Acting of Miss Jeanne Eagels
is Brightest Feature of
the New Comedy Given
at Broadhurst Theater
By Haywood Broun

The Wonderful Thing" which Mrs.
Lillian Trimble Bradley had in mind
is that when it is spring, and sunset.
and the last act, and bird just off
stage is saying "tweet, tweet," any
wronged wife just has to forgive her
husband. The scarcity Of birds be-
tween Columbus Circle and 125th
Street makes the lesson of the play
somewhat less comforting than It
might otherwise be.
The new comedy, which was pre-
sented at the Broadhurst Theater last
night, is an implausible, shambling
affair occasionally illumned by the
vivid acting of Jeanne Eagels. Miss
Eagels plays literally accented role
which in many of its light comedy
scenes seems to have been fashioned
expressly for Laurette Taylor There
was no dearth of charm or humor in
the work of Miss Eagels at any stage
or the evening, but there was an oc-
casional absence of ease. She rather
tended to pound certain moments which
provided substance only for definitely
hight touch. We liked her best in the
third act, when fearful scene was
put into her hands, in which she did
sDlendidly. 1t was a sincere, skilful
snd moving piece of work, which was
worth twenty times the play itself.
Of "Thc Wonderful Thing" it NAV he
said that the natural moments were
those contributed by Miss Eagels. The
play is built around the success of a
biackmailer in extorting money from a
family by signing the sons name to the
mothers check, situation which we
believe might have been easily solved
by the mothers acknowledging the sie-
nature as her own. 1t also concerns
the legitimate but now academic oues
ton OF how young man may save
himself from strong drink
At any rate, the eldest son, in order
to protect his younger brother from
disgrace, marries a rich French heiress
who loves him. His object is money.
but later he learns to love her. How
eyer. he finds it hard to prove this
when she discovers that his original
motives were mercenary. If it had not
been for sunset, and the spring, and
the last act and the ff-stage bird a
satisfactory ending might never have
been reached.
The play follows the somewhat old
fashioned device of alternating serious
scenes and then others of what is
known as comic relief. None of the
incidents of the play were particularly
convincing nor were the characters
shrewdly drawn. Life seemed ALWAYS
distant cousin of everything which
went on.

Peter Rabbit has had so many mar
row escapes, has wriggled out of dan
ger so many times when it seemed that
there wasn't a chance in the world for
him, that he fully believes that little
saying Its the one who doubts who
lcses," says Peter. "lf he doubts there
IS way out of his troubles he is al
most sure to find there isn't; but if
ne has faith, and in spite of everything
keeps right on believing that he will
find a way out, he will.''
But for once Peter Rabbit came very
near losing faith. There he was right
out in the middle of little open space
where the snow had melted from the
brown grass, and Reddy Fox was
headed right straight toward him. 1t
would have been bad enough if there
had been bunch of tall dead grass to
hide under, but there wasn't. There

, there when his head is turned
But it seemed as if Reddy didn't IN
tend to turn his head. He trotted
straight toward Peter and there wasn't
the smallest chance TO creep to the
safety OF that big bunch of grass with
out being seen. There was nothing
for Peter to do but to sit straight
where he was, perfectly still, and hope
that Reddy might turn aside. And
Peter did hope. He hoped with all his
might. Ard the more he hoped the
more certain he felt that there must
be some way of escape, though he
couldn't see the least sign of one.
Once more Mrs. Peter thumped in the
dear Old Briar-patch. Reddy Fox
heard it. He had heard the previous
thumps and he understood them per-
fectly. He knew that Mrs. Peter was
irving to warn Peter. He didn't turn
to look back Instead he raised him
self little, the better to look over the
Green meadows, now brown and white
He was looking for Peter, and Peter
knew it. He knew that Reddy knew
what those signals meant and that
peter must be somewhere near or Mrs.
Peter wouldn't have thumped.
