Looking Into the Lobbies
By EARLE DORSEY.

scored by this dainty Washington
girl at the premiere of Dear Bru-
tus" a year or, so ago? Bah" is
new to washington, although 1t has
charmed Boston for good long run
and is scheduled for a Manhattan
engagement If memory serves right.
THE Garrick Players, vastly forti-
i ned with the charming and al
luring personality of Mr.. Cum
mings, the photoplay actor, enter
into the second week of their spe-
cial series of dramatic presenta-
tions tonight with a stock version
of william lie Baron's THE Very
Idea." Mr.. Cummings has found in
Washington the popular response to
his photoplay fame and the Garrick
treasury, very naturally, is profit-
ing therefrOm.
The new two weeks, however,
will demonstrate very conclusively
that there is more to the Garrick
PLAYERS at the present time than a
leading man, even though that same
leading man carries deal OF
weight with the public. For in
stance, the Garrickers include at
this very moment a young actor
named Silvernail who has more
than an ordinary ability to draw
the last, least atom of humorous
content from any role TO which he
may be assigned.
His performance in "Parlor, Bed
room and Bath" is said to have
been the finest work he has done
in Washington but the role OF the
magazine editor in "A Prince There
was" was the first / had seen him
assume. Now, the part of maga-
zine editor in "A Prince There
Was" is what the stage knows as
a straight" part. 1t is purely an
ordinary characterization, lncorpO-
rated into the play as background
and perspective for the main char
acterizatiOn. 1t is cmbellsheu with
nothing that tends to make II funhy
nor do it's lines contribute, unoer
ordinary circumstances, to the
gayety of nations.
Silyernail, however. took such
part last week. inspected its general
possibilities and then read into lts
uninspired utteraECcs an odd, whlm-
slcal quality of mind and manner
that made it the humorous hlghllght
of the play, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. t"e
fact that L. NJ. Bell and Helen
Goodhue had roles that were pre-
sumed to monopoliZe the comedy
portion Of the play.
Snvernail lifts a part in this man
ner not at the expense of the char
acterization but simply by endow'
ing il with Il richness and person
aIity that evidently escaped the
pIaywright Nor does his fun max
ng become Obtrusive and hamper
the development of the leading role
in this case handled by Mr.. Cum
mings. Cummings appeal is to thu
Eeart; Silvernail appeals to one
more subtle moods. Neither give
the slightest evidence of great abil
ity to trespass upon the province o
the other.
