Familiar Type of Irish
Drama Revealed When
''Paddy the Next Best
Thing" Plays at Shubert
By Haywood Broun
The cast:

Having a real Irish problem on their
hands our English cousins are in the
habit of consoling themselves by Gre
ating false Ireland in their theatcrs.
The lrlshman of the British theater is
d person. who never means what he
says. His fiercest expressions of ha-
tred merely cloak a 1!cp-seated love
ne has not the slighte,t intention of
biting
The lrishman revealed last evening
at the Shubert Theater happens to be
a girl, The heroine of "Paddy, the Next
BEST Ihing," play by Gayer Mackay
ana Robert Ord, adapted from a move |
by Gertrude Page. In the first act she
tells the English hero that she despses
nm. In the next she SAYS that she
can't bear the sight of him, and in the
thlrd she throws a large earthenware
crock at his head BY that time. of
course, he knows that she loves him.
-. Inc play is rather poor relation of
the whole brood Of Pegs Expertly
acted IT might prove a middling good
entertainment for those who like that
sort OF thing. Miss Eileen Huban,
however, IS by no means a Laurette
Taylor. This young actress, who gave
such an amazingly fine performance in
not lived up to that early promise. She
was disappointing again last night. 1t
may be that she is out Of her element.
lhere was much that was wistful in
Nrasshopper' and precious little
c0medy. The role last night made
constant demand for hoydenish high
spirits. Miss Huban tried nightly to
supply them. She reached for everv
comic line and situation as Babe Ruth
might 90 after a slow one on the out
SIDE corner. And in each case there
vas too little restraint and too much
violence in the effort. 1t was only too
plain that Miss Huban was trying. 1t
was even palmer that she was not sue
cecding. We are confident that Miss
Huban has the capacity for fine work
iii fine role, but in attempting to
animate second rate one she brought
little but unnecessary movement and
wasted grmaces.
The play concerns the fortunes Of
an Irish tomboy and blase Young
Englishman who becomes ardent
through his love for her. THROUGH
the young mans gallantry in pretend
ing to be engaged to a damsel in dis
tress, Paddy, our heroine, puts him
down as philanderer ana deceiver.
and three acts are required TO undo
ceive her and send him to her arms arms
But no strain is put upon the audience.
as even the most supplemented the
atergoer should be able to predict the
outcome from the beginning
Cyril Scott was becomingly easy as
the hero, and Walter Edwin was ac
ceptable as middle-aced Irish gen
tleman who complained of heart trou
bic in the first act and died in the
second to prove that he was not spool
ing we understand that the play ran
for seven months in London. but some.
times there is no explaining the the
atrlcal tastes of the English "at an.
at ALL as Paddy would saw, and did
some forty or fifty times during the
course of the four acts.
