New-York tribune., 1921-11-20

In broad way the chief criticism
of so many of the plays imported from
America is that they emphasize too
heavily the melodramatic, just as the
hlms run too much to sensationalism.
There is lot of me1odrama in "WeI-
come Stranger" but Green, as Issy, is
such a gentle, kind-hearted Jew that
ne could win the hearts of his British
audience even if the whole play was
melodrama. Miss Margaret Banner
man, favorite and a fine actress.
plays the part of Mary, but she is COM
pletely overshadowed by Green
There has been bit of criticism on
the ground that Jewish propaganda is
obtrusive, but as one of the critics
has said, London took Issy to its
heart at once" His is a personal
triumph. The parts of the native New
Enfglanders are played by native Eng
lislimen, who do not attempt to initiate
the American accent, and it is in this
atmosphere that Issy shines with ali
the brilliancy of the electrical concern
which he and Glenn Beemis promote.
This subject of melodrama is not
without much interest. Melodrama is
tremendously popular here. Otherwise
how could the Lyceum and Drury Lane
be crowded night after night and sea-
son after season? The British are
strong sentimentalists. They are poor
haters. For instance, there is less
hatred of the Germans here to-day
than perhaps in any country which
went to war against the subjects of
Kaiser Wilhelm. But the British. who
still persist in dividing the stalls from
the pit and standing in queues in
beastly weather for hours on end.
want their melodrama labeled as such
They want melodrama in its place and
straight comedy in its own particular
theater. David Belasco had a play
here recently which was bitterly at
tackled because it was considered sick
ly sentimental. One paper puts it this
way, laying down the lines of
pleasant comedy, on which it seems he
is not able to continue, the desperate
dramatist suddenly takes refuge in
crude, old-fashioned sensationalism."

OF the spectacle, chiefly because in
one scene the performers are scantily
clad. There is a great display of bare
arms and legs and naked flesh in gen.
eral-artistic generally according to
the defense of the producer. AS Lon
don is the big town of the world, with
a press more provincial and intimate
than that of New York, Paris or Chi
cago, there was a great deal of COM
ment on this scene and Ashe was called
upon to defend his taste. He said he
left it to the judgment of the audience.
because the British pit and gallery
would not stand indecent shows. Then
he produced evidence to prove that
pit and gallery had approved the CUES
tionable scene. In the meanwhile he.
as wrestler, had donned a vest, not
because he felt that too much o. his
back and chest was being exposed to
draughts and the eyes of the gallery
gods, but because he had changed his
style of wrestling from catch-as-catch-
can to Graeco- Roman
How many prudes there are in the
average British audience is difficult
to estimate and it is impossible to
make comparisons with the New York
and Paris audiences, but it is an in
disputable fact that there is more
license on the American than the
british stage, and it is equally true
there is more vulgarity in the British
variety houses, coarse crude joke is
applauded, but cotton stockings are
preferred to bare legs. Styles change
slowly, but there is little question that
the tendency is toward great liberal
ism on the English stage.

will be $3.50, minishment of the
former Princess box Office scale.

announce the greatest abatement of
