Park Review

The futile vanity of middle age supplied Frederick and Fanny Hat ton with the inspiration for Marc Klawis I've Girls" that opened. at the Park last night. It was a very ordinary comedy. bordering almost on the farciaL that, was carried to success solely through the hard work of the cast. The plot was too conVen- tional, and entirely inadequate for the talent of the cast.
 The play diverted from the usual both of whom eXcellently carried their really difficult roles. Mary Young as Mrs. Carter Durand. and Junette Day as her eonVent-bred daughter carried off the honors for the performance. They bridged the weak situations admirably, and man nged to stage a remarkably smooth performance that would have been creditab1e to mid season form.
 Edward Fielding as Winthrop Hale and John McFarlane as Patrolman Richard I. A. Ryan were the best Of the male cast. McFarlane supplied a refreshing bit of acting, his clean wholesome humor decidedly reliev- ing the rather sordid atmosphere of cigarettes. kittenish mtddle--age and the fast mode of living to which the play at times was addicted.
 The entire story centered about Mary Turner as Mrs. Durant, and Jultette Day her daughter. liar riett. For reasons of her own, Mrs. Durant strove diligently to camou- f1age her real age. Modern aids of the beauty shop assisted materially her affected manner of a twenty year-old miss. No cloud appeared on her horizon until the return of her seventeen-year-old daughter from the convent, and then mothers worries started.
 From that point on the play cen ters about the frantic attempts Of Mrs. Durant to retain her secret, with the injection of sufficient farce that at times became almost uproarious. The climax came unexpectedly with the return of Mrs. Durant's middle aged brother from India and his acknowledgment of his relationship to her.
 The play was enjoyed by the audi ence, there was no question of that, and the entire credit without reser- vation can be deservedly rendered to the cast for their splendid work in successfully staging a weak plot that falls far short of offering them the proper vehicle for a. display of their talent.

IN THE THEATRES
PLAZA.


 -'The Black Panther's c1ub.'' the first super-specia1 screen production to be made by w. K. Ziegfeld, which is the feature of the program at the Plaza theatre the last half of this week. It is remarkable for many things; for it's brilliant and 1ovab1e star, Florence Reed, for it's well nigh perfect direction by Emile Chautard. for it's ideal casting with such stars as Norman Trevor, Earle F'oxe Ty- rome Power and Paula Shay, for the nicety of detail given it by the pro- ducer, MT. Ziegfeld, and for the forcefu1ness with which it's theme has been presented by the author. The feature is very long, but holds the att tention so well that one does not seem to consider time, so enthralled is he with the incidents.
 Saxi Ho1tSworth with Bernice Speer and the Harmony Hounds scored a hit last night.

EMPIRE,

Not since John Drew was in his prime on the legitimate stage has the theatre seen a light comedy perform ance given with a suavity and hnesse that distinguished Bert Lytell's screen appearance last night at the Empire theatre in 'The Man W7ho,". an adap- tation by Arthur ZelTner by Lloyd Osborne's Saturday Evening Post story. As Beddy Mills, the man who tries to break the shoe trust by start ing a barefoot movement in the social world, MT. Lytel1 was a source of contsant joy to the discriminating.

LYRIC

'The best yet" is the unanimous verdict of all who have seen Sean daP this week at the Lyric. This play has made the biggest hit of the sea- son, and for good reason-it's a real comedy gem, enhanced by some tense dramatic moments and the very best acting that the PoH Players have turned loose.
 Headline honors, of course, go to Edna Preston and Hooper Atchley for their clever work in the two principal roles. The way that they "put over" the difficult situations which they are called upon to confront has proved their right to stock stardom.
 "ScandaF' has been favored with a very careful production all the way around. The scenic effects designed by Artists McNabb and Hammond represent a big outlay of money, but they are certainly worth it. More over, Director Bernard Steele has got the company well in hand, and the play goes like a shot, from the open ing curtain
 The Lyric players jump from drama to musical comedy next week, when the famous Jerome Kern hit, "Oh, Lady, Lady, will be the attrac- ton.
