'Erminie' Revived in Pristine
Cayety by Francis Wilson and
DE Wolf Hopper at the Park

No revival that New York has
known since the Weber-Fields joined
forces nine years ago to bring back
the glories Of the delectable little
music hall on what is now "lower
Broadway" has been fraught with such
sentimental interest as the revival of
"Erminie," which opens tomorrow

most of them gray and many of them
a bit enfeebled by the relentless pas
sage of time, but all of them alive
with interest at the prospect of once
more seeing and hearing the opera
which was the delight of an earlier
day. The case of the little gray
haired, birdlike lady who stepped out
of limousine and who tiptoed
through the driving rain into the lobby
last Monday morning is typical.

hrst successful play, and proved her
unique ability to convert, by her own
stage method and personality, a farce
that might be rsque into clean and de-
llghtful comedy. This gift also played
IT'S part in the success of "Fair and
Warmer in which Miss Kennedy was
enjoying her greatest popularity when
she left the stage for the films.
At the beginning of her three yea-,'
excursion into the silent drama Miss
kcnnedy's plays and parts were CLOSELY
patterned after Twin Beds" and "Fair
and Warmer" That is, she was intro
duced to the film world through "Baby
Nine and 'Stricty CONFIDENTIAL -
soon, however, she cought out scena-
RIOS that would give larger acting op-
portunltles than to be wistfully and
nalvely comic. And the receptive film
ian promptly accepted and applauded
her IN serious, pathetic and emotionsl
roles. Meantime this acquisitive youno
person was perfecting her art in panto-
mime, and studying interior decora-
tion-purely for stage purposes.
The important question that face d
Miss Kennedy on her return to the
stage was whether Broadway plnygocrs.
VINO knew her only as an ingenue come
dlennc whose medium was farce, would
accept her as an entirely different sort
OF actress, N quite different sort Of
play. Not even one of her dual roles
in "Corncrcd" is at all like the familiar
"Madge Kennedy part" This, accord
ing to Miss Kennedy, is one of the rea
sons she asked Henry w. Savage to
present her in "Cornered." Having
branched out on the screen, in a variety
of approximations, she decided It
would be retrogrcssion not to broaden
her scope of parts in the same way on
the stage. Furthermore. she thought
a play of dual personalities, involving
rapid-firc changes from the Bowery to
Flfth Avenue, mystery, a romance,
mind reading and a detective, was more
up to date and substantial entertain
mcnt than bedroom farce.
The success Of "Corncred" has proved
that Miss Kennedy is right. So she

"Erminie" had the advantage always
of what was perhaps the most con-
sistent libretto which had been used
up to the time of its first production
for any comic opera. 1t WAS free
adaptation of the famous old play Of
Robert Macaire," which was, in turn.
based upon an old stage story that had
done service in the Continental thea
ters for a long time. No less an actor
than Henry Irving himself played
Macaire, as had the great Frederick
Lcmaitrc before him.
In the opera Macaire became Ra-

''Adapter'' Steers Away
From the Literal in
Devising Stage Success

I'VE adapters Of foreign plays have
many crimes to answer for" saws Ben
Jamin f. Glazer, who made the stage
adaptation of "Thy Name Is Woman"
"a formidable indictment against us
could be drawn from the records of al
most any theatrical season. Some
times in wahtonness, sometimes in
sheer ignorance, we have been known
to take great plays from alien tongues
and by some blighting process of our
own to transform them into mco-
dramatic rubbish. On occasions we
have undcrestimatcd the intelligence
of American audiences.
"Of all this we have been guilty-as
class" Mr.. Glazcr went on. "But.
like every class, we have our black and
white sheep. 1t doesn't do to Judge US
nately. 1t doesn't do to as
sumo that every foreign play was a
great play before ore of us laid ruth
less hands on it and spoiled it,
Literal translations have rarely
been serviceable on our stage. Most
managers know it; most critics don't.
There is no controversy in the theater
older than that Of adapter versus trans
lator; and always the practical men arc
to be found on the adapter's side and
the theorists on the side Of the trans
lator.
Il will not rccapitulate the arguments
on both sldes. ! will not even discuss
the salient fact that foreign idiom is
in most cases impossible to transliter-
ate. or that audiences have each their
own peculiar national psychology---that

quickest TO grasp the essence Of situa-
ton. the favor Of a qup, the signiii-
cnncc Of a philosophical idea.
Yet the adaptcr's place in the best
ira ditlons OF the theater is too secure
to be questioned. Shakespeare was "A

"Ern'inie" was first produced at the
