"Ealninie'' Brings
Francis Wilson
Back to Stage
De Wolf Hopper Adds to the
Merriment of the Revival
Which Is Iumultuously
Received at Park Theater
BY Haywood Bxoun

Francis Wilson was revived last
night with great success in "Erminie"
At the Park Theater. Few New York
thcaters have ever seen such tu-
multous evening The big cast headad
by MIR. Wilson and De Wolf Hopper
was augmented later in the evening
by John Drew. Laurette Taylor. Mrs.
Whifen. Frank Bacon and Fred Stone.
who dropped in just before final cur
tain time to present Wilson with
silver loving cup to mark the apprecia-
tion OF the Actors Equity for his lead
ership during the big theatrical strike
through which the Equity contract was
established
AS matter OF fact even the nom
union members of the audience seemed
70 take equal delight IN the perform
ance OF Wilson and of Hopper and the
show proceeded throughout to the &C.
compartment of steady and amazing
volume Of cheers and applause. 1t was
ar emotional evening
But. even bereIt Of all sentimental
associations. "Erminie" as played last
night would have deserved hearty
usually pleasing, and it was we'll sung.
The book, which has been touched Up
little, is not masterpiece Of wit,
but it served we'll enough to permit
both Wilson and Hopper to be vastly
amusing. Some OF the lyrics also have
been modernized by the simple process
OF adding few references to the crime
wave. blue Sunday and prohibition
But at least one of the new lyrics
which Marc Connolly has provided for
the song "Ohe, Mama" is excelien-.
This partirulsr number was excellently
sung by Rosemond Whiteside. The
role ,of Ermi.ie which includes the
famous lullaby among its perqulsites, ,,
was sung by Irene Williams, who gave
a good account OF herself.
Among the old favorites who were
rapture s'v received were Madge Les
sing and Jennie Weathersby. Norman
Bel Geddcs has designed the scenery,
and il is SAFE to say that "Erminie' IS
more beautifully mounted than ever be-
fore. The audience was so avid Tor
curtain speeches that Wilson and Hop
DER were forced to make two apiece.
Although Mr.. Wilson has been absent
from the stage for six or seven years,
he danced with grace and gusto, sang
little, slid downstairs and generally
DISTORTED himself as one of the most
promising OF our comedians. De WOLF
Hopper. whose service on the stage is
almost IS lonq-alth Nurh most of the
curtain speeches centered round this
very % .ntroversv more continuous,
was lust as welcome as if he, too, had
been away and had returned to his own.
1t was, ali in ALL highly satisfactory
