London Stage
By Ware b. Wells

n ONDON, Aug. The stagnant
pool of the dramatic season,
| with half score of the London
Etheaters closed, has been stirred by
the staging Of A. S. M. Hutchinson's
best seller, "If Winter Comes" in an
adaptation by B. Macdonald Hastings.
1t has been tried out first at Margate,
a popular resort on the Kent coast, and
is to be taken on provincial tour be-
fore it makes London in the fall.
Probably no production outside Of Lon
don ever has attracted so much atten-
ton. .0If Winter Comes" was an ex-
Extraordinarily successful novel, but
whether it was the kind Of novel that
lent itself to turning into successful
play was another question, which
dramatic critics made wholesale pill,
grimage to Margate to answer,
They have brought back very un-
certain answer. There Is clear-cut'
division of opinion among the most
competent critics whether the play is
good or bad; nobody compromises on
finding it just indifferent. The book
had its dramatic scenes, but its chief
interest lay in the character of Mark
Sabre. Again, it was longish novel;.
with mass of incident and covering a
considerable period of time in its ac-
ton. The adapter, perhaps necessarily,
has taken good deal Of liberty with
the story, particularly with its layout
He has succeeded in working in the
s~ain incidents os the novel and in
using with some skill much of Hutch
inson's dialogue.
The play opens with wartime tea
party at Sabre's house at which all
the characters are introduced Thus,
with some violence to the treatment
Of the novel, Lady Tybar is discovered
as guest in the house. Then Sabre
comes home on his first leave to find
Effie Bright installed as companion to
his wife. Fourteen months later he
is again at home, crippled and dis
charged, and here comes the greatest
emergency from the book, with Effie,
who had been discharged a year ago,
returning with her baby, Sabre insist
ing that she be given shelter and his
indignant wife lea-ing him with her.
Three months later Fife overhears
both Sabre's dismissal fronn-~fiis Arm
and the news that his wife has eloped

tune Twining, by threat Of refus-
ing to renew their lease, to take back
Sabre as partner, though that he
should be ready to work with them
again is surely quite inconsistent with
his character as revealed in the book.
The fact is that the character draw
ing Of Sabre, on which the book
essentially depends, is swamped in the
play by the incidents of his wife's love
for Hopscotch Millet, the war att
mosphere and the dramatic scene Of
the inquest. The character Of Sabre,
played adequately SO far as the part

goes by Owen Mares, is indeed sketchy
in the extreme. So also is that of
Mona Tybar, and the rather fine and
subtle love interest between these two
| is made somewhat obvious and COM
monplace. Mona was played by Mary
Polini, Sabre's wife by Grace Lane and
Effie by Helen Spencer. All of them
made the best Of their material, but
much of the delicacy and constituencies
! of Hutchinson's treatment had disap-
peared in the process of dramatization.
Only one of the critics had not read
the book before seeing the play-or at
least only one had the nerve to confess
the fact. His opinion is, perhaps, the
most valuable, as he was thus able to
| judge the play as play and not on
the ground Of its relative merits. He
sums it up as "a simple melodramatic
theme" which "starts off with q COM
fortably assured prosperity" Conced-
ing that it would have been better to
have seen the play without having read
the book, e. A. Baughan says that "the
play aroused genuine enthusiasm, end
therefs no reason why it should not. 1t
| contains the much-worn situations OF
the stage. Everybody acts in precisely
the way they would not act In real
life.' He is doubtful whether it would
be suitable for West End theater, en-
cept, perhaps, the Lyceum (the tradi-
tional home of melodrama), on the
ground that the writing, characterize
| ton and construction are too crude.
The critics mostly are agreed that in
! The hands of the adapter Hutchinson It
has been turned into something like
melodrana, but by no means all agree
that it is good melodrama. "Once it
comes to London" says one tersely,
II doIbt if it will last till winter
comes"
In the mean time, light fare is the
rule in London. This months new
productions include light comedy, a
farcical comedy, French farce and a
1 revue. Husbands Are a Problem"
the light. comedy by Harris Deans, with
which the Ambassadors Theater has
reopened, has plenty Of wit and epi-
gram, but little plot to hold it to-
gether. On the other hand, the French
farce, "zazo," staged at the Little The
ater, to begin the joint management
of Jose G. Levy and Captain Aaron
, sohn, has plenty Of plot and situation,
with Indifferent dialogue. "The Linn
pet by Vernon Woodhouse and Victor
MacClure, staged at the Kingsway The
alter, scarcely lives up to its descrip-
ton as "faScicalD comedy.

GARAGE FIRE CAUSES $4,000
LOSS

The garage of Vernon Lloyd, at
Salvisa, Mercer county, was totally
destroyed by fire early Wednesday
morning. A new Dodge touring car
and service truck, together will
all garage equipment, was lost, the
loss being estimated at about $10,-
900, with partial insurance. It is
thought that the blaze originated
from a private electric ligt system.
