The weather was bad yesterday, so
theatrical business was good. The
threat of rain drove indoors many who
otherwise would have gone motoring or
enjoyed their holiday outdoors. Con-
sequently during the special matinees
which were given by about thirty the
aters, as well as during the evening
performances. the houses were packed.
Election returns were read at most
of the theaters, many of them being
equipped with special wires for the oc-
easion. An interest i'm the result of the
election on the part of players was
more noticeable than ever before,
This was an outgrowth of several the

met and rose TO her great opportunity
last evening, 1t came in the leading
role of play called "RAin"-an acrid,
merciless and fiercely dramatic play
which two scantily known playwrights
have fashioned from a short story by
w. Somerset Vaughan. 1t was the
story manned Miss Thompson" which
made a furtive appearance in 'The
Smart Set a year or so ago-the
story of fugitive harlot and a raw
enous missionary whom a deluge OF
tropical rain pens together for brief,
disastrous interval in a boarding
house in the South Seas.
The two playwrights, John Cotton
and Clemence Randolph, have modi-
fed and carmined the tale as
Vaughan first told 1t. but have
emerged from their labors bearing
with them play that will engross
the most errant attention and will
give an immense satisfaction TO the
unregenerate. 1t is the kind of play
that would hardly have been written
a generation ago, when the writer's of
the stage were given to a more mine
ing gait and when, in the average
passing audience, it would have been
less safe to count on an understand
ing of the characters thus pitilessly
laid open.
The role of the Rev. Alfred Darid-
son has its place, however, in the the
ater of a day that is beginning to un-
derstand the witch hunters of the
world little better--beginning to
divine both the pathos and the essen
tial absurdity of those hot eyed zealots

THE REVIEWING STAND
By Alexander Woollcott

who lash out so furiously at the sim
ners of their community because they
themselves are so furiously seourged
by the devil that possesses them.
IL is such one-such whited
sepulehre OF the South Seas who
comes to the port of Pago Pago en-
route to his mission among the de-
lightfully depraved natives of Apia
elsewhere in the Samoan Islands.
There, waiting for his boat and house,
bound by the seasonal rains which
sluice the land, he. is thrown within
hourly sound and touch of Miss
Thom pson, poor. gaudy little Miss
Thompson, defiant young baggage
from San Francisco in flight from the
police of that port, She maddens him
and he pursues her. now with stones
for her ungodliness, now with threats
of her deportation and return to the
States, now with prayers for her inn
mortal soul.
And then, just when he has broken
and frightened her till she is ploughed
ground at his feet, the flesh which he
has denied through all the years of
his manhood will be denied no longer.
In the morning when the sun comes
up across the Pago Pago Bay Miss
Thompson is in full warpaint once
more. The little phonograph which
she had brought with her is once more
wheeling defiantly from her room and
there is disdain and disgust in her
morning eyes. Down on the rocks be-
meath the veranda of the little hotel
is the ReU. Alfred. He had cut his
throat.
1t is a whitening play-written in
the language that people do speak. On
the stage now of the Maxine Elliott
Miss Thompson in the blackness of
her rage spits out the words at which
even ONeill has shied--even O'Neill
in the luxury of writing "rhe Hairy
Ape"
There are spasms of such rage in
the role of the miserable, uncompre-
hending, hunted creature which falls
to Miss Eagels. She manages them
well-manages the whole performance
superbly. so that every moment of it
has the accent of truth. Indeed, it is
cast good almost throughout and
we'll directed by John d. Williams.
Robert Kelly. Rapley Holmes, Fritz
Williams, Robert Elliott, Emma, Will
cox-they are all excellent in a play
that wi1 offend the orthodox, set the
light headed a-tittering and thrill the
rest of us.
