NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-Another
'Lightnin' is what all the New
York critics are calling The Old
Soak" which is the first contribu-
ton to the drama from Don Marquis,
New York columnist.
OF course, they all mean wen. but
1t is a shame TO call anything so or
iginal and refreshing as The Old
Soak" a second anything.
The hero is a likable, human. do
nestle derelict, who has been un-
able to work for the past six months.
because his time has been so taken
up hunting hootch.
He informs YOU proudly that he
has had the VIII power consistently
TO stick TO his drinking for S5 years,
despite all his family and friends
could do At times he has really
wanted TO give i- m but he has
stuck to his principles
AS you might suppose, unemploy-
ment and hoOtch have about ex-
hausted the proceeds from his ga
rage business. and when the play
opens a little ready money would
look mighty good in the family ex-
chequer.
So you hear about the stocks that
live in the clock, and you are pre-
pared for the family complications
which follow. The plot is unimport-
ant and at times hackneyed. but it
makes a framework upon which the
most glowing CONCENTRATIONS are
developed.
Second n interest only to the Old
Soak himself are A.. the home brew
expert and ex-bartender. and Nellie.
the hired girl, the object of AIS af-
fections. When Nellie comes across
the stage and announces. "Al's here,
Mr. Hawley," the audience bursts
into shouts of laughter.
Al has his code. When he goes
into the bootlegging business with
the sleek banker who confesses he
has never tasted liquor. Al eXclaims
in surprise:
You mean 10 say you bootleg for
money and not for any friendly feel
ing for liquor?"
Whether you voted for or against
the Volstead amendment, you will
vote for The Old Soak" His reign
on Broadway should be a long and a
merry one and Harry Beresford,
who plays the role, should be recog-
nized as one OF the greatest charac-
ter actors Of the stage.
a musical comedy with what
seems to be a BRIGHT future is "Daffy

Georgia O'Ramey. Marion Sunshine

Of Arthur Hammerstein is very

cellent dancing Of the season may be
seen here.
