THE RED POPPY" by Andre Picard
and Francis Casco, at the Greenwich
Village Theater.
"Mon Homme" in the Village.

A gaudy and sensational Partisan
show for New York audiences, was
produced with some little difficulty at
the Greenwich Village Theater last
evening-but produced, nevertheless.
Out of Mon Homme" they have made
the wild piece called THE Red Poppy"
a little study of life and love among
the apaches of the City of Light
Through its scenes of conscientiously
picturesque sinfulness, the bad men of
Paris swagger, clad in the conven-
tional sash and velvet trousers and
pausing from time TO time to knock a
woman down, or perhaps merely to
bend her into a hoop and choke her
silently for a few moments.
The very title of the play comes from
the name of Partisan dive. wherein
all such goings on are not only tradi-
tional, but even advertised. and where
everything is so delightfully."- informal
that a lady who likes that sort of
thing can be knocked down and kicked
without waiting for an introduction.
/ Indeed, the little cafe IS staged with a
i fine attention to the expected details
and none is omitted save perhaps the
/ familiar quota of gaping American
tourists, for whose benefit. OF course,
all such gaudy enterprises are main
tanned in real life.

THE REVIEWING STAND
By Alexander Woollcott

the Partisan underworld by the rest
less bride of Prince Ser0ius SarGto6.
She is wearied of luxury. The rich
hangings-they all weary her. She is
sick with the futility of it all" She
is choked Like the similarly stified
lady of Mr.. Leacock's Behind the
Beyond" she is even willing to choke
herself a little to show what she means
She wants to get out and away. She
wants to go back to the rough under
world where men are real. She wants,
in short to be kicked.
So off she goes to the Red Poppy
and meets a handsome burglar, who
kicks her almost Immediately, and she
is very happy He also chokes well
and her bliss seems endless when, un-
fortunately he is shot in the back and
there she is. poor little princess, left
in an empty world with no one but a
kindly prince, who had never really
knocked woman down in all his life.
This triste outcome is effected af-
ter three forid acts rendered some
what bewildering by the polyglot ma
ture of the present enterprise. We
have the French text literally sprin-
kled with Lardnerisms of the first
water. The little Parisienne is played
by the extremely English Estelle
Winwood. so that we have ia petite
Claire talking about her intention to
"hand some one the raZz" in purest
Upper footing intonation, the while
she is wooed by a towering new
actor from Budapest, whose heavy
Teutonic speech makes it just little
hard for the audience to believe that
he really is the mysterious Spaniard,
Fernando. He is, indeed, the most
mysterious Spaniard we have encoun-
tered in the theater.
However, it ought to be said that
this matters less because much of the
entertainment in THE Red Poppy is
wordless, for so much is effected by
silent clenches, occasional tangoes,
and long. painting stillnesses, broken
only by the thud of some one being
knocked to the floor or the resounding
| impact of loving fist on loving jaw.
In short. just pretty Christmas play
which Henry Baron has brought to
town for the kiddies.
