OTHER STAGE GOSSIP
BY DIXIE HINES.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The third
and last OF the Shaw cycle. devoted
to that monumental dramatic tome,
Back to Methuselah," was cele-
brated by the loyal and courageous
Theater Guild last week. In this
epoch Mr.. Shaw seeks to fathom the
future, ard he doesn't succeed very
well. L is less tedious than the sec
ond series and likewise briefer, but it
offers nothing particularly amusing
or revolutionary. unless We accept
his prediction that bGbies will be
born in eggs and will be full grown
fappers when they emerge and that
the human span of life will be about
six years instead of 300, which he
prognosticated in the middle cycle.
He sets the time for his last cycle at
the year 300. and they are a deadly dull
lot Of people who live at this time They
manage to make a couple Of automatons
who speak and fight and act naturally
according to our 1922 views. but alto
gether they are an uninterestiug lot Of
people living for themselves alone with
out animal friends, or in fact, anything
that would be likely to appeal to US
Now that the cycle has been concluded,
we still feel that the Theater Guild has
been far more loyal to Mr.. Shaw and
courageous TO its artistic principles than
it has been wise.

FRANCES WHITE
AGAIN BIDS FOR FAVOR.

Frances White and Taylor Holmes came
into town this week with an amusing
comedy from the French which had some
attractive music It is called The Ho-
tel Mouse" and the title role IS imper-
sonated-and much ingratiatingly imper-
sonated-by Frances White herself as a
hotel thief who robs a good looking
young man of his jewels and finally OF
his heart. She returns all the loot but
the latter. In the unfolding Of this
amusing comedy there are many at
tractive dance numbers arranged, some
very tuneful music by Arman Vecsy and
the late Ivan Carryl. The lyrics OF
Clifford Grey are not always equal to
the music, but Guy Bolton has added
some attractive lines and bright humor
to the dialogue which he adapted from
a French source. In the cast besides
Miss White and Taylor Holmes is the
amusing Barnett Parker and the stately
ny Marble, who dances and looks good.
1.-THE Hotel Mouse" will run up the
clock of time for a long while.

DRAMATIC MOVIE
BOOKED AT ALHAMBR

THE YEARS SEEM
TO BOTHER PLAYWRIGHTs.


It seems to be the desire Of each sue
ceeding playwright to do better than the
one who preceded him. Therefore, when
Frank Craven wrote a play called THE
First Year. depicting the vicissitudes
which befan young married people,
young Mr.. Henry Meyers. new to our
burg, wrote n play and called It "The
First Fifty Years." devoted to the theory
that after the golden wedding anniyer-
sary has been celebrated the rest or
married life is relatively easy.
The play is episode and divided into
sections Of wedding anniversaries, open
ing with the advent OF the young bridal
couple fresh from Niagara Falls to their
new home, and thereafter things begin to
pail. In one scene he punches her on
the nose, and in the next he curses her
as she retRliates by protesting her love
for his former rival.
In another they do not speak to each
other and up to this point this was tho
best acted scene of the play Next we
find her still silent but dutifully nurs-
ing him back to health. In this act theS
break their silence and finally, after
fifty years they seek to rehabilitate their
lives and find the happiness which has
eluded them.
The play was acted by Claire Eames
and Tom Powers alone, and after the
first half they acquitted themselves adj
mirably Indeed, in the later scenes they
gave really brilliant and effective per-
formances. But II is rather difficult for
rs to accept the theory Of the playwright
that welded bliss is altogether myth,
hence. without knowing the promising
young playwright, we are inclined TO
abb him with his extreme youth. We
are always pessimistic when extremely
young.
