Nv HAROLD PHILLIPS.

A finer evening we haven't
spent in the theater in a long
time than was afforded at the
Garrick last night. "Ntta's
Atonement," sparkling tragi-
comedy adapted by George Ber-
nard Shaw. with Bertha Kalisch
in the chief role. proved one Of
those inmeasurable delights that
induce reverent admiration for
the author, .Trebitsch: for the
translator, the splendid cast and
for its producer. Lee Shubert.
Shaw has essayed more than
the role of translator. He has
peppered the piece with saga
cious wit and then bids for the.
super effect by planting the ebul-
lient seeds In the mouth Of
chump. Jitta's husband. Alfred,
though not exactly giving the.
effect Of q bullfrog singing the
canary's lay, is nonetheless q
serio-connic figure, outstanding in
q supporting cast that for com
plete suitability eclipses any pre-
yious parade for q full year past.

fatal heartstroke for her lover 10

q penitence at all. With deaths
descent on the lovers rendezvous,
she dons the heroic mask affect

need Of secrecy. The feminine

the two original stars are absent

one OF the best burlesque shows
OF recent year.
Producer Bedini has taken q

ture Of his show. Just to vary

Cliff Bragdon, who has been en-

comedy parts made famous by

Syncopation in it's most viru-
lent form was provided by EN-
NETT Baker and the Sterling Saxa-
phone Four and they literally
stopped the show. Aided by Brag-
don, Morrissey and wells this out
fit made up a jazz band that
would make some Of the country's
famous jazzers look to their
laurels in a competition. Their
popularity was attested by the
most applause Of the evening.
Some Of the laughable features
Of the entertainment are the bur-
lesoue lion tanning act in which
a live lion is used: the phonev

scene. George Snyder also has
