Beginning with slow action which
gained momentum as thf play pro-

ford last evening presented Mr., Mar
teiie's new play THE Fashion Girl as
the next to the closing vehicle for the
company which will conclude Its sum
mer season next week with "Her
Temporary Husband" as the attrac-
ton. Mr.. Martelle again made most
favorable impression upon Hartford
theatergoers a. a female impersonator
and wore many dazzling and gorgeous
gowns.
Roy Briant is theSputhor OF the
production which waS presented for
the first time on any stage last eve
ming. He was, presentSlat the per-
formance and willingly admitted that
several changes and possibly re-
write of the production will be nee

more presentable condition. At
present the plot Is weak. the story
very thin and the audience does not
seem to understand what II is all about
even after the last curtain has been
rung down on Act 3.
Mr. Martelle. ms was the case In
the other productions In which he

the whole show. With the exception
OF song and dance number In the
second act which might be called
bit "risque" his numbers were effec-
lively presented and well received.
