Fay BANTER in The Other
Rose.

The happy faces, laughter and en-
thusiastic applause Of very large au-
dience at the National Theater last eve
ming, registered a verdict of more than
favorable both as to David Belasco's
new star. Fay BANTER, and THE Other
Rose" the delightful little love story,
without a blemish, which George Mid
dleton plucked from the French of
Edouard Bcurdet and converted into a
sweet little romance not often vouch-
safed the rising generation.
Whatever NJ Bourdet may have
originated for the deectation of the
Gallo audience has been completely
Americanized by Mr.. Middleton with
consummate taste and delicacy. and to
dainty touch of his art, both in setting
and staging as we'll as In his star, that
makes the whole what the sweet girl
graduate fondly calls lovable, There is
yet more to be done to reach the per-
fection that an audience will admit.
even though the critic may carp. for Mr..
Middleton himself last night stated
privately that the pruning and shaping
to this end was still going on. The
third act yet seems bit topheavy, but
who can pick flaws in what a large and
representative audience has taken to
its heart, as did that of last evening.
from the very outset. whom 1t rewarded
the first act with five curtain calls and
repeated its approval even more en-
Enthusiastically and with cver-growing
enthusiasm as the play proceeded?
Those whose admiration of Miss
BANTER reached a peak in East Is
West" must be prepared for a still
higher flight over her latest offering.
She has felt the Belasco touch. and
is responding beautifully. And this
appears to be the easier, with the
excellent cast which has been pro-
vided for her support. Even Harry
MacFayden, as the old gardener, lends
touch to the summer glory of the
creation. and young Andrew ]. Law
lor, jr., as Johnny Coe. brother of the
aeroiEe, today may count his
new admirers by the score, for john
ny is as important and outstanding
feature of the story as Henry Hull,
the love-torn youth, who lost his des-
peration due to his abandonment by
one Rose in the glorious joy of find
ng another and fairer in the garden
of love.
And who did not love the dear old
'ather, Prof. Andrew Coe, whose sum-
;ner recreation was wellnigh turned
to a tragedy by the storm clouds of
.ove. Ernest Stallard was ideal In
the part. And then there was the
fond and gentle mother of the dis
tracted hero. Eff1e Shannon, who had
profaned his Sanctuary by leasing

Maine spinster. who could pledge her
aithful service il love did not un-
dertake to tamper with her well
poised personality. Maud Sinclair
was Etty at her best. The married
.lirt, who was the cause of all the
.rouble, was very we'll played by Car
.otta Monterey. even If she was the
naughty adventures of the romance.
1t is an ideal cast. just as the little
play is an ideal love story. and those
