GARR1CK-Celia Adler, in Has
sic the Orphan"

The Jewish public that crowded the
Shubert-Garrick yesterday witnessed
one of the best Jewish plays yet
presented to the 10000 Yiddish
The Orphan" has contributed to Jacob
iordin's fame as dramatist, and
though the living modern playwrights
like Pinski, Hirshbein, ETC.. have
successfully invaded the Yiddish
repertoire and have produced works
Of rare artistry, it is the old popular
Gordin who has brought up the
Yiddish theater-goer and developed
the talents of many an artist, some of
whom, like Bertha Kalich and Ben
Ami, star gloriously on the American
stage.
"Hassie the Orphan" is much of a
Cinderella, but her sufferings are
caused not by a stepsister, but by
in whose rich city mansion she is
placed by Motye, her poor father.
Hassie's village simplicity is ridiculed
by her aunt and cousin who exploit
her, helplesssness by degrading and
enslaving her. Her uncle and his
prospective son-in-law, men of dig
nifty and leisure. preaching morality,
force upon her their attentions. The
young Vladimir, a typical capricious,
good rich mans son, falls
in love with the despised orphan and
to the horror of his supercilious
family he marries her. But this
marriage that would atone in an
ordinary drama for all wrongs and
console the compassionate audience
is here, in Gordin's drama, simply a
prolongation of her tortures.
Miss Celia Adler, eminent as a
Jewish actress, has clothed pure fic-
ton with the flesh of reality. Mr..
Teitelbaum as the peasant father
with his pious simplicity and stole
perseverance was excellent, Mrs.
Name, the aunt; Mrs. Teitelbaum and
Messers. Poper, Wessberg and Sill
berkarten all contributed to the
success of the play.

BELASCO-"The Midnite Revels."

A fair entertainment is presented
at the Shubert-Belasco Theater this
week in THE Midnite Revels." AL
though George Mayo is not given one
of the prominent parts on the pro-
gram he furnished the principal en-
tertaining feature. He Is fun
maker considerably above the average
and his jokes and songs were well
received. He was especially good
with Claire Devine in Say 1t With
Flowers
The show opens with Tubby Gar
ron and some of the girls, in "A Few
Minutes on Broadway" which Is just
about long enough for the introduc-
tion. Billy Purcella and Evelyn Ram
say present q song and dance num-
ber, following which Tubby Harron,
Phil Dolan and Buddy Leo entertain
with popular songs.
Bayone Whipple has her own play
let, 1.-The Union Burglar" in which
she is assisted by Packy Callahan and
company. 1t is one of the entertain
ments of the program. Claire Devine
has a cold and her songs missed their
effect accordingly, but she is pretty
and wears pretty clothes, which, in
part, atoned for her indisposition.
Walter Huston, billed as one of the
headliners, presents q novel musical
sketch, in which he is ably supported
by jazz band.
The second half of the program is
1.-THE Midnite Revels Of Youth" All
of the members of the cast are given
an opportunity in this part of the
program. Some good singing and
dancing are brought out.

P0LT.s-"Tiger Lily" With ses-
sue Hayakawa.


Sessue Hayakawa, the dramatic ori-
entail star of the screen, has followed
in the path of many of his American
friends OF the shadow world and
makes his initial bow on the speak
ing stage of the American theater
this week in Tiger Lily" Fred de
Grezac's play, shown at Polls Theater.
Tiger Lily" is frankly melodrama,
with an atmosphere that combines
reminiscent scenes of East Is West"
and also of THE Bat" All of the
mystery properties of oriental in
genuity are cleverly worked into the
plot, and the hero is a rather unusual
character chemist who under
stands thoroughly the properties of
flower essences and their use as poi
sons. AS one OF the lines aptly puts
it, he 'slays them with flowers"
The play suggests Samuel Ship
mans clever comedy, in that the
heroine, Lotus Sen, is enamored of
good-looking young American de-
tective, and is protected by him and
taken to his mothers home, where
she promptly adopts a frisky use of
questionable slang phrases and a de-
sire to replace the real affections for
the fiancee of the young detective.
However, although her love may
seem disconcertingly inconsistent and
fickle, Lotus Sen remains consistently
a Chinese girl throughout the story,
which is gratifying, after the nu-
merous mistaken identity stories of
cute little Chinese fiappers who later
turned out to be American heiresseS.
one says she remains consistently
Chinese with reservation, for the
character is never consistently ori-
entail, but exceedingly occidental both
in lines and actions. With the eX-
ception of Ferike Boros' impersona-
ton of a Polish servant role. the
feminine roles seemed rather weak
and badly cast.
On the other hand. the masculine
roles were quite good. Hayakawa
was constantly in the limelight, but
Leslie King. as So Long. the old
Chinese philosopher; Frank NJ
Thomas, as the young detective; Will
liam Holden, as his older assistant,
and even Percival Lennon, in his
small bit as an eXpressman, are quite
satisfactory.
The Japanese actor in this role of
the Chinese Robin Hood of China
town. In San Francisco is delightful
and should make a great success on
the speaking stage. His gestures are
free from stacy mannerisms and the
soft, round tones of his voice, are
pleasing. The only defect is blur at
times in his accent which makes his
words indistinct even to those in the
front part of the orchestra, espe-
cialiy when he speaks rapidly. He
will probably overcome this, however.
1t is commendable that he does not
continually look out at his audience,
but, instead, keeps his attention fixed
upon and seems to live his role. This
max be because of his screen ap-
premiership and again it may be be-
cause he knows that he has an in
triguing profile.
All in all this story of Chinaman.
first embittered by the selfishness of
his family, then reformed from evil
practices by his love for a little Chi
nese girl, and finally triumphant in
both love and money matters, is
really interesting.
