THE FIRST YEAR, CLEAN
AND WHOLESOME PLAY.
REPLETE WITH COMEDY

1.-THE First Year." Frank Craven's
comedy of marriage. presented at the
jefferson theatre last night, is an
amusing satire based on the expert
ences of a young couple who meet
with the usual disillusion that fol-
lDws the honeymoon, when they come
ace to face with the hard facts
| : life, Grace Livingston is q. small
( gwn belle who wants change from
: lie commonplace existence with
hich she is familiar. 1t is difficult
(. 10 decide between two suitors, Tom
my Tucker, who is a plodding sort of
= fellow with few of the arts and
graces that would make him accept
liable in feminine eyes, and Dick Lor-
J ing who has the glamor that comes
from a dashing personality and the
prospects of accomplishing something
In the world as railroad engineer.
Grace finally chooses Tucker, who is
not quite as stupid as he appears to
be, and the experiences Of Grace and
Thomas in the first year of their
married life from the basis of an
amusing ply which entertained q
large audience at the Jefferson last
night.
Like 'Lightnin.' Dear Me-" Turn
to the Right and other dramas
produced by John Golden, THE First
Year" is a clean and wholesome play
which succeeds in being funny with
out any rlsque lines or situations. 1t
is almost quaint and old-fashioned as
the "Old Homestead" and is a well
come relief from the kind of come
dies which have exposed the stage
to adverse criticism in recent years.
Every line and scene mirror phase
of American life that is simple and
homely, but susceptible OF gentie
satire.
Ruth Gordon does exceptionally
we'll as Grace Livingston, presenting
a familiar small town type of young
womanhood. Miss Gordon succeeds
in making the part realistic and ap-
pealing. Gregory Kelly was unusually
good as Thomas Tucker, the young
business man who, in spite of his
difference, proves himself smart
enough to win a small fortune in a
railroad deal and sovercomes the OBJ
stacles which threaten to make ship
wreck of his marriage with Grace.
John W. Ransome, as Mr.. Livingston
gave humorous portrayal or an ola
gentleman who was slightly dear, but
determined to know what was going
on, while Fanny Rice as Mrs LivIngs-
ton. Ray l.. Royce as DR.. Anderson
and Tom Cody as Dick Loring, the
disappointed lover, impersonated
these characters In excellent style.
J,he play is one of the best acted
and most entertaining seen at the
Jefferson theatre in some time. II
is booked for the entire week, with
another matinee Saturday.
