BADGES NEWEST
 0F MEL0DRAMAS
Play Is by Maz. Marcin and
 Edward Hammond

One of the newest shows in New York is Badges" which opened his week at the Forty Ninth street theater. Here's what the New York Times critic has to say of 1t:
 If a nation is happy whose an- hals are short, 1t may well be that s melodrama like Badges" Is hap pier with, short review. To tell the story of this play of Max Mar rin and Edward Hammond at the Forty-ninth street theater last night would be to spoil it, like flooring a puzzle with its solution. It had the usual crook 7 combinations, placed well enough by Louis Bennison and Felix Krembs, plus lady crook cleverly If with somewhat more than determination played by Flea nor Woodruff. It had the search for stolen bonds, the existing rhythm of detectives set to catch people, the anterns. cats and hiding places that such plays live by. Together with "Silence" 1t makes two Mar cin plays to be seen now in town. And Of this piece we may say that if 1t made you think of nothing, 1t at least kept you from thinking of anything else, not bad compliment in our theater this season.
 But in addition to these suspend ing materials, these deceptions, thefts, love makings and arrests. there appears one genuine crea- ton, shared no doubt, about equally between the actor and the drama tists. This person, whose name Is Franklyn Green, Is frail and ab- surd little hotel clerk who has studied in Brooklyn school and learned 10 be a detective, and has also taught himself an unsuppres- sable mastery in observation. He has watched this girl who is being watched and followed in every thing she does, and he cones to lay at her feet his services and all his detecting and observation are hnrs It is he finally that ferrets out everything. the bond thieves, the murderer, the hiding place, and he who surpasses all the government experts in these affairs. He has an oddity, A meddlesomeness, an hon. esty and romantic devotion, that Eurn him into distinct bit Of char 'acter writing. And he IS half created and then recreated by Gregory Kelly.
 What Gregory Kelly has applied 10 this art of his is like that ad- vice perhaps that Virgil gave to farmers, to praise large fields but cultivate small ones. He keeps pretty much the same type in every part that he plays. His method is composed of infinite small manner himself and his peculiar character deanition. But within this region of hmsclf and hs peculiar character sites and mannerisms, Mir. Kelly works with astonishing subtlety and skill. His graduations in the dia- logue, his cues, his humorous in- t'ections, his aim that never misses theeffect that he intends, his quality of odd pathos, defeat and bubbling spirits, and the intelligent comment that he supplies along with the convincing naturalness of his play ing, can be praised as far as you like to go. Badges" begins with two ladies looking out of the win dow at a young man, the young man presently comes on to the stage, and from that point on every one in the audience watches and delights in him until the final cur tain, some moments before which inc play has paled a little in in terest, but not this Franklyn Green.
