Belasco In Love With

It's refreshing to the jaded nerves
of theatergoers, who have been long
surfeited with the chase of garters
and bedroom discoveries, to sit
through three delicious acts and
watch romance, humor and a tiny
bit of pathos romp hand in hand up
the dramatic scale held together by a
natural thread of logically created
circumstances such as Vincent Law
renee has built up in In Love With
Love" which opened the summer sea-
son of stock at the Shubert Belasco
Theater last night.
II may be old fashioned to get a
kick out of clean comedy. If SO: maxi e
the most of it. y nicely adjusted cas-
interpreted the smooth running come
dy in Il manner that unmiStakably
delighted a large audience. 1t look 5
as though the star of stock is in the
ascent in Washington
There are only seven characters in
the play, but they're just enough.
Lotus Robb and Bobby Ames, in the
leads, made a decidIy impressive de-
but for Thomas w. Fowler's fine little
company. Zita Johann, remembered
for her work in He Who Gets Slap
ped has brief part. but a nifty
one, in this play. The other four sup
ply support of superlative character
Donald Gallaher, as the Juvenile; Cal
vim Thomas, in difficult semiVillain
role; Lynn Pratt, as Austere William
Jordan, and Leona Beutelle, as a
blonde ma id.
The title tells the story. y girl is
IN love with love. Two youngsters
are trying to place her opposite TO
themselves In permanent domestic
drama She doesn't know which to
take. When in walks Bobby AmeS,
known in this play as Jack Gardiner,
Young engineer and eNtempore
John for the Miles Standish of
Bob Metcalf, one of the admirers of
pretty Ann Jordan Miss Robb).
There's IA bit Of Miles Standish
John never speaks for himself. and
thereby presents d more convincing
plea for himself than if he were not
speaking for his friend Bob. II winds
up with the girl throwing herself at
his neck. And how Lotus Robb can
throw herself at chaps neck.
Just Il bit of first night nervousness
was in evidence last night. Young
Donald Gallaher had to learn his
lines skipping via train from a New
York Saturday night closing to the
names. The ordinary first night trials
aud tribulations. But the play rode
above all minor mishapS nobly. Its
Il play and the players are players.
1t looks like a big inning for clean
comedy i'll Washington for the sum
Tncr SeaSOu-morc power to the
BelasCO and Mr.. Fowler.
Let two things he said in conclu-
sion. The play is adroitly staged and
directed by Everett ButtertieId. and
John T. Lang shows Il keen knoWl-
edge OF art directing. Secondly, the
lesser characters may bask in the
knowledge that it was their excellent
support of the leaders that made the
first night a success.

anything missing this morning.

turning home Thursday morning
