His Old Plug Hat

His Famous Band

Ted Lewis distinctly belongs to the
creator group of musicians. This
pioneer OF the jazz age, who /. head
lining with his orchestra at the
Orpheum this week, can take a piece
OF music and nnder the intensely In
dividualistic influence OF his baton
which is usually his high hat or his
harmony and an effect that is
uniquely his own.
Lewis appearance In his old high
hat and flowing opera cloak IL rep
resentative of his presentation. A
few men have the natural gift of
da sh and speed. so smoothly accom-
plished that effort Is no more ap-
parent than In the swift flight of a
bird. Sisler has this quality on the
diamond. Grange on the gridiron,
Benny Leonard In the ring, and Ted
Lewis has 1t on the stage.
The picturesque character and
pervading spirit OF this original
pioneer of the Jazz era creates a new
entertainment product out OF players
nd musical score. For Ted Lewis
does not use elaborate settings or
scenic effects. All the external ma
terial ne needs Is bsckdrop. q spot
light and his famous old battered
high hat. Lewis Is master OF moods
and OF dramatic contrasts, which
after all means that he IL super

I have seldom known a case where
there was such a divergence OF opin-
ion among the critics as there has
been about The Ounce Boy Some,
in cheap comedy" manner. heaped
abuse on it, while others lauded the
piece as fine drama. The two points,
showever, on which all agreed was the
exceptional acting of Antoinette
Perry as Ma Huckle and the indubi
table fact that the play was one of
,the most, il not the most depressing
ever produced in New York That
the plot is very thin there can be no
question. For the purposes of fiction
there would be scarcely the material
for short story, but the main theme
, of the piece-the mothers love for
her imperfect offspring and her obses-
sion to make him like other. normal
children--is treated in certain speeches
which have not only distinction but
real nobility. Miss Nollmer has a
manner of writing for the stage that
is so fluid and imaginative and her
understanding of construction and
characterization Is so sound that II
seems but a question OF time when
she will write play about which
there can be no disagreement of
opinion and which will be welcomed
az . truly great drama.

our opinion, portrayed the many
sided character with considerable sue.
cess. But although Hughes WAS the
featured member OF an unusually ex-
cellent cast, 1t was Miss Antoinette
Perry who carried away the chief
honors. The brilliancy OF her per.
formance shone through the .all.per-
vading gloom of the play az a red sun

fog.
