National Players-"Quinneys."

A comedy whimsy. totally unknown
to the American public outside of
New York. is "Quinneys," which the
National Players will offer for the
new week, commencing Monday night.
The piece was written by Horace An
nesley Vachell. produced at the Hay
market Theater in London during the
early war period and staged by Cliff
ford Brooke, who will here assume
the title role.
For six months "Quinneys' de-
lighted audiences at the Haymarket.
Then it toured the provinces. Then
it was imported to New York for a
run, and again last year it was re-
vived in London. 1t is inviting to
know that Clifford Brooke staged the
productions here and abroad, acted
the name piece in New York and will
enact that same part for the new
week.
AS novelty both in theme and
setting. "Quinneys" promises the treat
of the season. In its setting there is
that old curiosity shop flavor and in
it's theme there is that provocative APP
peal for sympathy that distinguished
'.Lightnin':" The scenes are laid In
an English antique show, a rather un-
profitable gallery Of bric-a-brac to
(which old Quinneys. once a celebrated
collector. IS so deeply dtlacneu tnat MS
affections for all else are sublimated.
A quaint character, a lovable one and
the sort that instills pathos in the OBJ
server. Though apparently content,
he is that type which people pity.
"Quinneys" is on the books for Il
New York revival either this coming
sea son or the next.
