QUIET FIGHTING 4
FRONT MONDAYS
Crime MeIodrama, May
Be One of Seasons
Hits.
BY Dixie Hines

NEW YORK, March S.-All Is
quiet on the fighting front OF Broad.
way. No more actresses have been
incarcerated in our penal institu
tions and except for the barrage Of
press matter that is being shot from
the several offices, we will have no
definite casualties to report.
1.-THE Captive" one Of the plays
voluntarily withdrawn when public
condemnation was apparent, Is still
in the storehouse although a Mr.
-Liveright is getting quite upset
about 1t and threatens another pro.
duction.
When the District Attorney in.
vited him to go to it and take the
chances, however, he found it less
attractive.
Two other plays, Sex" and "Thc
Virgin Man." are to be arraigned
this week, and the outcome of this
will determine the rest Of the plays
under suspicion.
Strange as it may seem, the best
play produced last week was Crime -
a lusty melodrama by Samuel ShiI
man and John B. Hymer, produced
by A. II. Woods, at the Eltinge
Theater with a vast cast and some
exceptionally skilful stage direction.
Crime" is the saga of the local
criminal, with his gang, operatives,
feuds, jealousies and tragedies. The
high spot is reached when the audi.
ence is made privy to the stick up
of a jewelry store in Times Square.
Nothing is left to the imagination.
We see the trick being pulled exactly
as il was laid out by the master mind
in the act preceding. - We see the
crowds passing, the conspirators
playing their respective roles and
finally we hear the shot that denotes
murder.
1t is quite as thrilling and far safer
than any Broadway hold-up of the
past several seasons. "Crime" will
get you sure, especially as Sylvia
Sidney>as the youngest member Of
the cast and Chester Morris is
quite the most effective bad man the
stage has seen in a decade, while
Claude Cooper, acting the role OF an
old criminal who has little in COM
mon with the new generation Of
crooks, bemoans the departure of the
old days when crookdom was an art
and filled with romance.
In fact, Crime" while no epic, is
first rate melodrama, and for the
time being it has taken precedence
over the tabloids for sensationalism.

idea was that II one would visualize
