sHUBERT BELAsCO-"Lady Alone. "

A very straightforward example
of modern playwriting was disclosed
at the Shubert Belasco Theater under
the title Lady Alone" 1t is from
the pen of Laetitia Mcdonald, in
private life Mrs. Wallace Irwin.
The star of the production is
Alice Brady, who acquits herself
finely in an interesting chara cter
study which, though striking in type.
is difficult of analysis in terms of
ordinary human probability. The
acting throughout the performance
lends a security and distinction
which holds attention even when
the story appears to grow trihe
shallow.
1t is one of the most unheroic
plays of the season.
There is no clean-cut picture of
undying devotion; no loyalty to any
IDEAL no sacrifice prompted by a
noble cause or by deep affection.
The character picture most promi-
nently relied upon is that of a woman
who never marries, and who has q
series of suitors, from the youthful
bounder to the advanced middle-age
sentimentalist.
There is no striking situation or
unexpected climax. Events follow one
another in as definite sequence as the
letters of the alphabet.
Cocktails and cigarettes, freely en-
ployed TO indicate defiance of old con-
ventionalities, rather overhurden the
atmosphere, and the financial neces-
sites of the lady, who flirts with a
prosperous marital prospect, give the
plot procedure q mercenary aspect,
which interferes with the pathOs.
AS a method of exit from a laby-
rinth of heart complications. Lady
Alone DECIDES upon suicide; a very
sensible decision in view of the fact
that wedlock with any of her adorers
would have thrown the play abruptly
out of key by reducing it to farce.
Each act suggests material for a
new and distinct drama.
While the denouement is not al
lowed to drift into comedy, the elabo-
rate precautions to efface finger prints
offer serious temptations to linger
regardless of the midnight hour. in
the hope that the earlier evening has
offered only prelude to rafting
mystery drama. with detectives ham
mering at the doors and cross-ques-
tioning the entire surviving cast of
characters.
Lionel Atwill staged the play, but
did not participate as a visible per-
sonaIity in the proceedings. He would
have lent distinction. But the cast
played eXcellently without him, nota-
bly, in the cases of Joseph kilgOur
and Austin Fairman.
