TYL Err REVIVAL,
OF WORTHY
CLASSIC
BY ANDREW R. KELLEY

Sir Charles Young's society
me,odrama of the lavender and old
lace period, Jim the Penman." is
the latest George c. Tyler revival,
and as presented at the National
Theater last night supplies a
thoroughly satisfying theater eve
ming.
Jim the Penmarl' Is of durable
dramatic quality It's technique
may creak little in spots with
here and there a stiited quality in
the drawing room dialogue, but a
well sustained interest is built and
maintained for a crime plot, tense
and interesting to the last chapter.
One follows the career of this
master forger with increasing at
tention from the the early moment
when the playwright uncoyers his
polished crook until the tragic
ending as justice and retribution
close in on a clever criminal.
In the competent cast which
producer Tyler has assembled for
the rebirth of this stage master
piece ii is given TO Cecilia LOTUS
and william Faversham to carry
the acting burden A third act
climax which Is largely con-
cerned with brief solilOquy and
emotional gesture was carried
through by Miss Lotus with such
convincing realism as to make 1t
an inspired highlight. The emo

tional demands of the final act
found an actress endowed with
all the essentials for upholding
difficult scene. Mr.. Faversham
possesses the calm assurance and
the acting graces with which to
veneer a drawing room character.
To see him as man pusued by
relentless PinkertOns is some
thing new, but one must admit
that the late hero Of THE Squaw
Man makes even his Jim the

most from the antiquity of lines,

STRAND SHOW
WINS HIGH
PRAISE

"The Mischief Makers" Mutual
attraction at the Strand Theater
this week is a show which feat
ures laughter. 1t has an abund-
ance of tunes, pretty girls and
snappy dancing also. but the
customers found its best quality,
the ability to produce laughs.
Bob Startzman is the leader of
the fun brigade as chief instigator
of the funny skits. Ruth Price
chips in with some lively dancing
numbers and a good voice heard
in popular melodies. Other feat
ured principals include Billy Lee,
Marjorie Morris. Arthur MaIlon.
Bobbie Eckar and George Rey-
nolds.
A good sized chorus is above
the average for looks and they
have been we'll routincd in
prettily costumed dance numbers.
Mischief Makers" provides
number of novelties, in fact 1t has
little of about everything that
the burlesque patron desires as
compliments for good show.

GAMMA WALSKA
HEARD IN
RECITAL,

One would suppose that lady
possessed of the rare gifts Of
purchritude and really magnetic
personality would be quite con-
tent with her lot, but not so with
Nine. Gamma Walska, who gave
late afternoon recital yesterday at
Polls Theater. She would be
vocal artist as well.
II at first a slight nervousness
evinced itself, all fear was COM
pletely dispelled when the soprano
sang the sweet ''.Violette" by
Scarlatti; ''Un Moto di Giolia"
and 'Das Veilchen," which she
graciously encored with a third
Mozart number.
Walska, whose smile Is suffi-
cient in itself to captivate her
audience, was almost naive in
these vehicles, so well suited to
her voice.
Her emotional rendition of der
Nussbaum, by Schumann, and
Schubert's Die Forelle," was
more pleasing, only in her charm
ing pronunciation of the Ger
man. the original language form
OF the pieces. And again We
were convinced that any metallic.
quality that might have colored
her higher notes lost itself in the
mellow loveliness of her lower
tones.
Giovanni MaEtino. baritone of
particular excellence, assisted
Nine. Walska in her program.
No better Judgment could have
been shown in selecting songs to
clearly emphasize the power of
his rich tones. which in the "El
cerato Spirito'' aria from
Simon Boccanegra. Verdi, and
the Vulcan Song by Gounod.
resounded through the well.flIIed
theater like full, deep organ
notes.
Doubtless he was most .appre.
ciated in the traditional Argentine
ballad. "Ay. Ay. Ay," and Con.
ningsby Clarke's much-loved The
Blind Ploughman.
Coupled with the splendid piano
assistance Of Walter Golde. Nine.
Walska and Martino afforded us
very satisfactory musical hour.

In the morning mail is COM
munication from Robert Sisk as
a reminder that the New York
Theater Guild touring company
will come here later in the sea-
son in a repertoire of plays.
Those checked off as sched-
uled to be seen here are "The
Doctors Dilemma" THE Sec
ond Man." Ned McCobb's
Daughter" and "John Fergu-
SON" The latter play is the
work of st. John Ervine, New
York World dramatic critic, who
has little liking for our Eugene
O'Neill. In spite of that,
"John Ferguson" is great
play and is one of the few
dramas that the Guild has hon
p ored with a revival.
This touring company en-
gagement which will occur as
spring approaches on E Street
is entirely apart from the ap-
preaching visit of the Guild
actors in Strange Interlude."
