SMUT-COVERED
FARCE AT
BELASCO

The distinctive feature of In
the Best of Families" allegedly
smart" farce, is the presence
of lines in it's dialogue which
probably set a new all-time record
for sophomore smut in the
theater.
Connoisseurs in the riSque are
likely to sniff conterhptuously at
the Belasco this week, because
there is as wide a gulf between
plain, common dirt and subtle,
skilful, gilded naughtiness as be-
tween Mae Vests meter and
"Lysiatrata, to take a comparl-
son out of the current page Of
Broadway; and the producers 9nd
playwrights of this obStetric farce
have clearly chosen to take the
dirt road"
Has Snappy Theme
1t is quite possible that when
these offending lines are stripped
from the dialogue In the Best of
Families" will shape up as an eX-
cellent example of its type; Ger
tainly it has its moments" and
it's hilarity, even if continuous
discussion of who, among The
male members of a yirile family,
is the father of an illegitimaLe
child left upon the doorstep of
the household is likely to pail
upon the jaded palate of the mod
ern theatergoer before it draws
tc an end.
The note of novelty in the
farce is the ALLEGATION of the for
mula upon which modern detec-
tive thrillers are built to a farce
of this type. In the Best of
Families" keeps you guessing
until the very end. Then there
is real smash" surprise, just
as there is in the best of mystery
plays.
Is Well Performed
The play swell acted, includ-
ing in it's cast the veteran
Charles Richmond as Bronson
Hamily; Derek Fairman, Kendall
Foster, and David Morris as his
three sons: Grace Filkins as Mil
licent Hamilton, Marian Warning
Manley as jeanette LaRue; and
Florence Edney as Sarah Moor
side, and Johnnie Brewer as Ed
wards.
The farce takes the drama of
obstetrics and drives it forward to
new upward" marks. But in It's
present form it is too redolent
of Capt. Billy's Whiz Bang" 10
go far.-A. M. j.

Law Lost Mary

Mary Duncan, the ravishing
actress, who is now appearing at
the Rialto Theater in an impor-

of continental life, "The Boudoir

GUILD OFFERS
COW BOY
DRAMA
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

For it's third offering in the
Washington subscription season
the New York Theater Guild last
night at the National presented
Lynn Riggs folk play of Okla,
homa-the Indian Territory COW
country of 1900-and introduced
some novel technique for a mild
Rnelodramatic theme.
In settings reminiscent of
of O'NeillS Desire Under the
Elms," with the exterior wall re.
moved to show a croSS-Section of
rooms where the action occurs,
the guild unfolds the quaint love
story of a rugged cowboy for a
prairie girl and some of the dis
turbing and semi-tragic incidents
which delayed their honeymoon
Eve.
Interesting Characters
Green Grow the Lilacs" is not
weighed down with tangled plot.
1t derives it's main interest from
characterization from the primi-
five songs of the cowpuncher, from
lego mutton period costuming,
and from the homely customs and
simple ways of sturdy and plain
spoken people.
To keep the audience thoroughly
in the atmospheric mood of this
breezy country the Guild reverts
DO page from the revue pro-
ducers. Between changes for the
six scenes there come before the
curtain group of typical cattle
punchers recruited from the
rodeos. Backed up by husky
girls whose beauty is not entirely
pbscured by calico they sing some
Of the folk ballads of the wide
open spaces. A close attention
to lyric shows that the turn of
the century may have been minus
D jazz motif but it did have its
profanity and snappy tunes. From
one of these romantic melodies.
screen Grow the Lilacs," the play
derives its name.
Is Well Acted
Singularly enough the menace
30 contentment for these curiouSly
interesting scenes was to me the
most irksome of the antique
characters. He is moody and
sex crazed ranch hand and just
as I was becoming absorbed in
how the Oklahoma rusticS haze
frightened and angry elopers the
menace appeared in the hay fields
with flaming torch and was killed
in a confusing Scuffle. It was
melodramatic climax to act two
that somehow seemed to hit on
but one cylinder.
AS is customary the Theater
Guild gives us fine acting. Fran
chot Tone plays Curly McClain,
handsomely in every way, a sing
ing cowboy whose speech has
poetic lilt and whose pleasant per-
sonality an open-air fragrance.
Helen Westley, one of the Guilds
pillars, enacts Aunt Eller Murphy
with a warmth and a colorful au-
thenticity that made her wholly
genuine. Aunt Eller has blunt
lines, but she blurts them out so
naturally you forget that it's time
to blush. June Walker plays Lau-
rey Williams pleasingly enough
but seemed overburdened in her
high-powered moments in act two.
There is Ruth Chcrpenning play
ing an overstufed lummox with
naive charm with Richard Hale
as the unappealing villain.
Close to an ovation marked the
final curtain. Amid the applause
were cries of Author, Author"
and Playwright Riggs was eventu-
ally led shyly from the wings to
take a frightened bow with Helen
Wesley. Surely the opening night
audience liked this new Guild
play which bows in New York
next Monday night.

FOR ALL-DAY WEAR

Not matter how colorful 1t may be,
the favorite daytime dress of the
winter season is simply but cleverly
tailored, of wool. varying from very
sheer to fairly heavy weights; or of
silk crepe, in its various weights and
degrees of crepiness-fiat crepe. can
ton and roShanara.
Satin and transparent velvet will.
of course, be worn in the daytime
but for the all-day dress-fOr the
woman whose day is more practical
than social. the more tailored frock
is a better choice. Transparent vel.
vet and satin, made along simple
lines, are attractive for luncheon,
bridge, matinees and other daytime
occasions for which there is time
to dress especially.
Knit wooden fabrics also put in a
bid for daytime attention. Although
usually considered as sports outfits,
knit materials have such interest and
such prestige that they make smart
daytime frocks for town wear CON-

coats. or jackets of corduroy or other
informal fabrics.

MIELL, well, who comes here prom

sophisticated grown-up who glories in

ters and their cousins and their aunts
not to forget to mention mothers dear,
they. too, have become decidedly vel
yet-conscious this season.
There is no, doubt about it, that to
the very young, fashion is broadcast
ing the message of velvet with as
much emphasis as to those older. The
favor for velvet in the Juvenile world
has reached such high point of en-
thusiasm designers are not only ex-
plotting it for coats and frocks but in
a trimming way as well as for cum
ming accessory items it is regarded as
a medium Of outstanding Importance
For instance, with their costumes of
gay wool weaves, little girls are wear
ing darling muff, beret and scarf sets
made of velvet, often shirred as fanci-
full as you please or perhaps touched
up with a bit of fur. Mothers who are
def with the needle and who are gift
ed with sense of imagination when
1t comes to designing will not doubt
be intrigued with the idea of fashion
ing these cunning "sets" for their
little ones. It's really surprising what
yard or so Of velvet thus manipu-
lated can do in the way of adding
chic, charm and "class" to little
girls costume
Even newer than the scarf effects
are the clever little velvet shoulder
capes which are detachable and which
usually are accompanied with dimin-
utive matching muff. Sometimes the
order is reversed in that the capelet
and the muff or the scarf and the
beret, as the case may be, are made
of dainty fabriclike fur, with velvet
for the coat.

Year-Old is wearing a capped coat
made of black silk lyons velvet, topped
with a hat of the same White fur for

In working velvet when creating
little folks fashions the latest wrinkle
is to employ designful fagotting. The

This ornamental stitchery offers an
opportunity to introduce bright color
touches. The silk floss need not neces-
sarily be the same color as the velvet.
By using several shades of thread,
say red for one row o. fagotting, green
for the next and perhaps yellow for
third, black or navy velvet dress
is prettily enliven for the tiny tot.
Exquisite ombre effects may be
achieved by using various shades of
the same color. Per example, In max

drawers A damp, soapy cloth rubbed
over the surface collects the dust and
leaves the drawers ready for their Law
