Fred Stone Brings
Poppy Musical
To BeIasco

All the ingredients that go to
make up a typical Fred stone
musical show are present IN
Smiling Faces" which opened to
large audience last night at the
Belasco.
Clever dancing, sprightly music
and lots on nonsense, mixed well
and garnished with pretty girls
that's the recipe.
The veteran star is not so
much in evidence as heretofore,
but he still bears the brunt OF
the comedy and obliges with sew
eral dance numbers, but not as
of yore. Daughter Paula has
stepped into his dancing shoes
and definitely demonstrates that
she is a chip of the old block.
Music BY Revel
Smiling Faces" is first and
foremost a dancing show, with a
lively chorus Of peppy steppers
augmented by the Albert1na
Rasch girls. The music, written
by Harry Revel has pretty much
of a sameness, but is not hard
to listen to. The book at times
is frankly puerile and the comedy

Actor Gives Fine
Performance in
Great Role

It has been some five or SIX
seasons since Walter Hampden
offered Edmond Rostand's tragic
comedy at Polls Theater to ad-
miring throngs. It is a. tribute
to the enduring quality of this
sad love story, to the agelesS ap-
peal for this swasbuckling poet
adventurer with the long nose.
that the current revival opened
last night at the National The
ater to a packed house.
Graybeards have testified that
Coquelin was the greatest Of
Cyranos, that the eminent Rich
ard Mansfield had perhaps a
longer proboscis. The contem-
porary playgoer will not pause to
debate the issue when Walter
Hampden is here with a rich,
resonant voice, perfect diction
and an imposingly beautiful pro-
auction to emphasize the beauty
of Rostand's lines.
Imposing Production
For this Cyrano is a distin'
guished and colorful entertain
ment. There is no skin1ping IN
scenic or costume investiture or
In supernumerary detail. "Cyrano
de Bergerac" as MIR. Hampden
presents 1t has the spectacular
backgrounds which lend en-
phasis to the romantic speeches
and the pretentious fittings to
add verissimilitude to the scene
even to Eoxanne's golden coacn
drawn by prancing steeds. -,
From its noisy opening IN the
hotel de Bourgoyne, through It's
bravura moments in the pastry
shop of Ragueneau, in the peace
fuI interlude when the unhappy
Cyrano pours out his love IN
rounded sonnets under RoXanne S
balcony, into the flash and roar
of the battle Of Arras, and tnen
the restful and tenderly beauti-
full scene in the convent garden
"Cyrana de Bergerac" Is some
thing to cherish.
Hampden Is Superb
Truly a star play, the role OF
Cyrano makes strenuous demands
upon its No. actor. Mr.. Hamp-
den's physique fits the role and
his agreeable voice retains all OF
that remarkable quality Of modu-
lation which makes his acting
impressive in appeal. His Cyrano
is when necessary a devil-of-a-
fellow, ready to fight at the drop
of a pluned helmet, gifted with
the faculty of finding ironical
and grim humor in one Of fate's
cruel tricks, gentle and soft in
his poetic loveSmak1ng and ro-
mantle philosophy. I enjoyed
every second Of his presence.
Good Company
In the Hampden company are
fine assistants. Katherine War
rem, who makes a lovely and
gracious Roxanne; Johnn D. Sey'
mour, a handsome Christian de
Neuvilette with a musical voice
of vigor; Reynolds Evans as
Conte de Guiche; Whitford
Kane as Ragueneau, and Mabel
Moore in a dual role, all con-
tribute sterling support. "Cy-
rano" has been skillfully directed
