English-Made Play
About Divorce Hat

By JAMES WHITTAKER.

the divorce law ol the tate oj New

remain tied for life to a diseased or

to spread it. But Miss Dane has the
same tact with which Isben handled
the delicate problem of "Ghosts.
Only a woman or a genius could ap
proach the rottenness which existed
in the family of the Fairfield of

day of 1910 when a shell burst close
to him in a ditch in Flanders and
left him a whimpering, gigghng
thing. Mrs. Fairfield and her 17-year-old
daughter are in the midst
of final preparations for a Christmas
day remarriage of the former to
the man of her second, more fortu
nate choice when the first husband,
escaped from the London asylum,
walks through the French windows
into the living room and forthwith
demonstrates himself as sane as any

her great dramatic talent tn one ot
those pro and con situations so dear
to the English stage mind. Even the
plays of our queer cousins are parlia
mentary. Miss Dane embrace the
dilemma. Her second act is full of
doctor and a curate, whist and tory.
who try to fight this thing out with
words. But Miss Dane, with a charm
ing humorous twist of her feminine
mind, does a new thinar to these two
straw men of the Shavian comedy.
She empties .them of their straw, lit
a scene so .well. contrived that it does
not seem contrived at all. Dr. Allott
and the Re. Christopher Pumphrey
talk themselves and each other to a
stalemate. With their throats still
full of more talk about eugenics aiid
ethics thev are gently hooked off the
stage by 'the adroit Miss Dane, who
resumes her play where it was with
out them. The writing of these two
as needless baggage of the drama may
be a weakness of the play, but it is
first-rate drama criticism. It might
cure the English stage of them for
ever It is the daughter who finds the
sacrifice which will solve the problem
and makes it. Since she has the taint
of corrupted gray matter m her
blood, she will forego marriage and
constitute herself her father V nurse
and attendant. Her mother, of clean
blood, will be free to remarry and
bear other and better children. What
makes "The Bill of Divorcement
a good play is the unerring instinct
with which Miss Dane chooses the
human rather than the biological ele
ments of this story for her series of
scenes. Shaw, of course, could have
made such stuff as the debate be
tween clergy and pulpit in the second
act palatable as a debate. Miss
Dahe makes it entertaining as the
comedy of two old men being thor
oughly and windily useless in a crisis.
And of several moments in the play

monstratively tragic final scene

disease of adolescence and quite
harmless in that period. But mumps
kill adults. Mr. Tarkington is in a
tad crisis of bad play writing and
we can tremble a bit for his talent.
nmrh a. the sterile consolation - ofin running a dog farm, finds trouble
knowing that those who benefit know
that a sacrifice is being: made and of
that other bitter scene where the
weak-willed elder woman fails mis
erably in her task of persuading her
first husband to accept exile and in
stead, bears his victorious caress with
concealed loathing) of these mo
ments Miss Dane makes drama which
you may allow to wrinu your heart
without shame.
, The players of this play are . in
some ways an amusing relic It con
tains no less than three actors who
stmt, have hooked noses, brush their
hair back and intone plain English in
the deeply thrilling bass which went
away from the American stage with
Lillian Russell's spangled trunks.
Even Allen Pollock, the Englishman
who act the temporarily sane vic
tim of the good laws, is a bit more
an actor than our taste in acting re
quires. But Katherine Cornell joins
the thin ranks of good American
players with her fine embodiment ot
the fine girl who, thanks to Miss
Cornell, know how to make a sacri
fice without being heard to wail on
the other side 'of Broadway.
&
The fever for writing bad play
usually racks the writing human
when he is younger than Booth
Tarkington, who has neverthelesi
succumbed in . the writing of "The
Wren," which we now he in the
Helen Hayes, the delicious young
ster of "Bab," is the wren of the
title. She portrays a simple .-and
rather annoying little Miss Fixit of a
New England seascoast - village
whose Occupation in the three acts is
the choosing of . exact and . moral
positions for all the furniture and
all the characters. It is character
ization which will not tank Miss
Hayes for all of the delightful and
simple skill which she lavishes on
it. You may detect in these com
ments a certain bitterness. It is
mostly the bitterness of displeasure
with Mr. Tarkington that he did no
better for Miss. Hayes, who has
right to his best.
We could forgive Mr. Tarkington
his windy elaborations of the "Way
Down East" comedy principle, his
several characters stolen from the
farm rubric of Miller's compiled
American humor and . the eleventh
unfunny hired man seen on the dis
astrous stage of this earljall, but
We cannot pardon him that he did
not write Helen Hayes appealing
charm into Helen Hayes' part. . It
would have been so easy and pleas
ant to have written the play with a
picture of Helen Hayes beside the
typewriter. .
The play about does, entitled
"Beware, of Doge," composed by
William Hodge and in which be and
the dogs are now acting in the
Broadhurst theater, is so innocent in
its merriment that certain humorous
references to the morals of the latter
are spoken almost shudderingly by
the former. This . illustrates Mr.
Hodges' method, which is to furnish
amusement at once uncensorable and
not unbearable for some adult
audiences. . , At the wrong end of
every dog-leash is the owner. ... Mr..
Hodge, as an upright and affable
young lawyer, temporarily engaged
at both ends of the leash,
Between the vices of the dogs and
their owners Mr. Hodge stands, a
patient object of snarls until the
time comes for him to make a
Hodge end to a Hodge play. Then
he turns on human and canine tor
mentors and lashes them into sub
mission with an . old-time Hodge
speech, full of the Hodge quiet,
facile and nasal irony.. Enfolding the
Hodge girl in his arms, he speaks
the moral of his essay on dog-rearing:
"Never again."
The play is. full of the peaceful
bonhomie and untaxing mirth which
the very electric lights before the
Broadhurst arranged to spell Mr.
Hodge's name, promise. It is a
restful form of amusement that may
be heartily recommended to those
who have had too much of other
kinds and to those who have had too
little of any kind.
"Love Dreams" at the 2 Times
Square theater has the names of the
eight chorus girls printed in the cast
and is called a "Melody Drama" in
the printed program, all by way of
persuading me to tell yon that it is
a very unusual and meritorious
musical comedy. -
It is just another musical comedy.
It ends unexpectedly, after Miss
Vera Michelena and two comedians
have worn harem clothes, on a very

When Mitchell Took
Acting for Career
Grant Mitchell, who i scoring a
great ucre in "The Champion"
coming to the Brandei next
Wednesday and Thurdav with
muinre Thursday, had no intention
of gaining fame and fortune on the
Htge when he went to Yale. In
stead it wa all rut and dried that
he should become a lawyer, o
alter graduating from Yale he went
to the Harvard law school and took
hi degree.
Mr. Mitchell found the practice of
law in hi home city, Columbus, 0
very tedious and hi client were few
find lar between. lie toon tired
wirming an office chair without
materially increasing hit income
and o lie decided to go on the
Mage not particularly because he
was fitted tor the theatrical profes
sion, but because he thought there
was more money in it.
He went to New York and took
a course of training in the New
York academy of dramatic arts and
some time later found hinself carry
ing a spear in Richard Mansfield'
production of "Julius Caesar."
Thii was his stage debut. His next
engagement was with Clara Blood
good in "The Girl With the Green
Lye. Thi wa followed by two
season witn rrancis wuson in
Cousin Billy" and "The Mountain
Climber." A tour with Lillian Rus
sell in "The Butterfly" and one with
ilaxine tlliott in Bettina were
next in order and Mr. Mitchell
dosed with the latter in time to join
"Girls" and create one of the prin
cipal roles.
In "The Call of the North" with
Robert Edeson Mr. Mitchell played
the role of Rev. Archibald Crane
and the next season he went' back
to Miss Elliot and toured in "The
Chaperone." Then Mr. Mitchell
came into his own for he joined
the Cohan and Harris forces and
since then his. rise has been rapid.
"The Fortune Hunter" was the first
of several successes and this was
followed by "Get-Rick-Quick Wal
lingford," in which he created the
humorous role of Eddie Lamb, the
hotel clerk.
In "It Pay to Advertise." Mr.
Mitchell was cast in the role of
Dobney Martin and played this for
two seasons. "A Tailor-Made Man"
made Mr. Mitchell famous and his
role of John Paul Bart was a char
acter creation long to be remem
bered. Mr. Mitchell succeeded
George M. Cohan in the title role of
"A Prince There Was," and then last
season Mr. Harris starred him in
"The Chanpion."

Juvenile, jio U appearing; lliu week
at the Orpheum theater in association
with the Darling sisters, began hit
stage career at the tender age of 6.
He had heard AI JoUon sing and, in
tn unbelievable Hvle, he imitated him
to cleverly that he w.it given hit
first job iniperionatinu the blackface
musical comedy Mar. He ha never
allowed hit admiration of lolkon to

that he always wanted to be, and
Mill doe. Yet in h 'urn. thi
snappy little entertainer ha made
a reputation for hinntrlf a a singer
and dancer of tmiMcal comedy ex-,
perinice. He has an extraordinary
voice, pleasing and sympathetic in
style and nualitv.
Laughable a it may seem, it it
neverthclex a fart (hat this "kid"
has developed temperament. And
thi attribute, which usually i to
be tound among Brand opera star
and is hated among manager, caused
cult to have a tilt with one ol Broad
way's most successful musical
comedy producer. It is now past
history, but humorously recalled hiw
this youngster told the impresario he
would not take the- character in a
forthcoming production unless it was
made a principal role.
"I've passed the stage where I amto
be 'among those present.'" he told
the manager. "You can find some one,
most Kfcely, who will he contented
with that part but not I." And this
youthful 'star" walked out of the
manager orhce head up in the air
and hied himself to the office of hi I
brother, Nat Nazarro. theatrical man- j
ager and vaudeville performer, and
asked tor an enmcemcnt.
"I can't get along with the boss
about our new show," he told his
brother, "and I want vou to place
me in vaudeville, where I will be of
some consequence and what I do will
be an important part not just a part
oi a picture.
So the present vaudeville act was
arranged, and the Darling sisters,
who are under the elder Nazarro s
managership, were made the other
two-thirds of the act. These sisters
came to vaudeville from a New York
cabaret, where their dancing and
singing attracted many .managers
very much, but Nat Nazarro most,
and he put tiiein under contract.
