New York Theaters By PERCY HAMMOND. New York. Aug. 11. WHAT more exquisite entertain ment for the drama-goer could be devised than the spectacle of such adult performers as Miss Lynn Fontanne, Henry Hull and Ralph Morgan romping about in the dubious eestacies of puppy love7 So proficiently does this trio of artists exhibit the pretty tricks of childhood in "In Love With Love,” that one almost desires to see it in a revival of Mr. Tarklngton’s "Penrod." There they go. scampering across the stage, now petting, now scratching one an other, and giving vent to cunning little noises, now amorous, now petu lant. Mr. Hull, the hero of scores of maturer romances, is the nimblest of i he participants la this emotional frolic. He and his passions are al most larva-like in their earliness, ex • *pt when he is displayed In the second act In a boyish fist-fight with mother lad. both being knocked out. Vou know the kind of fist-fight it is. T dare you to shove me again!" "I an lick you with one hand tied be hind my back!” etc. It is something like a grownup little girl and boy 'and. with, however, occasional lapses into senility. One of the dramatic oritics. writing of "tn Love With Love.” complained of an absence of heft from the dialogue. He evidently did not overhear Mr. Robert Strange, is a bullying boy broker, utter an elderly threat against Mr. Hull, his opponent for Miss Fontanne s favors. I could kill you,” he said, “and go <> the chair with a smile!” Aside from the nursery aspects of ts surface. “In Love With Love” ie lulte an amusing and disturbing Mudy in the impermanence of worn in’s affections. Miss Fontanne repre sents the beautiful offspring of a m-osperous engineer, pursued for pur poses of matrimony by what is known as a couple of boy-friends. Though a nice and very respectable girl, she is given to changing her mind with startling rapidity. Shs slips from Mr. Hull's Impetuous arms into the lets thrilling embrace of Mr. Strange, and perhaps back again, returning after a brief period to Mr. Strang*. She leaves her betrothals lying about so carelessly that she finds it difficult for the moment to tell Just where they are. Diagnosing herself, she dis covers that she Is In love with love, rather than with lovers—a mysterious aliment somewhat similar to that suf fered by ladles afflicted with flirta tiousness. Says she to herself: How many times do I love, agalnT Tell me how many beads there ar* In a ailver chain of evening rain. Unraveled from the trembling main And threading the eye of a yellow star— So m«ny times do I love again! It la, as the e&ying goes, pleasant to note that in the last scene MIbs Fontanne succumbs to the stable charms of Mr. Ralph Morgan as an earnest young bridge builder; and she indicates that he will be, If not her final destination, at least an Im portant point in her Itinerary. Miss Fontanne as the Irresolute ingenue, is a lovely and quiet excitement. De lightfully Infected wltn some of the resistless manners of Miss Laurette Taylor, her every skillful accent and movement evokes from the audiences loud evidences of appreciations. On the first night, for Instance, she skipped up some stairs so cutely that the cold and critical assemblage of Broadway drama-lovers was moved to demand that she do It again, which she did.. It Is a good show, as good shows go. and. while legitimately amusing the more thoughtless of the playgoers, it also contains food for those who think deeply of life among the women. It 1* a study of gender rather than sex. We may learn again from Miss Fontanne's performance that it was woman who betrayed the capitol, who lost Mark Antony the world, who was the cause of a long 10 years’ war, ajid laid at last old Troy In ashes. without, however, deliberately Intending to do so. “In Love With Love.” ‘by the way. is a product of Vincent Laurence, author of “Two Fellows and a Girl," another Broadway triumph, which is dlscribed as the best of the sweetheart plays.
