CAPITOL THEATRE Small boys, decayed vegetables, gangster bullets and other assorted trials and tribulations carry Buster Keaton through a series of hilarious woes in “Sidewalks of New York,” his |new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer comedy which will come Friday to the Capitol Theatre. Buster plays a millionaire’s son who owns some tenements. He wants to bring light to the tough youngsters of the neighborhood and starts a one- man ‘big brother” movement and a gymnasium, falls in love with a sister of one of the boys—and gets pelted, mauled, and otherwise maltreated in If you thought Will was funny inj baggy trousers, or in his galvanized |the adventure.

The play was unusual and was’ Presented with the finish which one has 9 right to expect from so excel- lent an actress as the last great fe- ™male member of the House of Barry- ‘more and Drew. If it was farewell ‘to stage productions in Bismarck for the next two years or longer, it was ‘ worthy one. One of the things which has made Sheridan's great drama live through nearly two centuries, of course, 1s the universality of its message and the fact that its moral applies with just as much force today as it did the day it first took shape in its au- thor’s brain. “The play’s the thing,” of course, and this one was inter- esting and amusing as well as in- structive and just a little bit con- science-stirring. It was somewhat as though Miss Barrymore, with her wealth of theatrical experience and her great personal charm, had brought evangelism back to life be- hind the proscenium lights. It deals with an era in the society of Old England when tale-bearers were torturers disguised as social lions; when a wagging tongue might easily make up for a homely face and when character was built up only to be torn down. Like all good plays it had a vil- lain, but, in addition, it had ever 60 many heroes or quasi-heroes, a charming heroine, of course, and any number of villainesses. Yes, the in- gredients were there and they were put together with sufficient skill to make a delightful evening's enter- tainment. Youth Wins the Girl Hypocrites were properly exposed and condemned, as they should be in any proper stage presentation where they figure, and misunderstood youth won the girl as the last curtain fell. Miss Barrymore also, of course, was not the girl who was clasped in the impetuous lover's arms as the customers reached for their hats. She is far too understanding a wo- man to attempt that at this stage in her career and chose a~part which was ideally suited to her talents. She appeared as the young wife of a re- formed old bachelor, attempting to! maintain rural ideas of rectitude and at the same time make for herself a' place in a society of whisperers and slanderers. She was tempted and found her- self or. the brink of dishonor, but was saved from disgrace and shame in the end by her own good sense and the exigencies of the dramatic situation which might have ruined| her character -had the euthor desired to attain a different end. _ The production labored under the handicap which confronts any pres- entation of a centuries-old play to a) modern audience but this was over- come by the cohesion and skill of the cast and the personality of Miss Barrymore. Costumes Were Gorgeous ‘The very remoteness of its setting, however, lent another and an in- triguing quality to the production by reason of the costumes, These were gorg&us, even though they didn't, permit a single actress to display much more than the tip of her slip- of morality, the play was instructive.
