Meanwhile, having expressed a rath- er sharp opinion of “brazen young huzzies in breeches with pints of home-made gin in thefr hip pockets,” he is subjected to the storm siege of a young woman “in breeches” but minus the gin, who longs for a seri- ous adventure with an elderly man before she decides as to exactly what She wants. The lines of the play are delicious and the situations amusingly delight- ful. It is not one of those plays where physical “action” breeds storm centers, but where mental action sparkles with the suddenness, fre- quency and brilllancy of lightning in & thunderstorm. A bit nervous at the outset, Miss Burke quickly regained the mastery of herself and afterward was her own inimitable self throughout. with all her cleverness of old and those inde- scribable bits of personality which have established her_ineffaceably in the hearts of her ,admirers. Altred Lunt presents a dificult and a deli- cate characterization of a lover more often found, it is believed, in the inovel than in real life, and this, in |spite of the fact that as Johnnie | White. who adored the modern Young girl, but was willing to take a chance on an older one, whom he could “look up to,” Glen Hunter's work as a young' lover almost ran away with the play. Frances Howard 1s ideal as the giddy “young thing in breeches,” erratic, but wholesome and lovable, | and Charles Abbe, as the station mas. ter; Elizabeth Patterson, as Aun Ellen, and Clare Weldon, as the maid, with Frank J. Kirk, as the, manser- vant, complete an adequate and ex- cellent cast. | [ s ! {SHUBERT-GARRICK—“The Mad [ ¢ ” : ] | caIn Prehistoric days man lived in a! cave. His only weapon was a club. | When he went forth in search of a mate, it is more or less reliably as. serted by the historians, he took his | club with him. When he found the | woman of his choice he carried her off, using the club, if necessary, to subdue her. Whether such matings were happy Is only a matter of con- Jecture today. ‘ This “cave man stuff” is popularly reported to be still effective—with | some women, at least. In “The Mad | Dog.” a new play by George Sear- | borough, with Conway Tearle in the | title role, which was presented at the Shubert-Gatrick last night, is found . the cave man in the ninth degree. He | commits a crime against a young and innocent. girl, which leads sometimes to lynchings in this country. The; {audience is asked to believe that, ten | days later, the girl finds herseif in love with “The Mad Dog.” The program, quoting Philaster, has ' |1t that “Nature loves not to be ques- ¢ {tioned why she did this or that—she | i has her ends—and knows that she: uoes well” Whether an American | girl of today, removed by so many gencrations from her cave grand- mother, would react to this characte: of wooing, as the playwright would have the world believe, is also a ! matter of conjecture. 2 “The Mad Dog,” in its theme, at least, follows closely “The Great Di- jvide” of fifteen years ago, which ;Henry Miller and Margaret Anglin, largely by their marvelous acting, made & classic of the American stage. In fact, the incidents pictured foliow rather ciosely those of the {older play. But there is a rawness {about “The Mad Dog” lacking in its : prototype, a baldness of statement iand action that -tended to make it | 8till more difficult for the auditor to { believe that' love will develop under uch treatment.

He is on his way from Colorado thrdugh’ Arigona to the Mexican bor- der, when, seven miles this side of | tne'1ine, He ‘enters the old San Pablo Mission. He finds the S:fl. Maria, alone. She feeds him, bathes his wounds and seeks to inflence him to repent his former crimes. In turn, he drinks the sacramental wi and assaults the girl. The following day the Mad Dog returns, to make payment, he says, for what he has done. He urges the girl to shoot him, but she will not till he threat- ens her again. Throughout the long day Maria watches the man who has wronged her writhing In pain, crav- ing a drink of water, which she d nies him. In the end, in h lirium, the Mad Dog tells the story Which brought him to the Colorado it of the old priest who has been the irl's guardian, they wander off to- gether on_ the trail to Mexico, just escaping the sheriff. Conway Tearle is convincingly the Mad Dog—at least in the first two .acts.

Her acting for the most part is admirable, though occasional- 1y the effect is spoiled by a touch too much of “maddogishness” par- ticularly while she js bent upon let- ting her assailant die. Attempted relief from the tragic element is provided by the introduc. tion of Elue Quail” an Indian girl, played by Margaret Knight, who dif- fers from the proverbial cigar store wooden Indian only in the fact that she speaks a kind of broken Eng- lish.
