_AMUSEMENTS GARRICK—‘Seventeen.” Garry MeGarry's 1:st pight gave a pleasing demonstra- ton of what results when a Ppro- nounced success in comedy-drama §8, intrusted to a capable and exception- allysn well balanced group of stock players, in their initial” performance for this week of Booth Tarkington's vlassic, “Seventeen.” + The mefits of th o1 youth and puppy-love are too well Known to be discussed. The greatest interest centers, it seems, upon the form of presentation the Garrickers give it. Percy Helton, as Willlam Sylvanus Buxter, stricken with puppy-love, gave an impetuous, natural and smooth-running- interpretation to the dramatic treatise role, which made fat and bald-headed | men in the audience reminiscently smile at they harked back to the days When a dress suit was the aim of | Sheir lives and when their mothers demanded that they take an overcoat with them on a damp, chilly August night. To Martha McGraw, as “the baby-| talk lady"” of Silly Bill's dreams, falls the honor of transporting back te flapperhood the matrons of the au- lience to days when love was life and scores of beardless lovers were ife's chief protagonists. - But the joipt honors for comedy are s warded without partiality to Edwin usheim, as Genesis. colored hired 1, and to Ruth Hoffman, as the i ttletale younger sister of the sev- that Ruth Hoff- ran is anything ¢ irteen year-oid girl, if you haven't sen her as a serene little miss in « her stock productions at the Gar- 3 e lends to her role an ebul- m which is given by the | deserted her husband, and of a selfish | {lover.

Hamilton, Garnett's only friend, pre- vents night-riders from wreaking vengeance against the proprietor of the den. Garnett later learns that his wife's affections are sought by Hamil- ton, and considers that the doctor has betrayed a trust. The woman will not £o to Hamilton until she is free, so the doctor seeks forgetfulness in drink. Nuring one of Hamilton's debauches his little nephew is critically injured. but the drunken doctor performs a successful operation. He then realizes his mistake in coveting the wife of the man who had trusted him, and | beseeches her to return to her hus- {band. This she endeavors to dp. but her errant spouse, in poor health and smitten with remorse, tells her to go where her heart desires, and obliging- 1y dies.
