A = AMUSEMENTS RAM'S HEAD PLAYHOUSE— “The Truth.” Clyde Fitch himsel? might well have been proud of his little theatrical dissertatton on the telling of the truth 1f he could have looked in last svening upon the Ram's Head Players &s they disported themselves at their little playhouse in one of his favorite «<omedies. The actors who had been cast for the scintillating charscters ©f the production, which was chris- fened “The Truth," largely because the truth was not In them, enjfoyed their work and it naturally followed that the audience, which filled the liouse, shared with them the pleasure of the occasion. To quote from an- other of Mr. Fitch's well known pre- sentations of clever small talk, it was “a lovely party.” The author had a remarkable fac- ulty for constructing plays in which cverybody is important, and this o is no exception to the rule. It hardly necessary to say. therefore, 3 : temporaries and to place words in their mouths that would reveal those wualities in entertaining and effective § nhrases. ‘I'he vivacious ladies at the sign of Ram's Head found In his text ch material of an admirable n ire to exploit thelr skill in comed; but one should not stop there, fory in this instance the playwright also had in mind the abilities of the gedtle- men of the cast and ihére was 'am- ple prowision for them. It would be unfalr to the playérs to attempt to mention them In the order of their {mportance, for ‘they are all ‘Indispensable to the enjor- ment of the play, but it shou|d Le stated by~ way of introduction’ that Leona Roberts as Becky Warder reg- isters with an unmistakoble ‘Spunch” and lacks none of the qualities re- quired for the presentation ef a liv- ing portraft from real lifc. Walter W, Beck as Warder, the busiind who lis perfectly correct in every wwrd or iact, makes a definite impressfun as a iperson of genuine quality. Those ‘who wish to chuckle and cugage i \Infectious laughter cannot wverlonk the work of Arthur J. Rhodds as Tto- \land and Betty Farrington, as Mrs. Crespigny. Maurice McRae' looms 8 ia cynical disturber of domestic neace in the part of Lindon: Ann I\ves is ay- gressive as the jealous yrite. lLive Lindon; Josephine “Hutchinson is sin- cere as Laura Fraser, the friend of all those who are in trouble, and Les- ter Shafer makes even the servant a: the Warders' an essential part of the action, Two scenes are show:n, each well arranged and artistically lighted. The play will be given the remainder of the waek with Saturday matine: und on the corresponding days next week. - SHUBERT-GARRICK—“Ham- let.” Walter Hampden's {nterpretation of “Hamlet” last night at the Garrick ‘Theater eclipsed even his own bril- ‘iant triumphs of the past. In the first place, Mr. Hampden re- embered that he was living the life . T VNN THE EVENING of‘a real character, not merely recitini the poetic lines of a distinguishe author. And those in the audience did not have to be students of Shakespeare to understand exactly what he was saying. 1In fact, he made it possible for the least informed to understand Shakespeare and the best infermed, verchance, tn enjoy him more. To live such a role requires drumatic eoility of the very highest quality, and Mr, Hampden Interpreted it with dowmi- nating power. If any criticism is to be attempted it should be of the audi- euce, rather than the players. The cast of “Hamlet” was perfect, and it seemed a pity that the audlence did not show its appreclation in a more emphatic manner. Although most of the house remained seated after the den’s reappearance, the applause .d not have the wurmth the players de- served. Willilam Sauter made an excellent Horatio, and C. Norman Hammend in- convinelngly. Miss Mabel Moore was a superb Orphelia, and Allen Thomas could mot have improved upon his interpretation of Polonius. _Ernest Rowan, e Laertes; Charles Brokaw. as . Rosencrantz, and Willlam H. Stephens, as Guildenstern, also deserve high praise. P. J. Kelly and Leroi Opert! took the parts of gravediggers In & manner that brought them unex- pected attentlon. There is no criticlam to e offered of the manner in which Bdwin Cush- man interpreted the part of the ghost of Hamlet's father. But the ghost was the one weuk point In the cast. Its make-up was amateurish and ap- | peared 1o more ghostlike than if a | shepherd dog had wandered across the | stage.
