Special Correapondence of The Star. NEW YORK, March 3, 1923. TWENTY years ago a Harvard graduate named Owen Davis and two cheerful young unknowns cailed | Sam H. Harrls and Al W. Woods con- | spired ' with one ~Terrv McGovern, ! pugilist, to concoct an entertainment ! for the’ten-twent-thirt, called “The ! Bowery After Dark.” The ‘same Davis and the identical Harris have now brought into New York a play that looks very much like | the best American drama of the sea- son. It is called “Icebound.” Davis Wrote it and Harris put some good actors and some thousands of dolla: into getting the play before the Broadway public. It is not the first attempt of those gentlemen to make and sell a high-brow product. After turning out about 200 melo- dramas for Al Woods in the days of nopular-priced theaters, and writing a good deal of trash for William A. Brady, Davis wrote a severe tragic drama, called “The Detour,” which the Shuberts produced none too suc- cessfully last season. And this year he made for Brady an excellent trans- lation of the Czechoslovak satire with bugs for characters, “The World We Live In."” am Harris was the younger part- ner in the firm of Cohan & Harrls, un- til the actors’ strike of 1919 brought about its dissolution. Every one said that this would be the end of Harris. Instead it was the beginning. Since he went out for himself Harris has developed a kind of ambition that the old firm never displayed. He has not only hired better players and im- proved the quality of scenery and direction, but he has also staged plays of distinctive and intellectual appeal. Two of the most interesting attempts at serlous American drama ave come out of his atelier. One was The Hero,” by Gilbert Emery. The other is “Icebound.” “The world’s mine oyster, eaid an doors are opened, the United States | Marine Band, under the leadership of Cupt. W. H.
