The gift w c OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS ‘ SHUBERT-BELASCO—“Lily Sue.” It has been remarked that after a period of 20 years old fashions return, more or less modified perbaps, yet with recognizable resemblance. Ac- cording to the Belasconian theory the time is here for another wave of melodrama, with the lover, caught in a web of circumstantial evidence, saved by his faithful sweetheart from a mob on lynching bent. It is about 20 years ago that David Belasco wrote and produced ‘“The Girl of the Golden West.” F And now comes “Lily Sue:” It sounds a note that appealed agreeably last.night: To bark back to the poet writihg of the village school belle, “Its music's just the same, dear Dave, as 20 years ago!” But it is louder music, with more in- tricate embellishments. “Lily Sue” is complete unto itself as a melodrama and will scarcely inspire a Puccini to build mel righten its emotion- plities. “The Girl” called for an orchestra, “Lily Sue” calls for a brass band. Willard Mack, a smooth actor, though a rugged playwright, had cast himself for the role of the sheriff, heartwrung in the struggle between love and duty. Washington longed to see him play the part. Perhaps Mack rehearsed Jack Reseleith in the role. Mack could not have portrayed it better himself. Another character that commanded attention was the Blackfoot Indian who, though educated in the East, re- tained an unconquerable thirst for fire water, along with aboriginal im- - | pulses toward American chivalry. The love element, which ranged all the way from the girl deceived and discarded to the woman whose devoted determination won eventual triumph, is emphasized with unremitting force. The element of human revenge is powerful, yet subordinated to a degree which shows artistic discretion. The story is about a girl named in ithe title; a Montana girl in the early *90s, when Western romance still re- tained traces of the life that prompt- ed the genius of Pret Harte and Joaquin Miller. Much of the current romance of the far West is solesistic. ssumes conditions that no longer Prohobition has doomed the dance halls and cowboys have become the companions of princes. But the song, “He Hasn't Done Right by Nell,” rings true, even in the drama, and ‘the gratification of the audience in seeing the villain's neck wrung constitutes a comforting assurance of the basic integrity of human nature. It is necessary for Mr. Belasco, in the curtain speech, which constitutes an_intrinsic portion of every play with which he is associated, to be able to say, “I am very proud” in a manner which contradicts his Words and implies a most deferential mod- esty. In this case it is Beth Merrill of whom he is justly proud. An actress, ciad in gingham from the beginning to the end of the play, burdened in speech with an ungainly dialect and reliance for appeal on a portrayal of the complete and unconquerable de- votion of a loyal woman, she gives a performance of tragic intensity . “Skinny’ Women Lose|| m EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, combined with irresistible personal charm. Belasco reasserts himself in this play—the Belasco of “Du Barry” and “Darling of the Gods.” The settings | are beautiful. The lighting effects are well managed, but the great effect of all is reserved for the final act, when the scene is slowly revealed to the eye and the little stone build- ing on which so much drama is cen- tered is made to prove that even a jail may be made picturesque. “Lily Sue” will scarcely be refer- red_to by future generations as a “cldssic.” It utflizesy tamiliaz plot mechanisms , without ¥ gestraint - and with immense -Ingefitdtys- Its Jits['y, erary quality ‘Mes in_the dialo ue rather’than in’its human” analyst: its study ok imexorable fate.* The tines A are witty, humorous, sometimes elo- quent, yet always appropriate to the character, save in the profanities, which would never have been permit- ted a woman in the 1880s. A crowded house was in attend- ance. The applause afforded every assurance that in spite of the terrible things said about some of his recent productions, Belasco is still a pet of the populance. PH, J. NATIONAL—“Yes, Yes, Yvette.” An old-time favorite came ¢o the National Theater last night all dressed up in a new form with embellishments of catching melodies and choruses of eager and very youthful lassies and capable lads, and the transformation was undoubtedly a success. To tell the absolute and unequivocal truth, this new H. H. Frazee produc- tion, “Yes, Yes, Yvette,” the plot of which is lifted ‘almost in its entirety | from the stage play “Nothing But the Truth,” proved to be a very enjoyable | musical comedy. And while it is not | to be rated in the same rank ‘with| Frazee’s “No, No, Nanette,” the pro-| ducer is deserving another bow—and he got it from the first-nighters at the National. The very fact that the production got off on the wrong foot in the open- ing scenes and that ther¢ was a noticeable roughness in the move- ments of the chorus in romping on and off stage is a testimonial to the appeal of the show as a whole, in the light of the obvious appreciation which was sent up from the audience. By the middle of the second act, the audience was rocking with laughter, and not a few were heard humming with the orchestra and chorus “I'm a Little Fonder of You Than I_Am of Myself—I Am” and “Nothing But the Truth.” “Yvette” is unique in that its plot would carry it over the footlights with 1 little support from the cast. It is a story of a salesman who wagers a large sum, intrusted him by his flancee to invest, on his conviction that he could tell the trith, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, for a period of five hours and answer any and all questions. Those who saw performances of the Frederic S. Isham play will recall the predicaments the brash youth got himself into. The play lends itself admirably to musical comedy, as the work of the| chorus and the specialities do not in- terrupt the train of the story. Jean- ette MacDonald, carrying the leading Out!
