Winthrop Ames, George Arliss and Peggy Wood have joined their talents in | a delightful production that attests once | | more the immortality of the bard of | Avon. | Down through the ages scores of |actors, some of them famous. some of | them forgot before they were known, | have given their conceptions of Shylock. Many of them have differed. but the character that lives today has become synonymous with hate and greed and | | servile meanness. Some have chosen to | accentuate n Shylock the cunning and | miserly money lender whose heart is | divided between his daughter and | ducats, whose spirit breaks when I | consuming desite for vengeance is e | tinguished by Portia’s bucket of cold | | water. | medieval imagination by emphasizing [the tragedy of his wrongs. Mr. Arliss' | interpretation of the character is prob- | ablv orthodox. He makes of Shylock the man more | | smned against than sinning. But he | | gives to Shylock a dignity that makes | I his thirst for revenge almost noble. He | loses his daughter and his ducats, but | he carries away with him a spirit that remains unbroken. When he falls in court at the feet of Antonio he is crushed by the weight of his sorrow. his spirit is bent under the burden, but it, | does not snap. He lost in his day at | court. but the day following would still find him seeking his pound of flesh. Peggy Wood has been endowed by nature with adequate requisites for the {'part of Portia, and she loses none of them in male attire in court. If her | voice trembles and she fails to thunder, it is all the more to her credit. Portia won her case. but it has always re- mained doubtful whether the cold logic of the law or the warm charm of Portia should be credited with the victory. As a lawyer she won because Shylock's case was so wretchedly prepared.

The authors. Howard Lindsay and Bertrand Robinson, have produced & masterpiece. They have contrived to take a typical problem in a typical small town home and make of it on~ of the most amusing comedies of re- cent years. The humor is largely in situations and _suggestions that jog your memory. Sometimes it is subtle, sometimes obvious, but never blatant. The story revolves about Marie Thur- who is deeply in love with Tommy Mills, prospective heir to the First National Bank, who loves Maric. Marie's par- ents, touched by the little attentions Tommy pays them. and with an eye cocked toward the bank ownership, are anxious that Marie and Tommy should | marry, In their anxicty they overdo | the matter, and by their insistence stir | Marie's spunk until she refuses to con- | Others have sought to temper Sider an engagement to Tommy and | has been shown in the Capital this { the harshness of the monstrous Jew of | frns foward a breezy automobile sales- | soason, man.

A natural antipathy | toward Bernard adds much zest to the | situations created by David, and as | Bernard walks into his traps the glee | of the audience is unbounded. A better-chosen cast could hardly be asked than has been assembled by the authors, who staged the comedy them- seives. Sidney Toler. in the role of David, dominates the piece and gives a finely restrained portrayal of the boss | who ' is not above a lic now and then | when it will do the most good. but who has the saving grace of adopting Lin- coln as his ideal. an ideal he does not even approach, but which gives him, at least. a kindly nature. | William Janney. in the role of Tom- | my. appears the lovesick but tongue- tied and awkward boy just shy of 20.

POLI'S—"“Good Net Brimful of collegiate pep. humor and romance, “Good News" breezed into town yesterday and hit a startled audi- ence at Poli's with the snappiest as- sortment of musical comedy tricks that As they say in prize fight ecircles, “'Good News' had everything.” There was the foot ball star on the verge of a big game with a flunk in astronomy staring him in the face, which would prevent him playing: the wise co-ed, who relieved the boys of their bank- roll in a little game of dice: the sub- stitute gridiron warrior, who waited two years for a place in the line-up and then won the game in the final minute of play: and last, but not least, three or four hectic love affairs which bacome extremely serambled during the swiftly moving action, only to reach the usual happy climax. And “Good News” is swift. It was| apparent at the rise of the curtain | that this was no ordinary affair, but | few could have forecast the amazing | rush and tumble of animal spirits that | coursed through the succeeding acts, | with their typical and colorful scenes. | Aided and abetted by George Olsen's jazz_fiends, under the athletic direction of Harry Neiman, principals and chorus | turned loose an avalanche of redhot FLORIST Flowers : fi%" - Festivities Q brighten Gude's may up the with Flowers, ny unique and artistic effects ne T ? s Day BROS.

It appeared that Laurence Schwah, B. G. De Sylva and Ray Henderson, au- thors of the show, had visited all the Jazz palaces in sight and then decided to do something entirely different. The dances, especlally the chorus numbers, were new, the songs were new and the seenery and costumes were fresh and artistic. They blended with the story, or half dozen stories, which supplied plenty of iInspiration for the rapid- paced spectacle. Don Lanning as Tom Marlowe, cap- tain of the foot ball team at Tait Col- lege, shared the leading roles with Dolores Farris, in the part of Constance Lane. Both were clever, but other fig- ures in the well balanced cast were equally worthy of highest mention. William Wayne as Bobby Randall, the foot ball substitute, and his snappy little partner, Marie Callahan, as Babe O'Day, a sophomore, contributed a largs share of the fun and dancing. Claude Stroud, playing the role of Sylvester, a freshman, offered a solo dance which stopped the show. “Pooch” Kearney, the trainer, was 7 | ably presented by Frank McCormick. | The wise cracks of “Pooch™ were full of | sure-fire cAmpus humor. | Mildred Costello was a typical col- | lege belle.
