Al- though it is a play that demands much study on the part of the players in or- der to properly interpret their re- spective parts, the Cormican Plavers did exceptionally well and but little improvement can be made on their first night’s performance. “Common Clay” is a ot the sex problem play and a play dealing wwith the existing social prob- lems of the day. The story is written around twa@ principal characters, Kl- len Neal, a habitue of one of the low dance halls &f a great city, and Judge Filson, one of the biggést men, social- 1y and politically, in the city. Ellen Neal, young, Beautiful, somewhat tal- ented and very ambitious, permits herself at the ‘u‘ge of 18 to be dazzled by the bright flights until, at the hands of one of the city’s most prom- inent families, $he take the wrong road. Realizing *her mis step, she es- says to td the right road and to bette 1;"1»0 ways of society she e Flon as maid in the home of Ric rd, Fullerton, a wealthy social leader. Hegre she meets the man who hefr fall and he, rebuffed by tells I'Hu;:h Fullerton, son of her cemploysyr s the story of her past. This Young mian, weak and prone to satis- fy his eVery -desire, makes advances to the 'v‘n\ and she, admitting that she likes 1 very much and becoming | dis ~mlrdge‘0’ with the improbability of her ever be@®ming anything other than what sh® is, throws discretion to the winds and\ as the curtain to the first act drops:she says: “What’s the LIS ) The second act opens with Fullerton’s l‘athqr, in a frenzy of de- spair, calling upon Judge Filson, the family lawyer, w lwrc he explains that Ellen Neal, a fommer servant, claims that his son is the'father of her child. The wealthy societiy parent is anxious to do anything in prder to shield the name of his son. ¥t is here that the really strong character of Judge IMil- son shows itself and he takes the side of the downtrodden, defending them to the irate parent., To better illus- trate his point he tells the story of his own past, how he,/a young man, fell in love with a girl of the streets, of- fered to marry her. and lost her when she, about to beccme a mother out of wedlock, pens hign a short note say- ing that she would e but a drawback to him in life if she® married him, and commits suicide. ';‘hm story fails to stir the emotions off Fullerton senior and eventually Judgle Filson essavs the fask of making a séttlement with 1 len Neal, mother offi Hugh Iullerton son. The :ntrance $f other characters throughout the play lends to it a necessary amount of® humor, comedy and pathos, which i well balanced and most cnjovable. 3n the final act, the trial, Judge Filson'learns that I1- len Neal is in reality BAs own daugh- fer, whom he did not ‘know had ever been boin.

Yates, a shyster lawyer, has another .ur. that is indispensable to the suc- cess of the play as it provides the nec- essary element of comedy. As the third rate lawyer, Mr. Alderson takes a trying part in a finished way and has added another to his already growing string of character impersonation successes in this city, Among the fe- male characters Mrs. Mina Gleason has one of the most difficult roles. While she appears in but one act, Mrs. Gleason, as the supposed mother and then as the proved guardian of Illlen Neal, is given a great opportunity for character work and e takes the role of the simple, God-fearing woman of the working class in a most excellent manner. Particularly touching is her acting while on the witness stand, tes tifying to the character of the girl, and in the final expos2 when she tells the story which shows Judge Filson to be the father of the girl, she handles a delicate part in a most genuine manner. Other parts are taken by W. B. Short, a butler; Henry Freece, as Judge Atkins; Irving Wise, a court clerk; Virginia Zollman, as Mrs. Ful- lerton; Josephine Saxe, as Ann, her daughter, and Howard Wesehe, a clerk. Although touched work of Miss Fthel Van Waldron, as Ellen Neal, should rank first among the leading members of the cast. This week Miss Van Waldron has her most difficult part thus far but she handles it in real fashion and never once does she fall into the too melodramatic habits of the usual stock company player. As the simple girl, the skeptical woman who wants live and be happy, as the motiher, fighting for her son, as the exhausted and half (e} 2d accusor in the police court and finally, the weary young mother, upon last, the as to | who finally learns her real identity and finds a father and protector in the person of the great judge she gives a demonstration of acting that cannot be bettered. The applause that greeted her efforts show that the usual criti- cal audience was pleased with her work. “Commoii Cl is the best that Cormican Players have produced and will doubtless be patronized by capacity houses during the remainder of the week. Corcerning this play the author, Cleves Kinkead, has the fol- lowing to say: ““The theme of ‘Common Clay’ came to me when I was about five vears old,” said Cleves Kinkead, the author. ‘I used to lie in my bed on cold winter mornings when the maid servant came in to build the firgs and wondered why she didn't seem to mind the cold, or if she did why it was that she had to build the fire and I could lie under warm cover and pity her.” The better to may be mentioned theme is the social world. The lesson in this play is that given the same chance there is little difference between us—that under the skin we all are the same “Common Clay: “Common Clay” is Mr. Kinkead’s first contribution to the stage and it is ting to note that his second ‘The Mood of the Moon,” will be produced very shortly on Broad- way by A.
