Seen at Parsons’ Theater e (By The Herald Reviewer). Rachel Crothers has again added to her laurels as a playwright in “Mary The 3rd,” which was presented for the second time on any stage at Par- sons' theater in iartford last even- ing by a capable group of performers and in a satisfactory manner. The story of the play is not impos- sible but is improbable. Mary is the daughter of a supposedly happy mar- ried couple and is at the reckless age of 20 years when girls hesitate to take advice given them by their elders, put want to find things out for them- gelves. At any rate Mary does not believe in marrying the first man wha which one she really loves she thinks of a rather desperate schemo to have three boys and three girls go on a lcamping teip to the woods for two weeks without chaperons and live {alone. She is to put the boys to & | test and find eut ‘which one she really loves, by Of course the idea does not please mother or grandmother, especially | grandmother. Mary agrees in her | mother, however, and does not go | through with her plans but returns to her home at an early hour in the morning. Meanti father had been told by grandmotfer all about the proposed escapade, and as a result has a quarrel with mother. Mary returns to her heme only to | find* her brothér waiting for her.to {warn his sister that father is angry. | Mother and father are heard eoming | down the stairs to sce if Mary and | Bobby are in. | What happens after this would | spoil the play for those who want to | see it if it is told. The play opens with a short pro- logue dating back to the days of Mary the first in 1870, Tt was a most iunusunl opening with Louise Huff as | Mary the first dressed in an attractive | sown of that period, seated on a sofa | under the hall stairs waiting for her | lovers to enter. 1 Miss Huff was charmiog through- out the ontire play, and at no time | did she allow herself to leave the | character she was portraying. She | was exceptionally true to life in her {role of the modern 1923 gir] of 20, May Gaityar as the grandmother was perfectly adorable, and with her | sweet face, pleasing personality and agreeable nature brought tears to the | eves of many during her dramatic | moments, but with her witty sayings, | her snappy answers and unusual af- | flictions turned the fables and brought forth much laughter and rounds of applause from the audience in other scenes. Morgan Tarley was exceptionally pleasing as Bobby, the son of the wealthy family. He was always the wide-awake, alert and spendthrift | ‘| type of boy, but always willing to help his sister in her difficufties and to ghare his mother's sorrows with her. Only favorable mention can be made of all appearing ingthe play. Reatrice Terry was thoroughly con- vineing as the mother and looked like Miss Huff to take the part. George Howard, as the father, was good. Ben Lyon as *}mn and mphrey Begart as the two lovers f Mary were cach goed in their re- speetive roles. * THE GREATEST ‘| the instrumentality of Tox's theater, proposes to her, and just to find out = = == AT iges wliernise dndicuted, \erittan hy the press ge \J ON PAVIES AT PALACK + Cosmopolitan's big preduction “When Knilghtheod Was In Flower," now at the Palace all this week, i stilWdrawing capacity audiences, The palace presentation in featured by a | musical seore by @ ten plece sym- phony orchestra and at no advance In prices, The matinee performance s at 2:30 and there are two evening shows at 6:30 and §:30, Fhakespear's line in Remeo and Juliet—"Ha jests at scars that ne'er felt & wound,” often prompts inex- perienced persons to sneer at motion pleture sword play, Dut the scars that expert swordsmen sustaiped dur- ing*the filming of sword duel scenes in Cosmopolitan's big, spectacular production of “When Knighthow® Was in Flower,” amply prove that oven these make-believe duels often are not bloodless, During the film- Ing of these scenes u KUrgeon Wis kept in constant attendance ut the Cosmopolitan studle, and split thumbs and lacerated hands were treaten nearly every day.
