He is usually so light-hearted and friendly that every theater-goer wishes him success and will be grieved to hear that In the preoccupation of writing his latest play he apparently siipped and fell against same hard substance just as he was concluding the first act, and the re- sulting concussion led to such a confusion of ideas that the play which had begun so brightly at once lasped into a rather flighty tract on socialism. The play Is called “The Alabaster Stair- ease” and starts out to tell the story of a British Prime Minister of the present day. The Premier is a crusted oid Tory, who looks out for the interests of his | class and thinks the sufferings of the | poor a necessary evil. He is rich, and his crowning luxury has been to put into his | mansion a 360,000 alabaster staircase, de- | spite the urgings of his philanthropic | daughter that the money would have been | better spent in ifmproving the cottages of | his tenants. He is delightsd when his daughter is at last urged and cajoled into consenting to marry the brainless Duke | of Ranelagh, who doesn't want her and | does. want a certain musid hall heroine. The Prime Minister being John Hare, one of the most finished and satisfying actors of our gemeration, and the other characters being fairly well drawn and | entertaining and the dialogue being full | of brightness, the audience sits up, com- fortably expeectant. Then the playwright, dramatizing what we are supposing must have happened to himself, causes the Premier to slip while descending that | precious alabaster staircase of his and | have a concussion of the brain. When | he recovers he finds himself in sympathy | with the poor, convinced that government | by parties is an abomination, that wealth | ought to be more evenly distributed, and | all that sort of thing. | No onme would object if it resulted in | dramatic action and conflict, but it re- | sults only in talk, and not all of it bright. The daugitter's thin little love story is { hurried to a happy decision to marry | another than the Duke and the Prime Minister summons the Cabinet and after | a long speech on the inadequacy of the | present political machinery to popular | necds, tells them that he resigns. The Cabinet members look mildly interested, | the Premier walks out and the curtain | comes down. The audience looks on its | programme to see if the next act does | not promise some striking outcome and gradually discovers to Its amazement that | the play is over. ! At the first performance at the Comedy Theater on Wednesday night most of the audience sat still for a minute or two | after the final curtain, quite unaware that the play was over. One can only suppose that the play was sold to Charles Frohman after that un- usually astute manager had scen only the first act. GOODWIN SCORES AT LAST. Nat Goodwin stood before the curtain at the Shaftesbury the other night and bowed and bowed again in acknowleds- ment of the hearty applause that re- warded his acting in “An American Citi- zen.”. Then he made a little speech in which he said that he was sorry Lom- doners had not liked his first offering, “The Gilded Fool,” but that he judged from their expressions of approval that he had now pleased them and hoped for a successful season in England. It is .kely that Goodwin's hopes will be realized, too, for there was no doubt that his audience was thoroughly amused. But, of course, “An American Citizen’ is not mew to London, for Goodwin has used it here In an emergeucy once bé- fore at the Duxe of York's, four years ago, when as dire a fate overtook Clyde PFitch's “Cowboy and the Lady” as that which recently befell Goodwin’s old stand- by across the water, “The Gilded Fool London found ‘that play hopelessly old- fashioned and stagey, just as it probably would be veted in America If produced as something new instead of as an old fa- vorite, and “turned it down” so decisive- 1y that Goodwin withdrew it at the end of the first week. Previous to its pro- duction here the piece had been “An- glicized,” which ome thinks was a mis- take. Britishers like an American flavor, as the success of “The Dictator,” “The Belle of New Yor! ‘Arizona’ and other pleces has amply proved. Meanwhile Nat Goodwin tells me that he is determined to hgve a run for his money in London this time anyway,, In other words he means to stay mulr he scores a real success, and if, all indica- tions to the contrary notwithstanding, “An American Citizen” fails to draw, he means to produce some other plece from his repertoire, and so ad infinitum, or until he succeeds in finding a winner. And every one will wish him luck, of which he has not had a superfluity in London. True, it has been partially a matter of Indifferent plays—“The Cow- ahead, but the playgoers in America who have enjoyed “Veronique,” “The Duchess of i g i*il ot i ¢ i i i i I | B ® | 1 i 1
