‘The Evening W Sa eTaAT | ‘Toymaker of Nuremberg’ Turns a Toy Play. © 1O break “The Toymaker of Nuremberg” on the critical wheel would be like using a sledgehammer on a blue-eydéd doll that says “Ma-ma" and’'Pa-pa” with mechanical sweetness, yet the gentlest blow that the typewriter can strike is to say that the trifle which Austin “Btrong brought to the Garrick last night is merely a toy play that playa ‘with toy emotions. ‘The expectant audience took its first peep Into the toymaker’s #hop with al- Most childish interest and pleasure, but as the acts lengthened into three and the! tittle atory showed an almust Peter-Pannish determination not to grow up, you égrew a dit tired of the Intest theatrical toy.

This amlable,.unworldly eccentric, writh a chilé/s heart and a ohild's head, was deliifatfully portrayed by Mr, Fer @eson In the earlier part of the play, especially in a pretty ecene with three little ‘gaildron,who ventured into the’shop to’ se¢ how dolls were born And then a Iittie tragedy came prowling tothe door in the form of the Teddy @ear trom Kansas City, America.
