} { \ The New Plays ae BY CHARLES DARNTON. FTER all, the atmosphere of a play like "Trelawney of the Wells" is A breath of life to those who love the theatre for itself alone. For ‘thing, there's no gasolene in it. And this must be the beginning and end of any crittciwm of the “revival” at the Empire Theatre, Charles Frohman may “star Miss Ethel Barrymore for all he thinks she | is worth in the box-office, but I feel quite sure that Miss Barrymore doesn't | rate herself above the play that Pinero wrote in the tender interests of actors | rather than in the sordid interests of managers. If there is any doubt of thi let the long trains of the early sixties sweep away all possible argument | No man living under 1911 conditions can deny that Miss Barrymore seems | a rather modern Rose, but I defy any knight of the midnight oll or she morning Pencil to suggest a more perfect Rose, no matter how full-blown, than Ethel Barrymore. The dew may have fallen months ago, the sparkle may be miss- ing, but the flower of Pinero's poetry is there, warmed by the womanly radiance of @n actress who has the charm to sweep a willing public to her feet. It only remains for Miss Barrymore to shake out her plumes and exert that charm to the utmost If any fault in to be found with the performance, it must rest with Miss Barrymore's leaning toward domesticity rather than toward the freedom of the art that the theatre places above all things. ‘The lighter side of life behind the foot- lights is dropped too quickly, —per- haps, by her for the heavier side of life in Cavendish Square, But all of st glows with the warmth of woman- ly feeling “Trelawny” Still Breathes Air in Which There Is No Gasolene. the one | the ‘The ‘star’ part of the croceedings is a matter that vests between Mr. Frohman and his god of the theatre dono under the o! cumstances that ex- ist to~ As for tie rest of the cast, Charles Dalton comes to the front as a surprise in the role of Tom Wrench, It is here, more than any- where else, that the unexpected h a p- pens, From the first Mr, Dalton strikes a human note in the unselfish playwright that endures to the last. He gives a performance that reduces flesh to sympathy and that speaks for itself in Pinero’s own Janguage.

Choose them Decause of their hearts and characters. I wonder how many young men there are who are just foolish h to take a girl to the theatre or to parties Decause she hae pretty dresses to wear. To be sure, it ts y nice to have attractive clothes, and if a sweet, well- bred girl happens to be fortunate enough to be able to gown herself well—so much the better.
