New Pl “Noah's Flood” and “‘Nice Wanton’’ Still Quite 1911. BY CHARLES DARNTON. (HOSE who came to yawn at the New Theatre yesterday afternoon remained te laugh. That was the experience of an audience that bore.all the out- Ward and visible signs of yearning to be “improved,” only to meet with the agreeable surprise of finding that mysteries and moralities can be funnier they read. After Prof. Brander Matthews had conscientiously le up to “the @f the English dram: Sidfoulous, passing as it did from the solemn commands of Between Noah and his wife that ended in elap-stick comedy (@ueh. In fact, the whole performance Wes quite up to Ill in m We live to learn how old we are! real trouble began when Noah ordered hw wife into the stay outside and chat with the @pparently thought it would way as easily as picture post ffragette She had @ mind of that our antediluvian parents tems Court. It remained for the big stick to ‘Wielied by Louis Calvert it fell with dull thuds ‘Mr. Gottschalk displayed his modern method of clowning, toget! fegs that scorned criticism. Mr, Calvert was earnest and effective as appeared to be a born disciplinarian. But he was not wanting in @ense of humor when the time came for setting free the anzious dove that was et for the olive branch. A saucy-looking angel, with Christmas card wings, was the “property man,” who was not above turning out @ barrelful of stage thunder | when the storm broke. You may talk about howling melodrama as naive~but not after secing "Noah's Wife!” The verse was as funny as that found in @ comic valentine, and the audience “in front” had a much better time than the one on the stage, wi Geted as though people in the middie ages went to the theatre—ee it existed in these daye—quite as solemnly as they went to church, The second play, “The Nice Wanton,” showed that even in the sixteenth cen- tary, the education of the young troubled serious minds, This morality had for (te text, “Bpare the rod and spoil the child,” and the children of Xantippe ate illustrate it. As this good dame, Ceoll Yapp was funny even when he swas oad. A large audience passed a pleasant afternoon. With no apologies te Barnum & Batley, the performance was as good as « circus, Love and Presents, Y dear young man, if @ really nice, sweet girl loves M you, you may be sure she has not given you her affections because of the number of times you have taken her to the theatre or because of the boxes of candy you have brought her.
