New PI! “A Gentleman of Leisure’ Owes All to Fairbanks. BY CHARLES DARNTON. HBRE'6 this to be said of the burglar-proof play: Any one will wit up to Watch a thief. Even the most comfortable bed in the world loses its at- traction when a stealthy tread is heard in the night or a mysterious ight) flashes into dark corners. Sleep 1s out of the question, The playwright knows this Ltd Profite by the knowledge. He te sure at Weast of keeping his eudience awake, There rhould be, however, a limit to this sort of thing. ‘be the limit. There were four at the Playhouse ast aight in the somewhat idle interests of “A Gentleman of Lelsure.” Though evidently opposed to oloodshed, the authors of the play, John Stapleton and P. G, Wodehouse, seemed intent upon Killing a great deal of time. Perhaps Mr, Stapleton looked after the Durglary department while Mr. Wodehouse busied himself with the sentimental trimmings. Anyhow, you could almost see where the night shift knocked off and the day shift went on. A Sherlock Holmes might have anid the play was the work of amateurs. But much of it was amusing. While the authors had their reckless young hero iay @ wager of a dinner to his friends that he could rob a house and “get away with it.” Douglas Fairbanks Was the one best bet of the night. Little by Iittle he has learned how to act. He has polished the plain gall that he first brought to the stage until now it presents @ smooth ond attractive surface, Ease has come to him along with an amiable Ne 7 moog assurance that cannot Three acts ought to turn up his evening trousers in token of his everlasting — doyish- ness, but he can at last stand on his own legs as a comedian who ts In a very fair way to give Willle Collier a run for his popularity. On the score of phy- sical prowens aloneMr, Fairbanks 1s easly the lightweight cham- pion of the stage. He proved thie Iast night when as young Pitt real burglar who en- tered his rooms and finally put him down and out. Bven a “dark scene" couldn't hide the fact that it was a fair fight and @ good one. Mr, Fatr- banks rose to the top- most height of his pe- cullar art when he raised “Spike” above _ his head and then alammed him down on tue floor with a most convinoing slam. An actor must be born for this sort of thing; it fsn’t taught in our polite dramatic scnools, There was another dim scene when Pitt and “Spike” went ourgling together and Mollie Creedon, true daughter of “Big Phil," deputy police commisstoner, Pulled a gun on them and made them throw up their hands. The fair—and almost fat—heroine had no trouble in controlling the situation in her Riverside Drive home. And Pitt the man who had won her first-class heart while he was travelling second-class on the Lusitania. They had a nice little chat about {t while he held up hie hands and assured her that he wasn't a regular burglar. They might have been talking there yet if her oting father hadn't happened in and recognized “Spike” as a prominent yeggman, “Spike,” quite naturally, was somewhat embarrassed to find himeelf part of the social life of Riverside Drive. The only way out of t was to introduce Pitt to “Big Phil” as a society burglar from London who moved in the highest circies, Pitt, you see, had been obliged to crack himself up » bt betore “Spike” would fonsent to associate with him professtonally, In the third act “Spike” swiped a pearl necklace at @ country house where Pitt was making a record as a tennis player, but Pitt took {t away from him @nd through Mollle had tt returned to Lady Blunt, who was rather fussy about it In this Incident there was a touch of Raffles, without the subnme allver-haired pathos of Raffles, By way of anticipating discerning criticism there were also t@fterences to Arsene Lupin and Jimmie Valentine, Miss Ruth Shepley, as Mollie, acted as though she were looking for a burglar the moment she came on, but later on she acted a Ittle better. Elmer Booth was a fairly good “Spike and George Fawcett such a devoted father that he declared with deep emotion he would have to stop being a grafter. “A Gentleman of Letsure" really owed everything to Fairbanks. In » word— the word he to use so much—he was “corking.”” Foot Cut Off on Death Avenue.
