n . ‘\ oun a -a&venin ar | EY CHARLES OARNTON. : NY lady who decides to take a horseback ride through the town wearing only a rapt look, even during’the changing styles of Horse Show week, is more than lkely to have something to aay about it. There could be no doult of this at Daly’s last night, If the Lady Godiva of Louis N. Parker's play didn’t ride out into the full glare of the footlights an& make Peeping Toms, Dicks and Harrys of us all, she certainly talked faster than a horse can trot. It was a lucky thing for Miss Viola Allen that her voice was in good running order, for “The Lady of Coventry” gave hes.so much to @ay that even a slight cold would have been a serious handicap. ‘The play gave Miss Allen little opportunity to do anything but talk. The auther was never at a loss for words. Even when Leofric’s men were beating dowr Lady Dorothea’s door they kindly suspended operations to give her time for » (ong, hizh-sounding speech. It was apparent by this time that the familiar | legen been changed to suit the purposes of “a new love romance." Leofric, when door was finally flung open, did not appear as the husband of Godiva, pretty to Dorothea in the further interests of “romance. A mete husdand suszesting that his wife take a breezy Ittle ride to save the people from sarvation wouldn't have carried the play beyond the celebrated ride, The only hing to do under the circumstances was to have the fierce Saxon chiét simply tumbie into love with the haughty Norman countess. This was done as quickly as the long speeches would permit, and Leofric’s rough sense of huntor no sgoner led him into swearing to spare the town if through it unclad at high noon than the lady took him at his word. ‘And there we were! At least we could imagine we were, A great deal necessarily depends upon the tmagination in a Lady Godiva play, Every lttle bit helps to make this situation interesting. Just what Miss Allen would do remained to be seen, Of course she couldn't show us the “great moment” of Godiva's life as we shyly think of 1t,.bu-she did show ua two very fair armst’ and a white shoulder over which her purple cloak had no control. Thea she went out to look up a horse, and a moment later the bell announced that she was off, Leofric was the only one who took a look. He turned Peeping Tom Decause he thought Godiva hated the sight of him, Then he insisted upon having his eves put out, but as the fourth act was now under way and a :happy ending almost due, Dorothea wouldn't listen to such a.thing. She tojd him to look into her eyes and tell her what he saw there, And before she could gay another word she Was in his arms! Miss Allen had, said so much that she must have felt in need of a good night’s rest. Except for stilted declamations there wag little ror her to ao, and this little she did in a thoroughly “romantic” way. Her poses were more beau- tiful than the lines she was required to speak, Henry Kolker was a hopelessly sad and tame Saxon chieftain, To be sure, Leofric the Wolf becomes a whim- pering, spiritless creature in Mr. karker’s play, yet Mr, Kolker might have put more force into the character In the first act at least. Ho looked well, except when he executed a funny little catch-step, but he read his lines so badly that ft was ofien a trial to listen to him. Vincent Sternroyd did good work as Cyinen, the bailiff, and Miss Jane Ferre! was the prettiest and cleverest of the maids. “Tne Lady of Coventry” was clothed in unusually fine scenery.
