The Evenin ‘World Daily Mays zine Tuesd November 28 1911 “Take My Advice” Not the Best BY CHARLES DOARNTON. ILLIE COLLIER ts everythmg but his own tailor. If he only knew the W art of cutting the clothes that cut such a big figure in his plays it would be the easiest thing in the world for him to establish bimself @s the whole dramatic department store, It may be making @ small point to say that Mr, Collier overdreased the part he played at the Fulton Theatre Jast night, but to overlook it would be shutting one's eyes to the obvious. A country place in Calfornia doesn’t call for the extravagant fashions of Broadway. Yet the faultless Willle was evi- dently determined to show wu of yore, how to be “stylish” though humorous. Hig waistcoats, for examplg, could not be discouraged, They flourished through Shae Live Cnneateo Runt | Same FUNNY LITTLE PleFAceO ‘SHRP THAT Bacx tH THEM HAPPY. OLD BOYHOOD -OAYS~ HALHA! HAL three acts. ‘The outlying mountains couldn't frown ‘em down. “Take My Advice” seemed like @ sartorial hint to the far Wea They changed the furniture in the play ‘Without stopping to think, apparently, that It might be a good idea to change the play. From a “junk shop” in the| firat act the room in which Mr, Collter moved and had his tatlored being be- came workshop in the last. “Ans tiques” collected at great expense to William Ogden, who was none other than Wille, of course, were finally put aside to make room for an iron safe, ® cash register that “rang up” the checks received by the president of the lemon company, and other bric-a-bri of businessiike character. The thrif- ty “Professor” who had furnished the first act with rare, underdone things at a handsome profit to himself was compelled to take back his gold Chinese idol when Willie discovered that he had paid something like a thousand dollars more than the New York market prige for it. After that Willie refused to take this old fraud's advice on any- thing. He also refused to take the "William Collier as William Ogden “Mterprising gentleman's unhealthy daughter. He wanted Paula, who w Paula Marr, and as we all knew her to be Mrs, Willfe in real life this seemed & proper and chaste arrangement, That was about the size of the plot. Tt might easily have been pat into the vase where Willte kept the key of the whiskey closet. ‘To begin with, it was just small talk, and it didn't grow any larger with experience. In fact, it wae the) most ingrowing plot that has been seen in many a day. It didn’t develop a little bit. The only thing to do was to forget 4t and try to remember the bright things Willie was saying. ‘I have that three-thousand-mile-away-from-New- York feeling,” said some one. “But you can have that in Brooklyn,” he rejoined. And 60 it went. Mr. Collier had @ great many funny things to eay, and he sald them in that extra-dry manner that always gives a characteristic flavor to hig utterances. As usual, too, no word could be uttered without its being Played upon. It was a waste of type for the programme to remind us that Mr. Colter had joined with James Mont- gomery in writing the farce, A blind man could see Coftier all, through It. But I couldn't for the life of me see why the ¢° "ors hadn't made more of a play of “Take My Advice," especially a play that tempted fate with a dis- play of lemons in the end. After it had been squeezed dry “Take My Ad- vice” couldn't pos: y be accepted as the best that Collier has offered. Helena Collier Garick found consid- erable nourishment in the natural part } CouLd Come \Yo YouR OPFICE of Willle’s sister, She ate sandwiches and other 4rifles with t.c recklessness of @ woman who not stop to welgh the consequences, If she con- tinues in the part for any length of time she will undoubtedly become a great actress. Meanwhile it should be said that her acting was as good 2 hee appetite. Mis# Marr kept the gentle heroine in the family rather prettily, while Master Collier came In vords that he shot out Pegs was vers ammunttion for the ling he carried. Miss Dorothy Unger was appropriately sour as the human lemon Willie wouldn't take, and Charles Dow Clark played her hopeful parent with discretion, | Tut in epite of the good work in which Mr. Collier led with his never-failing cleverness, “Take My Advice’ remained a poor play.
