Grace George Makes “‘Just to ») | ane Married” — musingly Human BY CHARLES DARNTON. takes @ woman of cour to desin the new year with a red nose. That's what Miss Grace George did at Maxine Elliott's Theatre yesterday afternoon when ehe let her tears fall like the rain in the last act of “Just to Get Married. This play by a woman {ts for women first, Inst and all the time, It ts feminine foathers—feathere that droop and drip when the weather's against ‘em, No man can wade through it without turning up his mental trousers and planting himself doggedly upon a sentimental footing with Miss Cecily Hamilton, — whose pen teaks with sympathy for her “useless” sisters, Miss Hamilton, you may remember, wrote a marketable volume on “Marriage as a Trade” and also a Maggie Pepper-y sort of English play about department store workers Sho {8 evidently a Iiterary auffragette, but in this case her only argument—if it may be called an argument—ts that a poor but pretty girl may be brought up by her hopeful relatives to be good for nothing except just to get married. There {s nothing in, {t to fill good- looking young wom: longing to work for @ living, since the play shows how ridiculously easy {t is for “Emmy” Vicary to pick up a good money-lnden husband and live Iazily ever after. Now, practical in her attitude toward a role. Ghe always goes to work with a will Sho seems determined to do or die. And it was in this spirft that sho tackled the job on hand yesterday af- ternoon, At first she seemed rather new to the work, a bit stiff and seif- conscious, But it was not long before Emmeline Vicary. che succeeded in making “Emmy” 80 amusingly human that the house was with her heart and hand. She drew out her backward lover, Adam Lankester, wish such skill, she hooked her man #0 easily, that it eecmed a shame to take the money. And then when her conscience smote her, when it hit her so hard that she threw up her winning hand and took a few hard knocks fromsAdps, there was a bit of acting that brought out the Bandkerchtefs. < ‘Mise George may well congratyjate herself upon this achievement. Her trump eegG was tears, and she won—in' com- ody. "Caustic comedy” it wis called, wet there was no stinging, no smarting fa the way it wae treated by this skil- fd eomedienne. By the most simple ethed in the world, by revealing the veal woman behind the tricketer, she eameed the eurprised audience to draw im tts emtle and hold out its sympathy. ™ banding Adam the sour apple she gave the best proof of her ripening art. R wee merely a matter of smiles and tears when she got to the railway sta- tien wet and bedraggied to find Adam there, A woman may change her mind, if met her dress, and elip into a man's ulster without stopping to think about {t, for she's eure to cut a funny figure worth {ts weight in laughter, But Miss George, though looking Ike @ hopeful goarecrow in the end, remained @ woman with @ good heart and a very decent sort of brain. And she seemed very glad to wet the man who w waiting for the same train thet she hed decided to take to London.
