FOR THE LOVE OF Peve’ WHAT Now l6oTtTa JoB FOR You AN ME TO Go ON THE Ho PoP “The New Sin” a Gripping Play Finely Acted, EY CHARLES DARNTON. NYONE who is capable of thinking sertously for two houre and a halt A must of necessity find a great deal to interest him tn “The New Sin,” the English play by B. MacDonuld Hastings that was acted—and fuely acted—et Wallack’s last night. Both the play and the audience were produved by Manuger George C. Tyler, who felt that for once regular frst-nighte! ahould be cast into outer darkness as dense as their suppused understanding. Just what that audience may do for the play tn the long run that it deserves Femains to be seen when tho returns, in the form of written opinions of It, are all in, What it did last night was nearly to ruin the frst act by stringing 1a up to 9 o'clock. Even after that Il was so restive as to distract attention from | the performa: Say what you will of confirmed frst-nighters, they have | Mgarned to sit still and to keep atill, That they were not among those present Was proved by the general coughing, whispering and rustling of programmes, The play could not have been put to a greater test, and the fuct that it tris Umphed over these conditions was sufficient evidence of Its power. @ strong human quality makes “The New Sin” There is not another play in New York with so Gens np parsers “Uene generally may not go to see It because it 1s @ play without @ woman {9 all for the seven characters re 80 splendidly acted by the carefully picked men of the cast that the ao- sence of “feminine interest” isn't noticed. The play stands in greatest danger through becoming discursive ant argumentative when it should be dre | matic. To add to this danger, the tnct- cental topics are, in the ature of things, so essentially English a to be of remote interest. The characters, especially the minor ones, seem alway ready to discuss anything and every. thing. If Mr. ‘Tyler has a blue pencil tn his pocket he should take it out and put It to work at ond Now that the author has sailed for @wme, there's a0 one to hinder him, Meanwhile the title of the play may be relied upon to keep people guessing Nothing could be more attractive than a new sin. To invent one would In itself | be a work of genius Mr. Hastings may be considered a budding gentus, for be still has a great deal to learn about the stage. The sin that he finds Cyril Keigntiey as Hilary Cutts, new ts that old one of self-sacritice— | going without yourself in order to give to others. This sin, however, has the virtue of being inherently human, and Mr Hastings's play therefore has a big| human appeal. Moreover, the idea of a man’s being willing to kill himself «o that his brothers and sisters muy come into @ fortune haw the fascination of novelty, But the oddest thing about Hilary Cutts 1s that he should be the only one of twelve children who ts worth his salt. In dying, his wealthy father not only cut bim off without a penny, but left a will that makes it Impossible for the other children to get a cent go long as Hilary lives. And all the time Hilary's brothers and sisters are making life miserable for him by writing im tales of their woe. The author is really a bit too generous in piling on| agony. It seems remarkable that eleven members of the same family | 1d all be “failures” and on the verge of starvation Under the elrcum- nees {t 1s not surprising that Hilary, in spite'cf the fact that he 13 getting long very well as a painter, should decide to kill himself, He reaches this decision calmly and sensibly without any herotcs, and Ike the good fellow he is talks it over with his friends, Jim Benziger, a play. wright, and Will Grain, a 1 mber of Parliament. The M.
