Now You Be Jacir SHE GIANT KILLER AN' COME AN FIND. HIS GIANT IN ‘THE |] BUSHES AN WILL Conventional but Melodious. BY CHARLES DARNTON. was exactly 11.80 last night when Lord Stanhope, who was keeping rather late hours for an old man, opened wide his arms and cried, “My own son, it Haat! “The Gypsy" reached this thrilling end at the Park Theatre after plodding along so slowly that it was seemingly often more than an hour in passing a given point. It started off as if it were “ll Trovatore” with a new lease of life and damsels fair, fat and otherwise who had evidently not succeeded in breaking themselves of the cake-walking habit. The old gypsy queen was the only one who didn't prance about the camp. We were left to conclude she was a bit rheumatic when the dashing young chief remarked, “The life of the road would kill her now.” ‘This has often been ald of actresses, of course, but since Sarah Bernhardt’s last tour no one takes ft seriously. While the feeble old queen had ap- parently lost her singing voice, she could still talk, She was like a song- lees Azucena as she told the devoted young chief that he wag not gypsy at all, but the son and heir of Lord Stanhope. And all the time Lady Alicia, known far and wide as the heiress to the Stanhope estates, had gypsy blood in her veins. She felt it, and she wanted to téke off her shoes and stockings and Jaugh and dance through the meadows, But as Paulo, the pride and chief of the gypsies, loved her and she loved him, the property was bound to remain in the family, Just how they mixed thosé babies up twenty-odd years before the play opencd ia sdacebi Keerhang, «than arene Dite Violet Seaton as Lady Alicia. Buttercup would care to explain. We were satisfied to hear Lord Stanhope gay at 11.30, “My own son, at last!” To have heard him ask, “Where is my wandering boy to-night?” would’ have filled us with grief and pain. ‘The programme kindly explained that “The Gypsy” was a romantic operetta by Pixley and Luders. There waa more romance in the score than in the book. Mr. Pixley had made “The Gypsy” as conventional as old-fashioned comic But there were airs by Mr. Luders opera and as dull as last year’s almanac. that gave it a refreshing, out-of-doors quality in the beginning and kept it melodious to the end. The composer made the most of his music by con- ducting the orchestra, and some of the numbers were very well sung. William Sellery began the good work with a solo in the opening chorus, and while Francis Lieb acted like an ama- teur he redeemed himself with an ex- gellent baritone voice and made @ fine looking gypsy. Miss Violet Seaton dis- red -vooal extravagance as the heiress. In her quieter moments she was pleasant to hear, but at the end @f each number she sounded like a lecomotive whistling for a station. This eems to be the accepted musical com- @fy method. We can only live on through nojsy first-nights in the hope that eome“day It will be rejected. Miss Eleanor Kent's voi seemed mercifully soft, perhaps because It was comfortably upholstered, When John Hazzard took his music cue to inquire “Ien't It Delicious?” there was no rea- son to think that he referred to his @inging. After delivering various chest- Branca. Ll6b aa. Paulo. Guts that had been set to music, he suc ceeded in being really amusing for @ few moments in the last act. Ernest Lambart, on the other hand, was excruciatingly-—sad, A cruel fate compelled him to go about picking at things and saying “She loves me, she loves mo not.” He was such a silly ass that there was no occasion for him to imitate a certain patient barnyard animal in his bursts of uncontrollable mirth, give the poor devil his due, however, I must say he was the only one to make it seem possible that the scone of the play was England. A gardener’s assistant was the first to create “atmosphere” by talking American slang in rural Eng- land—thanks, no doubt, to the author. But what's the matter with the stage manager?
