BEAR SHINWILLIE SE STRANGER OUR NEW \DEA IS TO CHECK HATS AND “The Paper Chase” Like Child’s Play for Mme, Simone. ALL RIGHT sie fLL BE VERY CARBFUL OF IT BY CHARLES DARNTON. OWN at Wallack's the determined Mme. Simone is again pursuing the feet- D ing American public, this time in “The Payer Chase," a pretty trifle by Lows N. Parker. What moro can any one say in this day and to this generation about « belated mixture of costume play via artificial comedy of in- ¢rigue? Qnly sparkling wit can make a play of this kind fascinating, and while Mr. Parker's wit 1s occasionally diverting, it is never brilliant. The plot is so in- @enyous that only “sweet sixteen” could possibly get a mew sensation from it or accept its obviously manufactured heroine as @ humen being. The interest we ‘once took tn Sardou's “Scrap of Paper” 1g scarcely revived in watching the ex- traordinarily olever Baroness Bettina outwit the Duke of Richelieu and his ap- prehensive followers who are intrigu against her dear friend, Queen Marie Antoinette. Little Bettina from Vienna alone can foil them—this much {s clear, She has, we gather with some difficulty, gained possession of a paper lampoon- ing the sovereign, and by hanging on to It she causes the author, none other than the Duke himself, considerable un- easiness. In the chase for it he is joined by various highborn ladies and gentle- men who are reminded thet they may Jose their heads if they don’t find the paper. No audience to-day can be expected to grow wildly excited over a myster- fous paper that is tracked through four acts. To say the least, it's rather tame sport. But it is fairly interesting to! watch the slelght-of-hand tricks that Mme. Simone performs with that elusive paper. In using it for a lampshade, whisking it into a secret drawer, and leaving It on her table in a box with a false top, she keeps everybody guessing, A cabinet of books turns out to be the secret door to her bedroom, Through all these mysteries the confident Mittle actress from Paris walks smilingly. She as- @umes casily the comedy manner that first won her recognition In tho !lghter ecenes of “The Return from Jerusalem.” She is seen at her best in her ligltly taunting moods. In capturing the eligible though rather stupid Marquis of Belange under the very nose of the fair but marrie@ Marchioness of Joyeuse she is capital. ‘ There hasn't been such a generally competent heroine as Bettina since Lady Cicely brought about Captain Brassbound's conversion, Mr. Parker isn't another Ghaw, but he lets the lady boss the job to the utter confounding of every man in the play. While this artificial role makes no great demands upon the skill of the actress, Mme, Simone shows again that she is an accomplished comedian, She plays with the part as lightly as she does with the “paper” that keeps up the seemingly silly chase. Her quick changes of facial expression and her hu- morous inflections ate happily sulted to high comedy—but not so her gestures, which too often suggest low comedy.
