esday., Dec The Evening World Daily Magazine, Wedn Oe “The Rivals” Given an Earnest OHEEZA Wile ¥ Performance. 70 COME WITH ME TO 00 SOME SHOPPING? BY CHARLES DAR © place “The Rivals’? under the head of new plays eat Lad calling the earnest band of actors at the Thirty-ninth Street Theatre Annie Russell's Old English Comedy Company. Neither one nor the other te to be taken literally. And after all, what are @ few centuries among friends? It seems an age since Joseph Jefferson made #0 much of Bob Acres, and ae time works many changes it now seems only natural that Miss Russell should make as much as possible of Lydia Languish. She does this with characteristic modesty, leaving the centre of the stage free territory and working for the good of the play rather than her own personal glory, Her pertormance wins respeot even though it may not rouse enthusiasm, While she gives to Lydia an almost demure charm that is all her own, she does not lend that romantic young person necessary variety. Astie from the Mrs, Mataprop of Frolliott Paget (writing that name al- ways makes me feel I've done a week's work!) the whole performance is lack- ing in spirit. The actors work earnestly, but without resuks. - Just why this e! fect should be produced when all the important parts are played by expe: lenced actors would be dificult to un- derstand were it not that several of these actors are hopelessly miscast. They mean well and they have evi- dently spared no pains to fit themgelves into eighteenth century comedy, but the unmistakable fact remains that. they have failed to catch the spirit ‘of Baeri- dan. They act as though the obvious humor of Sheridan had taken the lite out of them. Only Miss F. Paget grap- ples wity it vigorously and triymphant- ly, Her Mrs, Malaprop is not @ thing of the moment, but a survival of her Dast experience. With her the wrong word in the right place is never em- Phasized, {t eeems to come as a matter of course, She does more than her share to cheer the performance on its way. In observing the so-called tra- itions—ridiculous though they may be— that mean so much to a play like “The Rivals" she sets an example that some of her assoctates might follow to their advantage. George Giddens, while fairly amusing, scarcely suggests the country alr of Bob Acres, while Frank Reicher, as Captain Absolute, certainly cannot be said to cut a dashing figure. Granting that Mr. Reicher now speaks English without an accent and that he acte intelligently, it must be confessed he ta the wrong man for a role that requires swagger and charm. So it is with John Westley, who in very ead indeed as the melancholy Faulkland, He fails utterly to suggest the underlying Byronic gloom of the character.
