WA ® ~ ALKALI IKE THE NOTED SCOUT, SOMETIMES KNOWN AG THE LITTLE TOV FROM the Ladies” a Showy Show. BY CHARLES DARNTON HAT spirit of self-sacrifice 80 characteristic of Sam Bernard (never mind the “glass-crash!") was beautifully shown in “All for the Ladies,” a com. @dy with gowns displayed dast night at the Lyric Theatre. To quote th it was “a comedy with music.” But you can't believe all you see fm @ souvenir vrogramme—bad luck to it! Ladies in all the glory of the shop-window made the new piece a showy show. fim the atest catch-word of the comedian who delights to speak with diMculty (hia seemed “permissible,” though a bit hard on Mr, Bernard. He made the mom of the best character he has had since Hoggenheimer. 'But in taking this @taracter from the French Henry Blossom, whose sense of humor appears to be suffering from fatty degeneration of the originality that gave him his first Geyatttes, might casily have done more for one of the funniest men on the stage. A made-over farce was simply thrown at Mr. Bernard's head like a loaf of French bread, stale in its humor and as hard as a rock, Although the vic- tim of these circumstances did not find himself in a single funny altuation he was funny in himself. Aa the German fitter of a Paris dressmaking establish. ment he turned his misfit English to such good account that he saved the night. “Wonderful! Wonderful!” exclaimed the lady who sat just behind me. But ‘it was the display of gowns that aroused her admiration. Her enthusiasm couldn't have been greater if she had been at- tending department estore “opening” with an all-stat cast of ‘modelé” to make it an artistic success, A mere man can only bow to her judgment and conclude that “All for the Ladies” ts feminine finery goes. To the daily hint from Paris, however, may be edded the ‘humble suggestion that more elaborate musical trimmings would improve the “creation” at the Lyric tmmensely. “Alfred G. Robyn ought to go to work at once and turn out a few more hand- made tunes. For the best of the music last night we had to wait until the last act. The gen joined in singing “Wome effectively, and then Miss Alice Gentile helped herself to the piano and sang “In Dreams Alone” so well that it qwould have been a crime to disturb her dreams, With her beautiful voice #he put Miss Adele Ritchie quite out of the singing. Earlier in the evening Mis Leutee Meyers cried “Cuckoo!” and then proceeded to live up to the word. Stewart Baird looked as though he had borrowed his name, but eang as though he had @ legal right to his voice. In putple velvet, Miss Margery Pearson -had ‘the distinction of being thin, possibly because she was consumed by a hopeless m for the popular Mr. Bernard. It will not be his fault if “All for the doesn't add to his popularity. “The Drone” a Character Sketch. ® Daty'e Theatre yesterday afternoon ‘The Drone" tried to repeat the trick s0 successfully turned by ‘Bunty a year or #0 ago.
