OT in years has a comedienne held an audience so completely in the palm N hand as did Grace George at the Playhouse last night, when * broke the long spell of idleness that threatened to make this delightful actress a confirmed first-nighter. Peal after peal of laughter marked the finest performance of Cyprienne that Miss George has «iven, one that may honestly he sald to be the most brilliant individual performance of the season. Those who went expecting to find her Cyprienne an old story—and I plead guilty!—remained to learn their error, for it @roved to be so much more finished than before, #0 surprising in detail and so | fresh in apirit that 1t seamed altogether new. She has worked wonders with the tole to which she owed a great deal in the beginning. There was @ time when | the brillfance of Sardou's comedy out- | shone her own, but that time has passed. Miss George expressed every mood of Cyprienne without the slightest sug- gestion of effort, ell as. with a| Aelicious sense of comedy. After the | first flush of her excitement had worn off she looked even prettier than her pictures, except for that moment at | the end of the first act when she popped out wearing a head-drese that made her resemble an Indian princess who had seen Gaby Deslys and turned pale at the eight. At other times ehe was a vision beautiful gnough to turn even a husband’s head, ‘om first to last she played her role like an artist, catching tho epitit of Cyprienne perfectly and giving the practical side of that capri- cious lady’s nature a meaning that was conveyed in a glance when Adhemar's 2,60 france @. year caused her to stop| and think what ehe would lose by chenging husbands. In the supper} @cene Miss George showed good taste— | and perhaps respect for the new 1/ o'clock closing law—by not drinking too | much, She was sympathetic without | Grace George as Cyprienne. deing tipsy. This wae © change for the | Petter in a performance that left nothing to be desired. William Courtleigh grew steadily better as the husband. In the first act ho! was both noisy and uncertain, and as a result he suffered fearfully by compari- son with the late Frank Worthing, who gave such distinction and humor to the role when the play was first revived for Miss George. But in amtably planning the future of Cyprienne and her impecuntous lover, Mr. Courtleigh was at his ease, and from that moment until the supper scene, which he played very well indeed, he succeeded in making a most favorable impression. Howard Fatabrook was as fal his mustache as Adhemar, displaying no sense of French char- acter or manners and giving his epeeches a twang that was painful to hear. ¥ rank Reicher put too much pepper into the part of the waiter, but he gave tt | ——- Ment, skilful touch and was fairly amusing, ‘The other membors of the cast | gfy did not distinguish themselves.
