Some OF THEM THERE CONGRESSMEN THET YAP Tries Desperately To Be Sensational. \ BY CHARLES DARNTON. HEATRICALLY, New York \s @ wide-open town. It needed only “The Fight,” put on at the Hudson Theatre last night, to establish this fact Going to some theatres these nights is like going slumming. The sort orders to clone (s not interfered with on the etage, to be observed in the heroine who plays her “stron, acene with a deer bottle at one house, while at another she comes to rescue and—to talk. Any way to get there! This ds evidently the chief concern of the Quthors of these red-light melodramas. Yt looked very) much as though Bayard Velller had gone out of hig way to reach the highly-colored scene that hit us in the eye in the second round of “The Fieht.” This may be one of the changes said to have been made in the play since it was originally written. Busy a4 Jane Thomas was running « trust compeny and running for mayor, we were hardly prepared to see her run over to Pearl Haskell's notorious house and search It for an Innocent young girl who had been called im from the street and locked In a room. Strangely enough, an fnthate who had served as Exhibit A in a moral lecture delivered by the in@ependent candidate to unregencrate politicians reported the kidnapping to Jane—and there was Jane with another job on her hands. This wae decidediy strong meat, with an absolutely: raw line descriptive of the gray-haired Senator who was in- formed of the capture and given the key to the room upon his prompt a rival, 1s It too much for you to believe that when he unlocked the door he dis- covered the prisoner to be his own daughter? You may recall sentimental ret of a similar Rimrin “Any Night” at the Princess Theatre tast season. Most | remarkable of al! was the noble Se! ator's attitude in the unpleasant situ head and threatened to #! der Jane and in this way! accomplish her political defeat. Meanwhile the In- | former had changed her mind again and | again to suit the purposes of the author. This whole act proved too tricky to Only one note of rea! sincerity wan struck, and this) was when the poor little factory child, who hag worked so long she didn't know how to play, was brought out aa| an object lenson to the hardened poll- ticians, Here, too, Miss Marg Wycherly'’s sympathetic acting went! Margaret Wycherly as Jane Thomas. straight to the heart. At ell times Miss Wreherly worked hard and for the most part well, though ehe might have given her performance more variety by laying down the political law of the tewn with less emphasis at the end of nearly every act. Each time it wea like & political speech. Beldom has an actress been compelled to work so Industriously, for when she wasn't running her bank and her campaign Jane was rattling off cooking recipes over the telephone, just to let us see, perhaps, that she was a “womanly women.” But it was not until she took a last stand in defying her political qmemies that Mies Wycherly found herself in a real situation, and this was finally made ridiculous by the etrategic capture of a waste paper basket con- taining a criminal afMfdavit that was to save the run on the bank. A very sketchy love affair counted for nothing, and the only incidental character that tood out was the familiar one of an Irish political boss played by William McVay, who made old Jimmy Callahan a human figure. As @ whole “The Fight” is an obviously manufactured melodrama atuffed with “uplift” platitudes, chief of which is the uarding of the youth of the land."
