The Evenin World Dail y Magazine, Thursday, September 25. 19185 ee “Shadowed” Too Vague For Melodrama. BY CHARLES DARNTON. NOTHER night wasted! This time It was “Shadowed"—and amateur A Getectives may take it for what it's worth. To any one with even a glimmer of dramatic Intelligence the play brought forth with feeble effort at the Fulton Theatre last night isn't even a ‘patch on the moon that Broadway worships. Instead of incorporating himself (eee programme), James Forbes, who has produced nothing but a four-act dis- @ppointment, should trust to himeelf and again try his hand at writing some- thing on his own account. He could at least keep American crooks in their wa country, Why Dion Clayton Calthrop and Cosmo Gordon Lennox should try to beat the American melodramatist at his own game can be explained only on the ground that “Within the Law” has proved international, “Shadowed” is too vague for melodrama, It Is more than possible that the Engll h authors followed what they fondly imagined to be a lead to gold mine, But American crooks transplanted to English soil ouldn't be a credit to us even if they had anything to do—and they certainly didn't do anything but talk last night You may not believe it, but the plot was hidden in a copy of Marcus Aurelius, Needless to say, it was little les than cryptic. We were expected to code that baffled 1 derstanding of « Hing philo, pher. To save hi or rather to endanger it, the hero was obliged to atudy Marcus Aurclius very carefully. In this way he managed to decipher the secrets of crooks at work in Lon- don. These secr: s were written on po t-cards kept in the book of the ph: losopher, who ts Ketting all this free ad- vertising long after his time for royal- tes.

Tie hearé o great deal, but we saw very little, To prove how poor a play “Shadowed” Is it in only necessary to state that the good acting of Ivan F, Simpson as a sanctimonious old hypocrite of finance y made its worst character the best, In spite of her moral rexeneration as the “heroine, Miss Eva MacDonald remained a very bad actress, Wilson Melroxe ‘wee an honest and straightforward hero, but it was beyond his power by no Jess than three thousand miles to suggest an Englishman.
