Both plays proved ‘To-day's Flame is); Whenever we Hear a Man Talk of interesting and were well acted, a result that should be gratifying to people who take something more than their nerves to the theatre, The contrast be- tween the two plays is as great as that between Manchester and London, where the acenes are laid “The Younger Generation" !s not merely a comedy, it 1s a play of reat iife, photographic in its truthfulness. The suggestion of a fireplace at the edge of the footlights, like that in “The Passing of the Third Floor Back," served to bring us close to the family circle and to give us nothing short of @ personal interest in what was said. Very Little was done, yet this very lack of action won admiration for the author, who used only common, every-day mea: ; to gain his end. It was necessary, perhaps, to have a feeling for, or an under. standing of, the typical English middle-class family, But even without tt, every word spoken by every member of this family living in a Manchester iburb could not fall to be interesting. If there was very Uittle plot there was Yeast enough to go round, for, after all, here was a play of character abso- lutely true to the home whose door it opened, ‘The puritanical ther who asked his young son, “Where have you been?’ and bis daughter, “Who's your letter from?” was just the eort that has so often brought about a revolt against narrow-minded rule, The shock he re- ceived when another son camo home full of something stronger than his de- termination to assert himself, after Pausing In the hail to kiss the house- maid, awakened no sympathy. The children were delightfully matter-of- fact, and when the good man let hiin- self into a ie by declaring he had never been drunk he was quite done for. The cast couldn't have been better. Stanley Drewitt as the fussy, middie- aged father, Ida Waterman “early Victorian” grandmothe: Lawford as the broad-minied uncle from Hamburg, and Katherine Mac- Pherson as the bouncing, sensible daughter, were particularly good. ‘Thanks largely to the excellent acting, “The Younger Generation” proved more human than “Milestones,” which it re- sembiea in theme. “Helf an Hour" ts a curtously grim Uttle human tragedy to come from the pen of that arch gentimentalist, J.

And when the curtain went up again it was not convincing to hear the rather foolish young man giving his Bide of the conversation, Connecting the two scenes by telephone seemed ‘merely a theatric trick. Then, too, the long arm of coincidence was stretched more than usual when the doctor who found the wife in the dead iman's room “turned up for dinner at her houee and gave her @ very bad quarter of an hour. ‘It was also hurd to bellevo that the husband, boor though he was, could alr his suspicions of his wife before their guests, To see her finally go in to dinner the arm of the doctor was a relief. Miss George met every demand of her trying role splendidly, and even faved that scene at the telephone fron becoming mec al, Her performance throughout had subtlety, charm and distinction, Never has she displayed her virtuosity so brilliantly, In indicating the suppressed, tense emotion back of the light, bantering tone in the opening scene she was superb, and her chal- lenging self-control after the tragedy commanded admiration, H.

What with his meditation and his planning,» Waldo had made poor time on the return jour ney from the coust, so that It was after Sunset when he entered the last deep ravine beyond the further summit of which lay his rocky home, He had about completed the arduous Ascent of the Last steep trail, at the creat af which was his Jouruey's end, when him, sithouetted against the kening sky, loome! a great, black, -uching mass, from the centre of zed two balls of tre, It was Nagovia, and he ovcupted the centre of the only trail that led over the edge of the ridge from the ravine crossed which lay alon.
