Any- way, there he was at the Belasco Theatre last night looking thin enough to serve 48 @ pathetic example of the high cost of living. the audience saw only the funny side of ‘The Auctioneer.” This change of attitude toward the play and Warfleld’s getting back to form s0 conscientiously that even one of those roasted chestnuts he cracked must have seemed a full meal to him were the striking features of the evening. If audiences have changed with the times, so much the better for the play in which Warfield started his “legitimate” career. The rather theatric quality of the sentiment could hardly be expected to seem as real to-day as it did a dozen years ago. The Mr, Belasco has rewritten the play: is not tmportant because the play was always unimportant. 7° turkey-trotting in it, Who could ask for a more convincing sign of the times? unlikely that Mr. Belasco set to work deliberately to make us laugh with the play and not at it, and this he has eucceeded in doing so come Pletely that the result is a thoroughly good evening's entertainment.
