Cyril Maude in “The Second in Command.” BY CHARLES DARNTON. RIL MAUDE, the English actor, who mado his first New York appearance at Wallack's Inst night, was given a sincere welcome. in marching forward with ‘The Second in Command" Mr. Maude proved beyond any possible doubt that he was entitled to the Victoria cross bestowed ‘apon him in the last act, for he not only crossed swords, as it were, with John Drew, an expert !n tho role of the Major who finally concludes everything isn't fair ig love and war, but he bore up bravely in a pluy that has grown a bit abaky on (ts sentimental legs. Though he may have enlarged a trifle upon his aecent to let us see how elmple life in the English army is, he was undeniably ) suman and he demonstrated above all that he knew how to bring out the ‘arking emile. If he seemed « trifle stolid by comparinon with the dash, or at least the distinction, that Mr. Drew wave to the role, he undoubtedly knew what ho was playing since it was he who cfeated the character. When Mr. Drew cocked his eye at Muricl we used to wonder for three acts whether he wouldn't be placing at) least one arm around her as the cur- tain fell. But Mr. Maude never deceived us for @ moment. It was all as plain as | his face that Muriel was meant for | no other arms than those of Col. Anstruther, Mr. Maude saw the humor | of Major Bingham and he let us see. {t without ever once overdoing it. That’ he will ehow us @ more Interesting side of his personality !n other plays of his repertory fs a foregono conclusion. He is an interesting and able actor—this | much ts certain. It ts equally certain that, at this late duy, “The Second in Command” is not @ play to (ire the tvood of @ New York | audience, To the contrary, It ix like a cold cup of ten. Capt Marshall's coms edy haa its pleasant moments, and it j may still be dear to British hearts that Cyni Maude Major Christopher eat for soldiers dented ali the comforts Bingham. of home, but hero and now a seif-sacrl+ fleing hero who gets nothing tut @ smedal in the end can hardly hope to hold his own, much leas hia audience. And the whole truth {s that we have witnessed @ better all-around performance of the play than the one given at Wallack’s, Migs Margery Maude acted dutifully) as Murtel, an tmpression emphasized, perhaps, by the fact she was acting with her father, After ail, too much should met be left to the imagination. Montagu Love lived up to bis last name, If womewhat mildly, as the big, strapping Colonel, and Arthur Curtis wae fairly amusing as the youth who was driven to drink and then to war. It was {m- posalbie to feel very sorry for Mr. Maude am the Major because he seomed to take ft all rather lightly. He scarcely suggested the bitterness and hopelessness of failure. There ix every renson to believe he will appear to better advantage i@ other plays that are to be sewn from week to week “After Five” a Waste of Time. A 3 THH HOURS of “After Five,” at the Fulton Theatre, already seem to be numbered, 1 haven't the heart to say all that might be said of this tedious farce by William According to the programme, "the authors claim that the baste Idea of this play te to de found in one of the earlier stories of Jules Verne.” At any rate the youthful hero's idea of hiring «a tan to kill him and then Nvtng tn terror wf the fate that may befall him at any moment ts almost a9 old as James T.
