To begin with, the crooks who hit upon & peculiar scheme to enrich themselven were not discloned in their “roont” on the Bowery, When the curtain went up they were already at the little hotel in the village near the “P riare h's” home. As types they were inter- esting, and the audience Hatened attentively as they explained their unholy Plan, But it was a blunder on Mr, Cohan's part, in my opinton, to bring the Patriarch to the hotel, if he had been ‘revealed in his own hi Shrine.” To create an atmosphere of He would ha: eomed much more impressive abitation, the cottage known as “The “faith” on the stage is always a dim- cult matter, and when the attempt is made in the room of a hote! it becomes almost impossible. On the other hand Mr. Cohan was ‘Wise in making “The Flopper” «a sham ripple, thereby sparing us the hor- for of seeing a cistorted, pitiable fig- ure. Moreover, this genial impostor, Michael Coogan, was genuinely amus- ing. Fortunately, teo, the “miracle” by which he was “cure.” was per- formed inside th cottage, so we saw merely «+ result, The one really dramatic scene came out at the “end of the second act, wher Eddie Holmes walked out of the cottage without his crutch on the arm of the Patriarch.

The reforma- tion of the crooks after the death of the Patriarch was less convincing. So far as any further interest in them was concerned the play might have onded with the third act, when “Doc” Madison, the chief conspirator, tore ‘up the checks that had been pouring {in and stood ready to bow to his “Queen,” the regenerated Helena, As this girl, who passed herself off 28 the niece of the healer, Miss Gail — acted without sincerity and overdressed the part absurdly. When will our young and handsome ac- tresses loarn to respect their calling jsumciently to forget themselves and their vanity long enough to do justice to the roles entrusted to them? As @ producer Mr, Cohan should have jmade it his business to see that Miss Gail did not go about her humble duties in satin slippers. While George Nash lacked the mag- |netism that “Doc” Madison possesses jin the book, he was forceful and | dominating and he played with a aure touch. James C, Marlowe got a great [deal of fun out of the dubious role of "The Flopper,” and Karl Browne acted that nervous, shifty victim of cocaine, “Pale-Faced Harry,” very cleverly, But the real honors of the performance, surprisingly enough, were’ won by Frank Bacon in the comparatively unimportant part of the hotelkeper, He made Hiram Hig- gins a@ delightful character, Equally quaint in her way was Miss Ada Gil- man as Mra. Higgins. Another good bit of work was done by Master Percy Helton in the part of the lame boy. William H. Thompson waa a rather Geclamatory and not particularly im- pressive Patriarch. ‘Phe truth is that the play an a whole is more amusing than im- pressive. It has its interesting mo- ments, but these are followed again and again by tiresome atretches. Tho most that can be said for “The Mir- Man” {s that it is an unusual Play.
