© THE NEW/ PLAYS e | Gis “Rolling \T Harris Theatre, © above the footlignts, But a play that } ing house and ends on the front steps of the Sub-Treasury Bui | Stones” Light Entertainment. BY CHARLES DARNTON. HERE'S an odd turn to “Rolling Stones” in the third act of Edgar |ters last June, he nd Selwyn's play, which had the weather on its side jgat night at the | brother-in-law, Stephen Ganglairdo, | couple of ols Tip ant ‘The third act of any comedy means, of course, that i Pmatters have gone pretty far, especially when there's fourth act looming” begins In the front room board- jgure- tively speaking, may honestly lay claim to a certain degree of speed. After much watchful waiting we found ourselves confronted with « “altuation” both arausing and excit- ing. Two human rolling stones whe} had established themselves as the) ty kids of a marshmallow estab- iment were intent tipon making the weekly payroll a sad disappoint- ‘meat to conscientious workers, when aM experienced burgiar blew the safe and caused general embarrassment. ‘The honest-and-truly burgiar made, his getaway—and nothing more—while | the real owner of the candy shop/ came in with policemen, only to bave the entire receipts of the place turned over to the youth who had been pass- ing bimeelf off as the head of the con- corn. A long story led up to this enliv ing incident. To make,.it short, the ‘help to the candy store was supposed to bave been killed in « railroad acci- dent. It happened that two young men who were down on their luck Jumped right into the business, One of them, by way of earlier exercise, had contemplated jumping Into the Chicago River. If be happens to be in a reminiscent mood, Mr. Selwyn will tell you that he once stood on this same bridge at | midnight and forcibly restrained Kimeelf from taking a cold bath. Walle his play may not be altogether autoblographical, it is not entirely without personal associations. one thing, Mr. Selwyn evidently ‘clings to his boarding house days. in thia respect his atest play recalls “A | Country Boy.” There are also re-! minders of “Get-Rich-Quick Walling- | ford” and “It Pays to Advertise. But We young Coaps who piay a) crooked game with a certain hon- eaty are neither so ingenious nor which the play hi its ‘chief chat been selection of actors might easily have ifted. above the commonpla Mr. Selwyn to molodraratie ren have, de~ scribed it.as melodramatic farce. Di+ verting as aré many of its incidents, exciting as are some of ita scenes, the play as a whole bears the mark of being a manufactured article. It lacks the spontaneity of life even though some of its incidents and characters may have been taken from life. How- ever, “Rolling Stones” may be ac- as it qntertainment.
