BY CHARLES DARNTON URNING out a comedy is, to the English playwright, as easy as pouring out a cup of tea, judging by “The Lodger,” which found refuge last table theatre, At any rate, only an Englishman would dream of building a farcical plot upon the atrocities committed by Jack the Ripper in the Everything considered, it was a wether ghastiy comedy that came to ‘us, with only a moment's notice, from the Haymarket Theatre, But as it happened to be the only new thing under the moon we made our way to it and hoped for the best I think it quite tho worst specimen of farcical comedy that London has sent us in many @ year. Horace Annesley Vachel must have been very hard up for « story when abqut Bloomsbury? Yet you laugh at, OF aympathize with, ite simple human types. In other words you take the world at its human value. But would London do aa much for you? No-no-no! Harlem would mean nothing to London but a joke—and to make the situation more awkward the joke would have to be explained. Tt tm enough to eay that in “The “Great Adventure,” while in another way he suggests the adventurer of Stevengon’e “Suicide Club," for he wives away tarts containing guinea pieces. As @ matter of fact, he is a fool who falls in love with the next cirl be meets. It is by this simple neangs that the play ends happily for everybody concerned—not counting che audience. +The greatest pleasure of the per formance was afforded by Beryl Mercer im the role of @ poor and vaturally agitated landlady, As the husband of this thoroughly humen reature, Harry Ashford was also imately amusing. Lionel Atwitt ed the strange adventurer #0 nuously that he mixed a salad and his emotions without the alicht- cst variety of acting. Phyllis Reiph played the girl of this impossible ro- nance {In @ qutet, well-bred_ manner hat gave “The Lodger’ its only aim to the imagination, days before the war.

E. Thomas's “Her Husband's Wife” by an audience that showed rare enjoyment as the pleas- ing comedy unfolded. Miss Tempest, as the woman im the oase, which was @ very amusing one, gave indications of knowing just how to oatoh a hus- band. But the husband happened to belong to another woman. Miss Laura Hope Crews, who played the part of the melancholy wife, resolved to die and was anxious to see her husband well provided for, After selecting Miss Tempest as the one to succeed her, and finding that that charming lady Wked the job well enough, she re- volted, and—eomplications | followed fast until everything was explained Children Cry for Fletcher's The Kind You Have Alway deceive you in this, health of oric, Drops and Soothin: plum. more th relief of Constipat Diarrhoea; allaying ee TOM WISE A WINNER IN HEIN’S PRODUCTION OF “THE MERRY WIVES” Silvio Hetn'’s production of “The Merry Wives of Windeor,” presented | ast night at the Park Theatre, won ontinuous approval from the bucolic Art scene in the street of Windsor to the beautiful finale in the forest. ‘a Sir John Falstaff, Thomas A. Wise 1dded new laurels to those won In the Hackett presentation last year, and surely the merriest of Shakespeare's characters has eeldom found a hap- pler portrayer. “Banish old Jack and you banish all the world,” Falstaff once @aid of himself in his plea for his friendship for Prince Hal, and as Wise developed the hard drinking, foolish lover of all womankind there was new reason for understanding why the Bard of Avon took such delight in chia oreature of his imagination. ‘The Merry Wives, Miss Constance Collier as Mistress Ford and Miss Isa- bel Irving as Mistress Page, lent their parte all the bewitching roguery that was demanded. Miss Collier has ap- peared with Mr, Wise before, but this was Miss Irving's advent to the cast, Particularly good, too, was Miss Auriol Lee as Mistress Quickly, iso & new comer, whose piquant mannerisms were a joy, Others who brought able support to the excellent production were W. Lawson Butt, ‘ord; Gordon Burby, as Page; J 1D. Walsh, as Shallow, and Louts Labey as Dr, Catus The ploce was splendidly staged, most of the scenery t new.
