In the three plays that made up “An Evening With J, M. Barrie” the most human note of all was struck when the poor old childless charwoman of London sald that she had sat up many a night crying in the dark because she had no one to send-to the war. Mrs. Dowey, after writing letters that a mother might send to her son, is con- fronted by a brawny Highlander in kilts and called upon, with more cruelty than understanding, to ex- plain her strange conduct. ly, however, the Scotch soldier real- izes the situation and gives the poor creature a treat at a restaurant. For his part, he admits he has managed to get along without father or mother, , but after putting on high and mighty airs he “proposes” to the good oid soul who has been only too glad to give him food and lodging, In short, | he asks her to be his mother. | No one but Barrie, I am sure, could conceive so simple, so tender and so beautiful an idea as is brought out in this little play of the great moment The quaint touch of love and patriot- |ism goes straight to the heart, In her own way Mrs, Dowey 4 her “bit,” and when the soldier goes back | to the trenches she goes to her day's | work. He ts big and strong, she is poor and weak. Yet she has never knowh anything better than a Lon- don basement. As she draws her shawl about her shoulders and goes out to her daily labor, she makes one feel that she has passed her life in the trenches of so-called elvilization. Barrie has the art of telling two stories in the same breath. Beryl Mercer, who some time ago made “The Lodger" worth while by her work as a slavey, won the honors of the night by her simple, human vting In the humble role of Mrs. Dowey. This dutiful actress gave a well as her heart, scemed to ache Clara T. Bracey, Alice Esden and Lillian Brennard were amusing as hard-working English types given to tle more than a comedy designed to - | show the reluctance of the English to give any sign of affection when it comes to a matter of father and | son, However, this cold-blooded at- | titude is fairly overcome when the son of the household 1s about to leave for the front and his father draws ‘im into a man-to-man talk, Nor- man Trevor was true to type as the father, but Gareth Hughes, though ngagingly youthful, gave the son a lisp that ty not Hkely to gain him en- thuslastie recognition here at this | time, | The second play, served merely as a reminder of Ib- | sen's “Ghoi In it we beheld a father who saw “shadows” because he had drunk more than was good for jhim in his earlier da ‘for him to discov is creeping toward the whiskey in the dead of night and to be told by his wife that he was responsible for the girl's alcoholic tendency, The |argument that he, in the course of years, had thrown off the vice be- cause the vice had become tired of him, earrled no conviction. If Barrie knows anything about whiskey he must know that this kind of argu- nent is all rot, Lyn Hording played the father conselentlously, and that uutiful, sensitive greature, Etleen daughter Hubany who made’ “Grasshopper” orable, was again fascinating as the young woman who had Inherited aste for strong drink, Let us hope that Barrie will never drink an ing stronger than teal! 1 Block From Fulton St. edly .98 On Sail De- eit Goods Wilt Bo Holy atl, Wanted vd er beheld an oppor= ‘lb i) Another sensation | linoleum offer, with colors thro uh the back n good, heavy grade; regular S115 qual ity; sq. yard 68° “Old Frtends,'t!
