A more ingenious persoh than Camilla could be found only upon the tage. She runs into an automobile, wakes up in a hospital, and then @azes doil-like at the new outlook on Nfe offered her by a camp in the woods of which the motor-car man of hor destiny is king. He kappens to be “a married man,” tak- fag the term for what it is worth, after she has taken him to be a doc- tor. She is a nice, simple little thing, and because he has run over her, Junious Patterson sends her to his famping place and behaves like @ ‘wentleman—a rather difficult thing to @o in the circumstances. His wife, it Sppears, has gone from baritone to fenor, in other words, from bad to Worse, and so she doesn't count at all fm the plot. But Camilla ts a soul @fart from all this sort of thing, and hs love: the “married man,” who— Bipbie youl that he is—doesn't believe A divorce. He tells Camilla that it take him a year to sever the js that hold him from her, but gives him a chaste kiss on credit. scheme of life is managed #0 My on the stage! ¢ Anyway, Miss Kummer has writ- |ten a comedy so clever that it offers | jcapital entertainment, The charac- ters are vague and the play “tricky,” but the dialogue ts so bright that it is sure to delight discriml- nating playgoers, Although Lola Fisher fatled to sug- gest a childhood ‘in Paris, she made Camilla an attractive young person. Walter Hampden acted discreetly as the opulent possessor of a high- geared motor car; William Sampson was inimitable as a poor, drinking | waiter, who entertained the luxurious | {dea of becoming a “periodical”; Rex | McDougall gave an amusing touch to a privileged loafer, and Carlotta Mon- | terey was agreeably sophisticated as | @ go-called woman of the world, In the role of a glib song-writer, Arthur Shaw was almost as funny as “Somebody's Eyes,” evidently writ- | ten in all seriousness by Miss Kum- mer, About Plays and Players By BIDE @ ND still they come.
