© Mace powiler is made largel An Artistic Success BY CHARLES DARNTON. N his appreciation of the artistic temperament Edward Locke bas much I h George Moore, He put himself in this 20 with that little human comedy “The Climax,” and he ix the most interesting play of the mm. artialic success. Moreover, it ie @ play that ngs out that rare thing in the theatre—an Idea that makes life worth living? Any sensible per question by placing bis hand over the pocket in his oat that is nearest his thumping organ. In his excellent play Mr. Locke makes a fine point of sympathetic @mterstanding. The and the Puritan do not speak the same language, 0 far as tradition goes, they love each other and they marry. Then the strain is felt, She, @ cer, ia innocently simple, but he, @ Puritan, cannot share her point of view. When he secs her in the arms of her| @irector—the man who has devoted twelve years to making her an artiste—| he mistakes a professional caress for a guilty action. He also considers, her friends of the bohemian world rowdies, when, as a matter of fact, they | are quite harmless. Her frankness in telling him that she has accepted gifts from “married men” shocks him. Although he lives in the Berksh he has a New England conscience, and it bothers him to such a hat he goes to. the war and does his best to get killed. Happily, hv te find that his wife is @ thoroughly good woman, For her part, she tects frum scandal a woman whose husband does everything in his powe Yo give the dancer a bad name. This upright business man, who never @uspscts his wife of an affair with Borivenko, ts quite impossible—the only impossible person in the play. He has no good reason for putting detectives on the trail of Lola. Yet Locke uses him as a dramatic catypaw te Grag the virtue of Lola out of the fire. His meddling simply aide in proving her worth, while he never guesses that his wife has been playing fast and loose with him. This fellow, as I've raid, is impossible, yet he has his purpose in shaping the plot of the play. Happily, he is given his walking papers in the last act, and Lola's husband is made to realize that the artistic temperament and domestic virtue may go hand-in-hand— Jacky man! ‘Tho acting throughout was marked by tntelligent and human touches. While Isabelle Lowe is not a Lydia Lopokova as a dancer, she has the charm of simplicity and she gave a quality of innocence to Lola that made her performance ingratiating. Though she never suggested a Russian she | was always fascinating, especially when she kicked her dare feet free of | clothes on a aleeping porch. (The out-of-door life is certainly enjoying a| new lease in the theatre these nights!) Jose Ruben gave a Buropean air to the role of Borivenko and actod with a poise that brought distinotion to his work. As the young husband, | John Halliday was eincere and above all well bred. Effingham Pinto played the blind brother of Lola with sympathetic feeling, and William Morris behaved as well as the circumstances would permit in the thank- Jess role of the inveterate trouble-maker. Helen Salinger, Renee Adorce and Eva Lang were other members of an able cast, “The Dancer” is sure to win your heart, so—like the husband—don't bother about your head ‘ About Plays and Players By BIDE DUDLEY 'ARCUS LOEW is announcing And also some of fame. the reorganization of his the-| A few are nice about it, atrical Interests on a gigantic!
