BY CHARLES DARNTON 1 Li, the world loves a good loser, and in playing the game of Lady A Helen Hoden for all it was worth in “Declassee, at the Empire a) Theatre last night, Ethel Barrymore proved herself to be the greatest : favorite of the American stage. The admiration and affection expressed in the greeting given her left no doubt of this fact. Aside from the beauty | and distinction she gave to her role, Miss Barrymore acted like a thorough bred. It was this quality, more than any other, that enabled her to achieve ® brilliant success, _ Zoe Akins has written a good acting play, one that Is a bit “showy” @ © yet cleverly calculated to catch and hold the interest of an audience. It is certain to fascinate women, for it reveals a keen and penetrating sense of feminine character, Then, too, the lines have a certain prililance, together ¢ With _sympattiette touches to soften the harshness of the general scheme Though Lady Helen ie by no means an original character, she gains new interest by originality of treatment. Adventure runs in her blood: F ghe comes of a mad, reckless race that has always found the world a bit T -slow. From the first it ig seen that she is running down hill and in danger of taking a hard tumble. Some of the people she has gathered about her are not of her class. In fact, her jealous and half-drunken husband accuses THE BIG : the young American who has made his way Into her heart of cheating at cards. There's a devce of a row, and on the threat of leaving his house LITTLE FAMILY. Lady Helen compels Sir Bruce to apologize to Thayer. A moment later, if ‘et you please, Lady Helen discovers ‘Thayer cheating and when he refuses to © “apologize to her husband she shows him up before the whole crowd. He fa . . > er Ke > is cad enough to threaten her with the letters she has written him, and YEI7A - LUKE WELL | BILL - . ‘ {when Sir Bruce learns of these letters Lady Helen jn at the end of her rope.

But just as her future seems ‘ HER \Nlo iad e yto be seoure, Thayer return from South Africa and Solonron gives her up. _ Lady Helen leaves the house and ix promptly run over by an automobile. She dies happily after Thayer has told her of his enduring love and asked _ hor to be his wife. It would be better, in my opinion, to have the play end when Lady Helen _faints as Thayer is in the midst of his protestations. Nothing 1s gained by having her prolong the agony after she is restored by champagne with whfth ‘she finally drink®-a toast to “Home.” Incidentally, it is rathor surprising * te find eo much English sentiment in @ play by an American. Moreover, the American characters are given the worst of it, just as they were in “Our Betters.” It is enough to say that two of them are card-sharps, Rut it mu! confessed that Solomon, described as “the American rival of the British Museum,” is a cleverly and mercilessly drawn character, 1 Miss Barrymore carried off all her scenes with a supord air and was @azzling In her beauty. She might have sacrificed a wit of it, though, after Cy being run over by a taxi-cab. There wasn't even a mark on her white gown a «to BucKest a street accident. Claude King gave an excellent performance as the rich collector of world-treasures and made Solomon second ‘in interést only to Lady Helen. ‘Vernon Steele acted well as the youthful lover, but he couldn't possibly be mistaken for an American. Charles Franci#, af Lady Helen's hopeless adorer, was humble in charneter, and beauty found a = wide range in Beatrice Beckley, Katherine Harris, Madeline Delmar and other women of the cast. “Declaasee” offers as much to the appraising ’ * e7e an it does to the dramatic sense.
