, COMIC PAGE : SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919 LITTLE MARY MIXUP e THE NEW PLAYS e “The Girl in the Limousine” Mechanical Farce BY CHARLES DARNTON a HERD {s fomething to say for a bedroom farce that finally reaches a: ty & velwndah, but with fresh air there should be fresh wit “The 9 . Girl Inthe Limousine,” go far as wit goes, doesn't get anywhere. é M¥ilson Collison and Avery Hopwood have turned out nothing more than ‘4 @ mechanical farce. © ong You may go to the Eltinge Theatre to be shocked and remain to ‘ be bored. Ordinary persons are likely to get into an extraordinary situa- Hon and at the same time be able to say something amusing, but the chief | @haractors in this play are incredibly dull. They merely hop into and out} of a bed and boxes. After an hour or so of this simple form of exercise | ‘the spectator is likely to feel the need of sleep. The man who is held up ‘ey robbers and stripped of everything but his clothing can do nothing ‘more than hide himself when he is “dropped” conveniently at the home of | i a friend. It happens that his friend's wife is in bed with a cold and that! | 4 ‘her eunt insists that he, too, shall stay there and take home-made remedies. | r ' * ‘ ; 4 Now, all this might be entertaining if there were bright lines to carry) g ‘slong the situations. Unfortunately, there {s nothing clever in the sug-| by affair, The ded .holds the centre of the stage, and like the play it | "t worth talking about.
