SS Se Be VW oe ig “ Bab ” Absurdly Amusing |___ By CHARLES DARNTON | OOTH YARKINGTON certainly started something, an the saying moos, ‘with “Seventeen,” “Clarence” nnd other Woyish fanctes, for now at the Park "Theatre there ts “Rab,” the feminine equivalent of Willie Baxter This time the simple playwright, Edward Childs Carpenter, bas taken his yout from “tories of Mary Roberta Rinehart, ‘Nhe It ts a comedy, tf not © fantasy, of feminine adolescence absurdly amusing. Barbara ts « strange creature who comes under the sometwhat un famiMar lead of a “aub-deb," that is a girl who fs not old enough to burst {ato the social work, and finds hersel¢ compelled to muke the most of IIfe as she grows into her elder sister's clothes, To make up for the lonn of | other th'men, #he indulges in extravagunt phrases, funging “set” and "mate" into her talk, making such reckiens headway that ehe shocks her mother and causes even her indulgent father to be reflective when hs hend te turned from her nonsense. She ta at most a ally young thing, and in the} nd he accomplishes nothing more than the elopement of her elder mister with on Englishman who entrusts to ter car-wheel contracts which offer a good profit to her father, For her part, she is left to wait for a sensible young man who ecovers #ho ts writing love letterw to an imaginary adorer, whereupon he brings to her an «actor who answorn every requirement ¢ aept that of a sincere lover. Bab ts left to fall on her father’s chest and @wait the return of the Bensibie young man. The play is so awkwardly arranged that it takes four acts to tell a story not worth more than three a's. Helm Hayos le delightful as Bad, though it may eusity be seen that the role ts child’s play for this exceedingly clever young actress, Tom Powers plays the watdhful admirer with admirable discretion, and fam Edwards very good father, Parents and girin may find “Bab” appealing.
