“Near Santa Barbara’ : Shootin’ Melodrama | BY CHARLES DARNTON An actor who writes plays and aleo appears in them is necessarily a brave mas, Willard Macle displayed the courage of his conviotions last nigh! at the Grecnwich Village Theatro iv “Near genta Barbara.” a shootin’ melodrama, in which we were left to gvees tho shooter. It is fair to say bat ail of us went fur from the mari. 4 man with 1 0 U's in his pooket le shot and kified, and a Japanese valet <8 wumpected of being the munerer. But the sheriff who might hang him je finally dragged into the echeme, and he is given a chance to get over the Mexican boner. It's rather stren- vous and accordingly exciting. The | it all that doesn’t hold | thing about fire im the emotional part played by the wife, who ralsce chickens and wears low-cut gowns on the ranch. Galli-Curci As Mad Lucia; Farrar as Zaza By Syloester k Ravwling. “Gnil-Cure! made @ first *appear- ance of the season here with the Chi- cago Opera Association at the Man- hattan Opera House last night as the | bedevilled, befooled and eventually mad-craszed heroine of Donizetti's opera, “Lucia di Lammermoor." There vas an uncomfortably crowded house 10 welcome her that was slow to wake up to “demonstrations.” it was not untll after the sextet of the sec- ond act, indifferently well sung by her and her associates, that the con- ventional storm of applause, dear ti the Latins, broke loose. But that wae only » warmer-up for the avaianche of enthusiasm that the mad scene evoked. Then there was Bedlam. The little prima donna smiled and bowed, repeated part of her vocal callathente exerciaes, acccepted a rose bush, threw a branch of it to the nductor, and altogether had a mad time im consonance with the crazy scene and the temper of the audi- ence. And save for that, why “Lucia"? Tito Schipa, who was Edgar, (ook does not affect the attendance at the Metropolitan Opera House. Oecar Hammerstein's prescience seems jus- tified. There was well-nigh a ca- pacity audience last night to hear and see Leoncavallo’s “Zaza with Geraldine Farrar ‘n the name part. Miss Farrar made no new revelations in the first act—that scarcely is pos- mible—but in the Jater emotional scenes the acute dramatic sense which she possesses enabled her {« make touching and convincing apy peal. Supporting here were Kath- leen Howard, Crimi, Luca, Bada and precocifus and taecinating little Ada Quintana. The recitals of vesterday were two, both at Aeolian Hall. In the after- noon Roderick Benton, baritone, sang, and in the evening Kazounoff—she must be Miss, she is so youns— played upon the 0. Mrs. ©. H. Harriman and a numb of men and women interested in bringing the best music to the more ntimate knowledge of the public have organized the American Or. chestra Society. Dirk Foch, who has been setected as the musical director, will gather an orchestra to sustain teighborhood groups and give con- cérts all over the city. By recruiting students of talent into the central body the society expects to produce By way of afternoon tea, Grace George is serving at the Playhouse « comedy oalied “The New Morality,” « Play by Harold Chapin, who gave np hie life in the war, e Keeping up appearances seems to be the lenson of thie new moratity play with its houseboat on the Thames and its current of scandal It sug- gests merely a ripple of life. The wife of the man in question happens to call another woman “a dog show name” because she sends an idle hus- band on errands. He is even so reck less as to bring hairpins from the shore. A criminal lifel action is threatened when the hustand of the outraged lady drinks more than is good for him and in his muddled state of mind has the good sense to say that t is better to find a man anything than ridiculous. Miss Gearge gives keen edge to the role of the wife, and Lawrence Gros- smith is delightfully amusing aa the Upsy husband who holds up the other end of the discussion.
