THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, THE NEW PLAYS “Mr. Pim Passes By” Has Witty Charm. By CHARLES DARNTON “Mr. Pim Passes By” is one of those lelsurely Engiish comedies that make Playgoing a delightful relaxation, and it was so capitally acted at the Gar- rick last night that the Theatre Guild again distinguished itself for its good taste, uncommon variety and general cleverness, A. A. Milne's little play is slender, ‘but amusing, a mero trifle with witty charm. Happily, it was in the hands of such light comedy artists as Laura Hope Crewes and Dudley Digges, and so it was never crushed beneath a heavy finger, If at times thg play seemed to wander into the garden for ‘want of something better to do, the acting was entertaining. It was al- ways possible to look about and find some one on the stage who was gen- erally amusing, for instance, Mr. Digges humming “kop Goes the Weasel.” What has this to do with the passing Mr. Pim? You may well ask the question, and the answer is “Nothing,” As a matter of fact, the whole play is about nothing at all— his is what makes it such good fun. Mr, Pim is simply an absent-minded old chap who ambles into Marden ‘Be ite te aarti On Her Birthday Two pianists occupied the baie stage yesterday, sRuth “Clag dn, the afvernoon and Bara Sokotstcy- Freja ia the evening, both’ in Aeolian Hall. Miss Clug, a New York girl, who burst into the concert. frmameht only this Beason, for her secomd recital played foux Brahms waltzes, a Chopin group, including the ballade in A flat major, and compositions of Mendelssohn, Schubert and Liszt. Miss Clug has a nice touch, a good tone and plays in quite a mavure fashion, often get- ting beneath the surface of the music Miss Sokolsky-Freid is adept on the organ as well as On the plano; In fact, she is more adept, and ber plano Playing in consequence suffers in comparison. Geraldine Farrar celebrated ner! thirty-ninth birthday last evening by | singing the role of Manon in Masse- net's version of dhe opera at the Met- ropolitan Opera House. This is one of Miss Farrar’s most interesting parts, and she faithfully pictures the triumphs and defeats of this popular! French character. Her associates in the cast were Misses Tiffany, Mellish and Arden and Messrs. Hackett as Des Grieux, Chalmers, Rovhier and Ananian. Mr, Wolff conducted. House and happens to mention that came over on @ boat from Aus- tralia with a man named Telworthy. This is something of a shock Olivia, who married Marden after be- Veving her first husband, Telworthy, to be dead. However, she takes the news quite calmly and incidentally puts Marden to the test of declaring himself as a man. He is conventional, but not a bad sort, and he flounders around for a@ time distressed about the possible publicity that may grow out of the situation, Old Pim, you may be sure, has got names mixed, and it turns out that Olivia’s first husband, a forger who went to jall @ good deal, is unquestionably and satisfactorily dead. But Olivia takes advantage of the situation so far as) to make her perfectly good husband consent to the murriage of his niece with a futuristic young artist. It's love's old game and , love's young dream mixed by a clever hand. Miss Crewes smiled and dimpled through the role of Olivia with sunny charm, and Mr. Digges was the orth- odex English husband of easy-going manner with the smugness he can give to a character. As Pim, never quite sure of his hat or his umbrella, Erskine Sanford was a source of in- nocent amusement. Phyllis Povah fave bouncing spirits to the role of the fi tent upon marriage; Leon- aod Mu was a manly and gay lover, and Helen Westley hit off a practical aunt with telling strokes. In short, “Mr. Pim Passes Ry” is & comedy you can’? afford to pasa, ad “Cradle Song A Spuntsh play, “Cradle Song,” Was swung into the Times Square | Theatre yesterday afternoon. It Is a study of motherhood, imagined or realized, and accomlingly it may in- terest, women ‘A baby in a basket is left at the door of a convent, and the sisters give the child gheir love, There ts little more to this play, by Gregorio Martinez Sierra.

The nuns have made her trousseau, When she has gone Sister Joanna of the Cross falls on her knees, weeping like a mother, ‘There is beauty, if little drama, in this play. Iy ts essentially a thing for women. A poignant appeal was made by Angela McCahill as Sister Joanna, and Florence Flinn was blithesome as the cenvent girl. —»>—- BARRIE PLAY MAKES FINE IMPRESSION ON SCREEN AT RIVOLI. “What Every Worwen Knows,” by Sir James M. Barrie, the scenario by Olga Printzlac, which is presented this week at the Rivoli. is a photo play of splendor produced by William C. De Mille and is up to the standard of his screen works, In this story of love, interspersed with comedy, Lois ‘Wilson and Conrad Nagel have the leading roles, and they add to their lwurels as movie stars by their re- fined acting and impersonations, Mr, Nagel. in the role of John Shand, is first seen as a housebreaker, not for plunder but to gain knowledge from books. His detection ,after en- tering the Wylie homestead at night, by the occupants. paves the way for him to receive an education and finally be elected to Parliament, It is in the house that he mects Mags) Wylie, interpreted by Miss Wilson, and @ marriage contract is en- tered into, provided he meets with success, He keeps good his promise, but after two years of married life he turns bis attentions to a titled lady, played by Lillian Tucker, But he soon realizes that it really is his wife to whom he owes success.

Senators Hold Late Night Conference — Miller Forces His Prohibition Plan. (Special Proms Staff * tS onan tm ALBANY, March 1.—After a confer- ence of Republican Senators, which lasted until after ¥ o'clock t&is morp- ing, it was announced that the Proh!- bition enforcement act and the bill jTepealing daylight savings would be| | passed. The big fight in the conference which did not gof into a caucus was on the enforcement of the prohibition jact. One of the up-State Senators tried to make a Prohibition issue, but was prevented from so doing by the New York Republican Senators, who wanted to save their faces, believing j that the Greater City would not | stand for the movement, Present at the conference was Will- jam Stagg, personal counsel of Gov. Miller. This left no further doubt that the programme of the Governor is going through, for the voice of the lawyer evernvateeed) all other argu- ments. The arguments grew so strenuous on technicalities that the Senators complained that they didn’t know the meaning of the words which were being battled to and fro, so at mid- night Senator Ames of Franklinville went out and got a dictionary, After that it seemed to be plain enougn sailing. Hostility to the Governor's Volstead Act was shown by the New York City Senators, and it was said that eleven Republicans voted against it; but in the wind-up there were twenty-eight votes in favor of the measure, four more than enough to pass it- and they claim that there are sufficient mem- bers in favor of It in the Assembly to pass it. But still Majority Leader Lusk maintained that the conference was not @ caucus, On daylight saving the Republicans ‘were two votes shy in the Senate last week, but Senator Lusk said this morning that they were so sure of the repeal that the Senators did not even consider it in the conference.
