THE NEW PLAYS |!295.8 CAR “The Grand Duke” | Celightful French Comedy | : | By CHARLE "owt without reason, “The und Duke,” produced at the Ly- ceum just night with that perfec- tion which only Belasco can achieve, fakes first place. In this delightful Parisian comedy by Sacha Guitry ®ew honors were won by Lionel At- will, whose Duke proved better than |ingly and exhibited uncommonly | Bis Deburau. These are .the out- @tanding facts of an unusuany nuppy event. But singularly apropos of this bronchial season was the new catch- Phrase, “All the whooping cough,’ ‘which threatens to become “catch- =.” And now for the Grand Duke Feo- @or Michaelovitch, no less! He has @ way with him, this Duke, or rather @ Way with women. Yes, as you al- Beady may have guessed! he belongs 0 the small army of great lovers, and like all wise men he fears wo- fmen. Having learned he cannot hold the women who please him, and that ft.1s diMoult to get rid of those who ‘Sere him, this expert in feminine in- conveniences is not troubled with en- @umbrances. The Russian revolu- tion has cramped his style a bit. yet he manages to get along very well in Paris, where it pleases him to ve @ teacher of English, thoroughly con- versant as he is with the essential Phrase “I ‘ave a dog.” An odd thing @bout the play is that at other times he speaks the language fluently.

He makes rather a nice point of it, especially a the boy has for twenty years or more believed his father-to be dead. The Duke finds it much more interesting to arrange matters s that Michel may wed the rich man’s daughter and then have her father marry the boy's mother. | To each suitor he recommends hie ftime-tried formula: “Take a woman by both shoulders and kiss her be- fhind the ear. The result is inevitable breakfast for ‘two,” This might weem risque were it not for the dis- ‘rest ‘translation of the play by Achmed Abdullah and the careful di- wectton of Mr. Belasco, which make it ‘Mr. Atwill was always the aristo- exer of good taste and good manners, goting with admirable poise and skil!. | About Plays and Players VID BEUASCO really ought mot to get in discussions on y platforms and delay Sunday morning when the company appearing in “The Grand Duke” went to the Atlantic City Sta- Yon to take a train for New York, | Mr. Belasco and Lionel Atwill, star, of the froupe, turned up missing. | Time came for the train's departure, | but David and Lionel were nowhere to be found.
