T was an innocent Marte Antoinette that Grace George suggested at the Playhouse ast night, a bit frivolous, perhaps, yet more sinned against than sinning, and perfectly ‘willing to’be @ good wife. In spite of everything to the contrary, she seemed ® queen who could, do no wrong~ that fe, nothing downright scandalous or heartless, Feminine sympathy moy have had something to do with cre- ating this pleasant impression, for aaide from the fact that the lovely Miss George adorned “Marie An- toinette,” a rumor went about the house that the author of the play was an American woman using the sus- piclous, if not simple, name of Baymar, There was more brilliance in the costumes than in the play, though here and there a flash of wit gave Miss George opportunity for the scin- tillating comedy tn which she excels. Her charm was made exquisite by Dillowing gowns of 1are beauty. Al- though the Queen had been out all night ehe looked fresh as a morning- tlory at her first appearance, and after going to her Du Barry bed she gave the discreetly ardent Count Fer- fen a grape for his breakfast, then playfully endured the scoldings of her matter-of-fact brother, Joseph II. of Austria, until he demanded to know why had not provided an heir to the throne. She could only say Louis Sixteenth wasn’t living with her, and 80, of course, there was nothing moro to say on the subject. Louis ap- peared to be wholly jrood-natured about it when he happcaed in from his blacksmith shop, but incorrigibly ‘remote. Byen the Count from Sweden seemed more intent upon sailing for America in the interests of Lafayette than remaining with Marte,. and piqued by his attitude she turned recklessly to gambling. Urged on by the scheming Duc d'Orieans, she lost ‘am amazing eum in an amazingly short time, meanwhile burning a for- est of fagota to ilumine her fete. “Some years later,” as the programme put it, by which timé the unhappy |” Queen was the happy mother of two children, the -enraged revolutionists burst into the palace and seized her. A final scene revealed her kneeling beneath the guillotine with the heads." man ready to do his work. In her leave-taking of the children Miss George was simple and pathetic. —<——<————_———— About Plays and Players By BIDE DUDLEY THE NEW PLAYS Grace George Adorns “Marie Antoinette” BY CHARLES DARNTON At no time did she attempt to reach tragic heights, Her lighter moments had gaiety and charm. In addition to performing her own considerable task she acted under the disadvan- tage of being compelled again and again to prompt Pedro de Cordoba, who replaced Charles Cherry in the part of Fersen and was uncertain in his Ines. He was a well-mannered cavalier, but lacked force and warmth aa the lover. Fred Eric made Louls an amiable lout until parenthood brought its responsibilities. Walter Ringham was practical if nothing more ag the Austrian Emperor. Douglas Wood played tho villainous Duke smugly, and Harda Daube was a thing of beauty as the treacherous Madame de Genilis.

That is, he is coming material to stage in London. It is understood he will put on a big musi- eal revue in the British metropolis in association with Charies B. Cochran, nd it is further hinted he wil ap- pear over there in “The Tavern.” One report said’ he might take the entire “O'Brien Giri” troupe back with him, but this is probably a guess.
