THE NEW PLAYS “T Will If You Will” Dall Double Bedroom Farce. By CHARLES DARNTON PLAY that makes you tired and sleepy, too, is trying enough when it A has one bed, yet doubly hard to bear when it contains two of those pieces of furniture, upon which the fame and fortune of Al. Woods 80 largely rest. But don't let me lead you to believe that Mr. Woods is foing himself one better—or worse. Strangely enough, last night was his Bight off, and George Broadhurst was on the job at the Comedy Theatre with his production of “I Will If You Will,” a farce in two beds and three acta by Crane Wilbur. As luck would have it, Mr. Wi- bur’s second contribution to the lively| carried the husband's liquor amus- Young season wasn’t néarly so funny hari ie ‘i a em “ s ut these are idle words. 6 as his surgical novelty, “The MoD-) th ts that “I Will If You Will” ster.” It proved to be an almost} won't do at all. everpoweringly dull double bedroom farce, Why Mr. Broadhurst should have gone to the trouble of producing tt when undoubtedly he could have ‘written a much better one in Jess time is a puzzle that only he can answer. The humor and swiftness that have enlivened Broadhurst’s farces were not only missing in the mechanical actions of Wilbur's characters, but the vagueness of thetr doings was often perplexing. This was due partly to a strong mixture of dark melo- drama. The only thing about which there could be any certainty was that a young wife on a visit to the un- believably gay city had played the market the wrong way without her husband's knowledge: and wished it to appear that her $30,000 diamond Mecklace had been stolen so that she might turn the stones into needed cash. Wo first beheld her getting out of bed on New Year's morning @nd discovering that her husband's room in a three-room suite had been occupied by a strange man still in evening dress. It seemed there had been a wild party the night before and that the stranger had staggered into the wrong room after the peeved end alcoholic husband had reeled off your skin!” THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 192%. __ The Store will be closed next Saturday and Monday over the Labor Day holidays Broadway at Ninth Raccoon collars on these.......

He returned to find the handsomo stranger breakfasting with his wife, ‘but instead of throwing him out he Listened to his explanation. It was not surprising to have the Nights go out at this point and for the scene to switch back movie-like to the afternoon of the day before, with the simple wife making arrange- ments for the “robbery” with her dear friend, a society lady detective, who ‘was to come to her room at 8 in the morning, whisper “Tt ie 1,” and get the necklace. These interesting de- tails were overheard by the hand- some stranger and the house detec- tive, a roughneck who, of course, wore his derby hat wherever he went. Then there was the bedroom mystery of New Year's morning, and after that the light of day ‘to clear {t up Even then things looked dark for the handsome stranger, but he turned out to be a former Secret Service man, and after finding the necklace sewed inside the crooked house detective’s erfminal looking necktie he won the trust and love of the lady sleuth.
