ee ee “THE NEW PLAYS . “The Lady in Ermine” Has Rare.Musical Charm By CHARLES DARNTON VY JHEN you go to the Ambassador Theatre don't worry about your ears, h ¥ for “The Lady in Ermine” will fill them with music for which they may well be grateful. Not only ts the score richly melodious, but the singing of Wilda Bennett and Walter Woolf places the performance on a high plane. Most of the music by Jean Gilbert and Alfred Goodman is of the Vien- nese variety, with slight modifications "here and there, and so {t is only 1 to find soldiers in showy Borvreas uniforms, dashing tn upon susceptible damsels who aren't the least bit afraid of them. It really doesn't matter that the lady of the castle, Mariana, faces the dread pos- sibility of sacrificing herself to save her supposed husband, somewhat after the fashion set long ago ty Monna Vanna, for a little fright of is kind only helps to scare up the e of a prima donna. It certainly brings out the best in Miss Bennwt who sings beautifully and looks cordingly when she proudly faces the boldly appraising Colonel in gown of silver and glittering tiara. If she could also manage to wear a diamond en, ti are exceptions, and the soldier Is more than likely to be one of them. Mr. Woolf is quite right dn being sad just before his fall, but a little gayety in the earlier stages of his indulgence—let us say the first two or three bottles, to be moderate—wenld serve to lift is performance and give the high spirits so necessary tu musical comedy. His voice is 80 good that he can trust it to take care of itself. There is excellent, singing, too, by Harry Fender as Mariana’s endanger- ed brother,:and he also dances nicely with Gladys. Walton, who serves as a pretty and sprightly maid. One of the most delightful numbers {s a silhouette song, even though Robert Woolsey and. Helen Shipman don’t quite sing up to It. , Woolsey ts louded with so many bad jokes that he has no chance ‘to be funny unt he is visibly affected by ,the Spanish danc- ing of a dangerous looking woman named Rodriguez, and from this mo- rece “ — THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1922. ment hé succeeds in being amusin: As for Miss Shipman, she is much better when she doesn’t try to be funny, for shé has a pleasing voice and clever feet. An. attractive ballet is led aimbly by Zita Lockford, and Marie Burke has no end of style as one of the dancers. In the matter of covtumes and settings the Shuberts have shown the best of taste. But above all, “The Lady ‘tn Ermine’ has rere musical charm, thanks both to the beautiful’ scdre and an uncommonly good singing company. —————— strap or some other simple thing on her chin to keep it from trembling when she strikes a high note the effect would be perfect. But this is @ small matter compared with her big achievement. Being a brave soldier Mr. Woolf loses no time in bursting into song, though he, doesn’t really let himself out until he joins Miss Bennett 1 # soulful number. In this duet he gives his fine baritone full rein, and tt the end of It gets into Arnold 8 class as an actor by falling stairs with great success. For matter, he acts very well all all except when he takes to drink solemnly.
