‘T may be rare as old October ale, @way in the Bijou. fiometimes I wonder whether we fully appreciate the actresses that have grown up artisticnlly before our @ull eyes until they stand head and shoulders above their lauded cousins of the English stage. Is ts that we are a grudging lot, or have we be- come #0 used to the best that we take it for granted? Whatever the reason, it certainly te not to our credit. While 1 yield to no one In my loathing of fulsome praise, enthusiasm sithout sense, noise that goee off half-cocked, yet I do feel there are times when we ingloriously |-ad the world as dumb- bells. We may be gailant enough at heart toward our actresses, but we have @ poor, half-hearted way of showing it. E HAVE only to look about us to find the finest actresses on the English-speaking stage. There is no need to mention their ames; It Is quite enough to point out ss George as the latest ex- ample. If Geraldy's play had been written & few years ago, the ieading role would doubtiess have been acted—and perhaps pretty badly acted—here by Mme. Simonv. She would probably have had one of the times of her life ranting at the top of her lungs, shak ing her hair loose, pounding down her billowy chest and washing off most of her makeup with an unpleasant flood of tears. And what would we have Mone? Cheered ourselves hoarse. This’ ia our simple way with the foreign star. Now, I have nothing against French actresses, for they are usually amusing as well as thrilling, and that's saying a good deal. We can never forget the imperishable Sarah, nor does she mean to let us do so, for according to recent tidings from Paris the great and only Bernhardt 1g to visit us again this season. As for Simone, she Is drawn to your at- tention in this friendly eclumn only for sake of contrast. Miss George gives an essentially Sympathetic performanoe of the wife torn by conflicting emotions, so deli- sately sympathetic, indeed, that it Is quite as fine as it ts true. In all this her fragiie beauty plays no small Dart, for it mukes her seem an ex- quisite prize for which lover and hus- hand are contending and even threat- ‘ning to break by their violence. Al- though Miss George may not realize 't, this feur felt for her {s a tremen- dous ald to her performance. It could not be roused by a more substantial actresi—that is to say. one eure of setting her money's worth out of a veighing machine. She might be just #9 sensitive to suffering, but some- now we should feel she would live through it and eat a hearty breakfast with either lover or husband. may be gross in such matters, but we are shamelessly human. It's like try- ng to muke yourself believe that a nusky Mimi ts dying of consumption. QXYMPATHY 1s the most !mpor- tant thing tn a performance of Helene, and Miss George knows low to get It. But it's not an easy thine to do after saving to t “I need you with me al’ to very my heart. x6 wreatest friend." the time! 2and, and Helene doesn't help mat wrs by turning off euestion with: “Stupid, ceasing you."’ Down ghe knows ehete 9 Ir to know it too, if he has the slightest knowledge of women, Me might w be aware he is in for trouble when ene speaks of Challange's interest her and confesses she wanted to snow."

Brody at Jolson’s Theatre or Wednesday night. Th’s Czecho-§! vak play has been adapted by Owen Daiie The allegory of flirting but- y | TURNING ON THE SPOTLIGHT BY CHARLES DARNTON means something more than just one play after another. @ new feather—and a proud one—in the hat of the American actress, tifanks to Grace George for the distinction, intelligence, sympathy and @harm she gives to the French play “To Love,” all too modestly tucked Wel are That's no way to talk to a hus > yet oocasionally we have a week that This one means oc strong, #0 courageous, so Intelligent —can be such a child at times.” The devil must have a tot of good laughs over speeches of that kind. To my mind the most significant thing in the play w sald by Helene Just at the close\of the first act. Th ‘se something more than the Poet in Geraidy, as he puts these words {nto her mouth: “That lighted window tn the sum- mer house is pretty. How strange! [t was Groag daylight only @ minute ago. That one lighted window makes the whole garden look dark.” This should be enough to warn Henrt that things are beginning to look dark for him. till, you can’t help respecting the man for sayin: “Marriage te 4iMoult. It ts quite an art. Being tm love before marringe ie easy enough, Ws don't know each other. The problem ts to love after we know each othe: N» more guise, no more deception | We have to deserve the love wa demand.” ‘Then, again, with a aladowing touch of doubt: “After ten years you've matured, changes’ become more of a woman Yeu begin to question certain things Why not? IT have often wondsred if the day would come when you would compare me with others.” With this dea in her head, Helene can scarcely be expected to withstand Challange when he demands: ‘What does a girl of twenty know of love? T can't understand how a girl's love can satisfy @ man’s pride. It's a woman's second love that counts. A woman gives herself, but a girl ts taken.’ It is not at all surprising that finally contradicts Helene as she declares she loves her husband by asserting: “That's not true, vou love me.” Daring as all this sounds, the play never goes beyond words. It ts dis- creetly, keenly mental, an absorbine argument on the deathless subject of love, with sanity winning over sex The woman learns her lesson, the husband who holds her ts a wiser) man, and the lover—well, he Is only | thirty-eleht. H ; It must be said that Robert War- wick is an uncommonly good lover. and that Norman Trevor ia an exc lent husband, though as English as they make ‘em. Miss George fits into the French picture with the charm of that Hghted window we so easily imagine. But she suggests nuthing so much as starlight, riIS may be rubbing tt in, but William A. Brady has been no match for his wife this week In picking and producing a play. With “Swifty’ he falls short by at least 3,000 miles. Hale Hamilton also de- serves our sympathy.
