“ MUTT THE NEW PLAYS “ Rain ” Picturesque and Fascinating By CHARLES DARNTON Mon strong but good, was thrown to hungry playgoers at Maxine Elliott's Theatre last night in “Rain,” an adventure of the South Seas such as Jack London might have tackled with relish had he lived to brush aside those white shadows of the enchanted O'Brien. The play Made by John Colton and Clemence Randolph from Somerset Maugham's story, ‘‘Miss Thompson,"’ has an unmistakably scarlet hue. This unholy color is lost by Sadie® Thompson only when she imagines) small boat and there wait for a ship she has been ‘‘saved"’ by a tyrannical|/to Australia. She {s much easier to] has become “radiant and beautiful” missionary. understand than the Rev. Alfred Davidson, whose power is so grea! that he can influence the Governor of the island to order the deportation of the girl as an undesirable character Perhaps missionaries are almighty m Polynesia, though this may be news to you, as it is to me. But Sadie needs no explanation. When a casc of cholera on shipboard holds her up at Pago Pago for two weeks on her ‘way from Honolulu she flaunts herself at the hotel-store in her true colors. Ghe arrives gaudily on the arm of the ship's quartermaster with three ma- rines bringing up the rear and pro- ceeds to shock the missionary and his wife. Dr. and Mrs. McPhail are more tolerant, though by no means cor- dial. Tho indifferent trader-lundlord gives Sadie a room, whereupon she But by this time she {n the lustful eyes of the good man and late at night he goes to her room. In the morning his body 1s found on the beach with every proof that he had cut his throat. Sadie is her gaudy self again, tut bitter because of the hypocrite she had found in the night But O'Hara 1s unchanged and there remains the- hope that the girl will one day get to Sydney and marry him, As this human bit of driftwood, Jeanne Bagels carried the audience with her completely, Her vivid charm lost nothing by a harshness of voice peculiarly in character, though shé kept her spirits so high throughout the first act that the strain was felt. The tension was too great to permit of variety. In her first stormy scene with the missionary there was such sweeping violence that the second outburst seemed to bring down the opens her heart and a bottle of whis-| ~~~ key sad invites her rollicking friends to dance to the music of her phono- graph. But the real trouble starts when the outraged missionary pushes into her room and {s promptly thrown out by that strong-armed Sergeant, “Handsome” O'Hara, All this is good to eee but bad for Sadie. She makes matters worse for herself by telling the meddlesome ex- horter what she thinks of him. He “means to “break” her, and ho does it by arranging to have her sent back to Ban Francisco, where the pent- tentiary awaits her. Then he talks so much of repen- tance and atonement that she !s made to believe this sacrifice necessary to her salvation. Almost driven out of her mind by the fanatic and the pour- ing rain she refuses to let O'Hara take her to a neighboring tsland in a curtain on an ant!-climax. too, her acting suggest Influence of Lenore Ulric. 1 was no trace of Kiki as little THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER B, At 1th she made us feel (he maddening getting on her nerves, and broken she sat huddled in bathrobe, with only the dim light of « dirty lamp showing her wan was a pitifully appealing Eagels performance roused usually belleve in first-night One of the best and wher a che fairly earned the ¢ —though I d performances n't given by Rapley Holmes as the bull ing, philosophic trader, lazily with a and a fat native wife this industrious, barelegged hel joy. an exce She dragged in Io along with the naked ki r thother-hubbard. shly realized the fanat| ch with its tragedy in stooped frame. ponte a bottle, In the food book, role Rot and Catherine Brooke Fritz W lient doctor, and Sh ‘i a cles did well what Uttle there was to do as his wife, Harris by John D.
