WITH two musical pieces for the total
Srta of the week, ShaWs "Pyg
mallpn" remains the most Important as
well as the most interesting offering at
any Philadelphia iheatre.
Too feature of the play which has not
come In for discussion In tho Evohno
XirDGEn is tho terrible, oh-so-Gngllsh
wear-word with which Eliza Indulges
liereclf In tlio third act. An a matter of
fct. the part of "rygmallon" that raised
the moat talk In London Is hardly notcicd
In America, We can't seem to work up
righteous Indignation over tho word
"bloody," even when we learn that It
has nothing to do with physiology, but
purports to be a corruption of the medie
val oath, 'By our Lady." Of course, In a
luid where slang Is quite as stylish as It
Is expressive, we don't grasp tho real
secret of "W'cst End Londoners' horror.
"It Isn't done, you know." First and last
the word Is "low," Only servants and
tradespeople indulge.
A. B. Walklcy, of the London Times, who
Ja a. servant only or tho theatre-going
public and u tradespcrson In nothing
more reprehensible than dillltante French
allusions, took Shaw'o sangulnlty In the
proper spirit of a sophisticated English
gentleman and man of letters. Ills reply
as he phraied It In his reclvw was so
delightfully cutting that It would have
annihilated Shaw, If the latter gentleman
hadn't been Shaw and hadn't known that
he used tho word for a real dramatic
purpose. Here Is what Mr. Walklcy wrote:
O, greatly daring air. Shaw! You
will be able to boast you nro the Jlret
modem dramatist to use this word on
thr stage! But, really, was It worth
whlleT There is a whole range of for
bidden words in tho English language; '
b little moro of your courage and we
suppose they will be heard, too. And
then good-by to the delights of really
Intimate conversation!
SAVING THE PUBLIC
FROM THE PLOT
The chief Impression of both "Fads and
Fancies" and "Dancing Around" is the
utter futility of "books." For years all
the critics of America have been abusing
the producers of musical comedy for the
way the songs and dances and comedians
run .away 'with the plot and lose it before
tha first act Is oven Every month the
Plea (or a continuous and consistent nar
rative ban gone up from the press. And
till Al Joleon and Frank Tlnney continue
"bad for plota
Tuesday evening a treat light burst
upon us two of us. It wa probably the
result of one "revue" on top of another.
Anyway, by the time Harold Atterldge'a
collection of British officers and popular
alngera had spent a quarter of an hour
and any amount of vociferation on the
outlining of the plot of "Dancing
Around," Ihe fear suddenly struck home
that they were going to keep It up all the
evening. Think- of following all these
humorless futilities to the endl Imagine
trying to work up any real Interest In
vrho footed whom and which married
which! The first spasms of plot In "Fads
and Fancies" promised better: but the
sense of real enjoyment through the rest
of both those shows was suddenly flooded
with a great light of understanding when
seme of the characters walked out In the
last SO seconds of play and announced the
result of the contest. Until librettists are
capable of something besides the old sen
timentalities, long live the comedian with
his axo out for the plot I
WHEN IS A REVUE
NOT A REVUE T
There Is one very good substitute for
plot besides extraneous fun travesty. It
flourished In the days of the Weber and
Fields' Muile Hall. There was a good deal
of political as well bsj theatrical satire in
th early "Follies." And now travesty
atssta coming bacte again. Tho summer
hew at the Winter Garden usually has a
lot of It; and Oeonre Cohan has made
what appears to be a masterpiece of the
Wad in "Hullo. Broadway," But "Dan
cisff Around" has none at all, and "Fads
o4 Fancies, which .promised to be a true
"revue." developed only some mild satire
mm pet dogs and Ford cars. Mora's the

tfavMtys outside New York the subject
$t the burlesque Is very likely not to have
ewe to town yet. There Is only one so
lution for this; to produce the piece on
Broadway, go on tour when the plays
fenrleaqued ara pretty sure to have pre
ceded, you, and depend Just as much on
th amusing character of what happens

PUTTING BRAINS INTO
MUSICAL COMEDY SCENERY
There are slcns that the merry-merries
: nro taking to the now stagecraft of Qer-
I many quite us fast as Is the straight
urnma. Almost every musical comedy
nowadays has a touch of something novel
and Imaginative In tho settlimfi. "Sari"
hnd u remarkable example In Its last act.
"Tho Girl from Utah" gave us a sug
gestion of tho Oriental ih the Mormon's
room that was far moro potent in its
simple use of warm rose and brown and
of pendulous curves than were all th
minarets and arabesques of the lap act.
Tho two review h of this week are good
examples. "Dancing Around" begins with
a room finished In hluo and white to
match tho blue and white of the officers'
uniforms. Both are treated In the same
effect of white braid. "Fads and Fancies"
rather splits the virtues of the new stage
craft. A number of scenes are full of
broad, arresting color effects; a number
of others treat design In Just as Interest
ing n way. The scene In the dog's nur
sery, for Instance, has an admirable ar
rangement of Its two round windows and
ono square opening. And all through
both reviews color Is used In the cos
tuming with a vivid originality that
makes even a chorus girl Interesting.
The flnul sign that the musical comedy
producer has waked up to his opportu
nity Is Mr. Zlcgfeld's use of Joseph Ur
ban, the Vlenneso scenic designer who
made the Boston Opera House's produc
tions notable und who set Edward Shel
don's "Garden or Paradise." Mr. Urban
has already designed n background for
Zlegfeld's "Midnight Frolic." Ho is now
at work on the entire staging of the new
summer edition of "The Follies."
"FADS AND FANCIES "
SUDDEN DEPARTURE
The sudden decision Friday of "Fads
and Fancies" to give up the unequal fight
against "Dancing Around" and detiart
' from the Forrest this evening naturally
i calls up n comparison of the two pieces.
' The EvKNi.va Ledger reviewer confesses
to nn Impartial liking for both. But there
were undoubtedly reasons for the supe
ilor popularity of "Dancing Around."
"Fads and Fancies" Is easily the pret
tier and more finished product. The cos
tumes are fresher and brighter; good
taste Is more constantly to the fore. The
humor of the piece Is more evenly dis
tributed through all the scenes and all
tho players; there Is no Al Jolson Joke
trust. "Dancing Around" lacks a certain
polish that the revlow at the Forrest en
Joys, but It makes up for It In vigor.
Every one, from Al Jolaon down, knows
Just how to "get" the audience. There Is
a smash to the Lyric's show that the
other lacks.
But, fundamentally, the two make the
same appeal to the same people, and
that's why one la about all the town can
support at one time. "Dancing Around"
Is selected as the victor because It has a
season's reputation behind It.

A Specialist in .Cads
One of the most amusing features of
"I'eg o" My Heart,'; which will at last
reach Philadelphia Monday evening, la
Hassard Short. He plays Alarlc Chiches
ter, the scion of the aristocratic family
which treats Peg and her engaging Irish
terrier so unsympathetlcally. It Is not
altogether a pre'tty part, but It Is one
after Mr. Short's' own artistic heart'. He
specializes In cads.
For 10 years Mr. Short has been on the
American stage, and In that time he never
has essayed any other role than that of
the snob, silly ass, cad or bounder. His
first appearance In America was with
John Drew, In "The Second In Command,"
but previously he had long experience
with Sir Bserboh'm Tree, Mr. Pat Camp
bell. Sir Charles Hawtrey, Weedon, Gros
smlth and others,
Mr. Short realizes that he will probably
have to play the cad all his stage days,
as managers, once having found an actor
who can portray a certain type, Insist on
keeping him at the same line, whether
he likes it or not.
"I am In the groove, I suppose," says
Mr. Short. "American managers have a
habit of keeping one playing what one
makes one's first success In. But really,
I don't mind, for It la rather nlie some
times to be the one person In the play
who can say nasty things to the huolne.
I like the lines in 'Peg.'"
Mr. Short claims one other distinction.
He doesn't utllUe the monocle. He can be
silly without this omnipresent glass, Is his
way of putting It.

"Do you not .think (hat tho naturalness

lliiilnlslied, when tho audience Insists
on taklnff part In It by shouts' of ap.
p!aune and laughter, and the actors have
repeatedly to stop acting Until the noise
Is over?
"Have you considered that In all good
plays tears and laugnter 'lie very close
together, and that It must be very dis
tressing to an actress who Is trying to
keep her Imagination fixed on patnetlc
"motions to hear burits of laughter
breaking out at something alio la sup
nosed to be unconscious of?
"Do you know that even when there Is
'io such conflict of comic and tragic on
'he. stage, the, strain of performing Is
greatly Increased It the performers have
to attend to the audience as well as to
their parts at the Bamo t!me7
"Can you not Imagine how a play which
lias been" rehearsed to perfection In dead
rllence -without an audience must be
upset, disjointed, and spun out to a weari

to enjoy It silently?
"Have VOU noticed flint If vnii Innirli

: And do vou not know that an act of a

mu.slc. to be heard without Interruption
from beginning to end?
"Have you ever told your sons nnd
daughter.1) that little children should be

thought how nice thcatilcnl performances

"Have you noticed that people look very
nice when they smile or look pleased, hut

laughter or shout excitedly or sob loudly?
Smiles make no noise.
"Do you know thut what pleases actors
and authors most Is not your applauding
them, hut your coming to see the play
aguln and again, and that If you tire
yourselves out and npoll the play with In
terruptions you are very unlikely to come
again?
"Do you know that my plays, as re
hearsed, are Just'the right length; that
la, quite as long as you can bear; and
that If you delay the performances by
loud laughter you will make them half an
hour too long?
"Can I persuade you to let tho perform
