I
By WALTER PRITCIIARD EATON
Tho iireaent writer ndmltn to n rhlliHsh
"weakness for plot In mimical comedy
Ho Is foolish enough to llko bcit a muslcnl
play, other things belnu equn.1, that Ii a
nlay. thnt liaa at least thn nppcaranco of
Unity mv form, and doesn't seem to he
a vaudevlllo proRrnin csenped out of
Keith's theatre. Ho also lms u childloh
weakness for lyrics In a mimical corned
which have some relation to this plot.
When ono or morn of tho cliaraetern
breaks forth Into sons, he likes to havo
that eonB about somobody or something at
least remotely related to the storv Still
further, ho Is so childish as to ndmlt a
certain fondness for lyrics, which sound
little more as If tho had been written
by Qllbcrt than by tho Sweet SliiKrr of
Michigan no, that is not qulto fair, be
cause few lyrics oer could bo as amusing
us tho Snoot Singer's! what wo are try
ing to say Is that no havo a fondness for
lyrics which do not shatter quite all tho
rules of meter, grammar, sjntnx and
sanity.
t In short, we found "Very Good, fiddle"
a delightful entertainment "Very Rood,
Eddie," which, of courso, gets Its tltlo
from one of Fred Stone's ridiculous Hav
ings In "Chin Chin," started out hi llfo
eomo time ago ns a farce, by 1'hlllp
Bartholomne, called "Over Night " It
was not a bad sort of a farce, cither, and
lived tho usual life of such entertain
ments. Now It has been taken In hand
by Guy Bolton, with tho aid of Jeromo
Kern to write the tmics und Sehuvlor
Green to wrlto tho lyrics, and made Into
a muilcal comedy Miss Vlllzabeth Mar
bury haa a hand In tho management, and
It Is playing In tho tiny Princess Theatre,
which permits of on Intimacy and deli
cacy quite unattainable In a large house.
Everybody concerned has done his work
vyell. Quite enough of tho original farco
has been retained to make a perfectly co
herent story, In which you can take an
Intelligent Interest. Tho lyrics all havo
to do with this story, they fit neatly Into
the scheme, they nro written In rhvthmlc
measures and havo no little wit and
sparkle, and they nro sung to times
that aro pleasant. The chorui Is small.
modest, pretty, and each member has a
bit to do before the evening Is over.
The company Is composed of competent
players, who could handle tho piece as
straight farce, and they get their effecti
without horseplay Moreover, tho whole
thing Is as clean as a whistle, free from
vulgarity and bald sox appeal, and being
acted In the llttlo Princess Thcitre, has
an air of delightful Intimacy that nt
times Is not unremlnlscent of the old
Weberfleld days All in all, It's a mighty
good entertainment.
There Is no need to go Into particulars
about the cast, further than to say that
It contains pretty llttlo Alice Dovcy and
our old friend. Ada Lewis, and Umest
Treux, who has nt last been allowed to
grow up sufllclently to play a role In
long trousers, though they still keep him
on the sunny side of maturity and make
him Blng an amusing song about tho woes
of the man who wears a 13 collar. He
gives a very neat and Ingratiating per
formance. Oh! and wo must not forget
the chief comedian, John B. Hazzard,
who tosses off his comic lines as If It
was all in the day's work and goes on
about his business of being n hotel clerk
Hazzard Is qulto funny enough to attract
attention, even If he had not onco w rltten
that immortal ballad, "Ain't It Awful,
Mabel?"
The present writer was stnndlng at the
rear of the Hudson Theatre during tho
first presentation of Austin Strong's new
play, "Bunny," and a man asked him If
the author were English.
"Hardly," we replied. "Ho considers
himself an American, surely, though his
step-grandfather was Stevenson."
"Who's Stevenson?" was the next
question.
But we are not all like that In New
York "Bunny" Is tho kind of a play that
might have been written for the late Sol
Smith Russell. Nay. it is the kind of
a play that was written for tho late Sol
Smith Russell. Only, nlas. It Is now
played by Lewis S, Stone, who is an ex
cellent actor, but rather fitted by nature
fpr virile parts than the role of the absent-minded
dreamer. It Is a fine thing
for an actor to try to broaden his scope
and for a manager to let htm try But
nature's limitations have to be recog
nised, after all. Francis Wilson never
did give that performance of Hamlet.
The scene Is laid In England "some
where In England" In tho year 1817,
which permits of quaint costumes. Tnu
hero Is a poet and bookworm, who keeps
a quaint, second-hand book shop wherein
all the action takes place. Qualntness Is
sought as a keynote of everything, In

Therefore he seems destined to lose her,

she comes to see Bunny In his shop an
hour before her wedding (a thing often
dona in plays), and ho becomes bold at

Stono is miscast rather badly In the role
of Bunny. It Is distinctly an Ernest

for tho presence In It of Henry Stephen

better In her life, nnd whose mere en

why managers aro so stupid and she
appears on Broadway so seldom of late

B low of feeling. And as his teohnlcM
abilities aro superb, there Is nothing rnor.
Tho first symphony, by Dnnlol Oreiorv
Mnson, was rcclved In the earlier nunV.
mrnts with too much nplomb. There
nothing overwhelming on tho surface In
this vvoik. nnd, In fnct, u part of th.

weaving of tho three Tho tonof th.

melancholy, but tho persistence of the
atmosphero Is ngaln nnd again Imperiled
by tho Inconsequent, nlmost abortive, jl,y
of tho themes. This must not bo Uwn
to mean that tho movement lacks logical
development; on the contrary, the devel

material has crumbled.
Fortunately, this fault docs not eblalr
In the lest of tho work Tho allegretto
raprlccioso, based on variations on two

with an obvious, but by no means vulgtr,
humor. Its function is to set oft ths
gravity of tho two movements betseen

sustained beauty, In communication of
rich feeling through beautiful sound. In
sober loveliness of theme and In skilful

employment of tho English horn for til
main theme, tho lccurrcnce, In brass, of
variations or memories of other themes,

without paue, the nymphony runs to'lu

Is tho freedom of orchestration with
which each theme Is finally treated. The
total Impression of this work, heard but
this onco, can bo of only fragmentarf
value. It may be said that there Is not a
shoddy phrase In tho w hole, not a trlckr
or unworthy appeal. Whether all of the
composer's materials aro solid may b
questioned. The writer thinks they are,
thoroughly. But there seems nodoub(ln
his mjnd that tho treatment has made
far too llttlo for continuity of lntenst
and for an upheld or uplifting effect.
