TIII2 ndvantago of a capital' thesis,
Involving tho extremely human long
ing of u socially harassed millionaire
for a single evening of restful "home
life," has htrensthened llw play's fabric
to an extent unattalned In the aimless
"Ue selling Angel" and "Good! Gra
cious'! Anilabelle!!'." and provided u
firn act which has many elements of
Intelligent and onllvunlng comedy.
The author's laxity ot technkiuo Is
evidenced as tho pleco progresses. In
tho effort to pad tho original material,
the later nce.icH descend Into ploughs
of sentimentality distinctly out, of key
With tho rajilo design. The tlnal expla
nation that the serious scenes resulted
from a misconception Is poor compensa
tion for an almost completo change of
mood.
I.lfe is, of course, replete with the
most whimsical surprises, but despite
Its mission ot holding the mirror up

definite and tangible rules. One of
these concerns the lmnronrlety of dull
ing the spirit of thistledown farce or
Hint comedy bv the Injection of deep
emotionalism and then hastily explain
Ine, as In "A Successful Calamity,"
, that "It was all a mistake."
Lest (ills assertion be too rigidly com
Idered It may be ndded that an Inspired
genius, which SIlss Kummer is not, oas
certain extra, privileges In blending man
ners. That mixture, however, usually
comes under the special classification of
whimsy. Shakespeare employed it In
M. Midsummer Night's Dream" and
the unique Harrlo constantly strikes
that chord. Mr. Gillette himself must
fuljy realize the dlffe'renco between the
deft fusion of 'styles handled by a
mailer and the mere patching together
process as exemplified In Mlns Kummer's
little play, for hi once acted with bril
liant effect In 'Tho Admirable Crlchton,"

extravagance and profound veracity that
the modern stago affords.
