"The Scandals" Is ouo of those
stage offerings in which tho name hns

neither has the plot. In fact, there is
no plot ou the list, and it surely isn't

there is the vaudeville. Among the
clever entertainers are Frank Gorman,

which helped to bring forth W. J. Scan
Ian and Chauncey Olcott. Trom the
standpoint of real Celtic characteriza
tion the new star Barry McCormack
Is tho superior of cither of those men
tioned. Mr. McCormack is not u white
collared, vclvot-knickcrbockcred, skill-nlagh-wielding
Irish lad, but a real
flesh-and-blood kind of an Irish chap
you wViuld actually meet in any Ameri
can city with a larger Gaelic population
than Cork and there nro several I
"The Logic of Larry," the play which
gives Mr. McCormack his first stellar
opportunity, is up to the minute. It
deals with the controversy between capi
tal nnd labor, and is so timely, in fact,
that one might hnve thought it had been
written just this week.
John Lnnnigan, a dreamer with a
general hatred of capitalists, becomes
friendly with one Nicholas Grundevar.
a foreign disturber, who attempts to
plant Bolshevik ideals in the minds of
American workmen, urunuevnr nnany
influences Launlgan to such nn extent
that he becomes involved in nn at
tempt to blow up the home of Reginald
Hartley, a wealthy manufacturer.
It so happens that Lannlgnn's
brother, Laurence, a soldier lately re
turned from overseas, is calling on
the manufacturer's daughter on the
very night of the attempted bombing. I
Ouo might say thut this is too coinci
dental. On the other band, it is some-I
what cousisteut, for the reason that '
Laurence Lannigau gnined entree to the
Hartley home by reason of the fact that
Hartley's son bcrved overseas with him
iu the same regiment. Development
unci denouement show how the common
sense of real Americanism just naturally
overcomes alien ideals, of anarchy.
Willard Slack, author of the play,
makes it sclntillato with bretay and
timely epigrams, all of which fit in with
the stroug plot and which confer special
value on the play ns it proceeds from
climax to climax.
Of course, some of tnc plnlosopny
might beYllminated to speed matters
up, aud the finish of the first act, with
the old joke about the fellow who
dropped a $120 gold piece in the
collection plate, might be omitted with
out injury to the production.
