-MANY NEW DRAMATIC OFFERINGS AND PHOTOPLAYS PRESENTED FOR AMUSEMENT SEEKERS
IRRESISTIBLE GENIUS'
HAS MANY GOOD POINTS
It Is Sometimes Interesting,
Often Entertaining, but Is
It Drama?
''Tho Irresistible Genius" has many
Rood points of situation nnd dialogue.
But as presented last night by George
"M. Cohan In the second week of its
'stago career It still lacks the pungency
of speech, poignancy of emotion and
sharp definition of plotting that make
v real drama. A new star swam into
the ken of tho audlcnco at the Broad in
Georges Renavent, who played tho role
of tho title, n youthful violin virtuoso.
Ho is personable and he possesses per
sonality, but his stellar rating po
tential thoush It seems of hlcher cali
bers must for the time being be one
of tho minor magnitudes of theatrical
astronomy on the basis of tho achieve
ment of this "comedy of youth, love
ana temperament."
Kvery ono who goes to tho theatre Is
certainly sympathetic to "youth" nnd
"love" nnd can tolerate "tempera
ment," cither in tbo characters por
trayed or tho portraying actors or both.
So it is not on tho score of rcutillza
tion of familiar types, themes nnd ma
terial that lovers of tho drama must
feel regret that the nuthors. two of our
townsmen, John T. Melntyre nud Frnn
cis Hill, did not make more of their
opportunity to do something significant.
What they have done is sometimes in
teresting nnd often amusing, yet it does
not convey from scene, to bccuc the
developing inevitability of a creative
urge, but rather a fordlan assembling
of standardized parts; in other words,
an artificial product showing the marks
of the artificers.
- In .addition to the mixturo of tech
niques and motives thcro is another.
Sometimes the voice is that of George
Cohan nud the hand that of "Melntyre
nnd Hill, nnd then ngnin the voice is
that of Melntyre and Hill nnd the hand
that of George Cohan. The difficulty of
this complication is that tho collabora
tion has not attained complete fusion.
At any rate the audience enjoyed the
proceedings. Partly this was due to Jhe
fact that the piece is peopled by many
"bit" characters, all entrusted to
'highly effective players with tho capacity.

Ithey show some sense of tho thentre. a
decided sense of character and in Mime
passages n sense of dialogue that is
natural speech. There is nothing cheap
about their play, and they deserve
credit for their aspirations,
'' Ploys this season seem to run to
musical themes. In Crnno Wilbur's uii
tlucky effort it was the violin thit was
haunted, in this piece it is tho violinist.
!Thp central figure is a genius of the
fiddle who is even more pcxtered by
vomen of the idlc-mludcd nnd empty
fnoulcd type than the long and curly
'ryelashcd and similarly handsome
'heroes of the movie bazaars. Xo less

wings that nre endangered. No, in
deed, it is his that nro menaced with
singeing. And ho himself snys be wants
to be good and to live for his art. The
upshot of it is that he decides to chuck
his career on the eve of his big recital.

who almost outdoes the systematic
stenographer. in "A Tailor-Madc
Man." She is tho only person of that
gender who hus not made love nt him.
Ho raukes Ioo to hor with his violin.
Then n horrible thing occurs. Kvery
one of his admirers thinks ho has been
sending sound waves from his soul to
hcn nnd rushes to elaini him. Hut
efficiency lives up to it name and love
to its hallowed significance. Ho is
snatched from tho horde of wild women
and saved for art and love and life.

Matsys Canvas Greatest Travesty on

of Carinthia and Tyrol, called the ugliest
woman on cath in dim medieval days,

for SSO guineas (about $4410). Hxperta
say ho more appalling trnvesty of the
human form has been conceived than
that which Matsys's brush left on the
cuinns.
The great lndy's face is described as
nearer that of one of the nnthropoid
apes than n woman, with tiny eyes,
an upper lip incredibly long, a nose for
which no word enn bo found nnd the
whole monstrosity crowned with n jew

"charm" a hundredfold. Her lack of
beauty 6ccmcd to enhance rather than

It's an American trait to try
The American people are the fairest
traders m the world. They will give anything a fair trial.
And m this manner, many of the products of today
have been built to greatness.
This trait settles all doubts. The
people often discover articles of merit. They likewise
discover the imitations. The merchant who has some
thing worth while.profits by it. The other chap doesn't.
When they have made the trial, they
know. And they can't really know until they do. Thas
why we ask you to try Lord Salisbury. W-e know
what a superior cigarette it is, but you dc.Vt unless you
have tried it. And you won't know until you do.
A great many people have tried
Lord Salisbury Cigarettes, with the satisfying result
thatthesalesofl919increased25overthcsalesofl918.
Lord Salisbury is packed in an inexpensive machine
made paper package instead of a cardboard box.
YOU CAN'T SMOKE THE BOX. WHY BUY IT?
Lord Salisbury

is inevitable
which means that if you don't like LORD SALISBURY
Cigarettes you can get your money back from the dealer
