J? thcntrlcat season opening plnya scoro

Tho newly nnmcd Dn Ijvncev Street
Thtatr, after several fnUo starts, Is to
leave the list of the "dark" houses: Its
to be lljrhted up w th "The Charm
School " a comedy centering arounl n
Halve Idea namely "wt r. im on- t iet
Klrls that Indefinable qivillty known as
"charm" (and which m Maudo
Adams favored Philadelphia with her
presence, we always used to say she had l j
no revlow was complete without this),
v, A unique den. also stocks up "The
Sweetheart Shop," a musical comedy
tttld to be up to th( Forrest's well-known
Mandard In this type of entertainment:
at the sublimated matrimonial ngncy of
the title It Is possible to pick a spouse,
buy orange blossoms, rings and evdp a
rare old fam Iv lace veil, Ulktonlze with,
out going to Maryland and finally take
eut a policy against going to Iteno. The
other legitimate attraction Is a mystery
play at the Adelphl, called "The Daunt
less Three," which Is wild to have every
thing except consocutlvlty, and that sn t
wanted slnco tho authors play, shuttle
vrlse, with the past, present and future
of the characters and the situations
which are sometimes flashbacks and
sometimes postdated scenes.
THE current week's openings, In addi
tion to being, on the whole, tho most
meritorious a"gregatlon of noeltes at
the season, finally wiped out the bit?
margin of revues and mulcal comedies
over legitimate attractions, which jko
marked the local season of 1920 up to
last Monday. There was abundant
variety for all tastes In tho offer ngs,
what with a plav of satire and emotion.
The Famous Mrs. Fair" (Broad), a
musical romance, with tha merits of
operetta. "Lady Billy" (Garrlck) ; a
comedy of heart nppoal and sentimental
humor "Daddy Dumpllns" (Lrlc), nnd
n. first-class mus cal comedy, "Irene"
(Shubert). None of them proved a
maMcrplcce of Its own clas. but each
of them evidenced Individual merit, or
at least attractiveness. In varying de
crees. (imiin FAMOUS MRS. FAIR" by
JL James Forbes, author of "The
Chorus Lady " 's the most substantial
play that Philadelphia thentrecHTi hive
had a chance to witness for months.
Opinions vary as to Its merits as drama
nnd th sincerity and wholesomeness of
Its motivation. One view Is that It Is
simply a supermclodrama of a sort.
1. e.. the plav of artificial sentiment and
stagy expedients a "Way Down Easrt"
with a broad A. If this view Is cor
rect. It Is llko all melodrama, either
Immoral or unmoral. Opposed Is the
commendation of the playgolng comm t
tee of tho Drama League, whose bulle
tin says:
A clean. Interesting comedy, bring
ing a timely lesson without being a
preachment drama. From the horror
and glory of war. to th simple homo
life, comes the famous Mra Fair. She
chafes under domest c monotony. The
temptation Is presented to win the ap
plause and fame of a lecture tour sho
yields. Her home In peacetime with
out the mother's guiding hand, Is al
most ruined She returns In time to
save t and to realize her folly. Mrs
Miller and Mlsa Bates appear to ex
cellent advantage In the portrayal of
their resp ctlve roles. Miss Gllmore,
In her presentation of the "daughter."
Indicating the Influence of coarse corn
pan onshlp on a young and susceptible
inn is wormy or special commenda
tion This gives a pretty fair Idea of the
underlying thought and objective of the
play and also furnishes It with a. clean
V o'U of moral health. In the opposed view
the play Is Immoral, not from the angle
of salacity, for there is none of that,
but from the standpoint of ethics and
dramatlo honesty, in that It poses a
situation, but does not face It with the
Integrity and lnevltableness not merely
or life as It should be Ideally lived, but
of human nature as It is. The crux of
,th question Is whether tho wife, the
celebrated war worker, would really for
Klve her erring husband, as Mr. Forbes
haa her do. or whether the playwright
was not evasive and, at the least reck
oning, disingenuous. In resorting to the
weak and hacicneyed theatrical expedient
of solving a ery real, organic and per
i aonal problem by a tangential factor
I that has no Intrinsic bearing on the
matter.
Th's view may be tenable if one can
consider the sal vat on of a joung daugh
ter, who Is running wild, not Intrinsic
to tho lives of a middle-aged couple
Whose felfcltv I" on thn mne rtirfnt fn
the wife a neglect of family in quest ofi
what Is a good deal like notoriety, and to
the Infidelity of the Ignored husband. If I
the family Is cons dercd no both an I
economic and spiritual unit, certa nly I
Mr. Forbes cannot be Justly accused of
dramaturgic dishonesty or of having re
sorted to melodrama to dron hi. fln-il
curtain. Ab for the "probabilities the
war turned up several cases, which met
w th much publicity, not all of It piti
less, of forgiven husbands, who erred
tinder wartime conditions So the play
t least Is not untrue to facts of life.
The play holds attention through the
lour acts, despite some structural d
lects It wavers in Its theme and man
ner, beginning n.i a satlro on post-war
oond tlons and winding un as a prob
Jem play of a sort. Probably only tho
expert will notico this, In view of the
speed of the situations and the fluency
and tang of the dialogue, but even tho
inexpert cannot fall to have a subcon
scious feeling that while Mrs, Fair is
the central figure of the first two acts,

A SECRET OF THE SEAS
Here's the Mermaid Who Does the
Movie Stars' Dives
When you seo your pet mov'e nctor
or actress doing nquatlc stunts, diving
fearlessly from ferries, bridges, nlr
planes, did It ever occur to you to won
deror didn't It?
In the chorus of the new musical com
edy, ' The Sweetheart Shop," which
opens at the Forrest Monday, Is a little
mermaid who nas taken the fancy dives
d 1 v n i uri
blonde whose script called for same She
Is Mlrs Charlotte StarbuckB.
Back In the Blograph da8 ahe became
known as an Intrepid little water nymph
In Annette Kellermann's "Neptune's
Daughter" and "A Daughter of the
Gods' she plaed parts ut fiilllcicnt im
portance to stand out and be remem
bered. She can entertain for hours with
amusing talcs of the difficulty of man
aging a mermaid's tall, of attempting
Lorelei roles under command of n di
rector who seemed to wot not of sting
ing eea Insects and of the discomforts
of disporting one's-self on sharp stones.
While waiting for the phycholog'cal
moment to come forth In tho movies
ngaln, Charlotte sings and dances In
The Sweetheart Shop."
WARWICK'S ACTING THEORY
! Star of "Dauntless Three" Never
"Plays Himself"
Robert Warwick, who returns to the
legitimate stage from moving pictures
'o be stnrred In "The Dauntless Three"
.it the Adelphl, has a theory of acting
which he hns t-uccess,fully tested over
slnre his Initial appearance on the stage
n I'JOt.
"My theory In short Is never to plav
mvself" said Sir. Warwick lately
"When I nm plavlng a part there stems
to be two of us. One Is an actor plavlng
the role and the other is a critic nnd
personal stage director, who watches tho
ithcr's performunco and directs It Tho
theatre Is a placo of Illusion. We do
not present real life In the theatre, but
an Illusion of life, if a woman cried
on the stage In the manner Bhc docs In
real life there would bo no cflect upon
tho audience.

PRAISE THAT COMES SPONTANEOUSLY
MESSRS. LEE & J. J. SHUBERT,
LYRIC THEATRE,
Philadelphia,
My Dear Sirs:
The people of Philadelphia are indebted to you for the opportunity
you are affording them, in having presented to them the play, "DADDY
DUMP LI NS."
A more wholetome and more enjoyable play than it has not been
seen on any of our loeal stages in many a day. In pathos and humot
it may well take its place alongside Warfield's "Music Master." The
tears it draws forth are quite aa frequent as the smiles and lauohtet
it evokes. There is not a dull moment in all its three acts. Whoso
ver loves children will love them all the more after seeing "DADDY
DUMPLINS." Whosoever comes to it with cares and troubles will
find that many of them have dropped with the final droppinn nf the
curtain. Whosoever has lost faith
after seeing "DADDY DUMPLINS," assured that right still prevail
Very truly yourj,
(Rev.) Joseph
