IN "GRAND DUKE"
Carries Burden of French Play,
Which 8ems te Drag When
He Is Off Stage
Bread Philadelphia' made two new
acquaintances lout night when "The
Grand Duke" was presented : one, that
of Sacha Qultry, its talented French
author, the ether of Lionel A twill, as
a star instead of a leading man.
Following the rxamcte of the flrant
Duke Feeder Mlchaelevltch himself
when he said In regard te two pieces of
news, ."Tell the bad one Brut, se that
we can enjoy the geed one afterward."
M. Oultry's play must receive priority
mention.
Again It may be a case of "Where
ignorance were bliss," but the f net. re
mains that local theatre-goers hare been
given a very peer substitute for the
delicately beautiful "Deburau" in this
rather tenuous comedy about an exiled
Russian nobleman. Its excellences
censtat chiefly in some Imaginative pas
sages, some striking metaphercs and one
Imposing character. Constructively, It
Is wobbly, with a last act thnt gathers
up the pieces in the laborious manner
peculiar te second-rate French drama.
The "natural son"'theme, told with
some of the Mime twists that were con
talned in "Transplanting Jean.V seen
here last season, -was only effective, in
se, fsr as It brought out with Increased
strength the central character.
The adaptation by Acbmed Abdullah
was generally geed, though occasionally
lapsing Inte the phraseology of 'the
Kngllsh country manor. However, It
was free and fluent, which is a rarity
In adaptations from foreign tongues.
New te the geed news! Fer these
who did net see Mr. Atwlll's portrayal
of the famous clown, his "Grand Duke"
must rerne as a stunning surprise. Its
gutteral intonations, his Inimitable
"yls," his many nuances of dramatic
art built up a person of unbelievable
ferccfulness. Mannerisms, some of
them may have been, but they all
tended toward the creation of a very
real person.
When Mr. Atwlll Is off stage the
remedy drags lamentably. When he is
talking the paleness of the play ncqulres
a sudden flush.
The remainder of the cast is net up
te the standard set by him. Mnn Ar
barbanell is generally effective. Her
muslcnl comedy days gave her the nbilltv
te show seme signs of n voice; In the
music-lessen scene and in the second-act
bit with Atwlll she was superb. At
ether times hht became the la-la French
woman of musical comedy. Vivian Tobin
had the same mannerisms of, voice which
distinguished (or rather marred) the
work of Genlvlcve seen here earlier in
the year. Otherwise she was sufficiently
cute, and pert te be attractive. Jehn L.
Shine was the Englih landed squire
rather than the French bourgeelse nnd
Morgan Farley was sometimes geed, but
often grossly exaggerated in a "fat"'
part.
Mr. Ilclasce has failed sadly here. The
three scenes are cold and unattractive.
Lighting nnd scenery both are rather
commonplace. All of which delinquency
en the nart of Auther Guitrv. Pre-
ilucer llnlnsce nnd the Supporting Cant
puts n rawer Heavy burden en Atwlll's
shoulders. lie doesn't cringe.
FRED STONE BACKAGAIN
IN MS"TIP TOP" SUCCESS
...
Duncan ,81 ate re and Brown Brethers
Nearly Eclipse Star
Ferrest Fred Stene returned lest
night In "Tin Ten." his vehicle for the
last two seasons. Although it cannot
be said te compare with former Htenc
offerings "The Old Town" or "The
Red Mill" either musically or as a
setting for Stene's unique capabilities,
It Is a much faster and mere cnievnble
entertainment thnn when seen here a
year age at the start of its career.
Stene himself works hard, but nlalnlv
is handicapped by having te carry the
entire show en his own shoulders. Agile
ns ever and singing piffling lyrics in his
nearly musical voice, Stene did net seem
te reach himself until the clotting
moments of the show, when a whirlwind
dance with little Violet Zcll brought the
house te his feet. Ucfere that time the
Duncan Sisters, with their quiet method
of singing and their real klddlsh clown
ing, nnd the lirewn Brethers, with their
saxapliene melodies), bad put the star
into partial eclipse. But only partial.
Ah long as Fred Stene can swing n
lariat, can ride a horse bareback and
twist himself into Indescribable shapes
he will be the one and only Fred Stene.
"Tip Tep" attempts a story of a
search for a missing heir, but the story
is forgotten after the first few minutes.
It is taken up new and again, but only
faintly, when Stene is resting. With
me juncan sisters ana the) Hrewn
Brethers the sixteen Londen PaIaca
girls shared high acclaim for their agile
nancing. uempnreu witu tnese clever
English eirls the American cervnWu
were much better te leek upon when
net in action; But when the Britishers
dance well, twice they "stepped the
show," as the lobby hound says, in the
miuuie ei tneir numDers.

PETR0VA IS SEEN
IN 'WHITE PEACOCK'
Star of Stage and Screen Ap
pears at Adelphi in Remance
Frem Her Own Pen
Adelphi "The White Peacock" can
be added te the list of several plays
this season which have threatened te
talk themselves te death in the first act,
only te build up cumulatively in dra
matic force until, at, the Anal curtain,
they held the audience tense and end
with an effective and sudden climax.
But even this does net excuse the
earlier loquacious inactivity that almost
puts the audience out of humor for
whnt fellows.
Mme. Olga Pctreva, star of stage,
screen and vaudeville and one of the
iaslest of women te leek at, lent the
interest of her generously endowed per
sonality te most of the weak spetH et
the play and thereby made them less
conspicuous. The story Is from her
own pen and. It is said that she de
signed most of the scenery. If this
latter is true, it is dlslnctively ft
triumph for her. The three settings,
lusciously toned in rich color and lav
ishly rich In simplicity, gnvc mere than
a hint of the Jeseph Urban Influence
nnd that is as high praise as can be
given te settings.
The story Is of modern Spain, but
is of universal application lit its theme
showing the revolt et woman from the
old position of chattel nnd plaything te
her husband und her struggle for self
respect nnd the right te give, herself
only where her love Is given. The hus
band in this case Is as suave and
smooth and altogether believable a vil
lain as has bc.cn seen In mauy seasons,
and Leen Gorden made Ills cold-blooded
callousness and brutality se real that
he was heartily npplauaed even when
he made the audience hate him most.
E. L. Fernandez, as n connoisseur in
murders, the aide and' ce-vlllalii of the
lmsband, did a most notable piece of
character work. ' '
He is shown half-drunk most of the
time, und the actor's simulation of
this condition was almost startllngly
reminiscent of days new past nnd gene.
The scene between Fernandez nnd
Mme. Pctreva, which works up te the
climax, and In which she plays upon
his drunkennesM and habitual vanity te
wrest from him the secrets which clear
her lever from the charge of patricide,
was the outstanding episode of the whole
three acts. It was u splendid piece of
work en the part of both of them.
Taken as a whole. "The White Pea
cock" Is a geed play te have seen.
It is tee prone te epigrams and phi
losophy and the discussion of the struc
ture of modern society, the whole (.eem
ingly being summed up In the .statement
that the polutten of woman's problem
is a business or profession of her own.
nut when It leaves this nnd plunges
into its own action, and the people
really become Involved in plausible
complications, It moves ahead with mt
Isfylng speed, and its climax is well
arranged and net tee banal In Its open
ness nnd completeness. All the gore Is
spilled off-stage, and for this the au
thoress Is te be thanked.

these shots showing empty strcets.,sud

result is a perfectly appointed, nicely
acted and mnely directed film which
ought te be quite well liked.
The main fault, just ns true of the
stage play as It Is of the screen. In fact,
probably mere se. Is the theatricality of
the story and the preachlness of the
solution. Kven the painstaking nnd ar
tistic William De Mille couldn't re
move these defects. In bald subtitles
they stand out even mere objectionably
than as spoken sentences, but the wise
director has remedied this partially by
llttle touches of distinction in action
and setting.
It's all about n rich man who mar-
rles a telephone girl who doesn't love
him, but premises te try. nne does
her part, but his taste for liquor makes
him at times "a stranger te her" nnd
finally she repels him, ami he claims he
"bought and paid for her." Next
morning she leaves, after returning a
vast quuntity of jewelry. After a nec
essary' number of scenes the reconcilia
tion is effected..

Even if operated alone in the White Star Line's service
te Cherbourg and Southampton, the new 56,000-ten
Majestic, largest ship in the world, would bring te it a
commanding distinction.
But when this service includes, besides the world's
largest ship, the new 34,000-ten Homeric, whose luxuri
ous innovations were acclaimed en her first visit te New
Yerk this spring, and the far-famed and magnificent
Olympic, it becomes inevitably the chosen goal of lux
urious trans-Atlantic travel.
This service is no less remarkable for its regularity than for the
individual sire and splendqr of its ships. Travelers who formerly
waited an Olympic sailing date te channel ports may new sail
any week en one of these great ships.
Regular weekly sailings te Liverpool via Quccnstewn with the
Adriatic, Baltic, Celtic and Cedric, each ever 20,000 tens. This
service appeals especially te families and tourist parties. Yeu

and the Mountains of North Wales.
With our long experience in operating famous trans-Atlantic
liners, we maintain standards of distinction en every voyage and
cruise. Booklets and detailed information sent en request.
