32 JMfcWWfcWie-aHT December 31, ^919 pnr gets favor L . Loromr, Dae. 15.—"Mr. Pim Passes By," th* pUy in which Georgette Cohan, daughter of Ethel Levey and Gfnijte H. Cohan, is making her debut on the stage, opened at the Gaiety Theatre in' Man- cheater last week and scored an undoubted success. The piece is a comedy in three acta, written by A. A, Milne. Dinah is the niece and wardof George -Maiden and has fallen in love with a painter, Brian Strange. ■ Marden, however, refuses to grant his approval of Strange when the latter requests it, so as to enable Dinah to become his fiance. Olivia, Marden's wife! ia in favor of the match, bat also fails to gain her husband's consent. Olivia and Marden have been married for five years, the marriage being Olivia's second venture. She waa .formerly mar- ried to an adventurer by the name of Tel- worth, who led her an unhappy life. He waa compelled to leave WnglHltfT for Aus- tralia and, sometime later, Olivia read a newspaper clipping of his death. Soon after she and Marden were married. It ia at the time that Marc?-* refuses his consent, even after bis wife s request, to Dinah's engagement, ' that Mr. Pint passes by. After getting into conversa- tion with Dinah, she, being an open- hearted girl, tells him Olivia's history, mentioning the name of Telworth and also tens her own troubles. Later, when talk- ing to Marden and Olivia, he mentions that he has just come back from Australia, and, while there, had met a swindler by the name of Telworth. They question him and are confident that Telworth is still alive, and that Olivia is married to two men, having unwittingly committed bigamy. After a lot of excitement, which Olivia treats jokingly and in which the entire family 1 take part; Mr; Pim, who'left. the house for a while, returns and tells them that he bad given the -wrong name, absent- mindedly, in mentioning Telworth and' that -it was Dinah's confidence which has im- pressed the name on his mind. All-are happy again, and George Marden proposes that he and Olivia ran ap to the registry office and hafre-nikrried. In the meantime, she is to beV regarded' as an engaged lady. However, she appears to.be .undecided as to" whether she : should re-marry Marden again** and/ by -her apparent indecision, wins Marden's consent, to Dinah's engage- ment. ''.' Ben Webster as George Marden gave a good performance. Dion Boncicault, as Mr. Pirn, handled the comedy of the play excellently. Georgette Cohan has won wide praise through her characterization, of Dinah and the others who are in the east and do very well are Irene Tanbrugh as Olivia, Sybil Carlisle as Lady Marden, Philip Easton as Brian Strange and Ethel Wellesly as Anne.
