Criterion (Clin lies Frolnniin, mgr.) — MaliL'I unci Kditli Taliaferro, in Yntmfi Win- Stoat, a B BB Ht l y In tlm>u nclK, by Kac-bcl Crottacrs, produced Monday cviViln«, Jan. 5, under the Management of Joseph lirouka, With tills cast: Victoria ClnfTotiden 'Mabel Taliaferro Gall (JlnnVnrirn Kdlth Taliaferro Judge ClaflVnden Aubrey Itenttlo Mrs. ClanYndrn Mabel Bert Harry CluflVnilfti Junius .Mntt'iews Christopher Itmce llayward (iltin I'cter Van Horn Klcliard Sterling Max Norton llegnn IlugliHtun Jean, ii man servant i.'mls La llpy It Is seldom .that a straight comedy, and one with a purpose at Hint, becomes uproar- iously funny. Such rioliiiis litimor us the fun derived from the wedding rehearsal In t'jo drat Set of ••Young Wisdom," la usually confined to wlmt we have been pleased to term a fnrce, meaning situations, us it rule, contiguous only to the stage, and quite im- possible of oecurreiiee In leal life, lint the Munitions and dialogue of this up-tudate satire on trial marriage nie, fur the belter part, decidedly real und human, us well as exceedingly funny. The play opens on the eve of (jnll Claffen- den's marriage to 1'eler Van Horn, liall and her elder stater, Victoria, are Ihe daugh- ters of Judge ClnfTendi'ii, who has reared Ida dhlldren with every comfort and luxury 'hit the small Kusteru. city in which they lived could provide. At the beginning of Act One wn find Uicm both returned from college with their beads stuffed full of futurist nonsense, irlal imir- rlago Ideas, etc. Consequently, I'eter Van Horn, sss would marry Gail on the morrow. Is not the happiest man m the world, lacing of a weak and vacillating character, be la completely dominated by Uall, who, hi a mo- ment of pique. cled<Vs that she will not many lilm unless be gj away with Iter ai ?er the pernicious trial marriage propaganda bat It bits buon her misfortune to reed her youthful mind upon, which nonsejiclcnl Ideas her sister Victoria lias foolishly encouraged. After a short discussion in which (lull forces t'.\e Issue by flatly refusing to marry Peter, he yields helplessly, nnd aeeedlug to her demand, carries lier off for an auto trip. Where? Oil, anywhere. Just to be futuristic nnd different, you know. Hut I'eter before be leaves wltb Gall bus taken counsel of bis friend Chris. Bruce, sister Victoria's sweet- heart. Girls., In turn, Induces Victoria, to whom he is engaged, to run off nlso. Vic- toria is one of those Innocent mischief makerB who would make rules and laws for other people to -follow but who dislikes to follow her own teachings, lu other words, it is a ease of "do as I say" not "as I do," Wltb Victoria. The ©lopemcn.; idea proves a rather poor one when the quartette of young simpletons meet at tbe residence of Max Norton, where they all seek shelter for tbe night. Norton Is a dlscerntug chap, und It does not take him lon« to discover the true state of affairs. To think Is to act wllh Norton, who lands them nil homo In his auto lu short order. Having induced them to return ho decides to renin In. and relieve^ the rather tense situation. Of course Judge Cluffenden 1b furious, und his wife deeply grieved at the tincouvuutinnnl actions of their daughters end fiancees. After it stormy half hour, in which Oiill derides thnt she won't marry Peter after nil, and In which rerrlinlnntlon plays a large and humorous part, the play ends with another double elopement. Mother Is cnrrled along this time, as a chaperon. It is to he assumed. Poor old father Is left lit tbe lurch It would seem. The ending Is about the only Illogical thing in the whole play. But that Is 11 minor consideration. The piny Is there. It tenches a real lesson, hands the trial lunrrluge dreamers a resound- ing whack, nnd generally satirizes the ten- dency toward soul mating, uew thought, and all such tommy rot lu clever fashion. Mabel Taliaferro over plays as Victoria, whom nIio makes unconvincing nnd rather unnatural. Her noticeable mannerisms and KtnglncKH tend to mar a portrayal brilliant In spots. Kdlth Taliaferro hits a perfect conception of the role of (lull. She reads every line with n. clear understanding of what she Is doing. A delightful cinnicter- izntion. Aubrey Dcnttlo, as Judge Clnffcn- den. at times fulls to grasp the full meaning of the role. Otherwise ho Is acceptable. Mabel Uert lends to the part of Mrs. Clnf- feuden a wealth of human nature, she renders an exceedingly line performance lu a pathetic little scene In r-ie Inst net. Harry Claffendcn, played by Junius Mat- thews is tbe small town boy to the letter. He takes advantage of every opportunity and makes every one of his lines count. Wayward Glnn, n» Chris liruce. U up to the mark In the robs of Victoria's lover. Klelinrd Sterling, as Pctor V«u Horn, the lore-lorn youth, is simply Immense. Ills work Is a revelation In suppressed emotion. As a cihnraetor atudy it stands out brilliantly. ltegan Ilnghston. as Mux Norton, the artist who fixes things up and finally marries the Btiiborn little futuristic lady, Is well-nigh perfect In a fnt part. I/ouin Ia Hoy plays a French servant ex- actly right Tlio piny should bo a hicccsb of the llrst trade, judging from Its first night reception, tachcl Crotliers, the authoress, although ?lven ten or more curtain calls, acknowledged lie applause from the box In which she ;e- ■vlewrd the play, but refused to make the speech that was called for. Tbe settings, stage direction, etc., arc fully up to the Urondwny standard. Tbe play contains not n single linckneyed line or situation, and although trial mar- riage ha* been used as a theme by several playwrights, in this instance it' is treated lu n highly original manner.

"THE LEGEND OF LEONORA/' Empire (Thomas F. Shea, bus. mgr.)— The Lcycnd of Leonora, a fantastic comedy. In four acts, by J. M. Barrlc, produced by Charles Krohmnn on Monday evening, Jan. G, with this cast: Mr. Justice Orlmdyke Arthur Lewis Sir Roderick l'tnpety Morton Belten Captain Rattray, It. N Aubrey Smith Mr. Tovcy Fred. Tyler Mr Lebettor K. Peyton Carter Railway Guard Byron Silvers Foreman of Jury Arthur Fitzgerald Jurymun Walln?o Jackson Juryman James L. Carhnrt Messenger Edwin Wilson <!'crk Wlllnrd Barton Jjsher Stafford Windsor I 'oliecmnn George II, Hubbard Leonora Maude Adnms I.ady l-erlpely Kisle Clarens Mrs. Tovey Leonora Chippendale Maid Mary Murray It Is a little more than two years since Maude Adams played New York City, and a biliiliuit audience gathered ut tbe ultra- fnsnioiiiible Umpire on the above date lo wel- putitq her. And It was a welcome to be -e- inoi.ibercd. Miss Adams' vehicle .Is "The Legend of Leonora," which was produced in j.ondou wllh Mrs. Pnlrlck Campbell in the lending role. It was then called "The Adored Oi'.c." It Is by fur the most whimsical play Sir. Knrrle hns written, and one of the most humorous. Ho pokes a lot of fuo nt the Knglish courts, mid broadly and holdlv bur- lesques, the Justice, the prosecuting ntl'ornev, witnesses nnd jury. Lcouorn Is In the prisoner's bo*, crocheting a baby's stocking, iiiKi tbe Justice is npeutv admiring the fair end fascinating prisoner. The plav, of course, ends seriously, for Mr. Ilorrle reveals his molive wbeu he has the Justice say to Leonora : "You arc one of those around whom legends grow even In their lifetime. This Is the sort of thing you might have done bud your little girl had n cold. And this is how we migbt have acted bad you done It. "You arc not of to-dny—foolish, un-self- consdous, ronitminlcatlve, Leonora. Tbe ladles of to-day arc different nnd wiser. But as wc look longingly nt you we see again lu iheir bnblt as they lived, those out-of-date, unreasoning, womanish creatures, our mothers nr.d grandmothers and other dear ones long ago loved aud lost—and as If you were the hist woman, Leonora, we bid you hall and farewell." The legend concerns Leonora, a widow who, wllh Captain Rattray, nn explorer, arc guests at dinner given by the Toveys. The captain arrives n little early, and his host tells htm that seven tvpes of women will be at the table for dinner. A "real" woman, a "Suffragette," a "flirt," a "motherly woman," a "woman with a Bonse of humor." a "woman with too much tense of humor" and a "murderess." When Leo- nora, who Is, of course, a stronger to him, enters the room, he Is anxious to discover what type of woman she Is. The Captain soon learns thnt Leonora is tbe only woman guest and n combination of all the types described bv the host. Without a moment's hesitation she tells the Captain how she pushed a man from a railroad ear- ihgf because he insisted on having the win- dow open, despite the fact that her child was sick. She was out on bail and her trial would begin In a few weeks. Despite lier siory, Ihe Captain falls desperately in love with her. At the trial the Captain, who Is a lawvpr, defends her. It Is in the court scene thnt Barrlc hns his greatest fun. for witnesses nt.» made to He. the solicitor for the crown tells the Jury thnt be plnyed golf with the denn man after bis death. In fact, every- thing Is done to save Leonora. The Jury •>\cn wants her company when thev nrc de- riding upon tbe verdict—which, of course, is not guilty. This travesty on the Jury system eleclted much laughter, nnd the plnv ends nt Leon- ora's home wllh n pretty love scene between the Cnplnln and Leonora. While the play is admirable, much of its Mtecess will be due lo Maude Adams, whose performance Is rhnrmlng. Tender, sympa- thetic mid delightful is her Leonora. Her thousands of ndmlrers will love her in this new role, which Is different from anything she hns done In years. Arlhitr Lewis, ns the Justice, was splen- did and got a lot. of fun out of the part. The serious speech thnt falls to him was splendidly delivered. C. Aubrey Smith was manly, dignified and yo* Impetuous ns the Captnlu. The rest of the company have very little to do. The piece Ik excellently produced. The second week began Jan. 12. Kclccu. (OonUnucd on page 8).
