A SStli St CHICAGO Stage Plays of Interest ( Readers in distant towns will do well to preserve this list for reference ’when these spoken plays appear in their vicinity.) Belasco. — “The Return of Peter Grimm,” with David Warfield. Another interesting David Belasco revival, marked by the usual perfect detail of presentation. Mr. Warfield gives a compelling performance of a spirit. Booth. — “The Green Goddess,” with George Arliss. William Archer’s adroit melodrama, revolving around a merciless rajah of a mythical land in the mountains north of India and an accident which drops two Englishmen and an English woman from an aeroplane into his power. Finely staged and played. Casino. — “Tangerine,” with Julia Sanderson. A pleasant and entertaining musical comedy with scenes revolving between that alimony center, Ludlow Jail, and an isle in the South Seas, where the women do all the work. Color and tinkling music. Eltinge.— “Back Pay,” with Helen MacKellar. A play by Fannie Hurst, with the highly promising Miss MacKellar in the leading role. Interesting. Empire. — “Blood and Sand,” with Otis Skinner. Dramatization of Ibanez’s novel of the career of a toreador. Catherine Calvert in the leading feminine role. Fulton. — “Liliom,” the Theatre Guild production of the Franz Molnar “legend.” A remarkable and brilliant satire, tinged with the Old World cynicism of Molnar. Moves between the here and the hereafter, with a scene in the beyond. Eva Le Gallienne stands out of the cast, while Joseph Schildkraut plays the name part. Dudley Digges is an excellent Sparrow. Well worth seeing. Harris. — “Six-Cylinder Love,” with Ernest Truex. The season’s biggest sell-out and a real hit. Presenting the amusing problems of a young couple trying to live up to their car. Plenty of laughs. Klaw. — “Nice People.” Starts out to be a satire on the loose living younger smart set and proves to be an entertaining, if conventional, drama. Francine Larrimore shines as the heroine who sees the evil of her ways. Knickerbocker. — “The Merry Widow.” A revival of the once world-popular Franz Lehar operetta. The present revival is not particularly distinguished, however. The old dash and color are lacking. The leading roles are in the hands of Lydia Lipkowska, Reginald Pasch, Jefferson de Angelis and Raymond Crane. Lyceum.— “The Easiest Way,” with Frances Starr. Interesting David Belasco revival of the vivid Eugene Walter drama of New York’s tenderloin. One of the hig plays of the last twenty years. Lyric. — “The Three Musketeers.” The United Artists presents Douglas Fairbanks in the famous D’Artagnan role of the Dumas story. Undoubtedly, Doug proves himself in this attractive special production. Maxine Elliott’s. — “The Silver Fox,” with William Faversham. An admirable comedy by Cosmo Hamilton, written with keen satire and humor. Of a blundering author, a philandering wife and an idealistic poet. Splendidly acted by Violet Kemble Cooper, who scored last season in “Clair de Lune”; Mr. Faversham, Lawrence Grossmith, who gives a portrayal of superb sublety ; Ian Keith and Vivienne Osborne. Palace. — Keith Vaudeville. The home of America’s best variety bills and the foremost music hall in the world. Always an attractive vaudeville bill. Plymouth. — “Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting.” Marjorie Rambeau in a new play by Zoe Akins, author of “Declassee.” A story of artistic Bohemia and a woman’s problem. Miss Rambeau gives a splendid performance in an emotional role. Republic. — “Getting Gertie’s Garter.” Another thin-ice farce by Wilson Collison and Avery Hopwood, this time with a daring scene in a barn. If you do not mind blushing, you will be amused by this piece, which has an interesting cast, including Walter Jones and Dorothy Mackaye. Schuyn. — “The Circle,” by W. Somerset Maugham. The most brilliant dramatic importation of the season. A sparkling and distinguished comedy of domestic misunderstandings, moral codes and human frailties. Finely played by Estelle Winwood, John Drew, Mrs. Leslie Carter (who makes a return to the stage in “The Circle”), Ernest Lawford, John Halliday and Robert Rendel. Dont miss “The Circle.” Shubert. — “The Greenwich Village Follies of 1921.” John Murray Anderson’s latest revue, but not quite the equal of its two predecessors.' Does not attain the heights of beauty and imagination achieved by the others, altho there are several gorgeous and colorful scenes. Still, it is ’way above the revue average. Beautiful girls move thru the glowing interludes, while the hit of the revue seems to go to Irene Franklin, altho Valodia Vestoff and others dance attractively. Times Square. — “Honors Are Even,” with William Courtenay and Lola Fisher. A fair, if frail, little coined}' by Roi Cooper Megrue, presenting the duel between two people who love each other but wont admit it. Mr. Courtenay and Miss Fisher are the lovers, while Paul Kelly makes a small role of a callow lad stand out. On Tour "The Blue Lagoon.” Lavishly staged melodrama'of two children shipwrecked on a desert island. Motion pictures have destroyed the possibilities of this sort of footlight offering. " Welcome Stranger,” Aaron Hoffman’s story of a Shyloek in a New England town. Presents the battle of Jew and Gentile in a way that the Hebrew gets much the best of it, teaching a whole town kindliness and religious toleration. George Sidney is excellent as the twentieth century Shyloek. "Ladies’ Night.” About the most daring comedy yet attempted on Broadway. This passes from the boudoir zone to the Turkish bath on ladies’ night. Not only skates on thin ice, but smashes thru. "The Broken Wing.” A lively and well worked out melodrama of adventure below the Rio Grande. The opus of an aviator who falls in Mexico, thereby losing his memory and his heart, the latter to a dusky senorita. Full of excitement. "Mr. Pirn Passes By.” Theatre Guild production of a pleasant English light comedy by A. A. Milne. Features the delightful work of Laura Hope Crews. "The Champion,” with Grant Mitchell. A lively farce comedy of an aristocratic British family’s returned prodigal, who turned out to be a pugilist. Fairly amusing. "Wake Up, Jonathan,” with Mrs. Fiske. An attractive and distinctly out-of the ordinary play by Hatcher Hughes and Elmer L. Rice. Splendidly played by Mrs. Fiske. The Provincetown Players in Eugene O’Neill’s “The Emperor Jones.” Special matinees only. Everyone should see O’Neill's remarkable study in primitive fear. Very well acted. "Miss Lulu Bett,” built by Zona Gale around her own novel. A remarkable play constructed about a soul rebellion in a small town. Rife with idealism. Very well played and well worth seeing. "Rollo’s Wild Oat,” with Roland Young. Light and frothy comedy in Clare Kummcr’s typical sketchy style. The story of a young man who wants to do Hamlet, and what comes of his ambition. Replete with fancifully humorous lines. Excellently done by Mr. Young, Lotus Robb, Dore Davidson and J. M. Kerrigan. ( Continued on page 8) (Sir)
