LIONEL STRONGFORT PhvrieolanJ Health Specialist Department 290 Newark, New Jersey Stage Plays That Are Worth While (Continued from page 6) Park. — "Erminie." An elaborate revival of the old-time musical comedy, with Francis Wilson and DeWolf Hopper as the principal attractions. Playhouse. — "Romance." Doris Keane, in her adorable characterization of the temperamental diva in Edward Sheldon's finely written drama, "Romance." Admirably revived. Princess. — The Provincetown Players in Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones." Everyone should see O'Neill's remarkable study in primitive fear. Very well acted. Plymouth.— "Little Old New York." Rida Johnson Young's delightful but fragile little romance of New York in 1810, with John Jacob Astor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Peter Delmonico and Washington Irving among its characters. Genevieve Tobin runs away with the piece — and scores one of the biggest personal successes of many seasons. Here is a Maude Adams in the making. Punch and Judy. — "Rollp's Wild Oat," with Roland Young. Light and frothy comedy in Clard Kummer'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. Selwyn. — "The Prince and the Pauper," with William Faversham. New adaptation of that interesting Mark Twain fantasy of boyhood in Merrie England of the old days. Well staged by Rollo Peters and acted with considerable spirit, particularly by Mr. Faversham. Shubert. — "Greenwich Village Follies of 1920." Gorgeous and beautiful, typical of John Murray Anderson productions. Here is a musical entertainment with imagination and charm. James Reynolds has created some remarkable scenes and costumes and the whole ensemble is vivid and colorful. Thirty-ninth Street. — "Samson and Delilah," with Ben-Ami. A fairly interesting play given the breath of life by the most promising new figure on the stage since Jack Barrymore became John Barrymore. Ben-Ami is making his step from the Yiddish stage and his first appearance in English. His debut has been sensational. Ben-Ami is given excellent support by Pauline Lord and an admirable bit is contributed by Edward G. Robinson. Times Square Theater. — "The Mirage," with Florence Reed. Edgar Selwyn's drama of New York's easiest way : the tale of a country girl who comes to the white lights and forgets her ideals. Miss Reed plays the girl. Vanderbilt. — "Irene." Now on its 'steenth season and likely to run on forever. Charming and pretty musical comedy with an appealing story. Patti Harrold, daughter of Orville Harrold, is now the Irene, and she is delightful. You will hear more of her. Locw's N. Y. and Loeitfs American Roof. — Photoplays; first runs. Daily program.
