PUaseetateaQC. ***& THE LANDON SCHOOL 402 National Bide* > Cleveland, O. Stage Plays That Are Worth While (Continued from page 6) 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. — "Rollo's Wild Oat," with Roland Young. Light and frothy comedy in Clare 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. Ritz. — "Mary Stuart,'" by John Drinkwater. An interesting and colorful drama, dealing with the career of Mary, Queen of Scots, by the able author of "Abraham Lincoln." Has literary as well as dramatic value. Preceded by an admirable curtain-raiser in pantomime. 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. Winter Garden. — "The Passing Show of 1921." Typical Winter Garden entertainment. On Tour "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 and prominent in the cast are Alan Dinehart, Malcolm Williams and Florence Nash. "Jimmie." The pert little Frances White's first starring vehicle and a rather lame musical entertainment. Miss White introduces several typical gamin numbers and her surrounding company includes Ben Welch and Harry Delf. "Mecca." A gorgeous and elaborately colorful "mosaic in music and mime" of ancient Egypt along the line of "Chu Chin Chow." "Mecca" achieves several rarely beautiful moments in the ballet interludes created by Michel Fokine. A huge cast and fourteen scenes. "Kissing Time." Slender musical entertainment with William Norris and Edith Taliaferro featured. "Tickle Me." An Arthur Hammerstein earlj' autumn show, with the amusing Frank Tinney starred. Considerable fun, some tuneful music and a very personable chorus. Likewise, gorgeous costuming. Loan's N. Y. and Loew's American Roof. — Photoplays; first runs. Daily program.
