Re-Reviews of This Séason’s Broadway Successes (Done After They Have Gotten Under Way) Seoeeoeeoooe MESSRS. LEE AND J. J. SHUBERT Present “THE DANCER” By Edward Locke pronounced success achieved by its and deservedly. It the fourth has unquestionably hit Broadway’s fancy— has an interesting story of Bohemian life, told with excellent and unhackneyed skill, and its content is worth while. Tho not a great play, it is, as the present season’s offerings go, an acquisition—an asset among a lot of total losses. Perhaps it is a little highly sexed for some tastes, but at least it is honestly so. Ralph E. Cummings staged it, and, altho he is still tinkering with it, it would seem is not satisfied with his accomplishment. Neither are several of the critics, but in simple truth the shortcomings which seem ; to lie at his door appear to the writer to be most chargeable to the This production, author, players. Jose Ruben does a convincing and highly realistic entrepreneur, Effingham Pinto an excellent blind musician, and William Morris gives just the right touch to a family-proud clubman and man of affairs, but Richard Freeman caricatures rather than portrays a New England constable, Isabelle Lowe renders a blurred rather than sharp portrait of a danseuse—a sort of composite portrait of many rather thanof a particular one, and John Halliday’s work as her suitor lacks warmth and ardor, as her doubting husband is wanting in subtility and sincerity, and, as the penitent spouse in the last act, falls down in expressing remorse and contrition. Both Miss Lowe and Mr. Halliday score excellently in several episodes and passages. 30th unquestionably order, but it is not uniformly tions are spotty and uneven. They seem to be trying to realize another person’s conception of their roles rather than their own, and the result is vague feeling for effect instead of ready and confident attack.
