About This Season’s New York Productions ROBERT COURTNEIDGE’S LONDON SUCCESS “PADDY THE NEXT BEST THING” A Play in Four Acts. Novel by Gertrude Page. By Gayer Mackay and Robert Ord. Adapted from the Popular Produced Under the Personal Stage Direction of Robert Courtneidge. When “East Is West,”” which is certainly the worst popular success New York has ever seen, failed in London, we began to believe that London knew something after all. But after seeing ‘‘Paddy,’’ which ran for a season on the other side, we are forced to revise the opinion. It is a hopelessly obvious, utterly colorless bit of mediocrity, There is not a sipgle moment of dramatic suspense in it, and there are about as many real laughs as one can tick off on one’s fingers. However well it may have been done in London, it is most execrably played here. The thing reeks with falsity. of General Adair speaks like an educated English woman of the better class. One daughter Paddy, the other daughter, who is the next best thing to a son, has all the elocutionary mannerisms of a flat-mouthed fish wife, and talks not like a tomboy, but like a country clown. About the only thing she does not say is ‘‘Be jabbers’’ (pronounced just that way), which is sup posed to be the surest sign of real Irish. I don't know anything about Gertrude Page, who wrote the “‘popular’? novel from which ‘‘Paddy” is drafted, but she writes her Irish characters like a Maine schoolmarm. Surely some one is being spoofed when intelligent people are asked to believe that such a bore could be a success anywhere under the sun. In addition to all this the stage direction, announced as having been accomplished hy Mr. Courtneidge Limself, is an amateurish botch, with the exception of the train com partment section in the last act. Rileen Huban is cast as *‘Paddy,’® and plays her like a kitchen wenck. She should take a course from almost any one of the women members of the Irish Players in playing the role of an Irish girl with decent breeding as well as spirit. Cyril Scott is an ex¢ be desfred as does the play itself, which is just about everything.—PATTERSON JAMES, cellent actor in certain lines, but as the lover of tempestuous Paddy leaves as much to ; POSS SSSSSSSSSSSSOSSSSSSSSESSSSESSSSSOSSOSESESFOSOOCOOSOOOOD SLOT MACHINES—Mills’ O.
