Dublin Gate theatre outfit may liave a reputation in Ireland but w certainly was riot lustrous in its Broadway debut. It will have to do better to stick around. Certainly the selection of Shaw s "John Bull's Other Island" as a starter was not a happy choice; it shcpws the visitors af a disadvantage both in acting and in the direbtonal department. The play is very long, quite repetitious and ailords too few laughs. The fact "Island" was never brofesisionaUy played here, except for two WieelB by the late Arnold Daly's- repertory in 1905, tabs it as one of Shaw's lesser works. . Author's penchant for loquacity is •well known, of course, and while most of his plays are brilliant, in this instance the lines sparkle only here and there. It's a comedy of types, nearly all Irish, and much more mirth than the meagre meas- ure handed out was expected. Be.st first-night laugh came from an Eng- lish valet when.he opined: "Thfe Irish «rc aU right except in their own country." Most of the locale is Boscullen, a Bcragely section of Ireland,, to which 'I)oyle it Broadbent, realty promoters billed as "engineers" come from Iiondon witli plans to turn: the place into a" garden city. Larry Doyle (like Shaw) quit his native land land is not so sanguine of success there as is tais partner, Tom Broadbent. He's not.so hot al)Out going taRoscullen anyho\*, aware that N,orah^ReiUy is still wait^ jng for him, only now, instead of be^ ipg a colleen, she's a spinster. She's been waiting for Iiarry, 18 years Conversation with the localleaders deals with .home-: rule and ' other problems prevalent in Ireland then but no longer pertinent. Anyhow, vrithin a day Broadbent has talked 'himself into a candidacy for Parlia- " ■mettt &nd'doe's his partner a favor •■ by aafking Noral\,'to wed him'. ■ -To curry favor wi^h the people, • Tom oilers to carry a pig in his new car over to a poor., farmer. The. squeals of the prop pig come through . « loudspeaker which also dispenses, native tunes.- The prop car, of -the 'dustcoatrand-goggle period, is barely seen. The scene .is accompanied by a hullabaloo that covers up a tjrpe of staging that is more amateurish than professional. Same. go,es when Tom &ter'explains how come the t>ig was killed, Hilton Kdwards,' who staged the play and appears as Tom, is starred with Micheal MacLiammoiri -who is Ziarry. Latter is also seen in MacLi- - ammoir's "Where Stars 'Walk," which replaces the. Shavian play currently. Meriel Moore, who is Norah, should have a better chance, too. Edward Keegan, as a rather daft^but scholar- ly ex-priest; Denis- Brennan, Roy Irving, Bryan Herbert and Liam Gannon aee best among the others. ■ Ibee. try in New York last season, is de- voting' most of the current season to road tburs. Including college and school appearances. However; Jts also playing a limited engagement on ■ Broadway, offering two-week runs each of Ibsen's "Ghosts" and "Hedda Gabler," at the Cort. ,^ The present production of ' Ghosts uses a translation by the star, Eva Le Gallienne, and it's staged by Mar- garet Webster. The "Hedda Gabler' presentation, will star and be di- rected by Miss LeGallienne. Both dramas otter challenging parts for a femiyie star and both involve re- latively small casts and simple set- tings. Miss te Gallienne's ti-anslation of "Ghosts" seems unusually direct and vital, although some of its passages are a bit repetitious. The star-her- self gives a forceful, impassioned performance in this first portrayal of the Mrs. Alving-role. It is one of her best- nerformances in. Some time, thduglTthe actress' playing is limited by her increasing use of her familiar mannerisms, including both physical gestures and tricks of voice. Alfred Ryder is generally accept- able as the son, Oswald. .Herbert Berghof is emphatic as the sancti- monious Pastor Manders. Robert Emhardt's early scenes as Engstrand are excellent, but he mugs through the final scenes. Jean Hagen is propr. erly red-blooded" as the maid, Reg- ina. WatSon Barratt's single setting is suitably sombre. Although the surface theme of Ghosts" is badly dated by niodern medical knowledge, its basic attack on hypocrisy and willful ignorance has contemporary application. Some of Ibsen's dramatic techniques are antiquated, however. It might be in- teresting to see Miss Le Gallienne in a modern,- non-costume play again. How many years has it been since she tried one?. •. .- Hobe. MMdy of Fatima Blaoktriars Guild production ot drama In two-actd by Rev. Urbah Nagie. - Staged-by Dennis Gumey.

That it will hit the jackpot for this semi-pro group is evidenced by fact that, house has been practically, sold out in advance for the six-week run. Play resembles theme of- "Song of Bernadette". Locale is the little town of Fatima, Portugal, circa 1917, when three youngsters, two girls and a boy, see the Lady of the Rosary. Not unlike Bernadette, who has a similar vision at Lourdes, France, their story is disbelieved by parents and towns- folk, and they're subjected to inqui- sitions to point out torture until the Lady reappears again in a cavern to substantiate their story. An epidemic takes two of the children but the older girl lives on as a nun to pro mulgate the devotion of the rosary for world peace. "Fatima" is played with earnest- ness and sincerity by a large cast, especially Naomi Mitty, Anna Stubits and Edward Villela for their por- trayals of the children chosen to re ceive The Lady. Rest of cast does standout jobs. Dennis Gurney has neatly staged, and David Reppa's lighting and sets, plus Irene Griffin's period costuming, also fit the play's needs. Edba..

Subject matter here, dressed up in melodrama and hokum, is only confusing-r-sometimes dull, some- times a little interesting. Its success is doubtful. Play's authorship itself is intri- guing, credited as it Is to one Joseph L. Estry and reported actually to be the work of Dr. Maxwell Maltz, N Y. plastic surgeon with a penchant for angeling plays. Don A^iel, the di- rector, is also credited with a revise assist. The play is about a plastic surgeon —money-mad, social-cllmbli-ig—who stumbles onto a cancer-arresting serum while doing tissue research. He plans to sell the serum to a medi- cine manufacturer for a huge fee in- stead of donating it to humanity through a clinic. Love for a labora- tory assistant, who permits herself to be a guinea-pig on the serum ex- periment, helps him to decide finally to be the humanitarian and give up a plush private plastic practice for a researcher's job. ; Theme has its possibilities, and there are a couple of scenes between young doctor and the femme terbni- cian that are quite moving and sus- penseful. But the play doesn't pre- sent its thesis clearly and is further barnacled by cheap comedy gadgets and stock- farce characters. The dia- log, though often good and convinc- ing, is at other times phoney and cheap. Dean Jagger does hardly more than a perfunctory job as the avaricious young surgeon. But Haila Stoddard is quite impressive as the scarred technician who lends herself to the doctor's experiment and rehabilitates him ethically. Al (Gallagher and) Shean has a good supporting role as jarch scientist; Ronald Alex- ander also satisfies as the doctor's assistant, and Donald Foster, as med- ical trust head, and Eda Hjeine- mann, as the surgeon's secretary, are convincing. Mae Questel, as a pa- tient, and Drake Thorton, as the sec- retary's brash son, «r6 a little trying in farcical roles. : Apel's staging is' satisfactory un- der the circumstances, while Stew- art Chaney's three-part set is quite striking.

Cer- tainly it came into Philly for its preem without any undue advance shouting, bucked a.threatened traffic strike and miserable weather, drew topnotch notices and is now building steadily into the smash-hit class.. "Me and Molly" is one. of those kind of shows that tend to annoy crix who insist on a high degree of artiness. This comedy at the Locust has enough corn in its makeup to supply food for a political cop- roast, and there's absolutely nothing new or Striking in its. whole setup. Cliches are scattered about in abun- dance, laughs are punctuated with surefire, tearjerking interludes,; the characters as weU as the business are all true and tried familiars. How- ever) it all sums up to good, "homey' entertainment, and it has been pre- sented so slickly as regards players and direction, and has such a straightforward, sympathetic ap- proach, that it looks as if ■ it has plenty of boxoflice in its makeup provided the aisje-sitters don't de- scend too heavily on It. Twenty years and more ago there was seldom a theatrical season that failed to produce two or three Jew- ish character pieces, generally in dialect. "Potash and Perlmutter" was a big money-getter in its day, and there were such others as "Partners Again," "Light Beers and Wines,r' "Welcome Stranger" and a flock of others. In those days, too, there was a substantial groupi of talented players ii\ this field, ranging from the Louis Manns and the David Warftelds, down through the Ber- nards, the Fieldses, Solly Wards, Sidneys and the rest. Of late, there have been very few of such loot- Itght offerings. That may mean that the time is ripe for a good entry, or ft may mean - that present-day playgoers aren't interested in this product of a past era, but certainly attendance and reception for , "Me and Molly" here has been close to enthusiastic. Gertrude- Berg, famous as author and star of "The Goldbergs," popular airwaves serial for many years, has authored "Me and Molly," and al- though in a new medium she has done a swell job. One thing that should be noticed, too, is that her play has none of the possibly con.' troversial qualities tied up in "Abie's Irish Rose and which were scored so heavily in the recent film version of "Abie." Miss Berg's play, while not ever subtle, doesn't have the broad, unblushing strokes of carica- ture that annoyed so many people in the Ann Nichols' piece. Miss Berg has done what seems like a clever thing in taking, the time of her play back to a now- almost-fabulous period—1919—when her famous Goldberg family first moved up to the Bronx. This makes, of course, for atmosphere, permits more leeway in sentimentality and certainly doesn't hurt the folksiness of the play. The main plofr-if any—is thin to the point of tenuousness, especially when you start to retell it, but re- inforced by associated incidents, characterizations, pieces of business, slants on human nature, it fills an evening without every cloying or dragging and, at the same time, has no tinge of racial conflict or contrast. Not only does Mrs, Berg score in her first attempt at playwriting but she also manages to click solidly in the role of the warm-hearted, shrewd, understanding Molly Gold- berg, which, as far as followers of the radio serial were cbncerned, probably didn't come as much of a surprise. Molly's judicious handling Of her husband Jake, who is some- thmg of a problem with his tempers and his other oddities, provides much of the comedy's appeal. In- cidentally, it is this same Jake's plans about going into business with his friend Mendel, as his dress de- signer, which sparks whatever plot the show has. Philip Loeb, although not too sate of his lines the opening night, proves an able Jake, a role, by the way. far apart from the glib, wise-cracking parts he's been playing of late. Eli Mintz provides a fine character por- trayal as Uncle David, Joan Lazer is good as Rosie, and Louis Sorin is capital as scheming Cousin Simon. Whole cast; lor that matter, is out of the top drawen Xhftt goes very decidedly, too, for Ezra Stone's canny and .splendidly-paced direc- tion. For all its naive aspects and that cribful of corn, "Me and MoUv" has undeniable b.o. appeal, ' Wof ers. My Itomance New Haven, Feb, 12, Messrs.

' In its present state, "My Romance" seems headed for an early blight. Premiere was a combination ot certain onlookers taking the air in midstream while others held their seats for several curtain calls. Opti- mistic aspect was that latter pre- dominated. There is nothing quite like "Romance" on Broadway today, which should improve its chances it the creaks are removed properly. Despite a number of liabilities that contribute a wet-blanket effect, this musical version of the Edward Shel- don play, which starred Doris Keane 35 years ago, has a quality about it that, makes an audience want to like it. That desire is only partially grati- Aed, but the response, is encouraging enough to warrant rolling up pro- duction sleeves in an earnest effort to whip the play- into better shapis for popular consumption. Its early road tryout will probably not get a too- enthusiastic reception, but a six- Week pre-Broadway. experimental peiriod should allow, ample time to hit the right answer, provided sage doctoring gets a free hand. , In laying this one on the boards, staging has veered from standard ap- proach to a musical and has con. centrated more on the scripts,dra- matic angles. It is over-emphasis on these angles which constitute^ tne play's" major deficiencies as of its premiere. Arid stretches of dialog, some of it on the sophomoric side, are 'rescued only by insertion of a vocal oasis. There is a tendency to overwrite dramatic scenes, words continuing to pile up long after the author has brought out his particulai; point. Through a present day prolog- epilog combmation with the main- play flashback, staging includes both modern and 1890 techniques. It is in latter department that direction en- counters a stumbling block. In telling the story of the unful- filled romance between Mme. Kiia Cavallini. opera diva, and the young clergyman, Tom Armstrong, produc- tion has set an appealing mood in a prolog which has the bishop about to relate to his grandson the story oi his romance in order to guide ttie boy in the selection of his own mate. This mood is again emphasized m an epilog that brings curtain down on an impressive reverie that makes an excellent finale. In between these two areas there is a fertile field for a strong sentimental buildup, particu- larly from the woman's angle, but as yet this territory has not been prop- erly exploited. . ^ Score, an integral portion oi me story itself rather than merely a coi- (Contlnued- on page 52) SECRETARY, or Valet, chauffeur, personal agent manager, guardian, tutor (Inci, lu- mauce languages and Spanish^, wiui acctg.-engrg. bkgrd.
