Variety (September 1921)

~t^-T-J ■* -» Frill fly, September 16. 1921 VARIETY 17 JACK LAIT'S REVIEWS is that 38 isn't too o'd to be young, to love BDd to live. The underHigned agreett with that heartily. He does not agree that 38 is "Indian Summer," **autumn," "belated spring" and some other flowery things that Mr. Thomas seasouH it to be, for there iH just a wee creak of rheumatics in the joints and the hair do grow a trifle thinniHh on the dome. But Miss llyan's hair looked auburn and nU there, and she didn't move like .umbago. Ho, maybe Thomas was right—righter even than the undersigned. The theme of the play, undercur- rent, is the tyranny of children. And in that either Mr. Pritchard or Mr. Thomas, or both, pitch a ringer. Only a parent can understanj the thought- less peonage which offsprings work upon* their adoring elders, who soon grow to 'ask peace at any price, cx- ^^„ punging their own careers and futures ing act follows immediately, and almost yn their combined capitulation and every opening act useii "acrobat's pidoration. music," which runs toward the difH- <jalt and crescendo, tcro.

Apparently a clean-up. The overture lasted about five min- •tes, and was a heavy elassic. GoDing after five or more reels of a very eerie and not especmlly en- tertaining Charlie Itay film, it might better have run toward jaaa or jingle. But the leoder has to have his bow, too This State orc|iestra', it may be said in passing, is OH <*»« » congrega- tion of musicians as any house has ever gathered into one pit. If a ▼audeville orchestra must play grand •pera, be this the one. Another arguaaent, however, against classical overtures, is that the open diflTerent here. With a crash of or ehestral apple-aauce. Jack and Foris were discovere<l on. It looked jug- gling. And so it wos—one man jug. gling another. For neat novelty tumbling, falling and surprise somer- saulting, this team of males need toss Its Tiandkerchief to none. The un- derstander works with the ease of a showgirl displaying a creation: the topmounter-underslider Is equally at case. They pulled plenty of laughs and applause. Worth any kind of Taudeville time. Fiske and Fallon's first few min- utes consisted of the Barr's and Briscoe and Rauh's stufT. inter- mingled. AVhen Miss Fal'.on let loose her calliope pipes, the act got gohig. After that she, shook the walls in a one.string imitation and other numbers, while Fiske strummed his guitar. The comedy lines might be more brilliant throughout. Miss Fallon has a valuable vaudeville voice —not extremely musical, but decide, ly unique in pitch and volume. It Eld stand some comedy support allusions without taking away n its impresfrlveness, and this would be preferable to the present attempts at laughs wrung from props and aged material. Her voice Is the the act. and the act should stick- around it. — Kome and Cullen, also, suffered from gags of no consciiuence and no cohereneo with the situation in hand.* Bome is tall and gangly, (\illen is a mite. There is some British wit that registers but miUlly. Wiien tlie danc iag begins, both men beina spdi^tly Btcppera, the act gets its belated start, and thereafter whissea along. The little chap ia n nimble and odd praacer, and the tall one gets it on hia eccentric figuro and hia lightness. They fiaiabed atvong. George Stanlej and Sister showed a gingerbread aet of drops and drapes and they talked and sang, single and '4a«ble, until Stanley pulled hia haajo. when they came to life for a few momenta. Even then he per. aiated ia deing -a lengtliy **comedy" Ht with such blunt references in tine aa ''How dt7 I an" and hootchy- whidi waan't half enough, he waa liked. The reat, save for a few blue giga in a churcb.social annoonciof talk, Buggeative of Chic Sales*, got Uttle. It was all abont Dixie, with yoi^alla and much atnff anent Ken* tadky and other places where miners* atrxkes and cotton famines make •|j«ven—for two-a^tB.

The pianist renders o lengthy finger exercise midwav in the •ct, which breoks it up and hurts its enectiveaess. No encore nsked or liven at the conchision. J q^ This might have been even more keenly silhouetted against the back- grounds of .smal.-town grey and mid- dle-aged auburn. It is a brilliant topic to play with dramatically. It does not find rtKclf underdone here, but it might yet—and \aluably — have dominated the p uy, building up its every fac- tor. - • The scenes are in tbe parsonage of an apparently prudish Methodist min- ister who has Ifft a downtown widow and two narrow children. How the little widow, whose youth has smold- ered latent under the ashes of so many years of banked fires, comes gradually again into g'ow and finally into flame ^with a great guy in the shape of a liusky college professor to blow on the embers with breaths of romance and manly love) is the yam that "Only 38" uuwinds. Mr. Forrest has staged it splendid- y^ The last act drags wearisomely, hut that seems due to thinness of ma- terial, as the pay Wright appears to have been pressed to fill out the short Ktory into the foil play. But it sus- tains, it develops and it keeps the vi- bration alive, without tAy tensity. The cast is, without a single jarring ex- ception, exce lent. Harry C. Browne, as the professor, is great. Ruth Mero. as the daughter, is strangely true all the time, and the youngster has force and shading and charm. Tercy I'ol- lock skima deeply of the gravy as a hearty, loveable old codger who never goes wrong in sentiment or in comedy. This little offering may hit the mid- dle bases hard. Anyway, it should stay a while and get a neat little road socrcas to follow. It ia a bear for stock, but wi 1 probdbly go begging in pictures beca«se liare la no known film star who wants to play 38.

The g08^el of the play when lious artfully caged aud when CriticB of this unuaual stage prea- entation must not get indignant in pointing oift the conspicuous fact that the story ia impoaaible. It haa been, through msny cdltloDff of each of the Tarzan novels, through all the film sliiwings of them—yet it started and has remained a foremost seller. The story is beyond the wildest ranges of plausibility, but it has been accept- ed. It has been glorified by millions. Therefore, the salient point in dfa- cussing the daring Broadhurat's dar- ing deed in showing Tarxan and his supporters—male and simion—in the flesh, is the moot i.ssue. N) one will gainsay that Kroad- hurst has unveiled two of the greatest practical jungle scenes in the history of stagecraft. Marvelous tangles of huge tropical growths, with trees that permit of heavy men climbing and swinging about and structures that they jump on the foliage that tht»y swing and honj? on. make tho.'»es two settings almost as incredible as the story, Ther'^ is a tang and a thrill in nioet- ing faro t«» face, in tliree dimensiuus. Tarzan - yes. three of him. for he is shown at various stages and ages, not to mention as a doll in the first and second scenes. Ronald Adair is a hicky youth, and many a woman will sigh to See him in his native wilds, hugging his ape foster-mother and wrestlinu trained lions and mut- tering guttral monkey-talj^ and car- rying on romantic monkey-bu?ineKS. It is stretching tile verities even as far as a Tarzan talc can stand iu show .lane teaching him Knglish so quickly and so tharmingjy that in half an art he is ready t » explain the Kinsteln theory, if not the Dar \vini:in one. Hut. who cares? There is Tar/an. There is the I'.ritish Mue- blood. living in trees and caves, fight- ing gorriilsN with bare hands. lo|iing about the overbrush. weeping upon the carcass of his slain antliropoid giant monks not so artfully camou- flaged, ylink and growl and shore their hairy pawa toward tbe fair heroine. There ia auspense, too, somewhat broken by acta that leave Tarzan. the one figure, across the world, while they kiyyaome plot in Kngland. There Were many children at the opening. Children will probably make this show if it to be made. The chil- dren love their Taraan. So do the women, who sa^ they ore going to please the children. It is a highly expensive experiment, and as a novelty stands out nioue so far in a season of light farces and indoor small-talk comedies. How it will travel is a mystery. Everything has to be set so 8oli<»Jy. The lions' cages are part of the scenery, etc. Edward Sillward, who ploys the immortal Kala, the ape who adopts the infant Tarzan when his mother is scared to death and his father is strangled by a ijovrilla. is a London pantomime player who has portrayed many kinda of animals. He is at times wierdly realistic. It is impossible for a human being—any human being—to act and look enough like a wild beast to be dramatically convincing,' espe- ially with lighta full-up as is the strange lighting scheme employed here. But Sillward attains enough ot the illusion to steal the sympathy the role asks and-^n which the play must r^st aa an essential. There are ten episodes, four acts and three scenes, painted by C^astle and built by Vail, who have done mas- terly construction and execution. Tliis was most necessary where so much weight was to be hung on the iinsTi- nalion by the narrative. The jungles certainly do look like junjles and act like them. One becomes com- pletely immerftd in them and takes them in full good faith. The staging of the Tarzan bits is in spots ringingly good, but in ot»»«"-R It even ttretchea the aet improbabili- ties of the main situations. The ecenea in England are awful, both in manuscript and in execution. Ano these occupy considerable of the eit- position, which it seems should have been avoided where no other interest could lie except that surrounding the wild boy and his African haunts. Tar zan's appearance in the last scene in "store clothes" is .i terrible disillu- sionment, and the "happy ending" is abrupt and funny, entirely missing conviction. • "Tarzan" was made wildly wild. That cost a lot of money and time and brains and^courage and handi- work. It aurely ahonkl not he undone after all that to reveal a thiok-necked stranger in a blue aerg« aiiit. talking with •n EnglitUi accent and nf>nnosinK to a girl Ijke a tame boor rather than "■•the WTige noMenuin he was.

It haa been the hiatorv of the stage that almost without exception eharactera vastly popular in the less visual forms have anrvired and some- times even enhanced their popularity when projected In the life. The list is endlesa—Ben Hiir, Rin Vnn AVinkle. Abraham TJncoln. Disraeli. Taeaar, Little Lord Fauntlerey. Black Beauty, Oliver Twist, Jesae James, <Jen. (jrant and Camille all "took" when an'mated '••oni the pages of fiction or history. Why not Tarzan who haa become as popular as any of thefe save .Tesse Jamea and Camille? Jq^ author finally arrived at the Kolutioo of his problem was funny. Mr. Devereux took the entire El- well matter aa tho basia of his^lay. That was material for a play but not quite the ploy he wrote. It was in reality juat a review of the entire case as printed in the daily papem with a little touch of the many theories offered. Now the question is is there still enough interest in the case general* ly? It might be a safe hazard to aa; "no." I<ut it is bar«»'y possible there will be enough public from fniong shop girls and others that patrun'ze the cut-rates to make it possible for The Elton I'ose" ta live on the IMoyhouse stage for a few we.'Ics. As n play it does not seem Jo have a chance. Mr, Broadhurst secured a fairl. goo<l cast to inlerpretate Mr. Devcr* eux's writings, i'hrystal Heme, feu* ture<l, played the heroine who com- mitted the crime, while liyron Beoa- ley as Elton gave a really clever per* formance as the bridge shark heavy. Likewise Jettn (toiidal as his accom* plice at the card table, n I'nrlsenno who waa naught but a business part- ner and who refused to be a love partner, was really n gem in the coat. Stuart Sage played the younger brother of the heroine and fille<l that role perfectly. It would be unfair to pass the performance without n word of praise for Florence Fair whose statuesque beauty made I^ady An* struther, a society personage who was loved and cast aside by Elton, quite genuine. As a police inspector and n district attorney, John F. Mor- rissey and Bernard McOwen failed to deliver, particularly the latter. *l'he play is \p four acts. Two aets are used. They are by far the beat thing there is about the play itaelf, other than the cast. Frcd B'WAY REMEWS THE ELTON CASE Donald Hnyaton... Robert Elton rhalren Ramsey..
