Ad* 7600 The entire production was excel- lently directed. The settings and costumes did much to enhance the beauty of the play, and no small part of. the credit <or the production belongs to Hollo Peters. The production is done in practically one set, the flats being capable of being shifted in such a manner as to create almost any setting desired. The opening per- formance ran well, though with somewhat more hitches than some of the premieres recently seen here. Dolly Jordon is a good but not a great play. Its chief weaknesses lie in undeveloped characterization and mechanical construction. With its present artistic production and uniform good acting, it will have a certain attraction for the better t lass of draw. e BurtofC DOLLY REFORMING HERSELF Boston, Sept. 27.

Y. atre in this city and will again when the building has been recon- structed and made ready for them, opened the Fine Arts theatre, located in the interior of Lcew's State the- atre. This house is able to seat 650 persons and was placed Inside the big picture house with the idea of leasing it for tho presentation of attractions that would not be able to take over one of the downtown legitimate houses but at the same time would be such a standard that tho complete equipment of a the- atre would be necessary. It is the local belief that such a theatre will go here, but the tenancy of the Henry Jewett Players is understood to be but temporary. The vehicle chosen by the Jewett Players for the premiere of their 1922 season and the opening of the house is a show that had never be- fore been acted in this country. It was written by Henry Arthur Jones, and while first produced at the Hay- market theatre, in London, in 1908, was never considered important enough to import. As it ran off Monday night there was nothing to indicate that tho producers had overlooked a bet in passing it up for the regular stage. It is a com- edy of the satirical type—one that is well adapted to the company that played it, but one that would be without great attraction for the ordinary theatregoing public. Jones has built his comedy around the belief on the part of one-of the characters that certain portions of the brain control an Individual and that there is no ouch thing as a free wlil. His daughter starts out to prove there is such a thing, and with this in mind starts the work of reforming herself and everybody in her immediate circle. •The story is long on conversa- tion, and has few registering points.

COLONIAL (Continuod from page 21) imized through the long running time with the orchestra solo played as accompaniment to the "Topics" reel. William Ebs reopening the second half was the second that evening to stop procedings due chiefly to the surprise introduction of the midget who has been camou- flaged in the prop table. Although Ebs' ventriloquism sounded too clear and natural, ho dispelled any suggestion of suspicion by removing the dummy's head, etc., so that the final disclosure of the midget came as a real surprise. The house was pleasantly fooled and took It good naturedly bringing tho Lilliputian out for a solo in "one."t Blossom Seeley assisted by I3en- nie Fields and Co. showed ( the natives how to properly sell a pop number and some snappy stepping. Harry Stover and Warner "Gault are in the support, the former probably' the singer and Mr. Gault the pianist. The singer also essays a snatch of dancing ever and anon In company with Miss Sooloy and Fields but his terp work betrays him for a good singer—that's all. Tho pictures would be the more effective through dual work between the star and Fields. The latter has an nir and a dash about him that chimes in with Miss Seeley'fi efforts effec- tively. Part of the audience alio seemed to remember Fields for th< "blues" doggerels he once did and wherever he came down in the apron for a solo there was an exp«'< tant smattering of applause. Jack Wilson, black-faced, opened proceedings by dragging on Miss Beeley for a snatch kiss bit, ln- eRIentally corking her face in the process. Th" familiar .lack Wilson nonsense was Indulged in to his heart's content, ad libbing ami travestying the lines of tho prcced ing acts. Charlie Adams does male straight and Adclo Ardsley is a sweet 'n' pretty charmer. The plece- de-resistance was the introduction of wee Willie Ward, the blackfaced midget whose stuff started where the preceding pigmy left off. He strutted and '"blued" and stepped like a veteran and the combination of seeming youth and sophistication was irresistible. That made tho third stop-the-show act. Raffayette'8 Hogs (New Acts) closed a bright breesy comedy show which, however, did not elide such Keith-banned references as Prohibi- tion, the Deity and Hades.

From this list it will be seen that the League has hopes of "uplift" and will have little time for frivolity. Rut what about that "ballet" for the 'very Ignorant? place Sept. 14 was therefore un- avoidably delayed. "Castles In Spain," the new musi- cal play by Arthur Wimperis and Harry M.
