You know the kind of performance: exasperation interpreted by stiffening the arms, clenching the fists and turning suddenly on the heels; dejec- tion by lowering the head and droop- ing the shoulders; hopelessness by standing dead still and gazing blankly out into the auditorium; and so on. La Cornell, as I have observed, is good as always, but her réle must make heavy demands on her sense of humor, m “(C*omeprenne” is an adaptation from the French. | Whether the play was amusing in the original I don’t know, but as we get it on the platform of the Bijou Theater it is pretty sleepy stuff. In the first place, it is so sentimental that the crying of the ushers and cab-starter often drowns out the speeches of th actors. . In the second place, it is us lacking in situations as a strawberry festival. And in the third place, it is directed and acted so badly that it seems twice as poor as it is. The plot has to do with an aging actress who, long a pet of the public, retires from the stage before the stage has a chance to retire from her. In the last act, of course, love makes her feel like a two-year-old again and she decides to show ’em that she can still play flappers with the youngest of her rivals. In mak- ing the adaptation, the M. Baron has tried to inject a little life into the affair by sprinkling the text with local allusions and names, much as Lew Dockstader used to bolster up his monologue in the hinterland towns by sticking into it the name of the biggest local saloon and an allu- sion to the mayor. It would take more than this, how- ever, to give any bounce to the exhibit; it would need the quotation of the entire city directory to give it even a modicum of zip. As it stands it seems destined for an early resting place in the Maison de Cain. Charlotte Walker goes in for an Ethel Barrymore imitation in the leading réle. She is quite bad. Cyril Keightley’s réle gives him a chance to do nothing, and he does it. IV ‘T'He new “Artists and Models” ~ show amuses me.
