Must be some new-fangled cocktail.” Judging the Shows (Continued from page 15) Il HAVE mentioned Raque! Meller. La Meller has been promising to come to America about as long as Bernard Shaw has been promising not to. She is here at last, accom- panied by Mr. Ray Goetz in a new Charvet silk shirt, four dogs, a chef gifted in the preparation of revoltillo de sesos and media lata esparragos Lubeck, a carload of violets, and an article by Arthur Hopkins saying that she is the greatest actress in the world. Some of us were already familiar with the lady’s talents, having sat before her in the Clover Club and various Paris music halls. That she is all the estimable Hopkins in! she is, we have privileged ourselves seriously to doubt. It is probable that our friend Arturo, a bon vivant in his way, got champagne and his- trionic virtuosity balled up and we, for one, envy him. The champagne in Paris is excellent and what is criticism after all? But, since the champagne over here isn’t much good, there is nothing left to do but criticize. And a cold sober view of La Meller fails to make Hopkinses of us. The fact about the fair Raquel is that she isn’t much of an actress and rather less of a singer, but that she is, notwithstanding, the most hypnotic- ally insinuating woman in the present-day theater. I, in my coarse way, put her success down to sex. —Gaiety If Raquel Meller isn't sex with a capital letter, I am Arthur Hopkins’ grandfather. She looks It, suggests It, implies It, acts It from the moment she comes on the stage until about an hour or so after she leaves. T observe that my friend Percy Ham- mond scoffs at this analysis of the lady’s influence, but Perey, I may tell you confidentially, is the kind of fellow who thinks Mrs. Wiffen has got It, so you know where to put Per I may be wrong, true enough —it’s a rare day that I am not—but if Meller’s pull isn’t sex pure and simple T'll be glad to give a box of good cigars to the man who will come around and tell me just what it is.
