I take it that the great good luck of Playwright Maugham is due to the fact that he precisely meets the English taste in comedy—which is for a touch of bread farce with a faint undercur- rent of sentiment, the two being woven together in some story wh.th has al- ready endeared itself to our British cousins by years of familiarity and therefore become a cherished tradition of their stage. This, at least, is surely what must account for the “Lady Frederick” suc- cess. Its plot hinges upon that dear old device empleyed alike in “David Garrick’ and in “Peg Woffington’’—the disenchanting of a foolish young ad- mirer by a bogus revelation of unleve-: linezss in the ene admired—and its hu- morous aspects are more those of farce than comedy. It is not possible, yeu know, to con- template Lady Frederick Berollgg chill- ing the ardor of her young suiter by hiding the ravages of:age without think- ing of Peg Woffington’s similar trick rick’s method cf dispelling the illusion of Ada ingot by showing her that he was in the habit of getting beastly drunk at dinner after the manner of other “‘mere men” of his day.

During the intermissien, however, she entirely recovered and met the de- mands of the third act appgrently with- out feeling any undue strain. ~ RIPLEY D.

Fer this reason it must be regarded a something more than a Mere dramatic spectacle. Its staging this season is said ~~ be additionally attractive because of the elaboration of the Roman galley scene, the revels of the nymphs in the grove of Daphne, and the realism of the great chariot race in the circus of An- tiosh. A symphonic musical accom- paniment by Edgar Stillman Kelley is a feature of the Mount of Olives scene, in.. which over twe hundred persons take part and the presence of the Savier is indicated by a great ray of pure white light. There is also a chorus of 125 voices and an augmented orchestra. Matinees Tuesday, Wednes- day, Thursday and Saturday. _ Ethel Barrymore, in “Mrs. erick,” is now at the Olympic.
