... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. THE LAW DIVINE, AT WYNDHAM'S THEATRE. THIS is a tale of a soldier's wife who, when war broke out, didn't think it right to be happy any longer. Therefore she started packing parcels with im patient fury, addressed envelopes by the hundred, attended committee meetings day in day out, organised funds for the relief of every thing except income tax, had the telephone put ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. CHEATING CHEATERS, AT THE STRAND THEATRE. MISS SHIRLEY KELLOGG, unlike those actresses-- Miss Ethel Irving and Miss Marie Tempest for example-- who left more frivolous stages for straight comedy, has left the revue stage for crook drama. Although this is a definite step up the dramatic Parnassus it is by no means a long stride, for Cheating Cheaters, by Max Marcin, ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. TWELFTH NIGHT. AT THE COURT THEATRE. THIS is a tale from Shake speare, who stole it first and made Bacon write it up afterwards. The chief char acters are the following. Orsino was the Duke of Illyria, a country evidently inhabited by the English since its inhabitants habitu ally used such expressions as by my troth!, tut. swabber, and in good faith. It should ...
... . MISS LEE WHITE and Mr. Clay Smith, having acted together in Some and Cheep at the Vaude ville Theatre, thereafter sub merged from the sight of Londoners until they broke surface again, as they say of the submarines, in the metropolis and produced Us at the Ambassadors. Having got married during their absence their reappear ance took on the character of a house-warming, especi ally as ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS ORITIO. LOVE IN A COTTAGE, AT THE GLOBE THEATBE. SO Miss Marie Löhr has followed Miss Gladys Cooper's lead and gone into management. It is a vexed question as to whether the stage gains or loses by having people on it who both act and manage. Their acting is likely to suffer by having to worry over an infinity of detail as well as by the uncertainty they must feel as to whether ...
... MORE ABOUT PEACE.-- In exploring from time to time the possible effects upon the stage of that period of recrimination, discontent, disappointment, and turmoil which will be officially described as Peace, I have allowed one possibility to escape my notice. I do not know how it can have been that this has happened. I usually notice everything. Yet this thing was so ob vious, so inevitable. ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. â– SLEEPING I'ARTN ERS, AT THE ST. MARTIN'S THEATRE. I WAS reading the other day that Mr. Leslie Henson, of the Prince of Wales Theatre, is so full of amusing tricks that he could send the other actors home and act a play all by him self. In Sleeping Partners, at the St. Martin's, Mr. Seymour Hicks al most, performs this feat for he only has three assistants, and of ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIO A WEEK-END, AT THE KINGSWAY THEATRE. EVEN in peace time picking the winner of a horse race was comparatively easy to foretelling how long a play would run, and now in war lime it is more dangerous than ever to prophesy until you know. When one remembers that three such successes as Romance, Chu Chin Chow, and A Little Bit of Fluff have all been made during the war, ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. ROXANA, AT THE LYRIC THEATRE. LET us frankly admit that this is a Doris Keane era. Was it G. B. S. who said that King Edward VII. wouldF be known to posterity as a popular monarch of the Shaw period? It was either he or some other grimly determined humorist, and it gives us an excuse for saying that King George V. will be looked back to as an esteemed sovereign of the ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. THE BEAUTY SPOT, AT THE GAIETY THEATRE. THIS is another of Mr. Alfred Butt's lavish presentations and seems to be quite to the liking of the lads and lasses of the village. It is a proof that success does not depend on a stock company that although many of the former Gaiety actors of To night's the Night, and Theodore and Co. celebrity flitted to the Prince of ...
... ^THE*-' CRITIC ON T HE^HE ARTH s misjr By A. ST. JOHN ADCOCK. WHEN a man goes about saying no one understands him, you can't help wondering whether that is his own fault or everybody else's. He takes a pensive pride in the per suasion that he is misjudged by all who do not share his opinion of himself. It gives him a subtle feeling of superiority, suggests to him that he is unusual, ...
