"I DO"
Cliflilivn After Siliool 10c
(By M.raia Hrtwr.)
Functuated plentifully with
thrills and laughter, Kalph Spen
cer's crazy quilt of mystery and
mirth, "Tho Gorilla," came to Par
sons' theater, Hartford, last night
for a weeks' presentation by the or
iginal company which played be
fore Now York audlencea for
months. In tho long and Interesting
annuls of the theater nothing of a
similar typo has ever been produced.
It measures up to that much over
worked word unique.
There Isn't a possibility of catch
ing a nap during the performance.
Suspenses and doubt blanket the
show and tho blanket is torn to
shreds every few minutes by March
gales of laughter.
"The Gorilla" Is said to be a
satire on certain dramas which
came, into popularity in tho past
few years In which a credulous
theater-going public drank deep at
tho fountain of mystery. It Is aim
ed particularly at tho thrillers In
which persons on the stago vanish.
Kven In tho printed program, tho
audience is prepared for what Is
coming, the cast being announced
"In the order of their disappear
ance." After reading IJiat and then
having the lights in all parts of the
theater extinguished, It you can
start the show without a lump In
your throat you are not Ilka the
rank and file of humans.
The play Is written around two
blundering detectives and their ef
forts to track down a criminal who
Is known as tho "Gorilla." In their
peregrinations, they encounter many
experiences which have their reac
tion on the audience in the form of
chills or laughter. It is a rapid-fire
performance of sleuthing and their
hands are full from the time they
announce they arc intent on cap
luring the criminal who holds the
countryside In a grip of fear.
'Mr. Mulligan," one of the detec
tives, Is cleverly characterized by
Clifford Dempsey; "Mr. Garrlty." his
' . . . , j . v--. ..
partner, is auiy piujeu u.v rimm
McCormack. If there are two
stranger or more ludicrous creations
of the playwright's pen they nave
yet to appear In these parts or tn&
world. Robert Strange added a
few thrills with his portrayal of
"Arthur Marsden," the dramatist.
Harry Hcrmsen gave a remarK-
ably true to life presentation ot
"Jefferson Lee," a colored man who
was on the verge of death by fright.
Betty Weston did well as "Alice
nenby." nloco of "Cyrus Stevens,"
the. role taken by Frederick Trues
dale, one of tho most Important
members of tho cast. Frank Beas
ton contributed lighter parts as
"Simmons," a newspaperman.
Others In the cast era Augustus
Minton, Joseph Guthrie, Doan Bor
up and Harry A. Ward, whose an
tics as a gorilla were convincingly
chilly.
"The Gorilla" is presented by
Donald Gallagher and staged by
Walter V. Scott. It will remain at
Parsons' theater for the rest ot tho
