Opinion was virtually unanimous t Parsons' theater. Hartford, last night, that "The Show Off," which began a week's neaement u n of the most amusing entertainments yet produced. It Is a mirror of mod ern domestic life in which "In-laws" and the troubles of the youngest daughters figure heavily, The central figure Is "Aubrey PI per,'' a young man with an over draft In his bank account hut a mil lion dollar's worth of self-confldenct under his hat. "Piper" is played I by Louis John Battels, w ho Is almost as well known to the public as Presi dent Cooltdge through his Interpre tation of the role in the leading the jaters of the country. He is a loud I young man who wears loud clothes and wants to be "clubby" with every. one he nuets, meanwhile trving to Impress the world with his import jai.ee. "Piper" is truly one of the great characters of the musical com edy stage. " Tno leading role on the distaff side Is capably taken by Helen ; Lowell, the long suffering "Ma," who is inclined to be a "Calamity Jane" I and who frequently sees her gloomy Judgment vindicated by subsequent j events. Miss Lowell is equally as great as Mr. Bartels. One criticism might be offered her voice does not (carry well enough to reach those sit i ting In rear seats. But as a tvpe v.vcu icuti's uuiniiig io ne de sired. She is splendid. Winifred Wellington also makes a fine impression for the manner tn which she portrays the youngest daughter, strong-willed and Inclined to the opinion that her folks are old fashioned because they cannot see "Aubrey" thiotlch 1ier spectacles.

His place has been tak en by Myron Paulson, who played tne some diameter in London and in Chicago and who is familiar with the lines and the task expected of him. George Warrington, appearing for a fey? minutes only, is a true to life insurance salesman. There is a moral to "The Show- Off' and it is this don't scoff t -the swaggering male person who flunks he knows it all: rerlnrs lie does.
