IN eplto of lomo raUier noisy acting at tbc Belmont TheUtrc. "VYeach
Leavo" U & restful little play of wartime billeting, at which you may
smile or even chuckle anil feel that you are enjoying a mildly divert
ing evening. In It Atr. utfd Mrs. Coburn are quite comfortable, though not
00 happily situated us they were in "The ltetter 'Olo." i
It la Impossible to prow excited over the ailventure of the Kngllsh wtf
who surprises her husband, a vuunr oincer. bv vlsltlnz hlra In a village
where his brigade Is resting, but she
uerself off as a French singer and
old peasant woman In whose home
frocks she brings along, sho might easily pass for a prima donna, lion- ,
ever, one never knows what a woman will do, and anyway Mile, Juliette, as
he colls herself, looks charming enough to turn the head of any soldier
at the little dinner given In her honor. Bhe Is toasted by the old Qeneral I
and a young subaltern, and she joins with them In singing "Where do
the flics go In the summertime 7" while her jealous husband sits moodily (
aloof. This Is the liveliest and funniest situation In a play somewhat
lacking In situations. It Is of no consequence that tho wife Is momentar-1
lly suspected of being a German spy. The flirtations make "French Leave" ,
an amusing escapade, and this Is probably all that tt was meant to be I
by Its English author, Ilcglnald Berkeley. i
Mrs. Coburn, slender and pretty, acts the wife with a fair degree of
charm and manages her French accent very well, though she has none
of tho deviltry that Marie Tempest, for example, might glvo to the role.
Mr. Coburn plays tho blustering old warrior capably and ran upstairs
amusingly. Dut It Is Iallas YVclford as a mess sergeant, pop-eyed In his I
assumed severity as he orders about a private serving a waiter, who la I
iha real joy of tho performance. Harry McNaughton Is a funny waiter, so '
intent upon standing erect that ho Is In langcr of falling ovor backwards.
Alexander Onslow aata tho husband discreetly; Noel Tcarle Is amusing,
though a bit strenuous, as tho susceptible young officer, and Helen Tllden
noes an excellent bit of character work
