Horace Aaimiijr Vaofcell ku not
furnished a ittrrlni vekiele worthy
the graee ?iid charm of'Otls ?klnner's
histrionic ability In "Humpty-Dumpty,"
this week's play at tho National Thea
tor. it Is delightfully entertaining,
however, and provides some strong
character opportunities notably to
Beryl Mercer, as Km. Mott, the lore
bU Uttle mother of the SwrUsh hair
dreeeer, Albert Mott, who la the cen
tral figure of the flay impersonated
by Mr. Skinner. But even Mr. Skin
ner's moat ardent ehamplone will ad
mit that with all the polished expert
neaa ho could brine to hla role. Beryl
Mereer, aa the little mother, la unmis
takably the ?tar of tho play, and even
Mr. 8kinner hlraaelf seemed inclined
to intimate that he waa not in the
speech that waa insistently demanded
of him before xhe last curtain laet
evening.
The play opens with a diagram con
suming an entire act which explains
why tho suave and popular hair
dresser of Bwaeheombe-on-Sea should
be transplanted from tho little "art
studio," where he seemed supremely
contented. t<v the drawing room at
Mottisfont Hfuse, May fair, and to the
house of lords. His little mother, to
whom he waa ardently devoted, had
married sedretly a member of the
nobility whin her face was young and
pretty and ?ad then, as she thought,
been deserted by him before the birth
of an only child. Ha fcrt not ImrM
bar. but had been killed In a hunting
accident, and It was (rem paper* found
kWC afterward that suspicion was
UMStd that there might be another
hair to a British earldom than John
Delamothe, who generously surren
dered everything to the hairdresser
when It was learned that the simple
and contented little Mrs. Mott was in
reality the widow of the dead earl.
The transition from the barber
?hop to the home of the earl offered
opportunities for amusing incidents,
because the hairdresser was not
trained for the peerage nor his devoted
mother for Maytair. The bobs up a
Little Buttercup, a Mrs. Rogers, who
demands hush money and tells a story
that causes "Humpty Dumpty" to have
his fall. The last curtain finds him
again heart satisfied and oontsnt in his
little shop at Swashcombe-on-Sea, and
his dsar little mother glad to be out
of the horly burly.
The mere announcement of his ap
pearance is sufficient to assure Otis
Skinner an audience,, repressntatlve
and discriminating, and tne audience
and Mr. Skinner were present last
night. But as pleasing as may have
been the play, few will care to admit
that It is an Otis Skinner play. Elisabeth
ftiedon shared some of the honors of the
evening as Crissie Parkins, a foundling
and the hairdresser's assistant, whose
dsvotion Anally compensated for what
ever of loss or heartache came to him
in the progress of the story. The re
mainder of the cast was eminently
satisfying, especially Fleming Ward as
John Delamothe, Morton Selton as Oen.
Delamothe, John's uncle; John Rog
ers, as the hairdresser's assistant;
Ruth Rose as the general's daughter
and Clara T. Bracy as Mrs. Rogers,
the Little Buttercup. Others were
Robert Harrison, Ernest Elton, Robert
Entwisje, William Evllle, Walter Scott
and Maud Milton.

Poll's.
If your wife had the delusion that you
were ait Ideal huaband, incapable of
wronga or mistakes, would you bare
your paat and spoil the delusion, or keep
the secret and enjoy the high pedestal
on which she had placed you?
In Oscar Wilde's play, "An Ideal Hus
band." which opened at Poll's last night,
are pictured the complications which may
result when the man keeps his secret.
The moral of the story is thai it is
wiser to admit the fault and make
promises for the future than to seek
to cover the paat and get caught In
spite of your efforts. Married folk
need have no fear, however, that the
play is a sermon for them.
Clever, brilliant dialogue1 and an
abundance of humor make the play
a sparkling comedy. The story is laid
in London. Norman Trevor, as Sir
Robert Chlltern, is a rising young
statesman whose wife looks up to him
as a man incapable of being dishon
est. 81r Robert gained his start in
public life by selling a state secret
to a stock broker for gold, but rather
than smash the ideal which his wife
saw in him, he remained allent. The
action of the play la taken up with
the efforts of Mrs. Cheveley, a politi
cal adventuress, to induce Sir Robert
to support before the British govern
ment a worthless waterway develop
ment that she may proflt from the
?ale of stock. Sir Robert's secret is
the weapon Mrs. Cheveley uses. Lord
Soring, a bachelor, saves Sir Robert
and, incidentally, gives him and Lady
ChlUern a lesson in the folly of paint
ing each other as spotless Ideals.
"An Ideal Husband" is admirably
played. Julian L'Estrange as Lord
Goring and Constance Collier as Mrs.
Cheveley are especially bright lights
in the cast. Others who take lead
ing parts are Cyril Harcourt, Gretchen
Yates and Alice Gordon.

Making her farewell appearance be
fore going "over there" to entertain the
soldier boys, Stella Mayhew sang, re
cited and even danced her way into the
good graces of a packed house at
Keith's last night. Her delivery of
darky songs and recitations is simply
irresistible and carries the punch that
always brings hearty applause. Miss
Mayhew is somewhat "hefty," but she
could not resist the opportunity to show
her agility in dancing a few steps Just
before her final bow, to the wonderment
of the audience. Miss Mayhew Is soon
to Join the band of vaudeville entertain
ers vho are going to France to brighten
up the dark hours of the coming winter.
The tabloid musical comedy, "The
Only Girl," is playing a return engage
ment this week. Its former splendid
success was easily repeated. The prin
cipals. Franif Harrington and Lillian
Crosman, handle their parts with ease,
both as to acting and singing, and carry
the piece to success. The music is
catchy and the dialogue and situations
funny.
Jtmme Lucas created lots of laughter
with his silly capers and did not use
the "soldier business" to score a hit.
Edwin George had a funny Juggling act.
One of the big hits of the evening was
registered by Joe Parsons and Dave Ir

-musical comedy which runs forty-five
minutes and presents a company of
eleven people. It is called "Pardon

Another topHner is Lillian Herleln, as

Burke Brothers and Kendall have a
very clever club Juggling act, with
songs and dance*. Elsie Gilbert and

makers. Supplementing these are the

Gayety.
"The Girls of the U. S. A.," a new
burlesque production under the direc
tion of Joe Hut-tig; entertained a
crowded house at the Gayety last
night. The show ha? somewhat of a
military atmosphere in its songs,
costumes and scenery. The action of
the different burlettas centers around
Lew N Hilton, whose fun-making
caught the fancy of the audlenoe, and
the applauding of his work at one
period of the performance was so per
sistent that he had to make a certain
speech. Next to Mr. Hilton the sing
ing of Ina Hayward. a stately prima
donna with a remarkable rang* of
to ice, was the outstanding feature
of the evening. Others in th* oast
who contributed their bit to the aong
and gayety were Mile. Bab?tte, whose
work was clever, especially her alng
lng of "Chinaman"; Tenny Hilson, the
soubrette; Aurela Clark, Clare Evans,
John Bohlman, Charles Flgg and Boy
Peck. The scenery of the final aet,
with which a burletta entitled "Cleo

noteworthy. The chorus 1a well ooa
