MISS COHAN MAKES DEBUT ^4S A STAR IN FATHER'S PLA Y 'Madeleine and the Movies' a Poor Farce but Introduces Talented Actress. It was a preat right for the Cohan* Yes, t htr,' were two of them. Georg# M., our familiar friend, wrote the new play, "Madeleine and the Movies." But lie has written new plays before, even I if not for his daughter, who has been seen here before only in a few Incidental scenes at the Palace to lielp out her mother, Ethel Ijerey of London and the 'alls. But Mr. Cohan never before ' wrote and produced a play after he had retired from the managerial ranks and gone to London to live and work?and then come back to New York to start all over again. So there were very few last night who thought of strikes or ! actors or managers' societies, or any^ I thing but the success of the Cohans, Broadway knows how to extend the j | glad hand, how to forgive and forget j 1 and do all those emotional and human j | things. So Mr. Cohan had to come on j the stage just as his daughter did and ! share with her some of the good feeling that surged through the Gaiety Theater. Even the spectators who went only for the play?if there were any of them?felt I that there was something else about the ' evening than just "Madeleine and the ! Movies" and the debut of the young ' actress. Mr. Cohan was satisfied to ask | if they liked his little girl and then | come forward only to bow, Mr. Cohan has started the young laxly in a play that combines some of the | qualities of his modern dramaturgy i i There is a movie horo of unimpeachable j j looks?James Rennie acts this part, so j that feature is settled to the eatlsfac- j lion of every fiajjpet-?and naturally the young heroine loves him bo much that she collects all the photographs she can and even works as a supernumerary In one of his pictures to be that near her divinity. Then there are objecting rela tives?fathers and brothers and a girl friend and an ambitious valet who things he could act just as well as his master. Then there are detectives and finally the ambitious valet poring over j the scenario, only to show that the ! whole play took place in his fancy. I It would have been a much better play wherever it took place if Mr. ! Cohan had been less evidently hurried to find a medium fir Miss Georgette. He wil! write something better for her ! , after a while?something thai is not I all slamming doors and tingling tele- ! phones and the customary bones and j cartilage of the old familiar skeleton without vitality and life and any sug gestion of reality. There are none of ! these important qualities "Madeleine ! and the Movies," and the friendly audi 6 Up the Ladder' I Is Old Fashioned and Artificial I When Owen Davis composed "Up the Ladder" he wasn't so much writing a play as remembering several plays. As the dramatist'9 recollection reaches back some distance, the comedy which Will iam A. Brady presented at the Play i house last night was more old fashioned | than the tango. The playwright's memory warn't spe , clflc, but it resurrected the general ele i ments of situations on which tho drama ! was bottle fed. There was tho young j wife loath to give up the financial in | dependence of a business career for mar ; riage?though so many girls seem ready ] to snap up the chance with both hands. There was the young husband, anxious to climb the ladder of success, and tho v.altby elderly man whose financial dealings w? re of the shady type so pop ular with the muckrakers of a decade past He sought to involve the young husband in un unsavory deal In order, somehow, to further his designs on the young wife, thus paving the way for tho third of the four acts to have tho clash so highly recommended by all textbooks on the drama Must of this, of course, tofk place in tho country, since it Is easiest In the I modern theater to show tho 111 effects I of success In the suburbs, with their J country clubs, road houses. Ac. The dragnet of the playwright's renicm ! bra nee also brought up Impossible rela | tives for the young couple, society snobs and go^'-ips and a couple of flappers going through ail the standardized stages of tipsiness when left alone in the room with a defenseless punchbowl. Miss Mary Brandon carried off this scene and some others rather well In a ? role that was no doubt Intended to be I a terrible example of the ultra modern ! girl, but she was frequently too staccato and fortissimo even for a mlsa who wore trousers. One was willing, how ! ever, to forgive her anything when she i had the grace to turn away after being ! compelled to utter a word that Eugene | O'Neill himself would hardly give to ono ? of his feminine characters. The piece was as full of loosely re lated "gags' as a movie pie throwing content. When the tirst act opened In a typical middle class flat on Wash ington Heights, and Albert Hackett drew some laughs as the fledgling cub j of the family, one had hopes of seeing j I the little brother of "The First Veer." But as Hackett continued to raise his | voice louder and louder, and the garish [neighbor* from upstairs sailed In, the 1 picture called to mtn-.l a Webster carl mature, except that It wasn't so human. ] In the i tuning all the cost were al lowed to overplay their parts shrilly, land seemed constantly on the verge of losing balance. Even when the men Mi owed ?' at. one another they . Vinced rio <,teidy pitting of will against) will, so" es.i-nti.it to a play, but rather the pique of persons who have had their ! toes stepped on. Ono original touch amid the artl rjr<ii|ity was shown by the playwright wlv n he almost killed off a baby brother i . make the pjirl accept a proposal. But the -Mtthor of "The Petour" should for grt Broadway and r-'Member life. Miss Dor la Kenyon performed tricks with her voice too much, and her transi tions were too qul?k except for the movies. Paul K"lly looked manly but too youthfully callow to be taken into t sto< t". firm at one fell swoop. ERIANGER TO BUT1D PLAY SHOP ^ KvrrrlhlnK 1 mlfr One Roof to MnUc Tlientrlenl Productions. A. I.

But Mr. Cohan did overlook these de ficiencies in the new play. Miss Cohan !s an attractive young creature who looks like her father, and for that reason alone finds all the thea ter world prejudiced In he' favor. She kissed him after the play ?was over and the audience found in< that little cere mony more heart than the whole of t.ie new play contained. Miss <"olian met her artistic responsibilities quite fear lessly and showed an undoubted talent for the theater. Under "he circum stances that was a wonderful way for any girl to come through while lior father was watching her from the wings and a devoted husband had his eyes fixed on her from the second row. Hilliard and Cohan Stars in Court in 'Bob vs. George' Charges made two years ago by Rob ert Hilliard, actor, when he filed suit against George M. Cohan, alleging that Cohan broke a contract he had made with Hilliard in respect to the play, a Prince There Was," in which each played the leading part for a while, were put to the proof in the Supreme Court yes terday when the action came up for trial 'and each took the witness stand and gave his version of the contract and what ho understood by it. Hilliard is suing for $.>0,000 which he claims to be due him because Cohan never gave him his whole share of the receipts of "A Prince There Was, and neglected wholly to touch pen to paper In respect to a play called Honest John O'Brien," which he was to write, or - write, for Hilliard. Against Hilliard a claims Cohan has set up that he lias already given Hilliard $25,000 for his share of "A Prince There Was and that that is all his share was worth, and that he never bound himself to an Hgree ment to write "Honest John O Brlen. Hilliard testified yesterday how he had been the first to play the fading nvrt in "A Prince There "Was, and the first to realize that it was not going well It was being played in Philadel phia. he said, when Cohan, who was a friend of his. came down to look at I t and offered to rewrite the 1a.st act. Finally it was agreed that he? rewrite the whole play and finally that he be the star in it himself. ? ?mhrd "I paid to my partner, said ilunara yesterday. " 'Cohan has written this part to ?ult himself. Now let him pla> ? And he did play it and the play made money, but he had made a failure of another play.

Counsel for Cohan in opening the case for him described it to tho jury as a temperamental suit. Cohan, he ex plained, had paid Hilliard $25,000 for Ins share in the play he took over from h!Cohan on tho witness stand told how ?A Prince There Was" went badly for a week or so after he supplanted Hilliard ? until people knew T was in It. Then, hr declared. It began to pick up at once^ Ho gave himself a salary of $1,000 a week, "which was pretty small for mo. hut $7.r?0 less than the salary of $1,. ?0 which Bob Hilliard had been getting? hut I wanted the play to make money. Ho told the jury also how he writes all his plays a scene at a time and lets them develop themselves as they go al Both actors admitted yesterday that thero was nothing written down About when if ?t all. Cohan was to rewrite "Honest John O'Brien." Hilliard de clared that the contract to write it was oral and Cohan that there was none. The trial will be continued to-day.

Dvorak's "Sonatine" and Vitali's "Chaconne." These numbers brought several changes to the program which was first announced. The Pizzetti sonata In the list, which was to have been heard at the llrst concert, was introduced here by Mr. and Mrs. Bloch last season. Shortly afterward Miss Barlow, who had studied it with the composer, played it.
