'CANDIDA' IS A
SUPERB OFFERING
BELASCOCOMPANYACTS SHAW
PLAY DELIGHTFULLY
Whatever One* Opinion May Be of It*
Symbolism, So.Called, It I* a Great
Dramatic Treat, and the
Cast Is Superb
WILLIAM HAMILTON CLINE
Just W.hy Ooorgo Rpranrd Shaw
wroto "Cl mllda," thrnturh which tho
Beiasco company last njght gnvc I,oq
Angeles Its flrat view o-f the Shavinlan
drama, he bus never consented t.. till.
Just what ho meant by the iiday, if
anything, he has been equally nptlcent
In divulging, save In a single Instance,
•which was as remarkably crypto
graphic as many believe "Candida" to
be.
For that one llnsh of enlightenment
came about through another Bhaw play,
"You Can Never Tell," wherein, with
both title and action, he had fun most
decorously and dt-llcloußly with him
self, with "CandHda" and with the dear
public, which lias road so much Into
this very simplo drama. Yet how far
Mr. Shaw wished the aforesaid public
to take seriously his satiro on himself,
his play and Itself, nnd how far he
really elucidated tho (supposed) secret
motif of "Candida" Is a moot ouestion;
one which as to answer It is sail every
one for himself.
As Shaw la undoubtedly a man of
brains and of a wit far too keen not
to enjoy the situation thus created, and
as he Is well known for his love of
poking fun at his smug following, it Is
certain that the true inwardness and
psychological significance of "Can
dida" — If it have any — will remain un
dlvulged on his part for all time to
come; and that the public, dear and
otherwise, may blame upon the play
any meanings seen fit for all he cares;
he will still sit by and snicker In his
sleeve in manner as .ilephistophelian
as Is his countenance.
The present writer, who has read and
studied "Candida" and has seen it
played — and likewise with its purported
key, "You Can Never Tell" — is of the
candid opinion that ghaw in writing
it put into it naught of the undercur
rent which his followers profess to find
there. But, having discovered that in
advertently he Jiad done a "tremen
dously profound and erudite" bit of
symbolism (so he was told), he, being
cynical withal, sardonic and shrewd as
well as clever, and having the financial
sense well developed, let the soulful
sighers over the uncanny rave on, the
while he saw his pen-child grow stu
pendously in favor and himself decided
ly in vogue and wealth.
Then when pressure became unpleas
ant he hammered out his "reply" — if
such it be — by the form already noted
("You Can Never Tell"), burlesquing
most merrily all three factors, and
again lay back and lattghed — and
counted his shekels.
That is my opinion, and I have the
support of many true Shavsniana who
have given the subject more study than
I have. However, It is only an opinion,
and II s * put forth as such mopt humbly.
The iconoclastic Shaw himself, never
having ventured to solve the riddle of
"Candida," provided there he one, an
obscure scribe would not be foolish
enough to do so for him. But at least
I may be honest in recording my own
views, and they are as above stated.
Analyze the drama and see if it be
not reasonable. Candida ;s the wife of
the Rev. Mr. Morrell, a prig, who, like
most clergymen, is so far above earth
that he hath little acquaintance with
and less observation of things mun
dane. Comes to live with them one
Marchbanks, a mollycoddle poet, whom
she takes under her wing and mothers.
He, aroused out of his moonings. gives
vent to unholy passions, at which she
laughs. Her husband, informed of the
State of affairs by the usual intprmed
dlers, does not talk of vengeance or
divorce, but contemplates a mawkish
suicide. Then at the cruicial point
Candida, ever saiT- and level-headed
outwardly, albeit possibly bad at heart,
turns the poet out o' doors with new
hopes and aspirations in his weak soul,
the while she shows her husband not
only what a fool he has become with
his insane jealousy, but how unappre
ciatlve of her own pure self he has
been!

Into thl« a •ymbollsm; but why. then,
rlo not the symbolists ntr» upon It?
There l« no question among devotee*
of the Tbsnn or fludermann cult as to
the mpnnlnir«i behind the dramas of
these writers; their codes are perfectly
iin.lr-rxtoort nnd oaxlly decipherable.
Rut who dares diagram a Shaw symbol
In the same form thnt another dops?
Where is the lexicon of them that ac
curately or authoritatively sets them
down? It doos not exist. Thpn. If every
student reads the cryptogram In a
varying way, what rpnson Is there to
believe that each reader does not rather
put Into it his own Mons. which may
be total stranger to Ideas of the orig
inal creator of the play?
However, bo all this as It may— be
"Candida" either "a latter-day essay
In feminine psychology" or merely ft
very clever comedy-drama by a still
cleverer writer— it is well worth one's
while to see It. If one be. mystically
Inclined there Is no law against one's
ohsesnlng 1t with nny scheme or dream
one desires. If one be frankly a van
dal one may then accept it at Its face
valtto and gain therefrom an evening
of pleasure qultp unalloyed without
puzzling over understrata which, even
If discovered, leave a question as
to whether they be pure gold or mere
dross of imagination. For the play is
unusually bright: there Is no doubt of
that. Constructively it Is wonderful;
Its lines scintillate with brilliancy, like
a many-faceted .'lnmond. and the crisp
dialogue keeps every iar on the alert.
It Is an intellectual treat, though a
somewhat acrobatic one. and to Man
ager Blackwood Is owing a debt of
gratitude from the keen-minded who
find delight in a fine bit of ground and
lofty tumbling among the realm of
words and phrases; to them It will be
exceedingly enjoyable.
As to the manner of Its presentation
only good words are iiormissible, char
acterizing It generally. Dick Vivian,
as the poet Marshbanks. was suffering
from a cold last night and his voice
was a hit husky, but his interpreta
tion of the role otherwise was perfect.
Glazier was first-class as the minister.
Morrell, while Miss Albertson as his
wife, Candida, was splendid. Her
work ranks with her Zira. Perhaps
the very strongest one in the cast is
Marlon Berg, as the catty typewriter,
Proserpine; a better piece of character
acting never was done here, and she
deserves the highest praise. Bradlee
Martin as the curate is the weak spot.
Martin seems to be acting when he
should be doing the natural role, and
vice versa. Terance is strong as th*
uncouth father-in-law, and gives his
usual finished performance. Barring
the slight fault with Martin a strong
er, better balanced cast for "Candida"
would be Impossible, and the play will
rank at the very top of even the splen
did list of achievements which are to
the Belasco's credit— at the very top.
"A YANKEE TOURIST"
AT THE MASON IS A
LIVELY MUSICAL SHOW
"A Yankee Tourist," which began a
week's run at the Mason last night, is
a case of the survival of the fittest. It
started out as a straight play, under
the title of "The Gallopers," by Rich
ard Harding Davis. Not making the
success desired in that form It was re
vamped, Wallace Irwin was called In
to write some songs for it and Alfred
Robyn was told to dope out some music
therefor. As a result It became a
melenge of that sort now generally
classified as musical comedy. In the
meantime it had taken on several new
names, of which the present one Is the
last and seemingly the most clinging.
However, that this is an evolution
and not a completely new creation need
not be held up against it; on the con
trary, it would seem to make for its
betterment. Most musical comedies
are a growth rather than an inspira
tion, and this has quite evidently im
proved during its evolution. In fact,
to those who saw "The Gallopers" it is
a distinct progression. The comedy is
now not nearly so obscure, the music
Is jingly and whistleable and the songs
are often above the usual inanity of
the music-comedy lyric. So that, all
told, it makes for a good evening's en
tertainment.
True, the carpentering can be rather
plainly seen, the songs are somewhat
dragged In and the action is hazy
therefrom. But one doesn't expect
drama in music comedy, and as the
large audience was delighted with th
skit as it stands, why cavil?
Raymond Hitchcock is always funny.
As the tourist disguised unwillingly as
the war correspondent, he is excruciat
ing in a droll, dry way, and his raspy
voice never fails to raise a laugh. His
wife, Flora Zabelle, and Helen Hale
make a lovely singing pair, and are a
delight to eye and ear. Walter Law
rence In a close fitting green uniform
does an Irish officer well, but has too
little chance for his fine baritone voice
Eva Fallon In a boy's rig would be
perfect if she would doff that ugly taffy
wig. The funniest of all tho women—
the real comedy hit of the show— ls
mountainous Busle Cawthora. To look
upon her multitudinous expanse of flesh
is a laugh in itself, and her tippy way
of getting about is a scream. There
are many others in the long cast who
deserve special mention did space per
mit. The chorus is small but sings
well, the show Is handsomely costumed
the scenery is good and it all goes with
the typical Savage dash and verve that
adds so much to a musical per
formance.

because Sardou In writing it ventured

The senator has come to the coast
for a consultation with J. Rosb Clark,
vice president of the road, but under

with his wife, Mrs. Clark and little
Andree Clark, make up the party.
"Dr. Cochran says the ligaments of
his chest have been strained and that

on the return trip, which was made
in a rough wagon, a stream had to bo
crossed.
"The stream was covered with ice
and this held all right until Just as the
wagon reached the far bank, then the
back wheels caught and went crash
ing through. Mr. Clark was sitting on
the back seat und the seat was loose,
so that he and his companion fell back
ward on the ice and into the water.
"The men who were with him Anally
succeeded in helping him out and he
wai taken to a nearby farm house,
where he received what medical atten
tion could be given him.
"We think be will be quite well again
in a few days."
Asked concerning the reason for the
visit of the railroad magnate to tho
coast, his secretary said that he came
only on regular routine business.
