Palatial Steamer It. Johas Punth Wmt Wharf Dale Finds Old-Fashioned Sex Play Not So Bad When Good Actors Interpret It v By ALAN DALE. NEW YORK, Auk. 24. AFTER^all, a good old red-blooded sex play will not go amiss in a new season that is devoting itself principally to so- called mysteries and crooks. The engaging mixups that men and women delight to call love Is dealt with this week at Maxine Elliott's theater in a play entitled "Fools Errant," by Samuel Ship man.or is it Louis Evan Shipman?.and I can't be sure, as I've mislaid my program. Anyhow, whether Samuel or Louis, "Mr." will be enough. Mr. Shipman has taken the subject matter of "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray".and other sex plays.and has ar¬ ranged an entertaining set of characters, and a motive.none too plausible, but a motive. Has Leading Role In New Play At. Belasco "One Clear Call" Comes as Feature to Metropolitan CLEAK CALL,." a 1 I John M- ftahl'a produc- vf tion for First National, will be the major attraction at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater | next week, beginning Sunday. This film comes well recommend¬ ed and prevents an exceptional cant. The story is one of mother-love and wife-love and mirrors a con- - filet that iransforms a coward into a man of courage and a hero into a craven. A thrilling bit of screen drama is embodied in the ride of the K. K. K. against a notorious dive conducted by a renegade whose life is no black that his father has convinced his mother that the son is dead as the lesser of two griefs. This role of the craven who reforms Is played by Henry B. Walthall. The young physician who slips to the lowest depths, is played by Milton Sills. Others in the cast are Joseph J. Dowling, Claire Windsor. Irene Rich. Doris Pawn, Edith Yorke. Shannon Day and Annette de Koe. BLOOMFTELD, N. J.. Aug. 24.. Miss Mary Sabo, nineteen years old, of River road Shady Side, a suburb of North Bergen, is in the Snake Hill Insane Asylum, and her mother, Mrs. Emll Sabo, is dead, as result, according to the police, of the sud¬ den appearance at midnight of a suitor of the young woman In her bedroom. When the suitor, who is Frank Kolaskt, forty-seven years old. a mechanic, formerly employed here, broke the young woman's bedroom window and put his head into the room. Miss Sabo screamed and went instantly Insane. Her mother ran into the room, according to the |>o- lice, and dropped dead from shock. The story came to light when Ko- laskl was arrested in county Park here by Detective Huddy. Huddy said he recognized the man from de¬ scriptions given by residents along Glenwood avenue, Bloomfield, who had reported that the man was^act- lng strangely in that vicinity late every night. * VETERANS CARNIVAL AUGUST 24, 25, 26 Georgia avenue and 16th street extended, District line. LARGEST OPEN AIR DANCE FLOOR IN WASHINGTON Doughty socialistic man lovea. or has loved, his friend's wife. When that friend goes astray, as they call it, and Is lost in the tolls of a Tanquerayish dame, the doughty, socialistic man, in order to save the woinar) of his heart, marries the peccant one. Perhaps this pec¬ cant one was not an exact replica of Mrs. Tanqueray. but at any rate she was not the sort that brave gents marry Just for the fun of Retting married. So there's the situation. Later on the doughty socialistic one hears that his friend is dead. Therefore, the wife is free, and tbe newly wedded wife, who now loves her h6sband, Is, of course, led to be¬ lieve her fate is sealed. The situa¬ tions are obvious but interesting. SamUel Shipman.I mean Louis .has somewhat befuddled his char¬ acters by his socialistic talk, but when they get down to the sex matter in hand one feels the acute thrill that situations between Him and Her and Aqpther invariably induce when they are well done. However, Samuel Shipman.that is to say, Louis.was lucky in his selection of Alexandria Carlisle as his heroine. Miss Carlisle was a delight all the way through the play. Sho was simple, natural, emotional and charming. She neither over-acted nor over¬ dressed. Miss Carlisle has never done anything better. Her diction and her English were both Irre¬ proachable. Lucille Watson .with gutta percha notes in her voice that seemed to be unduly emphasized, was not particularly happy In her role of the disillusioned wife. Cyril Keightley gave a fine performance. It was good to find Fritz Williams, again with us for It Is interesting in these days to listen to an actor who kno\rs his business from A to Z. and from whom one could ex¬ pect an excellent performance In any role. That's what acting used to be. Actors could play any role, whether they looked It or not and Fritz Williams is one of 'em. i GAYETY THEATER. "Mimic World."

Dale Finds Old-FashionedSex Play Not So Bad WhenGood Actors Interpret It

v By ALAN DALE.NEW YORK, Auk. 24.

AFTER^all, a good old red-blooded sex play will not go amissin a new season that is devoting itself principally to so-

called mysteries and crooks. The engaging mixups that menand women delight to call love Is dealt with this week at MaxineElliott's theater in a play entitled "Fools Errant," by Samuel Shipman.or is it Louis Evan Shipman?.and I can't be sure, as I'vemislaid my program. Anyhow, whether Samuel or Louis, "Mr."will be enough. Mr. Shipman has taken the subject matter of"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray".and other sex plays.and has ar¬

ranged an entertaining set of characters, and a motive.none tooplausible, but a motive.

Doughty socialistic man lovea. orhas loved, his friend's wife. Whenthat friend goes astray, as they callit, and Is lost in the tolls of a

Tanquerayish dame, the doughty,socialistic man, in order to save

the woinar) of his heart, marriesthe peccant one. Perhaps this pec¬cant one was not an exact replicaof Mrs. Tanqueray. but at any rateshe was not the sort that bravegents marry Just for the fun ofRetting married.So there's the situation. Later

on the doughty socialistic one hearsthat his friend is dead. Therefore,the wife is free, and tbe newlywedded wife, who now loves herh6sband, Is, of course, led to be¬lieve her fate is sealed. The situa¬tions are obvious but interesting.SamUel Shipman.I mean Louis

.has somewhat befuddled his char¬acters by his socialistic talk, butwhen they get down to the sex

matter in hand one feels the acutethrill that situations between Himand Her and Aqpther invariablyinduce when they are well done.However, Samuel Shipman.that

is to say, Louis.was lucky in hisselection of Alexandria Carlisle as

his heroine. Miss Carlisle was a

delight all the way through theplay. Sho was simple, natural,emotional and charming. Sheneither over-acted nor over¬

dressed. Miss Carlisle has never

done anything better. Her dictionand her English were both Irre¬proachable.Lucille Watson .with gutta percha

notes in her voice that seemed tobe unduly emphasized, was not

particularly happy In her role ofthe disillusioned wife. CyrilKeightley gave a fine performance.It was good to find Fritz Williams,again with us for It Is interestingin these days to listen to an actorwho kno\rs his business from A toZ. and from whom one could ex¬

pect an excellent performance Inany role. That's what acting usedto be. Actors could play any role,whether they looked It or not andFritz Williams is one of 'em.
