4 Theatrical Happenings "THE LILY." Poli Company Gives Stirring Performance of Emotional Play. "The Lily," a play of stirring emotional appeal. is being. given cellent pretional appeal, is being given an excellent presentment by the Poli stock company. The interest centers in the second and third acts, in the first of which begins the working out.
of the dynamic climax, which comes with Odette's tremendous outburst in the third act. The first act of the act, though foundation, a superfluous, play lays the and the last lets down in power, necessarily. The company suggests much of diligence and application in rehearsals, so that yesterday afternoon's per. formance was unusually smooth for a play which calls for the expenditure of so much emotion. Some of the audience, however, spoiled the effect of several of the speeches by Inept laughter, failing apparently to appreciate how closely comedy is allied to tragedy.
It must have been somewhat disconcerting to the actors to have their discriminating acting go for naught, but they pluckily kept on and there was no perceptible drop In the tension. The honors of the play fall to Claudia Lucas, E. J. Blunkall. John Hunter Booth and Pauline Marshall.
Miss Lucas was truly magnificent in the scene, in which Christiane defies her father. She played it with 80 much of discrimination that the audience sat spellbound under the magic of her. art. It was not Miss Lucas, but the woman whose soul revolted from the dictation of a father who allowed himself every liberty and permitted none to his daughters. Miss Lucas avoided the hysterical note but the delivery of her lines were none the less impressive.
Even the gigglers remained silent during the delivery of those impassioned speeches. Mr. Blunkall had the difficult task of making the father plausible. There is every opportunity for caricature, but Mr. Blunkall cold unMr.
Blunkall brought out the cold unfeeling hardness of the man. He should give an admirably rounded portraiture before the week is ended. Mr. Booth ingratiated himself with the audienco because perfect simplation of the man whose guiding principle was suaviter in modo. Calm and dispassionate he held the warring family in check until they lost all control of themselves.
It was a finshed conception of an ideal friend of the family. Miss Marshall labored under the stress of nervousness, due to a first appearance in a most exacting part. There was a bit too much of the lachrymose in her moments of revolt; in fact, there was more of plea than defiance in Odette's denunciation of the father who had 60 wronged his children. Therefore it lacked the dynamic power which the playwright intended as a contrast to the docility which characterizes Odette up to the final outburst, when she lets loose all the pent-up emotions of years of repression. The scene was -intended as a theatrical tour de force and was So played in the original production.
Rogers Barker had little to do AS Arnaud; but played with a quict impressiveness which pleased the audience. Miss Cantwell's giggle is certainly irresistible and has spontaneity precents It being tiresome. Mr. Quin had the part of a weakling, but made the most of his opportunities. Other members the cast played the parts assigned to them with commendable ability.
Mrs. Carpenter estimated the afternoon attendance correctly at 1105 and Miss Bruneau was second with a guess of 1104. Next week's play will be "Glittering Gloria," a lively farce intended to give the' company a rest from the strenuosity of this weeks' play. Two new players will join the company next week. McQuarrie will succeed Mr.
Booth, who goes to Norwich, where is an established favorite, and Helen McKellar will succeed Corinne Cantwell. Miss Cantwell leaves Saturday night for Duluth, where she has been engaged to play ingenue leads with the Forbes stock company. 3 Gymnastic Please.
