GALSWORTHY’S ‘LOYALTIES’ DUE AT ENGLISH’S THEATER

All-English Cast to Appear in Great London and New York Success Next Week Chauncey Olcott Opens Thursday at Murat in 'Heart of Paddy Whack,’ Charles Dillingham will present at English’s next week, opening Monday, John Galsworthy’s drama, “Loyalties,” with an all-English cast. This drama has been acclaimed by both_critics and the public in New York and London as one of the best plays presented in the last ten years. / On Thursday night at the Murat, Chauncey Olcott will open a four-day engagement in “The Heart of Paddy Whack.”

The Murat will be dark Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday because Margaret Anglin was canceled, but will appear here later in the season. -I- -I* -IPOWERFTL DRAMA OPENS ~ MONDAY NIGHT AT ENGLISH’S Charles Dillingham will present at English’s for the week beginning Monday, John Galsworthy's thrilling drama, “Loyalties,’’ proclaimed by London and New York critics one of the greatest of modern plays, a work that will outlive this generation. “Loyalties” will be done here by the same cast seen in New York the greater part of last season, with exceptions in minor roles. "Loyalties” commanded the respect of the metropolitan reviewers because of its well-nigh perfect construction. The first few sentences create the atmosphere and the plot begins to move before the curtain has been up a minute. Then, step by step, with infinite detail, but without the waste of a word, the climax is built up, followed at once by a catastrophe—and almost before you realize it, the play is ended. Galsworthy’s character drawing is no less amazing and vital. Being a man’s play, crammed with the talk of men, the acts of men, the emotions of men, the male characters are more sharply drawn. Only one woman plays a decisive role, and even she is not absolutely requisite to the ethical problem. “Loyalties” has to do with the theft of a large sum of money and the detection of the criminal. It is not a detective play in the ordinary sense of the phrase, but rather the novel narrative of a master dramatist bent on presenting a mystery drama in anew way. The play gets its title from its main theme, that of loyalty to friends, to profession, to caste, to race and to that intangible, idealistic thing called justice. The English company imported from l.ondon—all the scenes of "Loyalties” are laid in England, and the character are all English—consist of the following: James Dale. Charles “lartermaine Victor Tandy. Herbert Bunston. Charles Erdale. Henry Mor--11. Henry Carvill. Derring Wells, ” ■■ ■'</ Stephens, Harry Dornton. ottola Nesmith. Cynthia i>atham and Mary Forbes. IRISH FAVORITE ARRIVES THI'RSI)AY’ AT MURAT “The Heart of Paddy Whack.” by far the best of the long list of romances exploited by Chauncey Olcott. has been selected by his new manag ers, the Selwyns, for a tour of the star appearing at the Shubert-Murat for three nights and Saturday matinee, commencing next Thursday night, Jan. 10. No bedroom farces, triangle plots or sex problems plays for him. He has his own re<9pe which never fails to satisfy the palates of his clientele. Here it is. The love of m. man for a maid, complications galore, frustrated villainy, plenty of laugh-making Incidents, a happy ending; the whole garnished with tuneful melodies of the “ould sod.” This Is the recipe that has made him loved, respected and wealthy. Rachel Crothers, who has achieved fame as a playwright through her delightful comedy, “The Three oft Ts.” "Mary, the Thirty,” besides several previous stage offerings, is the author of “The Heart of Paddy Whack.” and thi6 is the play that holds records for box office receipts acquired on a sensational transcontinental tour three seasons ago.
