Life and Beauty Found in Jane Cowl's Juliet; Alice Brady Does Not Cheapen Art in Variety

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. | 1 NE'S LOVE for Shakespeare I is determined to a great exI tent by the amount of life blood that one can put into his characters. Shakespeare need not be a disease. He need not be mental food only for highbrows. Shakespeare lives because he wrote men and women with real Kim--' life blood ln them mmsfi jam and placed these characters in real, living situations. IpPtJjfljK When a man and fIU ■ v ri a woman love> ln Hil JSTTT a Shakespeare • play, they love WjMf w \ * Just as we do, that Ws *** *•’ is when we love. .' >• Y | His men know y '■ how to fight and even perish. There JANE COWL is life and beauty ln Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet,” to my way of thinking, the greatest love drama ever written. Jane Cowl is one of the few that see both the human sunshine as well as the shadows in this play. Jane Cowl knows that Juliet had real life blood in her veins. Why not act Juliet as a really normal girl? Miss Cowl has answered that question by giving us such a Juliet. If Juliet be a human being and not a sad ghost, then why not make Romeo a real he-fellow? Rollo Peters has done that very thing. The result is that Romeo and Juliet actually live—they smile, laugh, cry and die. They dream and hope as all lovers do. Life blood (the artistry of both Miss Cowl and Peters) causes us today to see new beauty of poetry as well as realism (ideal realism, if there be such a thing) in Shakespeare’s works. As acted by Miss Cowl, Peters and the others, “Romeo and Juliet" becomes a symphony of love, told in words, action and in life color. Not a symphony foreign in tone, but a splendid romantic and dramatic fabric. Here we find Shakespeare come to life. Do not take a coj,y of the play to the Murat this week. Be content to know that Shakespeare has not been murdered. Enough of him remains. All traditions have not been thrown away in this version. Consider Shakespeare as real entertainment. The trouble with so many actors of the roles of Shakespeare Is that they give me the impression that they have become inhuman the minute they assume a character in one of the bard’s plays. Not so with Miss Cowl and Rollo Peters. They have found out that Shakespeare lives because his characters are human beings. Modern Method Then if Romeo and Juliet are real lovers, then why not have real sunshine and moonlight on the stage? Both the moon and the sun are beautiful. Why not put life beauty into these scenes Keep away t4ie undertaker until it is time for him to arrive. And thank goodness that is just the thing these modern players of Shakespeare actually do. Modern stage methods —lights, drapes, artistic suggestion and the close-up—are used to gain natural effects. Shakespeare yields to the progress that the stage Is making in lights and settings. The production used by Miss Cowl is one of beauty, a sort of a natural beauty in which you expect men and women to live. I call your attention to the famous balcony scene. Shakespeare knew that Romeo would court his lady love on a night when the moon was kind. You will see a real balcony.

-L-LL-ib L\ 0.0.X' a.

but the castle and the orchard is suggested by drapes. And what a setting it is for Juliet to linger on her balcony while Romeo courts her. It is in this scene that you feel the warmth, the passion, the hope and the happiness in the Juliet of Miss Cowl. Not for one minute do you feel that the undertaker is just around the corner. Miss Cowl knows that Juliet must' be beautiful in voice as w r ell as face. How beautifully does she read her lines. You are bound to catch the feeling that here we have a living Juliet. Then in the scenes in Friar Laurence's cell and in Juliet's chamber, we see a troubled Juliet. Not a merely hysterical and myth-like character, but a woman who knows how to give great love and also receive It. I am satisfied with the Romeo of Rollo Peters. Remember that this play is one of youth and not a Santa Claus and Old Lady Iceberg. A young, healthy and at times a lover who is badly bitten with the love bug—that’s the Romeo of.Mr. Peters. He finds much beauty while reading his lines. Even the death scene—the greatest chance ever given to a man to overact and tear up the stage—is a natural and humanly dramatic thing ln the hand sos Peters. The Real Test I am not going into comparisons of the other Romeos and Juliets that I have seen. I do know this one thing—at Vast 1 have seen these two characters played if they were human beings and not aged ghosts. And when I get that one thing out of a performance of Shakespeare I am more than satisfied. John Crawley is splendid as Friar iAurence. The same applies to Jessie Ralph as Nurse to Juliet- I found the entire cast aiding in giving us human Shakespeare. By going to the Murat this week to see Miss Cowl and her company, you are going to the Shakespeare of flesh as well as of poetry and beauty. At the Murat all week. •I* -I* -IMEETIXG ALICE BRADY ON THE VAUDEVILLE STAGE On arriving at Keith’s yesterday afternoon, I had a mean thought— Has Alice Brady parked her artistry on a legitimate bench when she went into vaudeville? Would she be able to carry over into the two-a-day that same sincerity and artistry which you expected of her when sb e waa touring in "*' orever After?” Regardless of hnw jO* you have consldered her vehicles ■ stage, am sure that you will agree jdjjg | sincere actress. Am ' KH tnu'-h i was on mate stage. She is ALICE presenting a draBRADY matic (might say a melodramatic) conversation, called “Cassie Cook of the Yellow Sea.” Cassie is a bad one. She is a rotter in Chinese atmosphere. Her companion, a man by the name of Bad Ijiinds McKinney, is more human junk. But these two fool each other into thinking that

they are what they are not. Not much action present, but Miss Brady by knowing how to use her voice, her tears and her hands, makes you forget the lack of dramatic action and you realize that she is giving the vaudeville stage dramatic worth of the same degree which characterized her other stage work. When she cries, real tears appear. Miss Brady for the time being is Cassie Cook, a lost one crying out against her station in life. It is Alice Brady that lifts this talky and at times clumsy vehicle to real dramatic heights. To those who attend only vaudeville, she will be a dramatic revelation. . To those who mix their

What I Like Best This Week Bert Lahr—As a burlesque policeman in “What’s the Idea?” Real honest to goodness fun. At Keith’s. Jane Cowl and Rollo Peters —Because of their human understanding of Shakespeare. At the Murat. Billy Sharp—Because he gets into human contact with! his audience by using his personality and a good jazz band. At the Lyric. Art. Landry—Because he is keeping pace with the progress being made in presenting jazz music. At the Palace. Alice Brady—Because she is Just as sincere in her dramatic work on the vaudeville stage as she was in the legitimate. At Keith’s. Nolan Leary—Because he and his company know how to put over a comedy playlet to real laughs. At the Lyric.

entertainment, they will recognize that Miss Brady has carried over her great talents from the legitimate stage to vaudeville. And that is a splendid contribution. She is giving her best dramatic self- See her. Her supporting company numbers four, but it is Alice Brady who will lift you through troubled dramatic waters. There must he variety in every vaudeville bill, that Is if it is good vaudeville. That you will find at Keith's this week. You will find j Bert Lahr and Mercedes present in I "What’s the Idea?" Here is some j of the grandest burlesque fun you j have ever encountered —the bur- j lesque policeman of Lahr. who in - j sists on singing “Peggy O’Neal" or j something like that. Here is trav j esty that will make you howl. If I j am wrong ln Judging this man, then I am ready to give up. Travety at its very best. Betancourt and company show what can be done with tables, chairs and several bottles. Eddie Weber and Marion Ridnor know how to burlesque the dance as*well as dance it properly. Splendid. Jack Benny with his violin —oh, well, he stops the show also. More good funi Burns and Allen have their moments In “Sixty-Forty.” Bert Grant and Mildred Feeley indulge ln a pleasant adventure ln melody. Togo stages his slide on a rope over the heads of the audience. Real vaudeville Is being offered at Keith's this week.

BIG TIME IDEAS USED AT LYRIC BY SHARP Jazz bands these days have to enter new fields either by showmanship or method of presentation. Billy Sharp and his musicians at the Lyric this week owe much of their success to the man who heads the organization. Sharp is one of those hard-work-ing men who keeps going at rapid speed during his entire act. At times I was confused in one method used by Sharp. I had the thought that he was plugging for applause with the repeated statement that “You haven't heard nothing yet.” But as I studied the audience, I realized that Sharp was merely getting intimate with them and those present loved this method of contact - Sharp centers his opening on his orchestra, a v healthy bunch of jazz sypeopators. Mile. Marionne is introduced and she “walks” a Spanish Alance. You see her real ability in her toe dance and her Wooden Soldier travesty with Sharp. This rev tie has class, speed and talent. One of the real reasons why tho Lyric's anniversary week bill is a knockout in popular entertainment in va.udeville history of tho city. Alexander and Elmore are educated to the eccentric variety idea. Alexander knows how to “get” his audience right at the start. He has a sort of an intimate comedy way about him. Miss Elmore is a splendid foil for the antics of Alexander. This team is way past the experimental stage. It is sure fire. It seems to me that this bill was put together just for Nolan Leary and company in “No Means Yes.” It has been wisely placed on this bill. The acts preceding it make this act a real laugh getter. It takes showmanship to build a show, you know. Vlsser and company Introduce the original duck. This barnyard representative assists one of the men in a song. Dogs and bears appear on the same stage during the act of Smith’s Animal Novelties. The Caledonian Four wear kilts and sing songs of this nature. Moro and Yaco throw away some good time with needless hokum before they register a real sensation with their melody. When I was present they were brought back many times. Movies complete the show. A great big amusement buy is being offered at the Lyric this week. -I- -I- -ITHERE IS MUSIC IN THE AIR AT PALACE After an absence of two years, ArJ Landry and his record recording orchestra is present at the Palace for the first half of the week. Landry goes in for impressionistic jazz, meaning by that—the combination of lights and comedy effects. Jazz leaders are still experimenting with the placing of lights of various colors to agree with the musical theme. Landry, like all others, Is still fee.'ng his way along in this line but he is making progress. He has

a splendid “.organization. He uses concert methods- Tho result is a deeper appreciation of popular music done with ease and understanding. The numbers have been well selected. Peggy Bremen and her brother show what can be done with ladders. The act starts out like a fairy story, but soon the ladders appear.. A real act In this line of acrobatic entertainment. Adelaide Jason and Helen Harrigan, singers, gave me a surprise when I was present because they registered so strongly and honestly with the audience. The girlies do not have wonderful voices, but they have selected songs which they put over in an intimate way that meets with the approval of the audience. Again we have the Bostock riding school act in our midst, with Lillian St. Leon as the chief rider. The act has a comedy finish, in which some young men attempt to graduate in the art of bareback riding in less than ten minutes. William Rives and Shirley Arnold in "Chickens” found the going mighty hard when the show was looked over by me. I am not the wise old bird, but it seems to me that Rives makes a terrible mistake by “kidding” members of the audienco who happen to leave the theater or come in while he is on the stage. This should be prohibited as it :s bad taste. The movie feature is Jack Holt in "Empty Hands.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. + -I- -IA BIG SECRET IS EXPOSED AT CAPITOL A rather troublesome question is answered this week in “Go-To-It,” the current show at the Capitol. It seems that a question has arisen about the source of strength of Breitbart, the strong man of vaudeville. Up until this time h r father has been given the honor, but Gene Shuler says this is not so. He maintains that the honor goes to Breitbart’s mother. To prove his point he tells of the crowds that surround the mother’s little house in Germany: all day long she sits there with two great iron bars ln her hands —she is knitting iron fences. Although this show is somewhat better off regarding comedians than has the last few attractions, there is still space for quite a bit of improvement. Wally Jackson makes himself quite popular with the audianee with his dances and eccentric idea of fun. Melino, Listette and Kogan also come in for several encores. A good trio. Although I could not find her

Would have liked to have seen more of her. Ross, Francis and Du Ross also have a pleasing little specialty. To me the most attractive musical number was “Apple Blossom Time,” by Althea Barnes. Another one I liked was “Dixie Rose, Helen Du Ross. A dance by seven of the chorus I also thought good. Os the show, I liked Althea Barnes, Helen Du Ross and Wally Jackson best.
