GREAT STAR THRILLS AUDIENCES AGAIN Mrs. Leslie Carter Still Retains Her Grand Voice and the Ability to Create Big Dramatic Moments. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN ACTING of the old school by a member of one of the best of that school is to be found in Arthur Casey's production of "The ! Shanghai Gesture." Os c9urse lam speaking of Mrs Leslie Carter and she had me under j her power the other night in this Chinese melodrama just as she did twenty-two years ago when I saw her in "Vasta Herne.” I recognized the worth of the old school acting as I studied Mrs. Carter as she took word by word and really tore them apart, getting every ounce of emotion possible from each word It'is in the second act i the banquet scene when Mother Goddam exposes Sir Guy Charteris as her first, lover and her betrayer) i

that Mrs Carter rose to her greatest heights. She tugged at the heart strings of the character to such an extent that passion and hate ran all

over the sta,ge. Yes, even the scenery rocked as Mrs Carter let flow her voice in her attack upon Sir Guy Here is more than just a spark of genius, more than just a, suggestion of genius but great and powerful acting of the theater Mrs. Carter is theater although she dates back to an older school than today. But the years have done no serious

J •>

damage to her art nor her voice. She seemed to put every ounce of j her strength into the second act. There was a natural let down in the third act but in the fourth Mrs I Carter again rocked the house with her emotion and her sufferings of Mother Goddam. I am glad that I have seen both Mrs. Carter and Florence Reed as Mother Goddam. Both have different conceptions of the character because their method of creating the character is different. Different schools of acting, "The Shanghai Gesture’’ is really a dramatic monologue for the star playing the chief role. The other I characters are merely background or atmosphere for this cruel and wicked woman. Here is great and powerful acting on the part of Mrs Carter, a woman who has meant much to the stage and who still through all the years remains the great star. The years have been kind to Mrs. Carter and maybe she has been kind to them. One of the real accomplishments of this production was the work of Frances Dale as Poppy. She was splendid in the drunk scene in the third act and splendidly dramatic in her death scene when Mother Goddam strangles her with her hands. Milton Byron made a good Koo Lot Foo. his makeup being especially good. Mildred Hastings gets an ovation when she appears in two different roles. Donald Woods is the Prince Oshima and Douglas Wood is Sir Guy Charteris. Here is thrilling theater, splendidly done. Os course the sets are different than used by Florence Reed but Casey has done wonders in the four sets used, especially when one considers the prices he is getting a

If you are adult and love melodramatic theater, then see Mrs. Carter in "The Shanghai Gesture.” Now at English’s all week. 000 MIGHTY GOOD BILL IS NOW AT THE LYRIC One of the most difficult things to do on the variety stage is to present a sketch that will hold up from the start to the finish. ‘‘Snobbishness’’ is a good sketch and it is still better because it has the services of Blanche Sweet, I admire this woman because she does not pull any of that “dear audience” or "Hollywood” stuff. One of the finest dancing acts that the Lyric has had in many months is the offering of Wilma and Earlyne Wallace. Master Eugene and his xylophone tear up the house. He is a sensation and a fine little showman. Smart conversation is handed out by Maker and Redford. Nice work. Carpenter and Ingram are harmony singers. They make good. The trained dogs of A1 Gordon are good comedians. The movie is "A Holy Terror.” Now at the Lyric.
