Abbey Plays Called True Work of Art
Action, Character and "Rich Beauty of Language Mark Bill.
By JAMES THRASHER
The Abbey Players’ engagement ft English’s, which closed last night, deserves a literal usage of that overworked adjective “meteoric.” For surely nothing in a long time has dazzled our theatrical sky with such steady brilliance as this group of Dublin artists. Not forgetting Maurice Evans and Helen Hayes of recent memory, the Abbey productions still stand apart as examples of what a unified artistic purpose can give us in the way of thorough accomplishment and satisfaction. Their virtues read like the list of dramatic strivings. First of all, the plays were excellent. “The Playboy of the Western World,” “The Rising of the Moon,” “The Far Off Hills” and Sean O'Casey’s “Juno and the Paycock,” which closed the engagement last night, provide a revealing cross-section of the Irish dramatic art. The plays have action, brilliant discernment of character and motive, and rich beauty of language. And vet they avoid the pitfalls of artiness.
Care Bestowed on Parts
As to the playing of them, that subject has been dwelt upon too often to need much further comment here. The care the Abbey Players take with each part, large or small, is notorious. The music of their voices, the rhythm of powerful and poetic lines is something to hear rather than speak about. Their comedy is irresistable. O’'Casey’s play is a dramatic landmark of this centurv. It mirrors the Irish character with frankness and sympathy, and the country’s very history, with its infinite and brave capacity for bearing sorrow. The play of comedy against tragedyv is masterly. Sorrow descends upon the slum-dwelling Boyles in thickening clouds. legacy fails to appear. Poor Mary is betrayed by the voung Bentham. !

That Barry Fitzgerald Bovle—a sort of Irisn Jeeter Lester, to risk Erin's wrath—an amusing | and somehow sympathetic character is to his great credit as weil as to O'Casey’'s. Mr. Fitzgerald is | a consummate master of comedy. F. J. McCormick and Arthur | Shields did another turn-about as Joxer and Johnny, after three wide- | ly divergent parts in the other productions. tours de force, Eileen Crowe's Juno | was as ‘excellent tragedy as her | Marian in the afternoon's bill had | been delightful ‘comedy. Maureen ! Delany's first appearance as Mrs. | Madigan was greeted with ‘cheers | by an audience that had taken her to their hearts in previous appearances. Aideen O'Connor as Mary completed the principals in a cast of uniform excellence. With the ‘exception of a few of the younger actors, all these players are individual artists. Yet we must go to music—specifically, to | chamber music ensembles of high aims and accomplishments—to find the counterpart of their ‘extraordinary, self-effacing teamwork. Comedy of High Order My sympathy to the hundreds who failed to see the matinee performance of Lennox Robinson's “The Far Off Hills.” For the Abbey Players blessed the ‘sparsely settled house with comedy playing of such high order as We probably shan't see again until they return.

The whole cast of “Juno,” excepting Mr. Fitzgerald, appeared in the «far Off Hills.” Words are poor praise for Miss Crowe's Marian, for the Clancy of Mr. Shields, the infectiously gay performances of the young sisters by Misses O'Connor and Mulhern, and Miss Delaney’s superb Susie. And for all the rest of the cast of sterling artists whose smaller parts shouldn't be dismissed in the usual cavalier manner.

In a rapid, sarcastic sing-song she recited her Hollwood working schedule and it was ‘easy to guess that she doesn’t like it much. Rising, acting, classes, luncheon, acting, recording, more ‘classes, lying on a roof in the sun (“That's a Tiproaring experience, I ‘can tell you, radio rehearsals, radio broadcasts, study, reading, bedtime—all these are mapped out pretty rigidly.
Likes Personal Appearances
Those are some of the reasons why she likes personal appearance tours such as she recently made to eight cities. Another reason is that Judy is a veteran of eight years of vaudeville, Her parents were professionals and her father, Frank A. Gumm, now is a Lios Angeles theater owner. She and two elder sisters toured as a singing trio until Suzanne married and broke up the Judy then walked into the Metro casting office, hot-cha'd a couple of numbers, and got a job. As simple as that.
Anyway, she still likes the road, “You know,” she said, “the most fun is to finish the last show and get a bunch of actors together and go out and get big steaks somewhere and sit around and talk. They won't let me ‘do that here.”
She worked hard on her tour. After doing five shows and dozens of interviews a day in New York, Judy and Mrs. Gumm went to Providence hoping to get a little rest before she played Pittsburgh.
“Instead,” said Miss Garland, “we were met at 7:30 in the morning by a 93-piece band, the Governor, the Mayor and T7000 people. I played eight shows a day there besides benefits for the firemen and plumbers and grass widows and who-all. It wasn't dull, anyway.”
“Judy Was Funny”
Speaking of benefits, Victor Orher table and told her she was to go to New York soon to appear at some ‘extra-special benefit there. “Clear to New York for one benefit?” Judy gasped. “Why, that's as silly as playing a split week in Switzerland!” Mrs. Gumm joined my hee-haws at that one. She's amused by her daughter, and should be. She recalled, “Judy Was funny on the stage in Minneapolis. At the end of heer act she had to say ‘...and I hope you all see my latest picture “So-and-So,” which will open at this theater Monday.’ “Judy hates anything like that, so she said it in a monotone and then ended, apologetically . i you | don't mind the commercial’.
