Ford wiil hid adieu to tbe season next week with the appearance of Jeanne Eagels in "Rain." The drama is eminently fitting ns a valedictory. In the judgment of competent critics and public alike it ranks with the best of serious plays produced in the American theater for some years. It opened at the Maxine Elliott, New York, on November 7, 1922, nnd ran continuously until May 31. 1924, a total of 041 performances. It has since been on tour.

"Rain" was adapted for' the stage by John Colton and Clemence Randolph from a short story, "Miss by Wi Somerset Miwigham. The action takes plnce in the hotel-store of Trader Joe Horn, on the island of Tutulla, port Baltimore actress who has an important role in" the Jewish Theater's production of "God.

Harold Healy displays his pet to Jeanne Kagels in a scene from "Rain," the drama coining to Ford's next Monday night. Miss Eagels is the star of the play. gCOTT ITZi A LD' new novel, "Tbe Great liatsby," is in form no more than a glorified anecdote, nnd not too probable at that. The scene is the Long Island that huiijrs precariously on the edges of tit New York, city ash dumps the Long Island of gaudy villas and bawdy bouse parties. The theme the old one of a romantic and preposterous love the ancient fidtli ad irrura motif reduced to macabre humor.

The principal personage is a pounder typical of those parts a fellow who seems to know everyone and yet remains unknown to all a young man with a great deal of mysterious money, the tastes of a movie actor and, under ft all, the simple sentimentality of a pomewhat sclerotic fat woman. This clown Fitzgerald rushes to his path in nine short chapters. The other (performers in the Totentanz are of a like, or even worse quality. One of Jhera is a rich man who carries on a grotesque intrigue with the wife of a garage keeper. Another is a woman golfer who wins championships by cheating.

A third, a sort of chorus to the tragie farce, is a bond salesman symbol of the New America Fitzgerald clears them all off at last by a triple bir'eherr. The garage keeper's Wife, rushing out upon the road to escape her husband's third degree, is run down ind killed by the wife of her lover. The garage keeper, misled by Hie lover, bills the lover of the lover's iwife tbe Great Gatsby himself. Another bullet, and the garage keeper is also reduced to offal. Ohoragus fades way.

The crooked lady golfer departs. The lover of the garage keeper's wife goes back to his own consort. The immense house of the Great Gatsby stands Idle, its bedrooms given over to the bat and the owl, its cocktail shakers dry. The curtain lurches down. II.

'HIS story is obviously unimportant, and though, as I shall show. It has its place in the Fitzgerald canon, it is rertainly not to be put on the snme ahelf with, say, "This Side of Paradise." What ails it, fundamentally, is the plain fact that it is simply a story ithat Fitzgerald seems to be far more interested in maintaining its suspense than in getting under the skins of its people. It is not that they are false it is that they are taken too much for granted. Only Gatsby himself gen- ninely lives and breathes. The rest are mere marionettes often astonishingly lifelike, but nevertheless not quite alive.

What give's the story distinction is omething quite different from the management of the action or the handling of the characters; it is the charm land beauty of the writing. In Fitzgerald's first days it seemed almost unimaginable that he would ever show such qualities. His writing, then, was extraordinarily slipshod at times almost illiterate. He seemed to be devoid of any feeling for the color and savor of words. He could see people clearly and -be could devise capital situations, but as writer qua writer he was apparently little more than a bright college boy.

The critic's of the Republic were not slow to discern the- fact. They praised "This Side of Paradise" as a tory, as a social document, but they were almost unanimous in (denouncing it as a piece of writing. It is vastly to Fitzgerald's credit that be appears to have taken their'caveats seriously and pondered them to good effect, in "The Great Gatsby" the highly agreeable fruits of that pondering are visible. The story, for all its basic triviality, has a fine texture, a careful and brilliant finish. The obvious phrase is simply not in it.

The sentences roll along smoothly, sparkingly, variously. There is evidence in every line of hard and intelligent effort. It is a quite new Fitzgerald wiio emerges from this little book and the qualities that he shows are dignified and solid. "This Side of Paradise," iafter all, might have been merely a lucky accident. But "The Great Gatsby." a far inferior story at' bottom, is plainly the product of a sound and stable talent, conjured into being by hard work.

FINDS LAFAYETTE RELIC Farmer Digs Up Cannon Ball Fired In 1778 Campaign. West Conshohocken. May 2. 8. Gordon Smyth, of this borough, well-known historian, has presented to the Valley Forge Historical Kociety a fonr-poiind cannonball, believed to have been fired' In the Hevoutionary War at a skirmish which took place between the British and Americans near the farmhouse of I'eter Matmn in 1778, when General Iifayette was in command.

Nathan Bnrtrsm found the ball while plowing in his truck garden on the sire of the old Mntan property several days ago. The Mataon house was demolished during the skirmish. MENCKEN. quite succumbs to the former. The thing that chiefly interests the basic Fitzgerald is still the florid show of modern American life and especially the devil's dance that goes on at the top.

He is unconcerned about the sweatings and sufferings of the nether heart what engrosses him is the high carnival of those who have too much money to spend and too much time for the spending of it. Thciir idiotic pursuit of sensation, their almost incredible stupidity and triviality, their glittering swinishness these are the things that go Into his notebook. In "The Great Gatsby," though he does not go below the surface, he depicts this rattle and hullabaloo with great gusto and, I believe, with 'sharp accuracy. The Long Island he sets before us is no fanciful Alsatia: it actually exists. More, it is worth any social historian's study, for its influence upon the rest of the country is immense arid profound.

What is vogue among the profiteers of Manhattan and their harlots today is imitated by the flappers of the Bible Belt country clubs weeks after next. The whole tone of American society, once so highly formalized and so suspicious of change, is now taken large' from frail ladies who were slinging hash a year ago. ritzgerald showed tbe end products of the new dispensation in "This Side of Paradise." To "The Beautiful and the Damned" he cut a bit lower. In "The Greilt Gatsby" he comes near the bottom. Social leader and jail bird.

grand lady, and kept woman, are here almost indistinguishable. We are in an atmosphere grown increasingly levan- tine. The Paris of the Second Empire pales to a sort of snobbish Chautauqua; the New York of Ward McAllister becomes the sceue of a convention of Gold Star Mothers. To find a parallel for the grossness and debauchery that now. reign in Xcw York one must go back to the Constantinople of Basil I.

Oprrtfrt. 192S.1 KMC San Carlo Opera Company In "La. Tosca." Like "Carmen," "Tosca" is one of those operas sure to strike fire if at all impressively presented, and the performance of the popular Puccini work by the San Carlo Company at the Lyric last night, as the second of the short season of had many points of excellence. As on the first evening, the principals gained in assurance, in spiritedness, in fervor and in effective ness as the performance progressed, the second act being definitely more stirring than the first. To be sure, jtt is the sec ond act wherein the opera rises perhaps to its greatest height of dramatic intensity, the third being far more subdued and restrained, though it is not in any sense to be regarded as an anticlimax.

It has always been a question whether the character of Scarpia or that of Tosca was the" more important. As a matter of fact, they have generally held equal rank, being assigned to artists of outstanding ability. Mario Valle, the Scarpia of last night, has had much success in this part, and his reputation, as measured by his achievement last night, is In the main deserved. He has poise of a certain sort and vocal distinction, though there is in his voice an occasional disturbing vibrato which leaves one uncertain as to his accuracy of pitch. What militates against his action is an ambling walk.

He has not the compelling, almost tiger-like, virile stride of other Scarpias heard here, but gives an impression rather of amiability which is at variance with the conception of the Roman police chief. In so far as physical peculiarities did not detract from the impersonation, Valle was forceful, effective and convincing. He experienced not the slightest trouble with the high notes that bother other barytones, and his low tones were clear and ringing. Anne Roaelle, as Tosca. presented a most attractive figure, which proved to be more substantial later on than at her first appearance.

She also gained in freedom of vocalization as the action went on, and in that famous second act rose quite equal to the general conception of intensity. Her voice, which had at first seemed to possess a sort of immature quality, broadened and developed an impressive degree of power, being clear at all times, so that she held the attention of the audience closely. Gaetano Tommasini, in some respects admirable as Cavaradossi, was less satisfying in others. Though the name suggests Italian antecedents, Tomma- sini's appearance had something Celtic in its general aspect. He aang with ease, and his tenor is clear and true.

except for very occasional lapses from pitch. However, he is given to attempt ing incursions into the dramatic style of singing every now and then when sustained tones would be far better cal ciliated to bring out the fineness of his voice, which makes his performance somewhat uneven, though it must be said that on the whole he bore himself with dignity and excellent restraint, and carried a strong appeal. Francesco Curci made a sufficiently servile and sinister police tagent to please the audience, while Cfsare An-gelottl. as a fugitive political prisoner, displayed a voice of such fine quality as to prompt the wish he might have been heard in a role where he had more to do. Natale Cervi, as the sacristan.

perhaps emphasized the buffo nature of the role a little more than refinement of art called for, but he sang well. I'ietro de Biasi. as a gendarme, also deserves commendation for his undoubt ed capability as a singer and actor. The hidden chorus showed good training and the orchestra was heard to great giving the effect of far larger number of instruments than it really consists of. The scenic ef fects were pleasing.

Peggy Shaw plays the feminine lend. cause it is of an order not often witnessed In American writers, and seldom indeed in those who start off with a popular success.

The usual progression, indeed, is in the opposite direction. Every yenr first books of great promise are published and every year a great deal of stale drivel is printed by the promising authors of year before last. 'The rewards of literary success in this country are so vast that, when they come early, they are not unnaturally somewhat demoralizing. The average author yields to them readily. Having struck the bull's-eye once, he is too proiid to learn new tricks.

Above all, be is too proud to tackle hard work. The result is a gradual degeneration of whatever talent he had at the beginning. He begins to imitate himself. He peters out. There is certainly no sign of petering wit in Fitzgerald.

After his first experimenting he plainly sat himself down calmly to consider his deficiencies. They were many nnd serious. He was, first of alt, too facile. He could write entertainingly without giving thought to form and organization. He was, secondly, somewhat amateurish.

The materials and methods of his craft, I ven ture, rather puzzled him. He used them ineptly. His books showed brilliancy in conception, but they were crude and even ignorant in detail. They suggested, only too often, the improvisations of a pianist playing furiously by ear but unable to read notes. These are the defects that he has now got rid of.

"The Great Gatsby," I seem to recall, was announced a long while ago. It was probably several years on the stocks. It shows on every page the results of that laborious effort. Writ ing it, I take it, was painful. The au thor wrote, tore up, rewrote, tore up again.

There are pages so artfully con- trived that one can no more imagine Improvising them than one can imagine improvising a fugue. hey are full of little delicacies, charming turns of phrase, penetrating second thoughts. In other words, they are easy and excellent reading which is what always comes out of hard writing. iv.
