The caet: fiuaan Edit Prowl Lionel Pap Juatlalao Babbitt -Perry Foster Harry Damask KiogaTord Angelica Damask Katherine htaudlnz Marcui Brutus gnap Cilya 1 Lord Mulberry Sloffat Johnston 1 Mrs Xantippe Helrdre Doyle Msho Catherine Wlli-ird 1 Maria l( I Jack Mulberry Nicholas Joy The Jewett Tlayers amused a largo audience last night at the Copley Theatre by an effective performance of I Augustin Dalys rollicking farce A 1 Night Off. The play dates back to the I period when no dramatist was ashamed to follow haksperes example and help himself over the hard spots in building the plot by the use of copious asides and goliloquys. These aids to the playwright were mostly retained in last night's production, but Daiv made them to funny In themselves that one forget ail that modern courses Iq dramatic technique teach against them. This iiarce is in the class with Charleys Aunt' and The Private Secretary. both soon to be revived at the Copley.

Its plot is a clever reworking of pld well tried material. There were whole scenes that kept the audience in such roars of laughter that the actors could not be heard above half the time. It would be too bad to spoil ahy of the fun by giving away the various amusing surprises sprung on the. audience through trying to summarize the healthily absurd story of the play, which has not an objectionable line In It. Mr CUve as Marcus Brutus Snap, actor manager of a barnstorming theatrical troupe, would have made a hit by merely delivering his lines with appropriate' emphasis.

But he did much more than that, maktng a preposterous character seem lifelike and natural. Percy Foster as Prof Babbitt of Cambridge Uhlversity. author of "The Beautiful Sabine. a tragedy produced with disastrous' results by Snaps company, did some effective character acting in quieter moments. Mr Kingsford as Dr Harry Damask was a gracefully henpecked husband.

Mr Jov was his usual well-bred self as Jack Mulberry. but thoroughly In the picture nevertheless. Mav Ediss made much of the silly sentimental housemaid. Katherine Standing and Catherine Willard as the professors two daughters looked well and flirted not too subtly. Miss Doyle was an appropriately awe-tnspiring wife.

The play moved quickly, without any dragging stage business. Everybody seeme to think It a good show. Attractions Held Over and Others Soon to Come COLONIAL THEAKRE Two Little Girls in Blue. delightfully entertaining musical comedy, with settings of rare beauty. The third week.

HOLLIS STREET THEATRE "Blood and Sand," play made by Tom Cushing from novel of like name by Belasco First time here. The cast: Gsrabato Rogers A room attendant.

A crowded audience welcomed the deservedly popular actor with great cordiality and tol-lowed his performance with eager interest. The play is not so gory as the novel, for we see nothing of the sanguinary bull ring, but it is sufficiently turgid to gratify those 1 who crave their in1'5 drama highly flavored. Readers of the book may hope for more of Ibanez thah is to be found in the play, but a wholly satisfactory dramatization of a popular novel has rarely, if ever, been given to the stage." Several writers of greater experience than' Mr Cushing are Said to have submitted dramatizations of the' novel 'to Mr fekinner.

Evidently Mr Cushing work was deemed the best. He has not' im wisely focused his play upon the infatuation of Juan Gallardo, the bullfighter of lowly birth, for Donna Sol, the sensual ana heartless aristocrat. It is true thht he has done little more than outline the framework of the story and failed to preserve tha literary charm of the original, but he has succeeded in making a play that is admirably suited tp Mr -Skinners requirements. Alone, the play might not be one of high distinction, but graced by Mr Skinners splendidly colorful Impersonation of the fascinating toreador, it is well worth seeing. At -the beginning of the pray we see El Gallardo at the height.

of his glory as the champion bullfighter of Spain. He is wildly cheered by the populace outside his hotel, and many dignitaries pay him honor in his (ressinff room. He is preparing for a 'great battle in the arena, and the audience is regaled with an intimate view of the frills and furbelows that the vanity of a toreador requires shall be a part of his makeup. His wife and child have come from their country-home to wish him well, but he sends them away when the beautiful Donna Sol is announced. The latter is a lady of high degree who is famous for many love affairs.

Gallardos prowess in the bqll ring has appealed strongly to her and she has Chosen him. as the latest victim of her favors. She invites him to her home, and there we have the unusual spectacle of a rampant bullfighter performing comic errors in a drawing room. The scene closes With the toreador madly clasping the lady in his arms and eass.onately kissing her as he carries er out into the darkness of the garden. We next see him at his home in the country, from a wound.

For three months he has' heard nothing from Donna SoL She has cast him off as she had many another lover. Disregarding the orders of his physician and the pleadings of his family, he tears the bandages from his leg and rushes away to Madrid. He will fight the bulls again and win back the ladys love. After making a sorry showing In the arena he' gets himself beastly drunk and at night breaks into Donna Sol's borne. There is a frenzied scene between the two and the lady despairs of her life.

But the matador contents himself with shooting many bullets into a bull3 head that is one of the ornaments of the room. In the last scene, a chapel outside the arena, Gallardo is brought in fatally gored by a bull he could not conquer. He dies in the arms cf his devoted wife, but his last words are fer the faithless Donna Sol. Mr Skinner is no longer young, but who else is there who could give to Ibanez' bullfighter such virility, such sustained emotional fervor, such romantic charm and such picturesque appeal? Surely there is none. In this beautiful beast, as the matador's inamorata calls him, Mr Skinner has added another memory-haunting figure to his remarkable gallery of picturesque stage rascals.

Catherine Calvert, recently returned from the movies, gives a vividly convincing portrayal of the licentious Donna Sol, and her dark and flashing beauty lends due physical allure to the character. Madeline Delmar plays the role of the devoted wife with the simplicity and sincerity demanded. John Rogers is excellent as the imperturbable ard Mr Skinners daughter, Cornelia, now playing her first role on the stage, makes-a minor part effective. She also sings a quaint little song. The play is beautifully staged, accurate in details of furnishings and costumes and generally fine in illusion of Spanish atmosphere.

a play in three acts from Joseph C. Lincolns 'novel. aiptatlon by Marlon Short and Pauline Phelps. The cast: Jed Wiulow, Shavings Walter Gilbert Capt Sam Hunniwell Kent Pklneas Babbitt Harold riiee I.eander Babbitt Aubrey BiSmvortti t'haflp Phillips Benjamin Hadhold Mai Leonard Grover Chariton Gabriel Bearso Ralph Kemb-y Roscoe Hoi way Henry tiurvey Ruth Roach Barbara Armstong. Theresa Kllburn Maude Hunniwell Myrtle CUrk The Boston Stock Company pleased a crowded theatre last evening witn their performance of Shavings, the Cape Cod comedy that made a hit here at the Tnsmont about two years ago.

Shavings is built around a toy-maker with an odd, gentle radiance, and is shot with typical Cape town character, i It has a finale that is different. I Walter Gilbert plays the title role. 1 He is Jed Winslow, called variously Uncle Jed, Jed or just Shavings, all depending up(i whether he is being addressed by his fascinating tenant, Ruth Armstrong (Viola Roach), or winsome daughter Barbara (Theresa Kllburn), or Capt Sam Iunniwell (Mark Kent), or hectic Gab, in which Ralph Remley draws such riotous laughter. According to Jeds own explanation, his nickname is derived from the family feeling between wood ana his head-Mr Gilberts characterization is' a piece of art. Due to the extreme vagaries attendant to a character of a peaceful soul, absent-minded, pure-hearted and intent on the making of his pole is difficult.

Once in awhile hq seemed to be quoting lines, but usually he was disarmingly convincing. Miss Roach was superb as usual. Myrtle Clark is the leading woman this week in the role of Maude Hunniwell. She was the required charming young person. Theresa Kllburn, the child, immediately won the affection of the audience.

Mark Kent, the blustering old captain, and Harold Chase, the crabbed Phineas Babbit, give a regular Fourth of July celebration when' they' appear. Aubrey! Boswortb. the wounded soldier lover, was true to life. Frank Chariton was somewhat too heavy about light conversation upon his entrance. Otherwise he was captivating as Maj Leonard Grover.

Henry purvey, the inveterate salesman, and Benjamin Iladfield, the fascinating widow's brother, completed an excellent cast. IRENE 80BD0NI STARS IN THE KEITH BILL Features Include a Comedy Hit by Gallagher and Shean Venita Gould in Impersonations Going to Keiths Theatre this -week, Is Bimply a matter of what one likes best. There is both variety and quality. For example, Irene Bordoni brings one of the features, a cycle of American, French and 'Spanish popular songs, but that is not all she brings also a striking personality and some of the latest Parisian potions in the way of feminine adornment. In her first number, The Charm of the Mascot, she wears a gown of white, rich In lace garniture gnd Spanish in type, especially the headdress anti graceful mantilla.

As the 'French girl of the. cafe, one sees quite a different characterization, and later on it is the conventional woman of the stage. A stunning blue gown and a hat glistening In sliver effects serve well in setting off the attractions of this singing beauty, recalled several times in recognition of her talents, quite as much those of the actress as the vocalist. One song sometimes makes a musical production a success, and certainly the Mr Shean-Mr Gallagher number at Keith's this week the names are written the same in identifying the team would win popularity in any sort of environment. It is one of the hits of the show.

Another worth-while act Is provided by Maude Powers and Vernon Wallace, called "Georgia on Broadway. Interesting because quite out of the ordinary ana also because of the interpretation of the words and music. Miss Venita Gould has a strong number, impersonations of stage celebrities. Her drawings of scenes introducing George Cohan, Julian Eltinge, Mrs Fisk, Grace La Rue and Lenore Ulric reveal powers not only remarkable as regards absorption of the characteristics of the persons mentioned, but versatility unusual in dramatic presentation. There is quite a fling at the gossips in Edwin Burkes new comedy, I Heard it.

BOHEMIAN GIRL-AT THE ARLINGTON Revival of Baits Melodious Old Operetta Gives Pleasure to a Large Audience ARLINGTON THEATRE Bohemian Girl, by Michael Balfe, opera four acts, in-English: Thaddeus Norman Arnold! Count Stanley Deacon FlorestMn William R. Northway Devilshoof Herbert Waterous Captain of the Guard Haallt Arline Helena Morrill The Gypsy Queen Elva Boyden Buda Margaret Gilbert Frank Waller, conductor. An audience that filled the Arlington Theatre heard the opening performance by the Boston Singers of Balfes dramatic opera last night and showed keen appreciation of the rendering of its many well-known airs. The Bohemian Girl is full of matic possibilities and requires acting aa well as singing.

Some of the singers I were a bit repressed at first, but they overcame this the performance pro-l gressed and, especially in the closing acts, acted as well as sang their parts with fervor. Helena Morrill had the role of Arline and with her powerful voice was at her best in the more passionate scenes of I the closing act. Her sining of I I Dreamt That I Dwelt" evoked much applause, her higher and sweeter notes being especially pleasing. Elva Boydens singing of the Gypsy Queens role was one of the brightest spots of an enjoyable evening. She i sang with artistry and feelin and in the second act threw herself into the I part of the disappointed woman in a manner that swept the house by storm.

Norman, Arnold, as showed strength and sweetness of voice. His Youll Remember received a well-deserved encore, and he also appeared to advantage in Fair Land of Poland. Stanley Deacon sang Count Arnheim with fin.sh and keen appreciation. His acting was best in the closing scenes. His great song, The Heart Bowed Down, was full of pathetic sweetness, and he was compelled to repeat.

The role of Devilshoof was admirably cared for by Herbert Waterous. whose richness of voice and natural swing fits him for the part. He omitted some of the comedy usually associated with the scene in the Count's residence without doing any particular damage. William R. Northway also made the part of Florestiin less that of the buffoon than do some singers, and that was not unappreciated.

He sang well and made the most of a part not filVed with great -possibilities. Edw-ard Haslit was captain of the guard and Margaret Gilbert the nurse girl. The chorus was good at- all times ard the orchestra, with Frank Waller ct-uUuctine, added much to the enjoyment of the program. Tonight Robert Henry will sing as the Count. Edward Orchard as Devilshoof and Stella DeMette as the Gypsy Queen.

After her work in Reputation Miss Dean had a reputation of much merit to maintain and this she has done admirably as star in Conflict, under the direction of Stuart Paton.

She hates the place she is obliged to call home, until suddenly a beautiful new love comes into her life.

Herbert Rawlinson, in the chief supporting role; Martha Mattox and Edward Connelly handle tne Chief character parts with ability.

Rita Jolivet. the French actress who played the role of Theodora in the film by that nano last right at the Shubert Theatre, takes her place beside Poia Negri as one of the wonder women of the motion picture world. The film is an Italian one and was made by the Unione Cinematografica Italiana of Rome, Italy, and brought to tins country by the Goldwyn Pictures Corporation. Miss Jolivet is the only player who is not an Italian, but because she has worked with an Italian company she has been taken to the hearts of the loyal sons of Italy.

Therefore tie orchestra at the Shu-btrt Theatre last night appropriately played the Italian National hymn, while the many Italians present rose from their seats in appreciation of the courier-. The boxes at the theatre were decorated with American and Italian flags and there was a. sort of patriotic pride shining on every Italian-born face thht such a picture as Theodora should be the first Italian-made film to be brought to this country. It is a picture which will live as one of the great spectacles of motion picture art. Theie is a gorgeousness of pageantry which surpasses everything that has ever been shown, in this country.

at least. Spectacle succeeds spectacle, palace follows palace in bewildering succession untit the audience is transported from prosaic Boston back H'O years to the time when Byzantium was the most colorful, magnificent city all the Roman Empire. That the film has succeeded in portraying the vivid events of that day, as they have come down to us through Sardou's play in which Sarah Bernhardt took the part played in the film by Bita Johvet, is something which even the most lukewarm enthusiast could not deny. One forgets the piesent in watching the past unroll before the audience. Present day standards of morality fade from the mind of the auditor as he lives again in the reign of the Caesars.

And Rita Joliet, more than any other member of the splendid cast, is responsible for the illusion of "Theodora. One doesnt remember that, an actress is abij lortraying a thinks Only that Theodora in ail her beauty and wickedness is living again. The other actors have been selected wlth great care, however, and Ferrucio Biaxuini. who takes the role of Justinian, Emperor of the Roman Empire, is indeed a master actor. There are hundreds of scenes in the ihu which will live in the memories of the audiences.

The scene in the Hip-ptcrome when the lions are loosed on the people is the most spectacular event in the picture, but there are so many t.htr vienes which might well serve as the nmleus for a great example of Tl.i tf.graphic art that it would be use-h -e to enumerate them all. There aie battle scenes, scenes of lute-making. with marble palaces and the Bosphorous in the backgtund, g.eat court pageants. Count Ignazio Ihton di Reval, one of the. men who was responsible for the picture, prob-shly did not overestimate when he said tjmt the making of Theodora required -'w artisans working for eight months to do the building.

Nearly 20,000 actors were employed and the picture was not c'onplet for two years. The story deals with the love of the Empress Theodora for a Greek patrician, and her wild attempt to keep his treasonable activities from her husband, bhe fails the end, and the young Greek plotter dies, cursing the wicked, soule'-s Theodora, who longs to give up her throne to share his love. A reader gii-s a sketch of Theodora before the Inrn opns. Tiuring the film last night an unseen chorus sang appropriate choruses, in various parts of the picture. It was almost like a Greek tragedy in this revpect, and the music was selected with grat care and foresight.

In fact the whole musical score, which was arranged by Erno Rapee and William Axt under the supervision of S. L. Rothafel, added greatly to the power and effectiveness of the picture.
