Jack Buchanan is in this English entertainment that came to the Selwyn Theater last night at $-2 an orchestra seat, but Mr. Buchanan has been funnier. Jessie Matthews is in it, but that cannot make it extraordinary. Tilly Losch is in it, however, and that makes all the difference in the world or almost.

And Tina Mcller, who is blood relation to Raquel, is also along, which adds to the differences. By virtue chiefly of the presence of Fraulein Loseh, Wake Up and Dream" becomes something better than a very pleasant example of the art of entertainment. It very nearly becomes art.

The conventional musical comedy wooing of the comely hero and heroine, Arthur Campbell and Beth Meakins, was also well received. The tunes, most of them now quite familiar, are catchy and the dancing is good. The ensemble is shapely, well drilled and, perhaps.

Just a bit above the average of such aggregations as to good looks. The piece also offers an extremely comely villainess in the person of Evelyn KindJer. A villain has been dispensed with. Golf clubs and togs are much in evidence, most of the golf playing, however, being of necessity suggested. The authors of "Follow Thru" arc Laurence Schwab and B.

Mr. Zicgfeld can stage revues intriguing and silken and highly polished, but his taste seldom leads him to put into them such first-rate material from finer fields as are to be found at the Selwyn. Certainly this revue Charles B. Cochran devised for London and Arch Selwyn Imported has greater refinement of taste than any that have yet come from England. Some of it, settings, costumes and players, is enchanting.

The attempt fell rather flat, so flat that at times there was doubt as to whether the play was a romantic drama or a burlesque of one.

Miss Mat-tnews sings many songs sweetly, dancing sweetly, too, and the songs and lyrics are clever ones by Cole Porter. Last night the funniest ot the comicalities turned out to be Miss Lotie and her performing horse, Pogo. Popo is one ot the familiar horses comprised of two men, one as hind legs, the other as front and head. That has been dne for decades, but possibly never more amusingly than it was last night by the Griffith brothers. New lenr'a Kvfl 'i Hhutts at anil II Myron C.

If I had your ability, I'd write my verse And to some classy dame, you bet, indite my verse; Now, more than that, why should I ever ask it? But when I finally complete a threnody I take one hasty look and mutter, "Len, oh This stuff is fit for nothing but the basket." Whence come your tricky rhymes, oh, tell me please? I shouldn't beg, but envy's pangs compel me pleas Like this, you know, don't benefit the ego. Perhaps in time, afflicted with rheumatics, I Shall also eke out verse and in some attic sigh: "At last like Ben's eh, ml amiso?"

Clever lass, she constantly amazes, For she is (you can't deny it) erudite. When I read her poems, "I dare you write Stuff like that." I challenge; "po it presto!" Trochee, spondee, anapest oh.

TO JOE BONNIE But all this cleverness and polish I would trade For Bonnie's lyrio gift with just a touch I'd be Quite satisfied. I'd strum my lyre In minor key About the shadows stalking me at dusk, afraid, While 'round my brain went melancholy thoughts that played Like orphan children, skipping, yet how mirthlessly.

With futile pen in hand, I'd ponder destiny, And how against each one the fates have been arrayed. And thus I'd take my ease along the bank of life So like a mountain torrent roaring down, And never dare to pitch myself amidst that strife Of waters turbulent, in mortal fear I'd drown.

The policy adopted by Nancy is that it takes a thief to catch a thief. She therefore lays a very neat little plot which sweeps her rival completely out of the picture.

The rival is a petulant little person, Peggy Preston, whose reactions are exactly as desired by the principal character. The part of Peggy is played by Marian Grant. When Peggy meets the supposed "diamond king," Sir Guy Harrington, she is quite ready and willing to sidetrack Nancy's divorced husband. But Nancy has different ideas, and keeps Sir Guy and Pqggy apart until the pyschological moment, when she practically makes it possible for them to elope. Of course, the inevitable happens, and the wandering husband is made almost to fight to return to his former wife.

The defense attorney arose.

Burke, played by Henry B. Walthall, and in a fine old stage lawyer's manner played on theory's sympathies with the amazing story of coincidences which made up Eddie Dowling's life, interlarded with plenty of flashbacks. With a last final appeal, and with what seemed to us rather unconventional legal procedure, the lawyer gave the case over to the state. The district attorney, changed his charge and recommended acquittal, which resulted. But the shock Is too prept for Williams, who died in his wire's arms in an ante room.

At a brief halt the doughboy, known in the picture as Eddie Williams, broke out into a racking cough. The scene shifted suddenly to a courtroom, a really effective change, where Williams was on trial for the murder of one Hummell. A district attorney, heavy owled as goad district, attorneys should be, William Davidson, harassed Williams' little adopted boy, Jean, on the witness stand, trying to get him to say that his father was a murderer. With a fine bit of acting, the V.ltte boy, Jean, held out until his protector.

Williams, confessed the murder to ave the child from further mental torture. B'way 47th St. CAM- AVON Th'-W. 45St. Dir.
