Who must necessarily be cheered. "Hlst-who's there?" "Tis Rodolphel" "Hist if my foster-mother sleeps 1 shall meet you anon." Hiss Villain, Applaud Hero. It all sounded funny, Uproariously funny. The play Is a huge hodge-podge of big dramatic scenes with distinct echoes of Shakespeare and Wagner, with songs, dances and choruses thrown in. Rodolphe.

The count dispatches two peasant ruffians to get this artist-rival, and they wait for him behind a rock while he sings a sad, sad song about being all alone. Then they go for him. And the audience broke out last night with hilarious shouts of "Look out!" Rodolphe, however, failed to heed the warning and was carried off by the ruffians. Who were emphatically hissed.

There is Hertzog. the Black Crook, so named because he deals in black magic. There Is lightning and thunder. There are fairies and devils, and a fairy queen, and lots of dances and songs in costume. Through most of it the first-night audience cheered or laughed or hissed.

Show Could Stand Cutting. Mr. Morley, or somebody, will have to cut the production. The opening performance lasted until 1:30 a.m. today, and that's too long.

Possibly a good bit of the Becond act could go out without too much harm being done. But in any event, it seems clear to this correspondent that Hoboken now has two industries "After Dark" and "The Black Crook." became a major event in the current theatrical season. The first-nighters learned about their mistake and stole down to the old Rialto on the 30th night and the 40th and the 50th. When Morley went In for expansion, as other producers had dr before him, and took over the old Lyric, across the street, they decided they would not repeat theelr mistake. They were all there last night.

They saw not only "The Black Crook" but Hoboken. They came early and swarmed into the Hoboken Hofbrau and Continental Grill and the Meyer Hotei. They helped further establish Morley et al. as a big business in thij shabby town sprawling on the west shore of the Hudson. A town of laborers and beer saloons, which may know nothing about art, but it knows what lt likes.

It likes the theatrical art of the Morley company. Finally Gets Table Next to Piano. At 7 p.m. this flrst-nightlng correspondent descended into the depths of the Continental Grill and was politely informed that, alas! unless the gentleman had reservations in advance, it would be absolutely Impossible to obtain a table diama. A shocking thing it was in those days, with shameless hussies dancing in tights to the rowdy delight of elderly male Victorians.

Good women averted their faces when thsy passed a billboard aavertlslng "The Black Crook." Ministers preached with righteous indignation against "The Black Crook." It was a low form of entertainment, appealing to the lower kind of men, to their lower Instincts. Once again they revived "The Black Crook" last night, this time in Hoboken, under the auspices of that strangely successful group of adventurers known as the Hoboken Theatrical Company: And there were ermine coats In the audience, and evening gowns, and orchids. David Belasco sat In a front row, and Otto H. Kahn, banker and patron of the opera, stamped his expensive feet In burlesque applause. New York's society and New York's leaders of the art were there.

And nobody was shocked. Not "Shocker" Today. A distinguished audience It was, no doubt the most distinguished that had ever seen an opening in this country off Broadway. It came to laugh and lt laughed, whistled, TimeTesteb p9 COL. MCLEAN DIES OF AUTO INJURIES For Nearly A Century' tor two.

That Is the sort of pros An attack on the proposed "drag net" legislation of Police Commissioner Grover Whalen, and a plea for the better understanding of the criminal and the phenomenon called crime, were voiced yestrday by Charles Solomon, lawyer and former Assemblyman, before a meeting nf the Brooklyn Women's Constitutional Hoover Curtis Committee at the Hotel St. George. Speaking of Commissioner Wha-lens Intentions of proposing a law which will create a new class of offenders, answering to the loose and general characterization of "suspects" or "suspicious persons." Mr, Solomon said this possible legislation smacked of conditions that prevailed under the Old World autocracies, and In basic conflict with everything our Government country stand for. "Grandstand plays, with reckless disregard for social consequences, and inspired by political motives and ambitions, are most deplorable," he declared. Seen Victim of Circumstances.

But it was to the criminal that Mr. Solomon devoted the greater part of his attention the criminal who in the majority of circumstances is a victim of circumstances. "Crime Is a problem of youth," the speaker asserted fervently, "and to eliminate crime we must begin In the cradle. We must treat the criminal as we do the Insane personend prisons and establish hospitals and sanitariums, throw out jailers and bring In doctors, abolish turnkeys and install psychiatrists. In order to study the criminal, begin with the cause of crime.

I don't advocate opening up prison doors and putting medals on the offenders; but I do advocate understanding and conformity with unaer-ing." Mr. Solomon ascribed crime, or anti-social conduct, to several causes. The first element was neglect or improper training at home, a condition which he declared cannot be reached by repressive legislation. "We must train our younj women and men for parenthood, a situation for which they are often hopelessly unfit. There is no more srious responsibility than motherhood, nothing that has more profound social Implications.

We must have the right kind of homes for our children, and if we can't achieve it through private effort public effort will 'have to be employed, in spite of its radical Implications." Maladjustment at school was another factor in the development rt criminal tendencies children who are not understood by their teachers, and children who present special problems which one teacher with a class of 40 cannot handle. Mr. Solomon made pla here for more schools, better schools, more teachers and better trained teachers. Th fact that boys are unskilled vocationally and without a knowledge of industrial conditions a lack of spiritual training the ideal of material success that is always placed bfor them all these were causes of anti-social conduct, he said. "We must stop being hysterical about the problem," Mr.

Solomon went on, "and recognize how deep and comprehensive it is. The criminal is a maladjusted individual, and we must ascertain the subjective and objective factors responsible for his anti-social conduct. The solution is not for courts or lawyers but for sociologists, doctors and the home. cheered, stamped and hissed. Chiefly it laughed at its ancestors who had found "The Black Crook." a shocker.

Much shrewd persuasion finally produced a table next to the upright piano. That much concession the Continental was willing to make to a newspaperman, for Hoboken has learned that there is some sort ol magic in newspapermen that Morley believes in. And if ne does, that enough. They say tnat Hoboken's officials have come to these new theatrical aristocrats in their midst, pleaded with them to violate some regulation, commit some crime any crime short of murder.

Then they would see how fast Hoboken would, in gratjtude, let them free. Ding-dong-ding, ding-dong-ding! the piano rattled, and smart folks in tuxedos and evening gowns danced on the stone floor and had a gay time. Large S. R. O.

"After Dark" is still running, in Its 14th consecutive week, with every prospect of many more weeks to come. Look up your records and you will find that few famous critics watched that opening. The Be.ascos and the Kahns weren't there. The first-nighters were seeing something far more Important on Broadway-something that has since lapsed into merciful oblivion. They had no time to spare for a stock company production in oh, yes, Hoboken.
