AMI'SEMrVTS BROOKLYV. 'The Gaucho" Music of jl EDWARD the Day CUSH1NG The Theaters mm zBy ARTHUR POLLOCKz Mr. Clifton Once More Presents His Pupils Beethoven Association Performs Shaw's "The Doctor's Dilemma" Is Beautifully Done by the Theater Guild at the Guild Theater LAST night th Theater Guild revived once more a play by George Bernard Shaw at the Guild Theater. The Theater Guild is Shaw's sanctuary in this country. The latest of its admiring revivals is "The Doctor's Dilemma." perhaps the happiest of its Shavian ventures.

The Guild's acting company plays it beautifully, better than any of this ue Irishman's comedies have been played by Guild players before; better, piobably, than Shaw has been played before in America. The drama itself, so fine does it seem as wisdom and entertainment, is a little easier to call Shaw's best play than any of his others. In fact, it appears almost old-fashioned for Shaw which is a virtue. The talk with which his plays are brilliantly adroned is here no less brilliant than elsewhere. The thread of action is so well and artfully defined that.

mm compared with "Heartbreak House, "Back to Methuselah" and "oan of I Arc," his more recent dramas, it gives him the air of being actually a story teller. You might even describe "The Doctor's Dilemma." if you weren't too eager to be accurate, as the story of a doctor who lost his heart to a pretty woman and killed her husband in order that he might marry her. The play moves with the smoothest of rhythms, while here and there in its ileep-delving dialogue a word Is cropped, a simple little word, or two perhaps, that gives it genuine dramatic kick. It is even emotional on occasion. You will remember, perhaps, that in It Shaw looks at doctors from many angles, exposing their vanities, their bipotry.

their numbskullery, their egotistic carelessness, along with their virtues and good sense. Among the physicians that people his play all kinds are represented. They talk a great deal, effectively and with varying degrees of sense, about science and their relation to it. but when they find themselves facing a situation caused by the love of a fine woman for a man who to her Is as fine as she but to the world of pigeon-holes and tradition and prejudice a scoundrel, their science is seen to have none too much sense in it. To Sir Colenso Ridgeon, who has just been knighted because of his discovery of a cure for tuberculosis the knighthood resulting, through no lault of his, from the bungling misuse of his discovery by an ass among his physician friends to Sir Colenso comes a pathetic wife eager to have him save her dying husband.

He is ico busy at the moment saving all the tuberculosis patients he can manage at one time and refuses until, showing bits of her husband's work, she convinces him that the dying man is an artist of Importance and hence worth saving. Ridgeon and his professional friends have no sooner decided that this young painter. Louis Dubedat, Is worth the life Ridgeon can give him, than they learn that he Is a conscienceless borrower of money, something of a blackmailer, a bigamist, a deceiver of the wife who loves him, and all the other things they hold contemptible. And they are not long In possession of that knowledge before they learn Wo. -t'e.

Allel II The Haw, Uouciae Fa.ibanke "Douglas Fairbanks as The Gaucho is Its correct and official title, not-withstanding tlie probability that Doug's new picture, which arrived at the Liberty Theater last night, will be known to filmgoers hereafter simply as Tlie Gaucho. Tne gaucho. let It be known, is a rover of the Argentine pampas, who corresponds most lear-ly to the American cowboy. A brilliant and expectant v.as prevnt al tlie Fairbanks premiere. What they saw wss a motion picture strangely reminiscent of all the Fairbanks pictures which have gone before picture which combined the esprit of "Robin Hood" with the lightning speed of "Don the whimsical romance of "The Thief of Bagdad" with the amazing agility of "The Black Pirate." What one has learned to expect from Douglas Fairbanks, one finds In this latest of ma w'tiures In uoertv.

Ihe story? It Is lanielv ucli a iinn as only Doug Fairbanks could brini- mj i ne nvreen. causing it to be remarkably enjoyable where another and less engaging rjerformer mn have turned It into a thlnn of utter idiocy. You have. In short, the story of an Argentine swashbuckler, a Robin Hood of the pampas, who is at once a benefactor of the poor and aowntrooaen ana tne eternal terror of the forces of the mlshtv. It Is th-Gaucho.

then, who leaos his mer. against the hated Usurper, who lorces ruthless and cunning victories wheresoever he goes -and who. finally, admits the fear of God into his own scoffing heart when a miracle is performed at a holy shrine. It is not. therefore, a story of Ingenious originality for Douglas Fairbanks.

It is mainly, as you may suspect, a vehicle for the whimsical bouncings and the crazy acrobatics of a fellow who can bounce with amazing dexterity in spite of his two score and four years. And in "The Gaucho" Fairbanks bounces! Than that the film at the Liberty is deftly performed by a large and competent cast which includes Lup Velez and Eve Southern, two uncommonly beautiful young women who the screen has not seen before, more need not be said at this time. "Douglas Fairbanks as The Gaucho" ir. as perhaps you have already decided, worth your seeing. It Is not.

tn be sure, as if it were Mr. Fairbanks' bast picture. It is simply Doug Fairbanks returned to Broadway alter neerly two years' absence. What else is there to say? At the Roxy. lillXV TIIEATKH "Hood Time a Wiin.cr Hrothra pioducl ion ilireetM by I'urllz from tlie atory by Durr! rruncia Zanm-k.

I'aul II, Ml rh Major Al Fremont Br be Daniel, aided In a fashion by Oeorge Marion's subtitles and frag as moth-eaten as a miners hide, msv be seen this week at the Paramount In "She's a Sheik." From its tille vou can catch the droll sltustlon which Paramount officials have evolved for their customers. You see. Instead of a male shrlk. Miss Daniels plays the role and kidnaps a handsome young omrcr of the French Foreign legion. The probable intention ol tlie picture as to burlesque the original sheik nory, but the result is as sorrv as ihe ham melodrama which was played funny on advice from tlie mansger.

George Marlon's subtitles sre rarely romlral and mostly pain-fill. Miss Daniels gsmbols about Irom sand dune to sand dune and back again, with an occasional Iape on a chandelier. Her farcing is shelted bv Ihe comic villslnle ol William Powell as a desert villain, whrwe big moment come when he Is hurled bodily, nightshirt and all, into a fountain. You get the Ides: "She's a Pheik" Is a fsrre of such broad proportions a to threaten engulfing the storv. cast and all The diaphragm of this no-aerver rippled roughly about twice during the picture, although a number nf the Psrsmoiint audience found everything, even the subtitle cause for hilarity.

It may be sour old or a generally dvpeptlc dlpo. lion but "She a flhuk" was Jut desert sand thrown Into theae eves. As Isr his part permitted. Willlsm Powell wss the beat of a prem bsd lot nf sctor Miss Ihtntel did her nnblt. evidently, looking handsome and coquettish by turns in the Thi "Spring 3100," at Jamaica Cort, Hat a New Name for Ten-Twenl-Thirt Stuff.

but a piani-st ho appeared here during recent seasors. Combining technical assurance witn excellent interpretative gifts, he in- tplres his audiences to a considerable enthusiasm. The operas of the evening were "Violanta" and "Hansel und Gretel." Both were given with the familiar casts: Mme. Jeritza, Mr. Kirchoff and Mr.

The artists of the evening were Rudolph Gans, i pianist, and Albert Spalding, violinist, and the Persinger String Quartet.

Schubert's melodious quartet in minor began the concert. The Persinger Quartet Is a capable group of musicians possessing sound instinc" and abilities: the four men play with commendable co-ordination and balance of tone. Schubert in their hands received an interpretation of tasteful A Beethoftn Sonata in ma jor for plino and violin followed. To say that it was performed with a hlh degree ol artistry by Messrs. Genz and Spalding is inadequate praise.

Mr. Spalding's luscious warmth of tone, coupled with the masterly playing ot Mr. Ganz, produced an ensemble that was satisfying beyond words. The final program number was the mystic Caesar Franck's Quintet in minor played by the Persingers and Mr. Ganz.

It was this season's first appearance ol the American Orchestral Society, that rdmirable training school for young instrumentalists. Mr. Chalmers Clifton conducted, and Bernard Ocko, violinist, was the assisting artist.

The program ranged from the Fifth Symphony of Tschaikowsky to the overture to "Le Rol dTs." and took In ita stride the Chausson Poem. Quite a good-sized audience was repaid for attending by excellent performances. We do not wonder that graduates of Mr. Clifton's classes have little trouble finding desks for themselves in cur major symphonic organizations. This training orchestra is a remarkable ensemble quite as expert as certain bands that play lor us annually under professional colors.

Its only lacks are those of complete precision in execution and of delicate balance among tlie various choirs. As Ttir Mr. Chiton, he surprised us yesterfiay with the most perspicacious reading of the Tschaikowsky symphony that we have heard in some time. The salient feature of this interpretation was the swiftness of its tempi; breathlessness taved it from sentimentality. Ths rush of the first allegro was magnificent; for once the Andante was not metamorphosed into an adagio.

Was it master or student who nlaved the horn solo In this movement? Student, we Judged from a slip here and there In the intonation yet with what a round and pointed tone the passage wss accompilsned: Mr. Ocko nub iished tlie Chausson Poem feelingly snd with skill. The accompaniment, under Mr. Clifton, left nothin; to be uesireci. Tito Schlpa's audience overflowed the auditorium of Carnegie Hall last evening and spread Itself over the rbout the singer.

It then burst Into rap'urous applause mid-wev through Schubert's "Du bist die Ruh" to illustrate the truth that the fol lowers of Latin tenors are truly mtiricai. Mr. srmpa gave his heder group in Oerman. and his diction in the northern tongue was first-ra'e. As a matter of fact, Mr.

Schipa Schumann's "Mondnacht" and the Schubert number far from badly. We should rather enjoy hearing him do Pep at Majestic "Harry Dtlmar'i Revels," New Revue, I Good Vaudeville. IIAHItT IIKI.IIAR'H HKVKI.fc." i.roeentr.i et II rueni. by Sanni-! and Hairy leliMar. Hkewhr.

But the vaudeville artist ha to live And so some form a company, throw in a dancing chorus, whip together some sort of story, and move into the legitimate theater under the name of a revue or some similar title At the Majitic Theater last nlghl former vaudeville performers made no attempt disguise exactly what Ihey are. It as the nrst appearance Greater New York of "Bioadway's newest and most spectacular revue." Or at least so read the program.

Be that as it may, "Harry Delmar's Revels," for to the entertainment Jo called. Is nothing more or less than glorified vaudeville. There is no attempt to teil aiiy kinu of story Ons scene follows another true vaudeville style. There is a song number, a dancing turn, a little sketch, tra red animal numtKr aiW ro on through the usual vaudeville lil. with only the strong man missing.

Then for good measuie there 1 thrown in a laige female chonr iiiat wanders on and off the stage Ii. ihe attractive state of undress thai one usually finds l.i tne moacin revue.

Assuming that his wife does net know how great a rascal he is, they are too decent to tell her.

But Ridgeon is in love with that wife and, circumstances indicating to him that such a course is right, he decides to let the husband die. Or rather, he decides to kill him by turning him over to the silly Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington, who can be counted upon to kill instead of curing by his blunders. The young artist dies. Whereafter Ridgeon learns that the wife knew her husband better than he or his friends who Judged him by their own standards, that she loved him for what he was and not for what men of conventional minds thought he ought to be. Ballol Holloway.

Dougla Fairbanks in hit nu dim at thm Liberty Thcatmr it The Barker Succeful Play of Tent-Show Life Come to Werba't. Kenyon Nicholson's convincing play of the griefs and Joys and the drama of the lives of the dwellers under circus tents, "The Barker," starring Walter Huston, opened last night at Werba's Brooklyn Theater after a successful run of a year across the river. It unfolds the tale of a ballahoo man who was the sinew and the brain behind a fourth rate circus that toured the Middle West, a circus owned by a picturesque medicine show type of Southern Colonel, amusingly portrayed by Oeorge W.

Bar-bier. The barker had a son, a youth of 19, in whose blood he feared was too much of his own rollicking spirit His chief desire of life at the time the curtain rises is to educate the lad and make of him a lawyer, with the permanence of position which that profession symbolized in the circus man's mind. The son, during summer vacation, arrives at the circus via a box car pullman and the complications follow. Owen Davis son of the wholesale play manufacturer, is here the son of the barker, engaging and convincing throughout most of the rich juvenile role. The barker has for several seasons lived In free love with one of the women performers, explaining that his son must be educated and established before he can marry her.

To Injure the barker she gets the snake charmer, a flapper of slightly harsher language than is favored by the collegians, to vamp the lad. Gertrude Waxel, constructed along lines to charm more than snakes, vamps the lad without effort, but falls hard for him in turn. Though she has previously been the mistress of the Colonel, among others, she marries the boy. The play works to a satisfactorv conclusion with much good acting bs Elinor Winslow Williams as the barker's flame, and Al Roberts. Frank Clarke and William Ellis in less serious roles.

But see this production ot Charles L. Wagner and Edgar Sflwyn for yourself it is well worth while. "Peggy Ann Here Mutical Comedy With Helen Ford Come to Teller' Shubert. For the benefit of those on this side of the East River bridges who like their choruses young, sweet and sprightly and who like Helen Ford and such uproarious antics as Lulu McConnell performs continuously. "Peggy Ann" came to Brooklyn last night after a long and successful run on Broadway to play the week in Teller's Shubert Theater.

One thing that certainly appeals about this musical comedy, something of a sophisticated and confined Alice In Wonderland put to music, is the absolute Joy and abandonment Its chorus takes in the whole thing. "Peggy Ann's" chorus, Incidentally, Is the one this connoisseur has seen that passes the front, or bald-headed If you are so disposed, rows cum laude. In fact. "Peggy Ann" Is a revelation of what a well pelleted chorus tnai ran dance, sing and everythlni can do for a mur.i -al comedy has done no little for "Pegrry Ann." So, of course, have Helen Ford and Miss McConnell, the former, as every Broadwaylte knows, being a very gratifying and personable young woman with all the talents of a musical-comedy leading lady, and Miss McConnell possessuig a distinct and distinctive Hair for the broader sort ol Incidents that provoke rounds of laurrhter that may be boisterous. Lew Fields and Lyie D.

Andrews, named as the producers, strike three good bets rUiht off the reel The supporting cast. Including Lester Cole, Betly Siarbuck. Fuller Mel-llsh Jr. and Murray Jay Queen, aid bv skipping adequately through the flimsy thread of Peggy Anns dreams and Peggy, of course.
