Ring Lardncr's fun is never fast, always bends awajr from the usual, is kindly while penetrating. This is the most agreeable comedy of the year. In his leisurely way, Mr. Lardner pictures a boob ball player, who, though his liveliest interests are in food and sleep and doing practically nothing, manages to get the best of life.

Here, if you like, is Mr. Tully's somewhat vehement denunciation of all those heretofore unmentionable- sins of California's greater enterprise. Its vehemence is not to be denied. Nevertheless, it falls a bit short of being convincing.

One somehow cannot believe that this Jarnegan was, after all, such a hell of a fellow. Again, as when it was performed in Brooklyn, the play does manage to be something of a personal triumph for Richard Bennett, who portrays the title role. Again, at the Long-acre, "Jarnegan" turns out to be somewhat better acted than the play deserves. This will probably help out.

The story told by "Porgy" is simple, but entwining it is a complete cross section of the teeming life of Catfish Row.

He flees to the swamps and his Bess Evelyn Ellis) takes up with Porgy (Frank Wilson), a crippled beggar. Bess, a "she-devil" to all Catfish Row, softens in association with Porgy. She eschews drink and cocaine. But Crown returns for her and Porgv strangles him to death. In the end Sporting Life (Percy Verwayne), bootlegger and dope vender, prevails upon her again to partake of cocaine and lures her off to New York.

The play ends with Porgy starting out after her in hit-goat cart, a long, heart-breaking journey. These players in the major roles are excellent, as is Serena (Rose MacClendon), widow of Crown's victim and self-appointed high priest-pss to the lord, who as readily swears falsely in his name when the toils of the law threaten to entangle her in the investigation of Crown's murder as she invokes his aid for all tribulations of her associates.

Roughly, the play deals with a song plugger in a New York publishing firm, who practically supports his mother and sister, the father having died in the Spanish-American War. The World War comes along and Eddie Rosen (George Jessel) is drafted.

The mother, desperate to have her son remain at home, tries to have the family doctor, who has some connection with the draft board, veto her son on the physical examination, but plans fail and Eddie finds himself Camp Upton in the second act. His mother meanwhile has been taken ill and his sister has had an affair with en army lieutenant. Eddie learns that he is going to France, and a visit to his sick mother is frustrated at camp. The thirt act boasts of three scenes, three vivid, highly dramatic episodes, one in an entertainment hut somewhere in France sue months later; second, a shell hole, and the last scene the officers' quarters inside the German line. Interwoven around Eddie Rosen is a story at all times gripping.

War scenes, which ordinarily would have paled on audiences sick and tired of World War drama, be-me significant and enjoyable in The War Song." ccsel is aided in this play admirably by Cara Langsner, who plays the jart of Mrs. Rosen.
