Dale Finds Old-FashionedSex Play Not So Bad WhenGood Actors Interpret It

v By ALAN DALE.NEW YORK, Auk. 24.

AFTER^all, a good old red-blooded sex play will not go amissin a new season that is devoting itself principally to so-

called mysteries and crooks. The engaging mixups that menand women delight to call love Is dealt with this week at MaxineElliott's theater in a play entitled "Fools Errant," by Samuel Shipman.or is it Louis Evan Shipman?.and I can't be sure, as I'vemislaid my program. Anyhow, whether Samuel or Louis, "Mr."will be enough. Mr. Shipman has taken the subject matter of"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray".and other sex plays.and has ar¬

ranged an entertaining set of characters, and a motive.none tooplausible, but a motive.

Doughty socialistic man lovea. orhas loved, his friend's wife. Whenthat friend goes astray, as they callit, and Is lost in the tolls of a

Tanquerayish dame, the doughty,socialistic man, in order to save

the woinar) of his heart, marriesthe peccant one. Perhaps this pec¬cant one was not an exact replicaof Mrs. Tanqueray. but at any rateshe was not the sort that bravegents marry Just for the fun ofRetting married.So there's the situation. Later

on the doughty socialistic one hearsthat his friend is dead. Therefore,the wife is free, and tbe newlywedded wife, who now loves herh6sband, Is, of course, led to be¬lieve her fate is sealed. The situa¬tions are obvious but interesting.SamUel Shipman.I mean Louis

.has somewhat befuddled his char¬acters by his socialistic talk, butwhen they get down to the sex

matter in hand one feels the acutethrill that situations between Himand Her and Aqpther invariablyinduce when they are well done.However, Samuel Shipman.that

is to say, Louis.was lucky in hisselection of Alexandria Carlisle as

his heroine. Miss Carlisle was a

delight all the way through theplay. Sho was simple, natural,emotional and charming. Sheneither over-acted nor over¬

dressed. Miss Carlisle has never

done anything better. Her dictionand her English were both Irre¬proachable.Lucille Watson .with gutta percha

notes in her voice that seemed tobe unduly emphasized, was not

particularly happy In her role ofthe disillusioned wife. CyrilKeightley gave a fine performance.It was good to find Fritz Williams,again with us for It Is interestingin these days to listen to an actorwho kno\rs his business from A toZ. and from whom one could ex¬

pect an excellent performance Inany role. That's what acting usedto be. Actors could play any role,whether they looked It or not andFritz Williams is one of 'em.
