It comes to Chicago direct from its last season's run at the Royale Theater, New York, where it was an outstanding hit. Preliminary to the New York engagement the comedy played for two weeks in Philadelphia, where it was equally successful. A kibitzer, in the sense of the generally used, is the "buttinsky" in a card game; the man who watches the game and either offers advice or finds fault. The authors of the play, Jo Swerling, a former Chicago newspaper man, and E. G. Robinson, however have used the word in a broader sense, a person who specializes in criticism and advice but who is wary of participation in any activity, be it pinochle, prize-fighting, politics, the stock market, or anything else. The central character ii^ the play is, of course, a kibitzer in the person of I. Lazarus, the impecunious proprietor of a small cigar store, a role admirably suited to Mr. Sidney. Laz arus knows* all about stocks and horses, as well as cards, but liis convictions are not backed up by money. His opportunity for riches comes when he is declared in a stock market speculation by a wealthy man whose life the kibitzer saves by quick action in an emergency. Given financial backing and complete charge of the dealj Lasarus js a super-kibitzer, involving his friends and customers in speculation only to see the crash ay* erted by a meek old gentleman who never kibitzes And, "Who speaks only three worfo. Geg.fgg Sidney, who stars in the jiay, will be particularly remembered in Chicago for his splsefldid "wor)c in "Welcome Straw^er", whioh tan ®there far a'ft entire fceason, and for his screen appearances in tjjie "Potash and Perlmuttef" and "The Cohens aiid the Ketleys" series. This will be his first stage apjjfearance in four years, having left the screen for a year or two because of the unrest in moving picture cpircles due to the ac tivities of the Actors' Equity.
