Mr. Jack Marvin Moonyeen Clare Miss Margery Williams By HUB What a beautiful, delicate piece of artistry--"Smilin' Through." The kind of a play that's most effective on the screen--yet encounters danger in every line on the stage. As the curtain went up and I was looking over the pro- gram, Hamlet's instructions to the players in Bill Shakespeare's renowned ancient century masterpiece, slid un- heralded into my mind. You know the one--"Speak the words, I pray thee, as I pronounce them to you, trippingly on the tongue. And if you mouthe them, as so many of our play- ers do, I would as lief the town-cryer spake my lines." From then on I sat petrified--and I stayed that way until the middle of the second act. I was so afraid that play was going to be a huge comedy that I almost forgot to wake up when I discovered that it was being well handled. "Smilin' Through" did go across and it was so filled with sweet, poignant bits of humaness that it will linger with the audience for days to come. To start with it was Irish and I haven't been Irish all my life without finding something sentimental about anything else that's Irish. Margery Williams played two parts--difficult, delicate parts--easily overdone and just as easily slighted. Her handling of them was brilliant--and that's no Irish blarney. While I'm about it, IT want to go on record as an advocate of more and better old-man parts for Harry Minturn. He played the part of John Carteret and a more stubborn or conceited old cuss never graced an Irish garden. His part was excellent- ly written and played. Willis Hall took the part of Dr. Owen Harding, anotheg old gentleman, I don't need to add anything to what I've said before about him. As the French say, "That goes without saying." The most of you are familiar with the play. It was considered one of the highlights of the stage a few years ago and Jane Cowl, playing the lead, made for herself a name that will not soon be forgotten. Then Norma Talmadge brought it to the screen where it also achieved phenominal popularity. As I said, if encounters danger in every line. There were parts in the Minturn production that were overdone but taken as a whole and even bit by bit, it was in most cases excellently handled, and it was beauti- fully staged; the set being well built and "effectively proportioned. I was well pleased with "Smiling Through." Frank Stover, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank F. Stover of 1183 Tower road, returns April 15, from Princeton uni- versity, . to spend a week with his parents.
