MARIE TEMPEST.
ANOTHER SUCCESS LAST
NIGHT.
Considering the fact that one of Marie Tempest's fargurite impersonations is the priceipal character in The Marriage of "Kitty," it was a disappointingly
small audience which gathered! at the Theatre Royal las: night, when this bright and sparkling little comedy was presented. However, those who attended had a thoroughly en- joyable time and were highly de- lighted with Miss Tempest's clever acting and all-round artistry. She scored a great triumph and at the close of the performance was rewarded with
marked demonstration of popular approval.
course
The comedy, which is from thei French, has to do with the matri-į. monial aspirations of one Sir Reginald Belsize, who is ex- tremely suspectible to feminine charme-he has "1 roomy heart." to use a phrase which fell from Miss Tempest during the
of the play. His fiancee is a Peruvian! widow, of the extremely jealous and scheming type, but Sir! Reginald is prevented from marry- ing her, owing to a condition in his uncle's will laying it down that he will forfeit his legacy if he contracts the marriage within certain period. There is, however, a possibility of ovET- coming this obstacle by a tem- porary marriage-to. some other! person. Kitty Silverton is the
2
other person" chosen, but, being a clever, accomplished and under- standing woman. she ontwils the Peruvian widow in the end by disappearing with her temporary husband and making the marriage a very real one. It will be seen that the comedy gives much scope to the three principals con- cerned, and last night they all rose well to the opportuni-¦ ties presented.
It is a versi
light and entertaining play, fall! of fun and pleasantry, with aj sufficient touch of the farcical about it to appeal to one's sense of humour. At the same time. there is a streak of sheer come! monsense running through the main theme of the piece.
Miss Tempest had a part afterį her own heart-one that' waits! her temperament to a nicety. She gave a very elevor study of the character of Kitty, It is in the finer points of acting that shej shows up best, and last night theį many deft touche- which shi gave to the interpretation of Kitty's mads showed that shej has lost none of her old charm." Scarcely les accomplished was! Mr. Grahan Browne Sir! Reginald. He gave a very finished performance of the man torn between two loves the
um-elfj expressed it had promised bi- wedded wife to "give up". his! fiancee and who had sworn to the! latter to divorce his wife! ! Dorothy Hamilton
the Peruvian widow, and she handled a most difficult part with wonder-i ful power. The other parts were minor, save that of the fawyer Travis, which was taken by Mr. Ashton Jarry with much under- standing of the role.
