THEATRICAL TASTE

DETERIORATING IN NEW YORK. “I am afraid that, the taste in theatrical entertainment in New York has deteriorated sadly,” said Mr. A. Davis, of Wellington, , who Ims just returned from the United States. “I saw at least half-a-dozen shoxs that would never for a moment be tolerated in this country in the guise I saw them in.. For instance, in ‘The Great Temptation.’ some of the women poseurs appear in ‘the altogether.’ and under the cloak of are the nude is emphasised in Earl Carrol’s revue ‘Vanities. Both (he public and the authorities stand for it. One very fine drama of the brutallv realistic order is entitled 'Lulu Belle, a Belnsco production starring Miss Lenore ITlrie, but I am afraid the theme and action arc too frank to please our more taste in New Zealand. The Cradle Suatchers’ is another case cf a man hawking a plav round for two vears and for it to turn out a huge success; but here again the.theme is nanseafinfp to the sensitive. There were, however, 'Tolanthe’ an<] ‘What Every Woman Knows’ for the more refined, and ‘Abie’s Irish Rose’ seems as though it would go on for ever.”
