In “At the White House.” On at 2:19, 34 min. full stage. This act is not in anything like the shape it was in when it played Boston two seasons’ ago. The supporting company is not nearly so strong and Mr Chapin’s work seemed to lack the earnestness and forcefulness of that time. His explanation is that he has not been working for several weeks but whatever the reason it failed to arouse great interest and all the curtains on the tableaux were forced. This, with the preceding act, sort of put a crimp in the show at the start.
