Edward Sheldon '08, already well known for his "Salvation Nell," "The Nigger," and "The Boss," was last night called upon to bow his thanks at the Plymouth for the hearty reception given his latest play "The Princess Zim-Zim." Although the program labels this piece very simply as "a new play" it might well be called a semi-tragic comedy of realism: a first act of pure and unusually delightful comedy, a second and third of good melo-drama, and finally an epilogue that makes appeals by way of its persistence in sticking to facts, as ordinarily experienced. All in all, one might have wished for more like the beginning; yet the play holds throughout, and as acted by Miss Dorothy Donnelly, Mr. John Barrymore and an even company, it is such a treat as seldom comes the way of theatre-goers. Mr. Barrymore in particular by his impersonation of the discarded well-to-do New Yorker added no little to his reputation as an actor. No better production has been given a play in Boston this season; and with the possible exception of the Irish Players we have had no better acting.
