At this juncture _Mr. Pim_ drifts in again to correct an error of memory. The name of the gentleman who succumbed to the herring-bone was not Tellworthy (he must have got that name into his head through hearing it mentioned as that of _Mrs. Marden's_ first husband). It was really Polwhistle--either Henry or Ernest Polwhistle; he was not quite sure which. Everything is thus restored to the _status quo ante_, except that _Marden_, in a spasm of generous reaction, feels himself morally bound to abide by the new conditions that his wife had laid down. _Mr. Pim_ only passes by once more to announce his settled conviction that _Polwhistle's_ Christian name was Ernest and not Henry. It will be seen that the play is original in design; but it is also a true play of character revealed by circumstance. Further--and this is very rare--it owes nothing to the adventitious aid of the costumier. For the author's observation of the unities is extended to include the matter of dress; he allows his people one costume each and no more. Miss IRENE VANBRUGH played as if every one of her words had been made expressly for her, as, no doubt, they were. I have never seen her so perfect in detail, in the poise of her head, in her least gesture and intonation, in her swift changes of mood; never so quietly mistress of the _finesse_ of her art. As _Marden_, Mr. BEN WEBSTER was a little restless in a part for which he was not constitutionally suited, but played with the greatest courage and sincerity. Mr. DION BOUCICAULT'S study of _Mr. Pim_ was extraordinarily effective; and the way in which he made the attenuated pipings of this futile old gentleman carry like the notes of a bell was in itself a remarkable feat. These three were given great chances, full of colour. But in the part of _Brian Strange_, the boy-lover, by its nature relatively colourless, Mr. LESLIE HOWARD was hardly less good. He never made anything like a mistake of manner. I wish I could say the same of his flapper. But Miss COHAN asserted her good spirits a little too boisterously for the picture.
