Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 23, 1940, Winnipeg, Manitoba Page four Winnipeg free press tuesday january 23. 1940 cores re Winnipeg was prepared for a great artist at the Walker theatre. Monday night but most of the capacity audience surely could not have dreamt that Ruth Draper could have brought them such riches of characterization. Genius is a word that should not be applied lightly but miss Draper showed that rarest of qualities in everything she touched. She received an ovation Seldom accorded a theatrical performer by a Winnipeg Jedi Enre. Such a worn Fin As miss the Young italian girl the guide Book Type of american tourist the German woman with her lunch the beggar and the peasant combined to catch to an uncanny degree the with such a worn an As miss Draper i character sketch is no surface reflection of life no Mere has or tricks. She goes deep into the lir arts of the people she is impersonating striking a poignant chord or giving a sudden glimpse atmosphere of the place. She can at some unspoken tragedy. Prattle in her Flat mid Western first of All. There was that Amaz voice can that american tourist. Ing ability to project a mood and hold it to the very end of a sketch there was the uncanny ability to catch the tone and die inflections the people she showed us Mon Day night and there was also a command and Economy of gesture that never faltered for an instant. Warm hearted Judy miss Draper started her pro gramme with opening a Bazaar. On a Brown draped stage she in habited a whole English Tower Only Angels have wings drama Charlie Chan in Keno detective Story. In arms musical comedy. Valour wings of the Navy drama should husbands work comedy Dawn i die prison melodrama Cowboy quarterback comedy. By Frank Morriss jottings front stage and screen Raymond Massey and Clifton Side with lovable people. Here a muddle headed but warm hearted lady Bountiful moving among her own people. But she was no Mere eccentric with a funny hat and a parasol. The audience saw through inc Mirror that the artist held urn that she stood for and but she can suddenly leave the guide Book and plunge straight into the very heart and very meaning of one of the portraits. Miss Draper has no bitterness in her heart about people. She likes them deeply and because she does she makes us like them. Too. And wonder if our re actions to men and women Aren t very shallow. Miss Draper will present an entirely new programme tuesday at Sjo. It includes at a Chil Dren s party in Philadelphia an English lady showing her Garden three women and or. Clifford. On a porch in a Maine coast Village and Vive la France. She is giving the entire net receipts of these performances to the Canadian red Webb have roles for a night play in the Man dinner and title role in arranged to switch Massey will who came to Webb will take the Abe Lincoln in Illi Nois the Man who came to dinner by the Way is a satire farm gratitude for her share in subtly balanced Art. There were five More songs All of them Beautiful and each a Dis Tinct experience with pathos in Herbert Howell s the Little boy lost and exquisite shaping in. You Are my sky by the late Ivor on Alexander Woollcott. On the subject the that she stood for and the things that she had accomplished. You laughed with lady Bountiful but never at her. And there was the Irish peasant woman in county Kerry who could speak with such a lilt to her voice and such a lift to her heart As she stopped to Chat with the two Young women who had crossed her Hearth. In something like 15 minutes you saw what life could do to a woman with child like but never childish Faith. There was in that sketch a blend of the earthiness and the mysticism that is the Irish. Three breakfasts and so to America and three years of a woman s life. First the enraptured Bride done with such lightness and such tenderness of voice. And with scarcely a pause a breakfast 15 years later. Miss Draper was Able to Bridge mentally the things that had happened the feelings that had been bruised by seasons of mental cruelty. The final breakfast 40 years later gives us a woman who is Able 1o look Back without bitter Ness because time has dulled the edges of personal tragedy and Hasi added its own compensations. Three entirely different women come to life in the sketch about the court of human relations in new York. There is the guttural jewish grandmother clinging to tenement life and not wishing to go to the old folks Home there is the Mother who Lias Given what she has to her children and who does not wish to see the eager hands of her daughter push her aside for a Man and a marriage that will take her thou Sands of Miles away. There is the daughter herself tawdry and bewildered explaining to the judge her reasons for deserting two people. Miss Draper leaves that problem unsolved at the end of her sketch and you arc left to guess for yourself what the answer will be. Peak of the evening the closing sketch was in a Church in Italy and Here the artist touched the Peak of the evening. There were no stained Glass win Dows on the stage Only the Brown drapes.

Nor was she lacking for adequate support in Everett Staples As the Lovesick Soldier and Leonard Pat Rick not so Lovesick but much More practical. Several song numbers some dance routines and even a boxing match were included in this heart warming Little comedy. At times the plot warmed to slap stick but the Pace was Good and the Humour ingenious. The plot takes three hectic acts to unfold but reduced to its Barest essentials concerns the confusion that follows when one Canadian Soldier billeted at a French farm House agrees to be engaged to the daughter in order to foil the dastardly villian Gilles Guyot.
