If the$e are two professions in the world that hold pleasant antipathy and perfect understanding and appreciation of each other's prowess and shortcom ings It's the merry little burglar and thexmerry little limb of the law. Play wrights recognize" this and have made dozens of plays out of it or have used bits of It to put in plays something else In "Officer 666," at the Baker this week. Augustin MacHugh has made an entire play with a set of policemen and one lone burglar as his main char-rr- Arf,.i anv lack of balance nuici iu . -J " - t . in having so many policemen chasing . . , ih..nrh tli rcn the one lone purser iihuub- acts the author has given the burgling one qualities that make him a likable, artistic well-bred and always interest ing thief. His specialty and only, line is stealing fine paintings. His passion for other peoples' pictures leads him into the home of Travers Gladwin, who Is supposed to be traveling abroad. It so happens, however, that Gladwin has returned, and it is his earnest endeav or to catch the nice thief that makes the play so hilariously funny. The burglar is a nervy "boy. who neatly diverts suspicion from himself by assuming Gladwin's name and posi tion and when exposure threatens It is the real Gladwin who is under a cloud To make matters more com plicated a perfectly adorable girl has become engaged In a half-hearted way to the burglar, whom she believes to be Gladwin, and it is the genuine Glad win who rescues her from an embar rassing situation. Gladwin induces Officer 666 to ex change clothes with him, and in his new role catches the burglar. But what happens to the ununiformed real policeman makes a whole comedy in itself. Robert Gleckner is Gladwin, a role similar to his excellently played lead in "Stop Thief" one of the quick com edy boyish parts he plays so com mendably. William P. Powell is the artistic thief, playing it with delib erate force and quiet procedure.. Clarke Silvernail shows a rare comedy spirit in depicting 'an obtuse Englishman friend of Gladwin. In process of the play he becomes handcuffed as an ac cessory before the fact, and his lamentations as he climbs stairs and delves into basements and goose chases all through the plot in search of -the cop who locked his wrists together is one of the besf pieces of work Mr. Sil vernail has given us.
