Somerset Maugh- am, “The Sacred Flame,” playing at Henry Miller’s Theatre. Prominent in the cast are Mary Jerrold, Clare Eames, Casha Prin- gle, and Anthony Bushell. Talky in the first act. absorbing in the second and diminishing in- {terest in the third comprise a play that is, acceptable theatrically but not to be reckoned among the best |dramas that have come from the facile pen of this well known au- | thor. Another appropriate title for “The Sacred Flame” would be “The Right to Kill.” A dashing young husband has been permanently and seriously injured in an airplane wreck and has been a_ hopeless cripple for five years at the rise of the curtain. The invalid is sur- rounded by every care and attention by his mother, a trained nurse and his youxrg wife. From the tropics comes his younger brother on a visit, and in the first act one learns that the inevitable has happened in that this brother has fallen in love with the young wife and all re- straint has been thrown to the winds, Whether or not the invalid suspects the relation that exists in the cur- iously sensitive way sick people have of sensing such matters is a ques- tion. The tragedy is imvending as the curtain falls for the first time. The next morning the cripple is discovered dead. Apparently all ‘complexities will be out by this happening, and the doc- tor is about to sign the necessary | death certificate giving the cause of the demise as heart-failure, when the nurse comes out with the start-| ling assertion that, someone had de- liberately given the overdose of sleeping powders. Under | the stress of this climax the tangled |! emotions of the people involved in the plot come to light, with natural suspicion directed toward the wife. In the last act in a calm confes- sion the mother removes all doubt \and suspicion by explaining why and how she herself caused her son’s death. At the curtain fall in- stead of going to the coroner or police with the story, to natural causes. Not a particularly pleasant eve* ning in the theatre, a play of un- even merits and characterizations with many opportunities for over-! acting that the more than compe- tent members of the cast refrain |from indulging in.
