. i AMUSE NATIONAL—Mantel as “Hamlef The presentation of Hamlet last even- ng at the National by Mr. Mantell seems %0 call, not for a discussion of the qual- Bty of the acting, but rather for a survey ©f the possibilities that may be found in the clusive personality of the Bhakespearean Dane. There is also the pleasure of comparing the more Bumptuous scenic accompaniments which this actor has provided with the simpler draperies affected by other producers of the day. Further- . it is a privilege to have co; bined with these other elements of a finished performance the contribution of Miss Genevieve Hamper, one of the most adnirable Ophellas In stage rec- ollection 1t is reasonable to belleve that Mr. Mantell has permitted the practice of the distinctly modern stage to modify his understanding of the kind of a person Hamlet really was. Occaslonal short, crisp utterances, a suggestion when' in action of the thought, “Let us go about the business that we Have in hand.” and other signs that he realizes his importanee as one of the royal family, give to the performance & touch that obliterates the idea of a dreamer. or a person who has been overwhelmed mentally in the pres- ence of tragedy, with the result that there is a keener appreciation of the erim purposes of the Danish prince. ities arc retained and atell puts force into the which he is moved by the ate revolt against ex- Ophelia presents a “ter charming in its ‘simplicity, ing the varied moods of a voung girli borne down by a succes- tion of torturing misfortunes, and he sings the songs of a disordered mind with a sweetness that is in- seperable from the period preceding the death of that character.

The Strand next week, beginning Sunday matinee, will offer three head- nevs and two standard acts on its program. Jimmy Savo and company. in_“Slow Motion™; the Royal mysteriou; and Juan i P THE EVENING one music authority. It is a beautiful” work. The opening movement (lento, allegro non troppo) emphasizes the haunting, simple motive of the sym- phony in a mood that is as persistent as an elusive, recurring dream. The loveliest of the three movements is the second, (allegretto), which is opened with exquisite pizzicato notes by the strings. The third movement (allegro non troppo) returns to the elusive, mebulous effect so painstak- ingly brought out in the first move- ment and the whole symphony leaves an_impression that Is pastoral in its peacefulness. Undoubtedly the stringed instru- ments were the leading division ot tho orchestra, under the guidance of Pierre Monteux. The brasses seemed somewhat weak and uncertain in the brilllant Wagnerian numbers on the second half of the program. ‘The drums, however, were excellent and the reeds were good. The fire of | Wagner, as_ exemplified under the leadership of Stokowskl with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra when it recently gave Wagners Prelude and Liebestod,” from “Tris- tan and Isolde” one of the group glven yesterday by the Boston aggre- gatlon, was noticeably absent, but| the religlous solemnity of Wagner's masterpioces was in_evidence and | scemed particularly fitting to the Lenten seaton. Monteux's reading of | the great Cerman’'s work seams to bring out the great spiritual qual- ities of the composition rather than the throbbing emotional qualities. | The overture to “The Flying ! Dutchman,” the two seloctions from “Tristan and Isolde, “Stegfried's Funeral Music.” from “Dusk of the ds,” and “Siegfried's Aecent to| Bruennhilde's Rock. “Morning | Daw; Slegfried’s Journey Up_the | Rhine” and “Dusk of the Gods—Pro- lcgue” were the selections chosen for the Wagnerlan part of the program. M. Monteux’s treatment of these | numbers was the subject of much | discussion after the concert. John Charles Thomas, Tomorrow.! John Charles Thomas, the American | baritone, will be heard In recital to- morrow afternoon at 4:30 at the Na- tional Theater, under the local man- agement of T. Arthur Smith, Inc. This' will be the second appearance In | Washington this year of Mr. Thomas | in recital, and 15 the resuit of the enthusiasm which greeted his musi- cianship and personality during his former visit.
