Willilam Kim (By Her: eviewer) Hugh Walpole's literary chamber | of horrors, “A Man With Red Hair,"” is the current entertainment at Par- sons’ theater, Hartford, its American premiere having been given last eve- ning for the edication of those who tike their Jekyll and Hyde straight. Do yow remember the night you gormandized on Welsh rarebit short- Iy before going to bed? All those Things you saw in the nightmare which followed have come true on the stage in the dramatization of Walpole's book. It pricks the nerv- o system and chills the blood and marrow. The drama is done by the New York Garrick players a group of| exceptional falent. It is not a “mystery” play in the accepted sense and makes use of mo conven- tional artifices such as secret panels and clutching hands upon which so many of our thrillers depend. A play of atmosphere rather than ac- tion, it held last night's audience in sustained silent suspense which was a greater tribute to the actors than arfy amount of applause could have been. u The principal character is Mr. Crispin, a grotesque person with flaming red hair and putty counte- nance; a maniac whose insanity takes the form of a belief that by inflicting pain en others he can be- come exalted to the. state of god- hood. 1In furtherance of his creed, he cuts the tongues out of the | mouths of his three Japanese serv- ing men who have come under his influence and who employ their knowledge of jiu jitsu to torture others who fall into his trap. 1 Crispin has a fondness for rare | etchings. Through this hobby he | meets Charles Percy Harkness, an American, traveling in England. Harknees visits him at his home perched on top of a <liff overlooking the sea and becomes involved in the rescue of Hesther Tobin, who has | married Crispin's half wit son. The American is about to suffer mutila- tion when he escapes in the most unexpected manner, The character of Crispin is plaved by Edward G. Robinson, remem- bered for his work as the bootleg- ger in “The Racket.” He handles his new role with demonaical finish and with eloquent silences. Harold Vermilyea displays convineing real- ism and fine restraint as the Ameri- can caught in the web of blood curdling circumstances. Mary Ken- nedy, the only woman in the cast, is strikingly effective. The scene in which she becomes hysterical at the horrors of the house in which she is virtually a prisoner is drama of the first quality. Kirby Hawkes STRAND » THURS.. FRI, SAT. Mr. | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6; does a fine bit of acting as Crispln half wit son.
