The Evening World Dally Magazine, NEW DIA Sicilian Players Gibe Repulsive Exhibition of Lust and Murder. BY CHARLES DARNTON. |S ee theatregoers will get all they can stand from the Sicillun Players. Their first performance at the Broadway Theatre last night wasn't easy to stomach—and this word, whether you Ike tt or not, ts the one that best fits Mim! Agugila’s physically “emotional” acting. Strong men turned weak and women turned away when the Aguglia per- former threw an amorous fit in the second act of “Malla,” a repulsive exhthition of lust and murder mildly described as “a reallstte Sicillan drama.” Compared with it “Cavalleria Rusticana” is a gentle spring song. If {ts author, Luigi Capuana, Intended to leave anything to the !magination the actors certainly had no such silly notion in their heads. It 1s falr to presume that the audience got much more than it had bargained for.

In the last act she showed pleasant side of vr ouatur seized and Nedd eeehh the m until Cola att sight for a moment, rushed into the yard and raised an uproar, The scene became a riot when Ninu and Cola grappled with each other.

Among those down- stalrs was the Itallan Consul In a box decorated with the American and Italian flags, while even more conspicuous, on the opposite side of the house, sat Miss Alice Nielsen, decorated with a white bonnet that attracted general attention. ‘There was no sign of recognition when “the most famous tragedienne of the world," according to the programme, slouched upon the stage colored dress of Jana she seemed at first only a sulky peasant. Her sister, Ter- esa Aguglia, prettier and slimmer, was her sister Nedda in the play. Nedda all smiles in her wedding-dress, which the other women examined, even to the lining. But Jana was all frowns, She refused to dance. ‘The "Bis!" from the gallery did not go to her feet. She was hated to see Nedda get Cola, mighty of | pompadour, splendent in Jana's lover, with her, cheer her lerce of mustache, and re- pink shirt and red sash.
