This could clearly be seen through the ae B of “The Return of Peter Grimm,” which stood out at the Belasco Theatre Jast night as the most remarkable play in the history of the modern Ameri. | i can drama. Nothing so strange, unparalleled and yet so simple has appeared on) Sur stago within my recollection. | It was a master-stroke to make the supernatural simple In achieving this| David Belasco did a thing that has not been done on the stage before.

In this difficult rolo the or nary actor might well wish himself dead, Mr, Warfeld must have felt that was speaking for himself quite as much as for Peter when he said: “I've go: 4 message, but I can't get !t across." No actor ever faced greater diiculties. Bs Warfleld's simple honesty saved tho trying situation, That's wha: told, thats what meant more than his desperate cr/,,""Hear me!" This acene saye, Mr, War.

Here he sounded younger than he looked, “yet he caught the obstinate though kindly spirit of Peter perfectly, and in. ap- Dearance he was the old Dutch uncle to the life, The actor found his greatest holp from the author in the ingenious arrange- ment which allowed Peter to scoff at Dr. McPherson's arguments on spiritualism.
