VEN in these days of front-paged outlaws when the reading public might easily mistake @ noose for @ spring necktie, {t is something of a shook to Go to a play and see a man dragged up @ flight of steps by @ rope fastened about his neck. ‘This ia what happened at the Garrick Theatre last night. It didn’t hanpen until nearly midnight because five rather long acts, with unusually long watts, compelled “Czar Paul I." to keep Icte hours. This view, however, would probably not be shared in St. Petersburg, where a five-act play serves very nicely as a curtain-raiser, But Dimitri Mereshkovsky’s ‘historical drama, according to in- formation furnished by Paul Orleneff’s press agent, can scarcely be considered a popular hit In Russta. In fact, the press agent paved the way to the Garrick by announcing under his breath that Mr. Orleneff would be guarded by two detec- tives while braving the recently advertised dangers of Thirty-fifth street. As no one, however, called for vodka at the neighboring cafe between acts there seemed to be a complete absence of sples, except for a few critics, and as thelr knowledge of Russian was de- cldedly Hmited they were naturally con+ sidered harmless. Usualy the critical fraternity delights in looking wise, but the best it could do this time was to wear a curious look, tragis t vit Russian {s—perplexing, But as ths on audience wus two-thirds Russian, the Jealousy. actors were not merely on speaking terms with themselves. And for the benighted few the pro- gramme shed lght on the story of the play. Frojn the synopsis it appeared that Paul's mental qualifications to hold the “B.
