Y FAR the finest of the Century Theatre's fine productions is “Joseph and His Brethren,” which not only commanded the admiration but held the interest Of its first audience for three hours and a half on Saturday afternoon. As a@ pageant Louis Parker's play is an artistic triumph, but more Motable still is ite human quality. In this fact Hes the reu! significance of the success achieved by the play. The scenic magnificence of the production does no‘. overshadow the straightforward story that moves through the thirteen scenes with steadily increasing interest. Drama has not been sacrificed to color. Of first and last importance te the fact that the play Is alive. Its characters are hu- man beings, not merely figures revealed in a pale religious light. Yet “Joseph and His Brethren’ the same tim @ spectacle of surp: that marks the highest point that ha: been reached on the American stage. Too much praise cannot be given George Cc.
