If the play means anything ft te that the man ‘who places his happiness in the hands of a woman jis taking « gamblers chance. It ‘@iffers materially from other plays of horror and pity by Hauptmann, such ag “The Weavers” and “Before Sunrise.” In the dress of old Pojand woman compéiiing her to gase upon the Body of the lover killed by ser- vante at his order in a sort of domes- | tte chamber of horrors, the play has something in common with pictur- ‘sque melodrama, The jealous hus: | and i Ike w justined Othello, By no means can Elga be considered a modern Desdemona, This brililant,! |iaughing, defiant beauty, half-vam pire, helf-child, who deceives hi husband arid plays with her lover, is an audacious, vivid figure with the Slavic glamour added to her ca- pricious charm. To this strange role Miss Hedwig | Reicher gives a gypay-like quality | though she | ™m her, the apr-ng of it all seems artificia Mg t in Her first real grasp on the charecter is felt when she talks of having learned to be on good ternis with Death. This is a really fine mo- ment in her performance, Her later hysterical outbursts are moving but not always intellizible, and it is not until she hurls at the husband the final defiant speech, “I hate you! I apit upon you!" that she strikes a clear and thrilling dramatic note. Because of the dim lighting the play demands it is only at tho curtain call after the performance, in the full Reicher’s rich beauty Is reveal best advantage, Howover, this | Matter beyond the power of+ inte! j ent stage management. - The actr hag one tragic moment at least when she is forced to look upon the mur- | dered lover stretched upon her bed. A» the uxorious husband John Blair brings into play his familiar mannerisms and stalks through some of,the scenes with that stiff restraint ho loses only in convincing momonts of violence, when his monotonous , Speech also gives way to more human jexpression, His extravagant love- jmaking, it must be confessed, jenough to try the | wife. tator could withhold sympathy from Mr. Blair at the special performance on Monday night, when he was the victim of two of the most perversely ludicrous accidents that ever befell an actor in ono evening. Not only was he enatched buld-headed, ax the say- ing goes, when Miss Reicher, in an ardent embrace, pulled off his wig end sent it sailing through an open window, but later on an !mpassioned kisa left him quite destitute of his mustache. With good sense he went through the reat of the play without his, wig, but circumstances, of courae, compelled him to put back the mus- tache. Samson shorn by Delilah was | 98. nothing to Mr. Blair after Kiga had bereft him of his hirsute adorn- ments, yet happily the best behaved audience I have ever seen merely smiled—audibly here and there, but considerately. The other members of the compan: play their parts acceptably. Mi: Chealir ie particularly true to type as the sympathetic maid who aids the wife in her intrigue. It is something of & strain, however, to sit through a | performance with no intermissions. ) Only a monk's chorus is chanted be- tween the scenes, for the play, as you may know, is merely the dream of «| knight who sleeps in @ monastery, | There is something significant in the monk who comes to bis chamber and drops the bint that the man who Places hie happiness in the keeping of a woman may have a aad awaken- ing, and this significance is empha- sized by having the same actor play both the monk and the husband. You may take the fdea for what it is; worth. But the play is interesting, and My. Reicher has produced it in) an interesting manner. His intelligent | and courageous attempt to give plays that otherwise might not reach our stage is deserving of encouragement.
