THE NEW PLAYS} “Margaret Schiller” Deals Vaguely With War. BY CHARLES DARNTON Always on tho firing line of the emotions, that dashing skirmisher of the novelist’s fleld, Hall Caine, has taken a wiep forward by fixing the time of his war play, “Marguret Sohilier,” indefinitely in “the future.” The play revealed Inst night at the New Aristerdam Theatre dents vaguely with war, Bo fer as immediate interest is concerned, this melodraina with an unhappy ending served the purpose, ate, of miving a new role to » who found her way 8 of piaygoors in “Out directly to the symnathies of her feudionce, In the role of a German foverness parsing herself off as a Swiss girl and taking the position of & spy in the household of Wneiand’s Prime Minister, she found herself in a Decullar altuation, to say the least, for it must be granted that, leaving tender sentiment out of the question, @ German governess is not likely to be taken into the arms of an English Prime Minister these days. Accord- ingly, we waited to see the self-sacri- fiding heroine killed by her brother with a bullet designed to cut short the career of Sir Robert Temple So-called love interest must neces- @arily be absent from a play in which @n attractive young “enemy allen” in London starts out to avenge her father’s death and ends by dying #0 that tho Prime Minister may live. ‘The basic idea of the play is to em- Dhasize tho Inevitable injustice of war in tts relation to human beings, if 1 understand it correctly, though I must say Hall Caine is not always easily understood. Apparently, he thes to be falr to both sides tn the Present conflict. “The future” may be taken with a grain of dramatic salt, It is only one of the possible re- sults of war that Margaret's father dies after three months of imprison- ment in England and that her uncle amd cousin jose their positions in London because they are Germans. But Margaret's trick to pass her- self Off as a Swiss governess engaged | for the Prime Minister's motherless Uttle daughter is exposed so early in the play that there is little sus-| pense. The one and only dramatic moment is reached after Margaret's brother draws the at @ secret council of the Gerinans which leaves him committed to kill the Prime Min- ister, or, in the event of failure, to tate his own life. “He makes his way at night into Sir Roger's house afd is told by bis sister that he will know the time to do his deadly work when @ @oor bangs and some one enters the darkened room. A human note ts| struck in the scene betweeh sister and brother. The play is very reai in places and incredibly unreal in oubers. When Sir Robert discovers the part | the supposed governess is playing and permits her to atay in bis bouse on her oath not to ter into any further conspiracy inst him or Wagland, he seems a singularly ami- able and sympathetic gentieman with curtously little to do except to take the dangerous intruder ino his con- fidence. But not being so familiar | with bigh political circles as M: Caine, I must defer to his view of) Britivh cabinet members. in the pro- logue these weighty and heavyweight gentlemen are certainly platitudinous even beyond the allowance usually / \ made for statesmen. ‘The main thing, | \} far as are concerned, is that heroine | fr thot down in the final . and there may be some consola- 4A in the fact that breath Is spared to tell the Prime Minister what has done for him. Nes Ferguson began by making the most of hor emotional opportuni. @o that there was very little for her in the end, Clean cut, jigent and interesting, she com- manded attention the moment she |. But she might better have wed her strength and played her scenés more quietly. At times gasps were painful—and not at neceasary: An actress, like a » 6 id learn how to breathe. Miss * hal date never failed to be Merman’ ‘Trevor, in tho role of the Prime Minister, acted with unfailing @igaity and distinction. In short, he an admirable performance. Reichardt was simple and human as Mrs. Schiller; Joseph Adel- man played Dr. Schiller excellently, and Gareth Hughes gave a vivid, sen- sitive portrayal of the boy Into whose hand the weapon of “vengoance” was placed, The acting as a whole, for that matter, proved that the play had been well cast.
