Turning On It is too late for any one to “dis- over” Eugene O'Neill, yet every play he writes is a revelation, strangely imaginative in the instance of “The Enxperor Jones,” yet truth- fully commonplace in “Diffrent.” Dhe big task that confronts this sunple, fine writer for the theatre is to find his audience. He stands aloof from the crowd that pushes its dol- lars into the box office, writing to satisfy himself apparently rather than the mob that may stumble upon his Dlays. If there is any escape from mediocrity for ticket buyera, they will find it in the honesty of this play- wright. He is not afraid to face the realities of iife, no matter how sordid they may be, even though they take their way through a narrow street of a mean Village. This is his strength, “Diff'rent” is certainly a strange thing. At first a girl in a seaport vil- lage turns against a sailor because of his adventure with a brown girl of a strange island. She will not marry him. There is something in her soul too fine for the customary thing. She is “different”—that’s all, But against aH this O'Neill turns the ugliness, the coarseness of life as we get it. Per- haps we do not find it so gt to profanity as we have it in “cuss words" here, but the play is cruel in its reality, and when Mary Blair acts Ube painted spinster she is no less than @ small-town tragedy. ‘With the week came that, truly fine actress, Margaret W. y, in the leelandic play at the Greenwich Vil- lage Theatre. But you believe with me, perhaps, that the week dies in the snow. Plays for the Coming Week ‘N Thursday night the Shuberts will oben their new Ambgs- sador Theatre, in 49th Street jost west of Broadway, with a mu- sical comedy called ‘The Rose Girl.” William Cary Duncan wrote the book and lyrics, and the score is by An- selm Goetz].
