“Liliom” an Interesting Fantasy ‘THE NEW PLAYS | BY CHARLES DARNTON | Pommitting suicide to escape trom earthly troubles is merely jumping the frying pan into the eternal if we are to believe Franz Moinar, and it must be admitted that ‘the author of “The Devil” makes out an ingenious case with “Liliom,” Produced by the Theatre Guild last ht at the Garrick. f Simple as this may seem, it must /be explained that “Liliom,” the nick- mame of the jumper, is the Hun- @arian slang term for “a tough” or “Toughneck.” * While serving as barker for a merry-go-round in an @musement park just outside Buda- Pest, this fellow picks up an inno- eat and trusting servant girl and lives in idleness with her until she tells him that she is to become a mother. Although he is strangely Joyous over this news, she cannat keep him from going away with an Qlder companion in crime to stab and rob a cashier at a lonely railroad bridge. But the cashier takes mat- ters into his own hands with a re- Volver, and when he whistles for the police Liliom leaps from the bridge and stabs himself with the kitchen Knife he has brought along. Carried home, he assures Julie that he had beaten her because he couldn't bear hearing her cry—sensitive soul!- whereupon he sinks contentedly into | what he supposes to be everlasting Test. But that's where ¢ bully makes the bi his life—or death. inished with im, going Fa the author iceeds to make death a burden to him © policemen from another w hite-haired old boys in frock ¢ —-rouse the astonished Liliom an take him to the police court of the Beyond, where a kindly, Magistrate sentence: years in the cleansing only thing he can be sure about is 4hat he will have a light for tt @rette given him by an guard. There are two other prisoners be- fore the bar, one of whom starts to explain that he is a Lutheran, only to be told by the trate that re- Nigion is of no interest to him. The other man has served his time, gone back to earth for a day and per- formed a good deed by repairing the roof over his children’s heads, so he fs sent through another door into everlasting light. In the final scene Liliom gets a day off on earth, and) goes to Julie's house, where he sees| his daughter. On his y down, in wpite of being in the custody of the two heavenly policemen, he has stolen a star for his child. But she shrinks from him, and he ts. still so ill-tempered that he slaps her arm. ‘The mother recognizes him, but a moment later he is gone with his celestial bodyguard. TTe seems to! meed a little more roastiny—at any} rate, he doesn't appear to be well| done. | “Liliom,” as you may judge, is an unusual fantasy, at times siniste gain humorous, and, above all, oriz {nial and interesting. It 1s also well acted and cleverly stag Joseph Schildkraut was a piec- tyreque, swaggering bully, true to type even in the Beyond, and Eva Le Gallienne gave a simple, appeal- ing performance as the poor servant] girl. Dudtey Dieres as the old repro- bate, Helen Westley as the gaudy owner of the merry-co-round, and Hortense Alden as Julie's amusing friend also did good wor! weekly or monthly payments on Man-tailored in a are the smart, chic models sizes for women and misses, styles of the season.
