- THE NEW PLAYS *. “Malvaloca” Beautifully Staged ’ by Equity Players . By CHARLES DARNTON Orne HORSESHOE that hit the stage of the 48th Street Theatre last night with a dull, heartening thud carried with it the best of Inck from cuthusiastic friends who were told @ moment later by President Fran- cis Wilson that the greatest aim of the Equity Rlayers was the production St American plays by American authors, Meanwhile we had a Spanish play, *“*Malvaloca,"* by Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez Quintero, but we could at least fect reasonably certain that it iad been translated by an American, Jacob S. Fassett jr. ; *Here was a beautiful production Staged by Augustin Dunean, with the fray walls of a convent broken by lofty arches, the outer room of a foundry reflecting the glow of molten metal, and a flower-brightened dwell- ing before the window of which a re- ligious procession passed, its songs of praise followed by peals of the convent’s new bell—a symbol suz- Besting the earthly salvation of Mal- valoca if nothing higher. For once Spanish love isn't neatly fo flery as might be expected, In place ‘of turbulent passion, the com- | paratively uneventful play has some- thing of a spiritual, as well as poetic, jquality.

Still, her troubles are not over- whelming. Salvador is quite decent about letting her alone once he knows she and Leonardo are madly in love and when the young man’s sister arrives she is soon won over, To help matters still more, Salvador agrees to clear out. He is really quite unusual, telling his friend and partner that he has deceiv@@ women all his life, but cannot bring himself to deceiving a man. This. confession is the most original thing in the play, just as the inan js, its most original character Leonardo is merely the ordinary love- azed youth tortured by thoughts of what the girl had been before knew he 3ut in the end the ring- Ing ofthe bell stirs him so deeply that he determines to go on being happy and tormented, there wy Malvaloca to the seventh hea delight.
