THE NEW PLAYS “Persons Unknown” Murder Without Mystery By CUARLES DARNTO HE sins of the father in“Persons Unknown" were visited upon the udience at the Punch and Judy Theatre last night simply becaune ‘the unwise parent did ‘not know his own son. ‘This peculiar slice of * family ilfe was cut by Robert Housum to fill three acts, but aftef the first one there wasn't nruch left. We had reason to expect something sore and something better from the author of “The Gypsy Tra all.”” For a change, there wah murger without mystery, But having wit- 1 the crime we could take little, ‘if any, interest In the efforts to solve it. Sitting through the second and third \cts was much like attending @ post-mortem, he only character to hold attention at all was the youth who raised his walking stick and un- intentionally Killed a man intent upon informing the father of his dealings with crooks In Paris after the theft of an enormously valuable Rembrandt. This lad was chiefly interesting for hls ability as a liar, He put apa false front that was astonishing, to say the least, before breaking down and telling the truth to the father. This worthy man not only blamed himself for having left bis son to the ‘care of others atter sepurating from his wife, but when circumstantial evi- dence threatened the boy he pro- ceeded to’ take the crime on himself in a written “confession,” and then prepared to shoot himself. The woman aved him from car gave the poor thing something to do after standing or sitting td’e for nearly two hours. Then it turned out that Peter wusn't Sheridan's son after all and that he had taken thc place of a child who dled, Strangel. enough, the author had still anothe/ trick to play. The butler was ex- posed as the crook who stolo the Rembrandt—and there {t was neatly sewed up In the back of a sofa! Art was a passion with this fellow, ana he promised to go to the electric chatr in ,placo of Peter—having es- caped frém prison after beng con- victed of murder—if his rich em- ployer would agree to finance the e: reer of a little boy who was sure to be a great painter somo day. With this happy arrangement, the dull and improbable play ended. John Miltern was earnest, {f some- what methodical, os the head of the troubled household, and Martha Hed- man waited patiently as’ the bride- elect, though she didn't seem to feel quite at home. Hugh Huntley made the repentant youth a wonderful Har, Find [ h#rmonte audiences, Erich Korngold’s mphonie overture, (‘Sursum Cor- la’), as yet unheard in this country, and Strauss's “Salome's Dance."
