T IIIU Tllonfri. la n n1n-oV,l l.lrrx the Little Theatre, la n vulnerable piece and Its thesis Is naturally far less r startling than at the date of Its com- pletlon 1883. Nevertheless, In Its original form the' play evinces sound and 'careful workmanship, vitality of , characterization and a great deal of , dialectic! skill lljoernstjerno njoernson was, of course, no Ibsen. The author of "Hedda Gabler," even In his dralibet realltrt! dramas, was often a sublcctlvo poet. Tils dramas, moreover, vibrate with over tones and undercurrents tf psvcholog'cal force that arc at onco acute and tan tallxlnir. The world's most Rifted play wrights have been profilguto of enigmas The "problems" of "Hamlet" and "Faust" are htlll fnlr cnm for ill eusslon. Ibscn'a "Interpreters" are legion. And this Is so lcs becalms his mental processes ro muddy t'un be cause his profundity Is well worthy of , the literary plummet. Savo only In the unique double, drama, "Beyond Our Power," onco offered here by Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Woernson's talents lay In another field, The zealous Norwegian nationalist was not nnlv n dramatist and a novelist, but journalist of distinguished ability and a public speaker of convincing eloquence. Ills vlrtuolty In pamphleteering, his Im passioned espousal of very definite social reforms won particular attention through the clarity nnd simplicity of his reasoning. Theo qualities are con spicuously patent 111 "A Gauntlet." To a certain extent, this comedv may be regarded as a long "leading art'Jle' In dramatlo form. The unfair applica tion of divergent moral standards for men and wcni'm Is tho topic. Arguments of all shades, presented through the mouthpieces of well-drawn dramatis per sonae, arc lucidly and powerfully pre sented, Tho terrain of tho writer's sym nathlcs Is entirely obvious. Hlocrmon bitterly resents tho venerable soc'al die- I turn which condones In a man those very moral lapses which It condemns In a woman. But with nrtlslto acumen, tho solu tion of thH problem, rooted In tho social structure of tho ages. Is left unsolved in tho four-net play. Svuvu's valiant efforts to extricate herself from her entanglements conic to naught. The reconciliation with her erring swain, who, however. Is by no means a con ventional vtlllan, concludes the play lij ,,U nt tpr-nlliflll IriinV" tllll,.), lC f II I ..- w. ............ . ,, -. moro effective than any stagy victory i of "vlrtuo." In other words, BJocrn kii with masterly adroitness simply states tho Issue and puts the answer up to that very civilization vvlioo weak nesses ho has exposed. c UKELY this method Is the most con- eJ vlnclr.g and least offensive way of handling propaganda before tho foot lights. Galsworthy employed It with MAXINE ELLIOTT Who will bu a stellar member of the fine catt of "Lord and Lady Algy," which William Faver eham will present at the Lyric I on March 11 throbbing sincerity In "Strife," and Shaw with stinging satire in "Wid owers' Houses." From this opinion Os man Edwards, who has made the present three-act version of "A Gauntlet," as disclosed last Monday, obviously dli sents. It has been htntcrd that numerous re visions 6f the piece by BJoernson him self have In part w an anted tho per version, but the Idea la scart-ely cred ible. The piece, as It was first submitted at the Little Theatre, simply presents the cltuatlon 'of a virtuous young -git betrothed to a cad. She slaps him In the fuce for his sins and tho curtain falls. Had BJoernson tp forgotten Ills art , Istry as to be g"ullty of such shallow ' ness. It Is Inconceivable that Kdwlr BJoerkman would have omitted refer ence to It In his admirable preface tc his careful translation of "A Gauntlet ' Much of tho force of that "olllclal" ren derlng of the play lies In the fact that even its most reprehensible personage are not melodramatic "villains," but human beings of very familiar pattern Were Alf Cr.rlsteneen really tho "rotter" he appeared to be on the Little Theatr stage. BJoernson would have wrltter merely a superficial melodrama and noi a scorching survey of a social structure that still wants purification. That the play, whether In .Its garbled form, or as Mr, BJoerkman offers jt, and as ll In now wisely to bo given here beginning next Monday, has a somewhat archaic savor Is only to have been expected. The eighties and nineties of the last century comprised a pioneering dramatic epoch in which prud bh footllght shackles were severed by certain dramatists of potent ability. Ibseri and BJoernson were In the van guard of these "plain speakers." -This unveiling process Is no novelty nowadays. Yesterday's Iconoclast Is today's tory. Shaw keenly realized this W'hen .he painted the character of Mrs. Clandon, the outmoded reformer In 'You Never pan Tell.," Was ho un .wittingly forecasting his own fate and to' some extent even Ibsen's? The rav ings of Clement Scott against the al leged shamelrasnesa of "O hosts" now re semble the futile tirocess of breaking a butterfly.

Indisputably the worth of rrallstlo social drama fluctuates with ' march of the calendar. Uy 1930 all ' ltn save "Tho Pretenders." "Lady i"", Lmperor and aalllloan,' Peer Oynt" and "Brand," nil of the "revolu tionary" plays of Shaw and BJoernson too aside, possibly, from' "Beyond Ou Power," may be relegated to tho cate gory of "hick numbers." Praise for the craftsmanship of there works, the loose-fashioned Shavlin dramas excepted, will perhaps endure nnd their vivid powers of characterisa tion may bo found prtlseworthy. But lis popular footllght fare these plays, nd mlrable In their clay, are likely to become as dead as Tom Robertson's, whose "Caste" nlono Is now seen occasionally In well-nursed revivals. THE seal of old ngc, now already vlslbto on "A Gauntlet," lays par ticular ex lotions upon Its Interpreters. That these exactions aro In tho main brilliantly filled strikingly testifies to the bterllng hlstrlonlsm of the Theatre Workshop's present organli.itlon. The company, which Includes such artists as Hilda Spong and George Henry Trader, Is ussuredly of EUfllclent competence! to present a notable variety of worth-while plays. It Is rumored that with the vuluable addition of Mary Shaw, Plnero's "The Notorious Mrs. nbbsmlth" may bo revived by the organization. This Play, though not Its author's best. Is still Interesting and powerful, and tho comparative Infrcquency of Its prescnti tlons In Philadelphia saves It from be ing hackneyed. Its most memorablo per formances hero were thoso given by Mrs Patrick Campbell, with tho very authentic nsslstance of George Arllss, at the Gurrlrk Theatre early In the present century. Other excellent works for an enter prise is Idealistic and as noncommercial ns tho Theatro Workshop exist in abundance. Possibly the management Is already overburdened with advice. Nevertheless, the present writer Is em boldened to offer his suggestions John Jtascflcld's "The Tragedy of Nan," Paul tl... I. ... ..T.1... ,. . .l. ,,, """J "f ",' , -""'" "l ".' '" md "Tho Enigma" and SchnlUler's "Llebelel." The last named was eloquently acted t-onio jears ago In New York by Katherlne Grey and tho same Mr. Tra der now absoclatcd with tho Workshop under tho tltlo of "The lleckonlng." liignt o love ia ut once a moro graphic and accurate caption for this touching drama. In its English form It would be new to Phlladelnhlans. Tho original version of this piece, which so Impressively flajs tho Austrian arlsto crntlc caste, was given for i few, per formances when tho German Theatre was located at Sixth street and Glrard avenue "Tho Course of the Flame," available In a translation published under the auspices of the Uruma League, has never been given here. Tho other Her vlcu play was produced by Olga Nether solo nt the Broad Street Theatro some twelve years ago. Those were the days of that onco admirable actress's lament able artistic decline and tho full effect of the French dramatist s Intense situa tions was unrealized. "The Tragedy of Nan" Is Masefleld's one successful essay In stage tragedy: Mary Servoss. a talented young artist, who Is to replace tho also gifted Olive Wyndham at tho "Workshop," should be able to gtvo n moving portrayal of the titular herolno. .Two uiicmalllled hits In melodrama and musical comedy respectively are now eliciting patronage here. Neither of them calls for detailed scrutiny. "The Man Who Came, Back" Is a character istic pattern play. It Is "Experience" without the ubiquitous symbols: "Tho Wanderer," minus tho antique setting. Henry Potter, so forcefully acted by Conrad Nagel, Is none other than the prodigal ton. purified by adversity. Playwright Goodman manipulates his puppets through five exciting episodes, one of which Involves au opium dert scene, calculated to Induce thrills. It Is Idle to point out tho bristling Incon 'slstcnclcs of the piece. It makes no pre tensions to bo Intellectual. Clearly the author's aim has been to devise an effective melodrama. In this he has em phatically succeeded. The work Is quick moving and undeniably entertaining and Its Intrinsic appeal Is vastly enhanced jy the capital acting of Mary Nash, Mr. igel, Mr. Uempsey and a well-selected cast. "Over the Top," the other novelty, Is in excellent specimen of the Inchoate nuslcal revue. Of Its particular and popular genre. It Is by far tho best xemplar that has held tho stage of the Chestnut Street Opera House this sea son. Staging and costuming ore dainty nd tasteful. Comely femininity is bundantly represented. Justice John tone, the much-featured star. Is un qulvocally pretty. Her other assets are cgllglble, but happily competent fun lakers are present to bear the burden f the entertainment.
