Of Charles Frohipan's production of ITO

Il have rarely witpessed i performance

The National - Mansfield in Henry

Tomorrow night at the National The
atre promises to be the most notable To-
cal artistic occasion of years. The au-
dience will undoubtedly be large and
thoroughly representative As for the en-
tertainment-weIl. there is Mansfield in
his revival of king Henry W Let us
be surprised If we can but this artist is
always a promise and an assurance, and
expectation is not easily smothered.
The curtain will rise at 7:45 Those who
know the trade mark of the Mansfield
management know that this means 7:45,
and those who come later come at the
expense of good taste. of annoyance to
those who are courteous enough to come
promptly, and of missing the earlier
scenes of the spectacular production.
Carriages may be ordered for about II
O'Clock, though the last curtain may not
fall till some fifteen or twenty minutes
later owing to the petty delays incident
to working so many intricate scenes and
moving so many hundred people on d
new stage for the first time.
Mansfield and his organization travel by
special train of ten cars. Four hundred
people appear in Henry V" Among
them are a cast of fifty-two, a ballet of
thirty-four, and a choir of forty men and
boys. Ii was to be expected that in APP
preaching king Henry W he would
bring a realizing sense OF the picture
well as the dramatic possibilities of this
history. FROM all accounts he has sur
passed his own and all previous endeav-
ors in placing this spectacle on the stage
Indeed, it is said TO outstrip any dra-
matte display the stage has had. There
are nineteen different scenes in Henry
W. OF varying sizes, from the drops in
front to the elaborate displays of the
royal presence chamber of the English
court. the beach at Southampton. with
the English fleet riding at anchor the
walls OF Harbour. with the yawning
breach. Powered and hammered London
at the gateway of the old bridge on the
occasion of the victor's return. the battle
of Agincourt. the French royal palace at
Rouen. and the superb interior Of the
chancel of the Troyes cathedral on the
occasion Of the nuptials of English Harry
and French Kate.
In the cast are ffty-two speaking char
acters Many of the names stand for
achievements in the drama.
Mr.. Manstield's task in preparing an
acting version has been one of restoration
rather than elimination. Chorus is re-
tanned in full and appears in the charac-
ter of Rumor. with her own complement
of scenery, a production within a produc-
ton. Mr.. Mansfield restores the opening |
scene from Shakespeare, that between /
the Archbishop of Canterbury and the |
Bishop of Ely He restores the comedy /
scenes of Nym. Bsrdolph. Pistol and |
Dame Quickly to their original sequence |
and form. These are the main distinc- |
lions between his acting version and |
those used by Macready, Kean. and |
Phelps, except that many of the finest |
lines of King Henry's speeches were |
3ropped by these players. but Mansfield |
has, in large part, restored them.
