THE THEAT E R.
National Theater.

The character which Louis Mann assumes
In his new play, THE Second Fiddle" is
not as abrupt a departure as some of the
admirers of his complex dialect feared 1t
would be. He is still the spasmodic and
explosive German, but in a new guise and
with surroundings of romance rather more
dignified than those he enjoyed as a mu-
steal comedian. His role Is that of the
dreamer to whom, after many disappoint-
| ments and much self-sacrifice, success
comes at last. The character claims little
consideration on the score of novelty, and
the treatment is effective mainly because it
serves to bring Mr.. Mann constantly to the
foreground in interest. Heroic musicians
whose compositions have been stolen from
them have been favorite subjects In fiction
for so long time that they are becoming
almost numerous on the library sheives
as they are in real life. Yet the unique per-
sonality of Mr.. Mann bestows on the char-
acter of Leopold Baron Won Walden
vitality which makes even his eccentr1citles
plausible AS MIR. Mann plays the part II
is a unique creation. 1t stands out IN con-
spicuous loneliness as well as In consplcu-
Gus merit. In fact, it may be said that the
more notable the merit of Mr.. Manns per-
Torrance becomes the lonelier he seems, as
surrounded by his present cast.
The lines in THE Second Fiddle contain
a great deal of sprightly sarcasm. When
Leopold is wholly downcast by his lack OF
success in placing his opera he suddenly
brightenS and eXClalmS- An, well, VIII
earn living by copying music. Anyhow,
that is the only way to be a real compo-
SER" The humor of the piece runs the
gamut from such subtle satire as TINS TO
the broadcast farce. And yet when Mr.. Mann
is spreading the lace and founces OF the
prima donna carefully on the floor in order
to kneel to her without damaging his own
attire he manages to keep it thoroughly
within the bounds of seeming probaoilty.
The whimsical genius he portrays is the
more lovable because of the frank SIM
plicity with which he lapSeS into what
would ordinarily seem unforgivable gauch-
cries.
One of the most interesting episodes of
the evening was curtain speech which Mr..
Mann essayed in response to the enthus-
astic demands of his audience. No doubt
there were many who found relief in the
convincing assurance which it afforded
that Mr. Mann under ordinary circum-
stances speaks the English tongue like ordi-
nary folk; that his dialect is an artistic
assumption and not personal affection.
1.-THE Second Fiddle" cannot be fully &C
cepted as a reliable expose of the artistic
intrigues which surround a European the
alter. The villain who tries to steal Leo
polds opera is as crude a bungler in
plagiarism as he is in lovemaking. But
the play serves genial and beneficent pur-
pose when 1t provides Mr.. Mann with
setting which displays him to advantage
not merely a farceur, but as a character
actor. In this latest role of his he succeeds
not merely in diverting but in awakening
warm sentimental interest.
