full effect is easy to determine from the
action Of the audience, which laughed
with much glee at the comedy of the

ears the actions and words Of Rachel
Rebekah, Jacob Leah and Laban. The
play tells In a dramatic way the tale that
is outlined in the Old Testament. detail
ing how Esau sold his birthright for
mess OF pottage, and strongly contrasting
the characters Of the brothers. Esau is a
rough and tumble. good-for- nothing sort
Of a fellow, with ready laugh and a
CHEEKY word, who doesn't seem to take
to heart much the fact that his younger
brother has diddled him out of his rights
as the elder. while Jacob Is an ascetic,
colorless sort OF an individual, with an
eve for the main chance and a deeply re-
ligious cast, who looks on his brother $
conduct as almost criminally sacrilegious'
even though he Is the chief beneficiary
OF Esau's carelessness. Both Of these
characters are well drawn by Messrs.
Gllckman and Mr. Schneir. Miss Clara

work, and Miss Eva Katz, as Bosmas, a
