Thief" are everywhere undoubted and
of the most pronounced character. NO
student Of the theater. no discrimi-
mating playgoer, can gainsay superior
| ity of Henry Bernstein, its author, over
| his contemporaries. In "The Thlef

and originality and mastery tech
nique that are without parallel in the
present day theater. His few charac-
ters in 1.-THE Thief" are constantly en-
ployed in developing the most absorb
| ing of plots with never an unnecessary

thors could successfully devise sec

pear and hold the stage continuously,

binary dramaturgy of this playwright.
