Rendition of Shakespeare's S
Moor Marks Versatility of
Robert ManteII

With the remembrance of king
John" still fresh in the minds of some
in the audience at the Cort last night
Robert Manteil, figuratively speaking
performed histronic feat by turning
himself inside out last night and play
ing OthelIo. The wide difference be-
tween the two characters. yet the able
portrayal OF both made it dificult to
believe Robert Mantell was the same
actor who played both of them. Dis
Deiief being routed. wonder took its
place. Wonder at the versatility of
the actor.
There have been many Othellos.
some great, some near great and some
mediocre, but one is inclined to cata-
iogue Mr. Mantelrs rendition of
shakespeare's Moor in the first divi-
sion.
From his first entrance Mr.. Mantell
impressed his audience with the quiet
effectiveness of his acting.
In the scene before the council of
Venice the sincerity of his plea was
impressive through its lack Of bonn
bast. There was none of the noisy re-
monstrance that many actors deem
essential to true portraiture Of the
Moor. As Mr.. Mantell plays him, the
tenderness of his appeal holds you In
strong grip, and the soothing elo-
quence Of his speech wins a sympathy
that best finds expression in attentive
silence.
Then as climax to all that went
before was the grief that swept over
him on learning of Desdemona's $ inno-
cence and lagos villainy. 1t was ma
Jestic where in his helplessness he
cries. but, oh vain boast, Who can
control his fater'
Iago as played by Fritz Leiber was
splendid, particularly in the solilo-
quies, as he plots the downfall of the
Moor.
Miss Genevieve Hamper invested
the role of Desdemona with a kind of
spiritual beauty and charm. Her eIo-
cution is little weak in scenes of
emotional stress, but this was more
than made up for by the sweetness
and simplicity of her acting in the
other scenes.
John Burke gave very satisfactory
rendition Of Cassie and Miss That's
Lawton as Emilia had little to do
until the final act, where she defends
the chastity of Desdemona She
proved equal to an exacting scene
