Z IT IS almost time to look back over the
i theatrical season for an estimate OF
what the year has brought Philadelphia,
and what part the war has played In It.
while the proximity Of two new produc-
tlons holds off that estimate n little, we
may consider something the war did not
! bring us In the last week. And that Is
the best work of which the Rudolph
Christians German company is capable.
Last night Irving Place players from
New York showed how admirably they
can handle comedy, even the very NOR
dant comedy OF "F'lachsmann ais Erzie-
her; today they take a fling ut farce, In
s which they will doubtless be as admirable.
But the presumed war interests OF their
audiences here have kept them busy for
six OF their eight performances with
musical comedy about German patriotism.
Consequently Philadelphia has got no true
measure of the admirable repertory and
the scenic as well as the acting dlstinc-
tons OF Rudolph Christians company.
We might have seen the great German
classics. beginning with "Faust' We
might have observed how much better
these people produce Shaw's "Pygmalion"
than did Mrs. Patrick Campbell We
might have had such "A fine sample OF
modern critical drama as Schnitzler's
comment on his other profession--me
cine-"Professor Bernhard" And we
might have seen settings by such distin-
guisned German practitioners of the new
stagecraft as Ernst Stern, who made the
designs for "Sumurun."
At any rate. we may look forward to n
longer visit next season, with all the best
that Mr. Christians and his workers have
to show.
