Richmond's theatcr patrons will bid
a temporary farewell this week to D-
rector Berthelet and his BiJou players.
who have provided this city with the
best stock performances seen here In
years. The farewell production is TO
be made a notable one. for Director
Berthelet has selected THE Devil" the
famous Hungarian comedy. for the
closing offering, and is making every
effort to insure it's productions eclips
Ing anything he has yet offered here.
1t is OF particular interest to local
patrons OF the theater to learn Of the
romance suggested by the presenta-
ton Of The Devil here. Director
Berthelet and Miss Ball were in the
original Savage Company, and there
met for the first time. When tho com
pany started on tour. they we're the
honeymooners OF the organization.
Both Mr.. Berthelet and his wife will
appear In their original roles in the
forthcoming production Of The Devil"
The Devil is a psychological ga
tire OF the school OF Ibsen and Shaw.
The devil Is presented s man OF the
world, a dominating, powerful pres
ence. who sweeps aside most Of his
opposition. Only the high minded and
pure Elsa is successful In opposing
him. His career Is one OF evil; he In
stills poison into the lives of two peo-
pie. into whose presence he has in
situated himself, and carries them for
ward to a great catastrophe. The sub
tie sophistries. the nalevolent cunning
Of his devilish reasoning betoken the
cleverness OF the dramatist.
But II is in the treatment rather
than in the story OF his play that
Franz Molnar has won distinction and
fortune. Its dialogue bristles with
singing sarcasm, and caustic wit: the
COMEDY is simple and entertaining; but
comes suddenly a lire Of rapierl!ke
sharpness. which drives home some
thought to show that sin is nnipotent
and that the slightest yielding TO the
wh:sperings of the devil may result In
undoing.
Edward Arnold has been assigned
the role OF the devil a part that Will
