"The New ShylOck" Given Tn

Bargain"
MISS CALVERT AS STAR
..rbe p.rxs,n.-At the Comedy Theatre.

Herman Shefrauer wrote THE Bar
gain" which was acted last night at the
Comedy Theatre. lie was hitherto un-
known rs a playwright. although he is
n writer Of short stories and at present
n war correspondent. Experience In the
latter field ought to be OF value to any
young dramatist. not necessarily to add
vcrisimilitude TO his war plays. but Tor
its strategic training. Mr.. Shenaucr,
who wrote his play in New YORK, strus-
glcd to have it acted here. bu that was
before his experience AZ IA war CORE
s%pondent. In England he was more sue
c~essfui, for Miss Iiorniman accepted
the play and II was acted at the Gaiety
Theatre In Manchester by her
Then she brought II up to London. where
II was played with Louis calvert In the
same role he gave here last night. II
is said that the play was prosperous IN
London.
The play. which was called IN Lon
don THE New Shylock." has It's scenes
on the lower Eas: side of New York.
The three acts pass IN the home and In
the pawnshop OF Simon Luskin. who is
the new Shy'ock. more because he re-
sembles the accepted type OF ihe jew
that Shakespeare drew than for the
other suggestion Of resemblance in their
lives. This Jew is modern in feeling
pretending to accep: many unortho"oN
ideas. but In reality is a slave 20 the
traditions and ~prejudices OF his race.
So the betrayal OF his daughter by a
Gentle makes IT bitterly difficult for
him to depart from his faith and enable
he two to find happiness in the only
way possible 10 them. But eventually
his natura, fneness Of character trt-
umphs over the influences of race and
creed and he puts aside his prejudice
against the race Of his daughters nus
band.

Admirable Acting Throughout.

The .iuberts had s-lected an admira-
bile group of actors for the play. There
was no possible fault 10 hc found with
the manner in which Mr.. Schefauer's
scenes were played, IN fact the per-
forinance was uncolnrnonly distinguished,
Louis Calvert possessed every qualitS
to make this East Side Shyi0Ck AN i'm.
pressivc and dominating figure, except
ing one, Had he impaired the least
tenderness of heart to his struggles with
his relrcllious family there would have
been an additional interest in all his
scenes. As IL was he was coldly perfect
from an artistic point of view in his
carefully studied acting.
Dorothy Donnelly gave a fine glow Of
Dr!entalism to the scene, which proved
Of value to the play, since she suggested
so warmly n g~.owingly the nature
which was supposed to lie back Of the
sordid view Of this life which the play
affords, Miss Donnelly was the neglected
second wife, and her return to the hus-
band whom she had left for the theatre
was played with naturalness.

second act was of absorbing interest
unt.l the son's confession Of his crime

the audience back to realities, with
drcary commonplaceness. The interview
between the two fathers in the third
act, one seeking financial reimbursement
and the other the restoration of his fam
lily honor, was well coutr!ved and in
teresting.
There Is OF course the ~indisputable
fact that the identical thing has been
better done In the past. The scene Of
Israel IanGwills "Chilhren Of the
Ghetto" was laid in London. But the
problem was the same In the comedy
Theatre The Melting Pot" by Mr.
Zangwill, was a variation on the same
theme. So Mr.. SchefAuer's play
