drama catches up the audience at the
very start. and they follow 1t with ab-
sorbed attention, apparently not bothering
In the least that it is the picture of a
strike they are thrilling TO. while the in
dividuals come and go, watched in one
act, forgotten in the next. Each act is
n separate episode, or genre picture, and
they hang together and progress be-
cause each gives us, from a different
angle, the tale of the rising tide of in
dustrial revolt. Nobody can see THE
Weavers' without at least vague sense
that the stage can do some things of
great nobility and power which, at pres
ent, II all too seldom attempts.
The best acting in the production was
possibly furnished by Adolph Link, from
the Irving Place German Theatre. He
played Old Baumert, one of the few char
acters who appear in all the acts, and he
played ii with great vividness and power
-vividness in the passages OF humorous
senillty and complaint, power in the out
breaks OF passion. When In act two the
soldier sings the strikers song, and Old
Baumert listens. repeating the revolution
airy sentiments and pounding the table
with approval letting off the steam of 20
years OF poverty and oppression, Herr
Link was a picture not to be forgotten.
And his English is perfect.

Sir-May I intrude my views on the

1t is q sign of most grave and disturb
