The third play by the Macphersons,
as Mr.. and Mrs. Jean du Rocher call
themselves. to be seen In this city was
presented at the Shubert Theatre last
night by Arthur Hopkins. Although
none Of the plays OF these two authors
hitherto seen here was altogether satis-
factory. there was promise in both OF
them. Evidence" had qualities which
under different circumstance might
have carried Il to some success. In "a
King OF Nowhere" Lou Tellcgen found
the best medium Of display for his
exotic talents In English. So there was
genuine curiosity to see the new play
last night.
Then there was the recommendation
that Il had been selected BY Arthur
Hopkins. Mr.. Hopkins Is ono OF the
younger generation of theatre managers
who mas shown himself most subject 20
the newer and artistic influences In the
theatre. He ~as indeed called not many
months ago the white hope" For de.
tect!ng the charm OF Elinor Gates's The

and originality Of Elmer Reisenstein':

II seemed at this point curious to thin
that an American manager who probabl

There were various episodes acted on
a platform suddenly showed into view To
show the dwellers In The Hereafter
how their relatives acted after their
departure. The device Vas too me-
chanical to be interesting after the FIRST
showing. But 1t did give the specta-
tors something tangible to view. That
at least was comprehensive. The rest
was the most complicated mixture of
commonplace and confusion that the
New York public has been asked TO enjoy
In many "A day.
care had been wasted on the prepare
ton of this hopeless piece. Mr.. Hopkins
had don. his duty to the fullest extent.
So I, is to be regretted that there seems
so little vitality In the whole parade o.
impenetrable symbolism and confusing
dulness Mr.. Haile's score too should
have been dedicated to a better cause.
There were a great many actors In the
numerous scenes. Florence lie tlercque.

scenes in THE Blue Bird" In which the
" Grant youngsters visit their grand
parents and find them doing just what
they had been happy in during their life
time.
Thu Macphersons had been In their
cooperation at least original enough to
bring the subject Of tho Belgian play
down TO the day. So. among the happy
souls that wandered into this middle
world Of peace there were French and
German victims Of Verdun. actors who
at last had good parts to play. attorneys
free from the routine Of their Office and
grandparents who could watch their
descendants and ~disapprove OF the pres
ent method OF rearing them. There were
children always present to accentuate
against Mr.. Jones's backgrounds the
happiness In that unorthOdox and mid
die world that first received those who
depart from this vale Of tears.
Robert Jones had provided soine strlk-
ing and artistic backgrounds for the first
scenes. In which the characters wandered
around In the correct mood OF Macter-
linckian abstraction In the manner OF
Me>tsdnde and the Princess Mdieinc.
When the spirit Of the piece became more
transcendental the painter had banks Of
daisies and asphodel on which the bodies
OF the weary could incline. He even at
tempted with some success the depletion
OF space, with the western hemisphere
outlined against a background of myriads
Of stars. Eugene Haile's score was mu-
steal. melodious and In a high degree
illustrative Of the mood Of every scene.
II was the work OF a true musician.
But the manner in which the Macpher-
son material was presented to the pub
lie did not avail. The scenes varied from
such incomprehensible nonsense Az the
episode described as "1n Space which
was a farrago OF the most hopeless
id!o,y. In which a boy with IA wireless
telephone called on the stars and read
their answers. dow to the watery senti-
mentality of the scenes in THE Here
after" There was "a queen who did the
honors in this celestial realm quite after
tacle.
It was really impossible to tell what II
was all about. a curly haired younl
man In tango shoes sat at one corner Of
the stage and played on a mythical in
strument which was supposed to blow
sin out OF the world. At the other side
OF the stage there was an old man seem
ingly intent on the same task. 4 lad ir
the half heaven OF the second act re
fused to speak to his father because he
had put up a tombstone to him. Per-
children talked in nasal tones ABOUT al
sorts OF subjects and one unfortunate
actress sat all during these proceeding
In the centre of the stage with her back
to the audience expertly lodging thu
drop curtain whenever II fell. There
was something Ike a thrill OF genuine
excitement when a body Of soldiers sud
denly cut on In battle was welcomed b,
the children-who were most nasal II
their vocal outpourings-and the rest OF
