In presenting their second bill OF the
season at the Little Thcater last night, the
Washington Square Players wandered from
farclcal Russia 70 fantastic Britain. and
from mystical Belgium TO fifteenth century
France. The journey was quite worth the
geographical strides entailed II the players
at no time suggested titanic artistic worth,
or anything out Of the common in comedy.
they did succeed In amusing their audience.
and In one of their presentations--that OF
Maurice Maeterlinck's touching and tender

and such neglected work in Philadelphia.

Miss Matthew, who in "a Roadhouse in
Arden" had previously painted a simmer

The evening ended with a capable and
brisk production OF pierre Patelin," in
which the radical scenery Of the players
favorite sort was deftly evident For some
unaccountable reason, Tchekhov's clumsy
and inane farce, "A Bear" was included
in the proceedings That was not very
sensible or entertaining thing to do, but 1t
gave the striking Miss Deem and the tower
ing Mr.. Meredith an opportunity for a
deafening vocal display. The "insciene
rung' carried out a vivid plan of orange
and blues nicely. Considering that there
were four sets to be put up and struck. -
the waits were not OF nerve-racking length.
II for no other reason, the Players ought
to be thanked for that. Unlike some Of
their contemporaries, they apparently be-
