One of the Horrors of War

it will give early and serious attention to the
husky young men who apparently are so
easily found in large numbers TO cry out

The Wisconsin Players Now
at the Neighborhood
Playhouse
By Ralph Block

The Wisconsin Players, whose sue
cess in the West in the more precious
kind Of drama has been Of sufficient
calibrc to encourage them to dare the
pilgrimage to Mecca, began brief sea
SON at the Neighborhood Playhouse, in
Grand Street, Saturday night. New York
has had its own native efforts to bring
a greater subtlety and a more refresh
ing atmosphere into the theatre ou'
the strange delusion that the stage IS
proper field for poetry and Tor deli
cate shading In the treatment OF ideas
has persisted as extensively and with
as equal vigor in the West as 1t mas
in New York. despite the prcponderant
influence here OF Greenwich Village.
The kind Of playhouse which takes It's
name from t<dimensions has taken
root by the side OF the film theatre In
the large region that stretches away
from the Atlantic. and works by foreign
dramatic authors have made their entry
into America without once stopping aI
Ellis Island or its vicinity.
With so prolonged career BEHIND
them in a territory that appears. as
one observer has remarked, 10 take
its art so much more seriously tnah
New York. it became . matter OF sur
prise Saturday night that the Wisconl,,
Sin Players play so surprisingly wei
the game of the Legitimate theatre ana
fail SO pointedly when they enter the
vague shadows of poetry. The most
bracirg bit of the first programme OF
four short plays. to be repeated week
from Wednesday and the two following
SUNDAYS. was "Neighbors, by iona Gale,
n piece which outdoes the professional
Pollyanna dramatists in its capacity
for being kindly and amusing with
out disturbing the fidelity OF its repro
duetion of rural life. The acting was
excellent and sufficiently unprofesslon-
al 70 achieve the illusion of life that
the sharp edges of the trained actor are
always successful in keeping at arm S
length. "Neighbors" has been in print
IonS enough TO have found its way TO
New York before this. II is light IN

humor, which gains IN IT'S stage preseh-

much may not be said. "On the PIER

Of two young folk in New York and
their ability to find comfort and re-

Ahich the audience appeared to nave
been sufficiently persuaded to concur
without hesitation. "The Shadow by
Howard Mumford Jones, is more pre-
tentious piece in the style of Stuart
Walkers "Thc Trimplet," scenicslly
well put up, but scarcely vital enough
as dramatic poetry to be Ineligible
on the spoken stage. As far as ! was
able to make out. after doggedly apply
ing myself to the matter, THE Sha-
dow" deals with the notion that Truth
is q shadow which forever menaces our
all too human illusions.
Carlos Among the Candles" by
Wallace Stevens. Is another indication
Of how fine a line may separate the
false from the true. II Is by itself a
not unnteresting experiment in at
mospheres,, a game OF hide and seek
among the shadows Of thought, pur-
suit Of elusive visions of unreality
that the hand never closes on. In
FLAVOR it is not unlike a combination OF
Gertrude Stems "In Department
Store" and Henry James's story, "The
Altar Of the Dead" with leaning in
execution toward the less successful
futurist Of the two. Miss Stein. Car
los. who Is funkey, enters a dark
room and lights several candles. deliv-
ering himself in a passionately dreamy
style of his ideas on the subject during
the operation. Ne then blows out what
candles have not of themselves given
way to an electric fan in the wings, and
retires by window. probably, as he
infers, to seek a moonbeam.
The process of this kind Of enter
tainment. in analysis, appears TO be
TO say something that has no meaning
at all with all the bearing of signif-
canoe. recalling what Alice said to
was It the DUCHESS about the sound
and not the sense being most impor-
tant. And yet there appears just
enough method in the entire madness
Of the piece to make me believe that
with real poetry behind it-such sue
cessfully mystic poetry. perhaps, as
Emerson's "Brahma" or Swinburne's
"Hertha'-it would Weld an entire
new cron of sensations for the mini
ature stage.

Fielding Powell is bad artist, who
