roy is using has been made by Gran
Vile Barker, and the music is the
work Of w. FRANKIE Harling, the mu-
sical director of the theatre. Mr.. Har-
ling will be remembered for the ex-
quisite music he wrote for "Behind a
Watteau Picture" which opened the
season at the theatre.
Mr.. Conroy believes that the art
theatre should, as far as possible, pre-
sent plays in season, as the Greenwich
Village Theatre produced "The Chester
Mysteries" last Christmas. Now with
the first fresh tidings of spring will
come this play of the great god Pan,
Of shepherds and country wenches, of
joyous wood nymphs and grassy knolls.
The cast will include Frank Conroy,
Fania Marinoff, Sydney Carlyle, Mar
garet Fareleigh, Joseph Macaulay,
Grace Henderson, Harold Meltzer,
Helen Robbins, Edwin Strawbridge,
Mary Pyne and others.
The settings for all seven scenes
were designed and executed by Roy

A Nelv Player From
Paris to Appear at
Vieux Colombier

On Tuesday evening, at the Theatre
du Vieux Colombier, Jacques Copeau
announces the premiere of "L'Avare,' ,
by Moliere, prose comedy in five acts
The role of Harpagon, the central fig
ure in the drama, will be played by
Charles Dublin.
Harpagon belongs to a small cate
CORY of tragic figures in the modern
drama, and the action, as we'll as the
other characters in the play, centres
about him. Although the plot is care
lessly put together and there is more
than the usual amount of borrowing
from the classic authors, the play
has simplicity and grandeur.
Charles Dublin, who arrived from
Paris last week to assume the role of
Harpagon, left the trenches to reiojn
the Theatre du Vieux Colombier. He
made his debut at the Theatre Odeon
IN Paris some years ago, afterward ap-
pearlng at the Theatre des Arts. He
was one of the first to join the Theatre
du Vieux Colombier and created many
OF the leading roles in its repertoire.
For the last three years he has been
a soldier of France, participating in
all the great offensives.
LIE Carosse du Saint Sacrement." bv
Merlmee, will be given with "L'Avare. "
"L'Avare" and 'Le Carosse du Saint
Sacrement' will be repeated Thurs
day and Saturday, matinee and even
ing. Monday and Wednesday evening
La Petite Marquise" and "L'Amour
Medecin" will be presented while on

zov'' will be presented for the last time

an English play in three acts and was
written after the authors personal OBJ
servations on a recent trip to London,
where the action of the piece takes
place. 1t was staged under the per-
sonal direction Of Mr. Harcourt.
"a Pair of Petticoats" concerns the
love trials and trbulations of a young
English nurse who has returned to
London on short furlough. While
there she meets former friend of the
trenches, who is also at home, recover
ing from an attack Of enemy gas. AS
the setting is perfect for proposal the
injured soldier pops the question and
IS accepted, but shortly after he leaves
his tiancec another woman appears
on the scene, who unfolds an alarm
ing tale Of his past record. The con-
valescent starts for America to forget
his troubles, and when he is supposed
to be half way over his sweetheart
learns Of the other woman's mistake in
his identity. Just as life seems black
and empty, Sir Rupert, friend of the
family, steps in and saves the day.
In addition to Mr.. Harcourt, who
also has a place in the cast, the com
pany includes Norman Trevor, Laura
Hope Crews, Maude Hanaford, George
Gddens, Ray Gordon, Byron Russell,
Henry Travers and Leonard Nude.
The third bill of the season at the
Greenwich Village Theatre will be pre-
sented On Monday evening. The play
is a pastoral comedy in two acts and
seven scenes, called "Pan and the
Young Shepherd" by Maurice Hewlett,
the English novelist. Hewlett is not
we'll known as a playwright. His "Pan
and the Young Shepherd" has never
been given before in America; in fact,
it is not known to have been played
anywhere. The revised acting version

CHRONICLE AND COMMENT OF THE STAG
Copeau's Mission
Bringing the New Art of France
He Has Fought for the Classics
Against the Bad Modern Theatre
By Alexander Pierce

Jacques Copeau had no recondite
theories Of stagecraft or aesthetics to
expound, but plunged into matters re-
garding the past season that were up
permost in his mind. While not in the
least disappointed, he would not say
that he was completely satisfied, be-
cause it was no easy task to build up
a true appreciation Of French art in
the three months that he had been
among us. He deserves congratula-
tions for what he has accomplished
and sincere gratitude for his unsparing
labors and devotion.
1--WE have not reached all of the
people that we can reach in America"
he said. "The season was a bad one
for all of the theatres, but we were
especially handicapped by the reputa-
ton Of the French Theatre that pre-
ceded US here last year. 1 heard many
complaints about it when I was in New
York last year. People now say that
there is real French theatre here.
They say, in fact. that one of the best
theatres is French theatre. Many en-
thusiastic articles have been written
about our work. Critics have said that
nothing like it has been seen here be-
fore, and many private persons have
written similar things in letters that I
have been receiving every day"
Another serious disadvantage under
which Mr.. Copeau labored was that of
having to collect his company from the
army. He expected to work in Paris
for three months before coming to this
country, but his players were not re-
leased until week before they had to
sail. Everything had to be done after
the company arrived in this country.
The presentation of q total of forty
three acts in three months in New
York involved an amount Of work OF
which the layman can have little con-
ception. Mr. Copeau said that it had
been a terrible strain, but that there
was compensation in the basis that had
been laid for next season. 1t was not
UcCeSSdIy, uOWeVeA, 4O1 hI. CoPSou "
apologize for the quality of the per-
formances.
II cannot agree with a few of the
critics who expressed disapproval of
our classical repertory," Mr.. Copeau
continued. "'Les Fourberies de Scapin'
was not unimportant. 1t is of great
Importance historically, and it is very
great play of it's kind. AS first step
before the new public we had to give
something that appealed to the eye,
that was all motion and color, that was
of the theatre, and, as one critic said,
it was sheer theatre. The idea that
it was unworthy of Moliere is derived
from his contemporary, Boileau, a sys-
tematic but material and unimagina
tive critic. Because Les Fourberies de
Scapin' was Italian in origin we should
not scorn it. The origin of the whole
modern theatre is Italian. 1t is re-
vealed in Shakespeare and in Moliere,
even in L'Avare'
"The Americans are not ready to ap-
preciate beauty for itself, or the sub
tleties of psychology. What they want
arc ideas, realism, something they can
tell about. We have had many different
kinds Of audiences. Some of them were
very sponsivc. Some, on the other
hand, were very warm and sympathetic.
