In our first night review Of "The
Jest we were not quite just to Lionel
Barrymore. We spoke of his exceed
ingly effective work, but made the
reservation that it was a comparatively
easy role That IL not quite true.
After seeing the play a second time VIC
noticed that Barrymore brought one
enormously important quality to the
play Ner, the Lionel Barrymore part,
is drawn as d brute of the lowest order,
the very abysmal brute about whom
Jack London used to write. Now, four
acts of sheer brutality would get on the
nerves of any audience If there were
not some saving grace. Lionel Barry
more brings this. He saves the char
acter and makes him effective by play
ing the part with broad undcrcur-
rent of humor. We come to realize
that when Ncri kills some one it is not
from mere codbloodedness, but partly
because he has rather liberal ideas
about practical jokes.
Probably, Ncri carries the sympathy
OF most of those in the audience, even
when he is staggering at his worst.
The sympathetic strain is necessary in
The Jest" The one thing which COM
promised in any degree our pleasure
at watching the play was the fact that
al times its cruelty was almost too
heavy to be borne. In the dungeon
scene, for instance. where the one
brother threatens to strike the other,
bound, with a whip, we almost wanted
to cry out against it all. We were glad
when he refrained.
The spirit of the play is singularly
kin to Poe's "Cask OF Amontillado." !"
The interesting motive throughout is
the revenge of a calculating man. The
play is, of course, among the leading
factors in local theatrical movement
which may indicate a widespread ro-
mantle Renaissance. The Jest" is a
leader not only in its substance. bat in
setting and in acting, and yet it lacks
one excellent quality. of romance. 1t
lacks the lift which comes in those
plays in which the author has taken
advantage OF his romantic license tc
make one or two of his characters q
little finer than any of the people we
meet in the subways or the crosstowr
cars.
f. P. A. is practically correct il
speaking Of "The Jest" as verse play
Most of "the co!orful prose" of which
we spoke is blank verse, and very goot
blank verse. The play is not vers.
throughout, but most Of the lon,
speeches scan. We may be pardone,
for not knowing verse when we hearc
it because of the fact that good man,
of the players had no idea that the,
were speaking verse.
We are not at all certain that this i
not one of the chief reasons for tn,
success of the play. All too often gooc
verse plays have been spoiled by tn,
Tact tnat players were overconsciou
