New-York tribune., 1919-04-13
By Ralph Block

"The Jest" as it is acted and pro
duced at the Plymouth Theatre, is
drama. ard more than drama. 1t is,
in tho whole of it, in the beaten out
sound Of it and the procession Of color
and souls. play in the older sense.
II Is a recapturng Of what is rare and
evauescent at best, great illusion, a
full and complete evocation of the
mists that hang dreary curtainwise at
the back OF mems minds.
But it is more than that. 1t is the
fantastic other side Of the real, more
than struggle between men, more
than tale whispered out Of windy
nights To label it by any name is to
mistake 1T, not to be aware of the
sweep Of it, the music cunningiy hidden
IN it, the patterns devised for it, and
the silent accumulation of all these
effects in an overpowcring final
strangenoss. 1t is more richly work
Of art than anything seen in the theatre
here in many years, and as such it is
- ~NA'NN' N'AiittAit iiliE VI imaginative
and emotional infections Pity, hate,
irony. beauty, laughter, grotcsquerie,
fury, strength and weakness these arc
the threads Of its texture, woven, at
most in such n refinement of outer and
inner design as to create at moments
more than desirable complcxity.
The idiom Of the bare romantic
drama is hero far transcribed. The
reason for this superiority does not lie
alone in the play, which seemingly
could on occasion lend itself to mere
romance II lies much more in the
playing, that penctratcs so deeply into
the mysteries Of human motive and
reaction as to give the play a power
and compul8ion all out OF proportion
10 it's solitary worth. The full produc-
sion leaves behind the limitation of
drama, and takes on II greater sengn-
BUSINESS, moro spectacular and pro-
cessional viyidncss. At no moment
does it shed the present sense that it
is an illusion, as simpler realism
tries it's hardest to do, yet aided by the
rhythm of movement and by the evoca-
zion OF character before the eyes, such
as occurs in the pantomime of ballet
1t grows to a point where the illusion,
still as illusion, acquires an almost
hypnotic power of attraction.
THE Jest" is in many ways the kind
Of spectacle that was bound to emerge
IN time from revised understanding
of the uses of the stage in the light of
all the past and all the present. By
his position in the commercial theatre
Arthur Hopkins has had the opportu-
nifty of Illuminating some of the fail
ures Of the art theatre. 1t is doubtful
If any organization devoting itself out
OF pure altruism to the theatre would
have been able to gather at one time
AZ the intelligence and vigor of imagi
nation which has gone into this new pro-
duction. 1t is not merely a matter of
payment for service There is every
certainty that the sheer enjoyment of
creative production means more to the
Barrymores and Robert Jones and to
Arthur Hopkins himself than any ma
terial reward to be got from it.
But there is a tangible weight about
the theatre on Broadway, flavor of
actuality, an air Of being centred in

CLAUS-I swear it, Mr.. Burgo-

the fact is that all this is very i'm

CLAUS - You, Mr.. Burgomaster ?
Why? You've done nothing! It's i'm

THE BURGOMASTER-Yes, they do,
my dear Claus! It's what they did al
Aerschot, what they've done every

az we'll. Otto himself told me that
nothing could prevent it.
CLAUS-lt can't be possible, Mr..
Burgomaster; it would be too unjust!
We shall find the man who did
it, or the man himself, when he hears,
will feel ashamed and give himself up.
Or else you will be able to es-
cape; Mr.. Otto will help you. Some
thing will happen. l am sure God will
not permit.
THE BURGOMASTER- permits
, plenty of other things, my poor Claus.
He is permitting everything to-day.
The only thing that will happen is my
death; and we may think ourselves
lucky if nothing worse happens. You
know, as | do, that escape is quite i'm
possible. Otto might try and help me,
as last resort, but then he would be
shot in my place; and that would not
be fair, either.
In the end the Burgomastcr refuses
to Wild up to the German authorities
an innocent man and pays the forfeit
with his life.

CHRONICLE AND COMMENT OF THE
A Neav Lesson for The Art
Theatre in S'7he ./esf''

the world of men and things, that, with
every fault, proves a powerful force
behind the attention Of potential audi
ences which the theatre in the abstrac
cannot afford to ignore "Redemption'
was one proof of it, and doubtless
The Jest profiting further by the nc.
cumulated prestige of what went be-
tore 1t, will be another. Here is every
thing the art theatre demands and. so
lar as the acting is concerned, more.
But the important increment that is
/ added is the sense of vigor enforcing
beauty, away from the suspicion of
experiment, of thinness, and the anna
teur hat the art theatre as we have
known it is seldom without.
Without the Barrymores this spec
tacc of feudal Italy would lose con-
siderable part Of it's fascination. In
effect it seems to be the kind of play
which is open to limitless exploita-
ton, possessing kind of elasticity
that allows 1T to expand for as much
genius as can be put into it or to con-
tract gracefully to the minimum of
content without losing charm or inter
est. In this sense doubtless it is ro-
mantle drama, of kind that has often
passed before lighted eyes on the
boards Of the Thalia Theatre on the
Bowery 1t is marked by beauty in
diction, more than enough to survive
translation and transposition, wealth
OF imagery and episode and a dynamic
accumulation Of action.
What tho two chief actors contribute
is an energy of characterization and II
delicacy and precision and nucncy Of
expression that is contained only in
great acting. II is common phrasc
among those who have sccn the early
performances that tho easier part is
Lionel Barrymorc's acting the brawl-
ing, husky mercenary who has in years
OF torment drawn down the finely
drawn vengeance that at last holds and
destroys him.
But this is true only from the stand
point of the most superficial compari-
son. The part of the avenger, as it is
done by John Barrymore, is marvel
lous portrait, etched in bitingly under
the greatest strain. But it is, after
all, part in which the effort is en-
tlrely positive, the merit of which lies
in the amplitude and fneness of the
soul portrayed and the adequacy of the
portrayal. There is no question here
of restraint; it is rather question
of suficiency, the actors own hope
that he will have that more than
enough which is only enough.
1t is true that the part of the great,
hulking mercenary has something he
rolc about it, a magnetism that is
almost inevitable, but this is a danger
IS we'll as an advantage. What OBJ
servers have not regarded is that while
the effect must be crude, broad, one Of
sprawling immensity and power, only
the keenest deliberaton in the actors
imagination will keep this immensity
from defeating itself, from becoming
so generous and prodigal as to lapse
into carcature and inhuman gro
tesQuerie. There is no moment in "The
Jest at which the british Neri does
not live as man, implying great re-
serves of common humanity--not only
greed and fury but desire and even
love-behind the assured countenance
he turns on friends and enemies alike.

tions as an accomplished fact be-
came open to doubt for the first
time today, when Leon Bourgeois,
one of the French representatives
of the commission on a society Of
nations, proposed an amendment
creating an international military
force as a means of enforcing the
decisions of the league.
This came after the commission
had virtually completed work and
was considering the project for
final adoption. Besides introduc-
ing the rather formidable question
of backing up the league by an
armed international force, M.
Bourgeois amendment also
creates some apprehension that re-
naming issues may not be adjust

adoption by a plenary session of

ator Sears bill making it crii1li-

parent, guardian or persons espe-
cially authorized by the parent to
give information of a sexual nature
or relating to the so-called social
diseases to children under 10 years

committed to the committee on edu-

Senator Sears may attempt to re-
vive the measure by attempting to
overthrow the report of the com
mittee, but it is doubtful if he can
