that Of Fay Marbc, the audience which
saw its premiere last night at the
Shubert Theater would have come
away indeed enchanted.
rms romantic musical play with n
deep. laid plot. was the first production
OF Max r. Wilmer and Sigmund Rom
berg as n firm and the music was
written by the second partner, the
composer Of "Maytime" The book and
lyrics were the work of Freder rio
Arnold Hummer.
The story started in a Scilian fishing
village, giving fine opportunity for a
picturesque setting and striking cos
tunes for remarkably pretty chorus.
twenty years elapsed between this pro-
ioguc and Oct /, and it seemed to MANY
that almost that much time passed be-
tween these two curtains. The act in q
Russian princes Partisan palace gave
another excuse for the agile Willy
Pogany to win gasps Of admiration for
ms wonderful costumes and scenery
while Act II, in sunken garden at
Versailles, was perhaps the most ar
tlstlc thing of all, though rot the most
spectacular.
There was not the slightest hesita-
ton in intcrrupting the ultra dramatic
plot to sandwich in entirely irrelevant
songs, dances and comedy scenes, and
the story, which started with dire
vow of vendetta, ended in soft-soap
forgivcncss-as sudden as it was in
congrucus.
Charles Prevln, very young and
energetic conductor, led fine or
chestra of thirty-threc pieces literally
with his hair, and proved himself an
actor Of a sort as we'll He really was
amusing and will not be forgotten.
Charles Purcell, called il at short
notice to brace UP the heroic role

Dean, that experienced PLAYER Of the
serious dramatic stage, who lent dig
nifty and sympathy to role which, in
less finished hands, might easily have
verged upon absurdty.
None of the mus c is bad and most
of it is pleasing, but no more than the
basic AIR will be remembered. That is

PASSION Is intensified by an extraordi-
nary simplicity and austerity Of mood
even by the sharp and bitter irony
with which Irish character reflects on
Nself. The play rises into fine mo-
mcnts of poetic and symboical signif
cance that rever even skirts the pit.
TAU OF sentimentality, which turks in
the offering of every American drama
of the Irish.
"Thc Lost Leader" deals in extraor-
d'nary fashion with the figure OF
Charles Stewart ParneIl, not as the
magnificent figure of the early nineties
break, but as legendary figure re-
turned by an almost incredibly roman
tic chance from shadowy ,orderland
to lead his people through the hour Of
their present trials. The basis of the
play Is the whispered legend that
farnell did not really die, but that
he lived on somewhere in retirement
bldlng his time to strike another blow
The play opens in an inn in q re-
mote mountain district. A sharp young
London journalist, an Eng ish sports
man and a physician who has special
lzed in abnormal psychology arc all the
who. with his niece, Mary, tho
Keeper OF the inn, is a strange and
silent Old man. There is about him q
smouidar.ng quality that captures the
imagination of the physician. Over the
ire AZ the end OF a days sport the
guests fall into a discussion of hyp-
notism, and the physician consents to
try nn experiment. Lucius Lennihan
drawns near to observe it and is caught
up in the hypnosis. In an extremely skill
ful scene the old man reveals under
hypnotic influence thai he is Parnel.
In the second act the announcement
that Parneli has reappeared, that a
.eader mas been found to coordinate al
the confused aspirations of ireland,
brings on. the figures IN whom the waG-
ring factions Of Ireland are represent
ed. The young Sim Eeiner the inde-
cisive United lrishman. the Home
Ruler, all the nationalistic aspirations
embodied in ironically homeiy figures,
are ranged before Parnell. and, though
they are sore put to it, they are un-
willing to acknowledge man resur-
rected from the dead. Only wander
ing ballad-singer, blind, haif-mad
figure, knows MS beloved leader at
once.
The last oct is perhaps the least e.
tectlve Dramatically. but it is enor-
nously Interesting in the dscussio
that IT presents OF all the conflicting 2
Impulses OF national aspiration, and the
play culmlnates in u moment of igh
dramatic intensity in which Parnell is
destroyed by the ones who have loved
him the most.
Here is q play Of real imagination
and fire, by no means perfectly exc
euted. but with moments of great power
and with flashes Of real poetic insight.
Frank Conroy gave superb realization
to the figure OF Parnell. 1t was warm
and liv.n. and powerful. and it caught
and held the imagination, quite the
finest thing that Mr.. Conroy ha. ever
