ment that raises the play above mere imi-
tation. Gordin was no Shakespeare, but
for once, in this play, he used another's
plot to make his own play.
The Devil, however, is cheated out of
Herschele's soul at the very moment of
apparent triumph. Despite the riches
heaped upon the scribe, and the business
career that threatens for a time to ruin
the holy Jews finer self, an accident in
Herschele's factory, in which the son of
friend is killed, awakens the former scribe
to sense of his own debasement. With
all the power that gold has brought him,
with all the domination over his friends
and fellowmen, it has taken away some
thing more precious-his joy in righteous
living. Believing himself beyond redemp-
tion, Herschele hangs himself, symbol
caly enough on his own safe, with the
blood-stained prayer shawl of the victim
Of the accident around his neck As the
Evil One is forced to confess: "Even the
power of money is limited, for though
through it man may be deceived, perverted,
mutilated in soul, yet he cannot be ruined
entirely" The piece stands out with par
ticular significance in the repertory of
reputed to love money above all other
things.
For the rest, Gordin's pieces cover wide
range of problems and themes, involving
filial duty, religious faith, racial weak
nesses, mixed marriages, and so on. His
great contribution to the Yiddish stage
lay in his bringing Of truth, character and
some art to replace the falsities of the
post Goldfaden school. Starting out not far
from the Goldfaden path he achieved a
personality of his own, despite the intru-
sion of the vaudeville element that had
to be endured for the sake of a public. He
was alive to his own shortcomings. II
want to say publicly" he wrote as early as
1897, "that the Yiddish theatre will never
be in a position to undergo normal de-
velopment as long as the intellectual Jews
continue to disregard problem so impor-
tant to the masses as the upbuilding of
literary, serious stage. The Yiddish theatre,
despite the hundreds of thousands who
form its audiences, cannot hope for the
arrival Of powerful, talented writer so
long as the majority of it's authors will be,
like me, men who take to dramatic writ
ingh through accident, who write pieces
only because they are forced to do so in
order to make living, and who, like me,
are isolated and see about them only igno-
rance, jealousy, rancor and enmity." The
words quite as good for Ammo Domini

later achieving Independent reputation,

position in the Yiddish drama. Through

A New Playground for.
''Manhattan's Human
Sparrows''
D. Dbl l.
By Pearl Spaulding

TAKES the ingenuity of a child TO
adapt circumstances to his own re-
II quirements and to invest the most
ordinary things of everyday life with
the magic of youthful imagination
And so the extraordinary interest which
the children particularly the boys) of the
Upper East Side are displaying in the miles
of grandstand seats that are being erected
on Fifth Avenue for New York's parade of
welcome for the 9th has transformed this
new playground into an object of romantic
import.
For many city blocks-all the straight
and narrow way from Fifty ninth to 10th
Street-stretch these countless graduated
rows of wooden seats Viewed through
childhood's visionary eyes, there is the
glamour Of romance in the bare, yellow
boards so soon to seat those who, with
happy, eager hearts, have Jared forth TO
meet their dear ones in the ranks.
And the small boy of Manhattan, with
out knowing exactly why, is irresstibly
drawn to the scene of the Homecoming
parade of the near future. All the way up
the Avenue of the Allies can daily be seen
animated groups of little chaps-increasin
in numbers and volume of sound as one an
proaches the upper Nineties, until just be-
fore 10th Street is reached a surprising
crescendo of childish voices is heard from
hundreds of boys and handful of girls
swarming over the seats like so many twit-
tering sparrows.
An infinite variety of amusement is of
fered, one popular diversion inveigiing
the more reckless youngsters into risking
life and limb by making innumerable
round trips from the top to the bottom row
of seats. Others hold chatty little confer
ences, usually on the highest possible perch:
while the favorite outdoor sport of all is
saving on the few loose boards not vet
in place.
But it is not this endless vista of plain.
prosaic seats that holds the children's will
o'-the-wisp fancies magneticaly, but the
thought that soon from that very VANTAGE
point can be seen the heroes of their boy
ish ideals-those who have inspired tho
ages-old admiration of small boys--the
khaki-clad big brother Americans WIN
marched away to fight for the peace of the
world and are coming back victorious.

The Reaction
To Realism

1t was not long before the meagre intel
lectual food of these plays left much to be
desired from the standpoint of the more
intelligent immigrants. AS a result rea-
listic reaction arose, headed by Jacob Cor
din, who for many years produced rapid
succession of pieces, the frequency of
which may be explained by the fact that
he either translated or adapted Shake
speare, Goethe, Hebbel, Ibsen, Ostrovsky.
Hugo, Lessing, Schiller, Hauptmann, Goeol.
Grillparzer and others. In many cases the
adaptation is in the nature of a Yiddish
analogue suggested by the Gentle plot
Gordin knew little of the intimate lives of
the ghetto's people; he was never really a
part of them, SO that his realistic endeavors
could scarcely look to the creation of a
genuinely vital Jewish play. What he did
seek, and in measure attain, was the
problem play, although the Yiddish ele-
ment in the problem was too often super
fetal. AS fine a study of Gordin as has
come to my attention may be found in
David Pnski's little brochure on the Yid-
dish drama-a pamphlet important far be-
yond it's unpretcntous proportions.
Of Gordn's plays the best opinion wav-
ers between two as his best: "Mrele Ef-
fros" and "God, Man and Devil" The first
is sort of Jewish Lear, with a mother
rather than a king as protagonst. The sec
ond, inspired by Faust" is in a great
measure truly original and deserving of
wide acquaintance outside the ghetto In
stead of a Faust have the poor Yid-
dish scribe Herschele; instead of Me-
phistopheles who tempts with the pleasures
Of youth and passion we have a demon
who seeks to purchase the scrbes soul
with sordd dollars and cents. Instead of
Gretchen who is seduced, we have a wife
who is abandoned (by taking advantage of
a religious custom) in favor of beautiful
niece. These changes from the German
original operate also in an altered environ
