teenth' Chair" which ran for over a
year at the Forty eighth Street Thea

Melodrama which is not farcical
holds the public interest even yet,
despite the bloody melodrama of
actuality that was staged in France.
And, indeed. to the average mind a
capably acted melodrama IS a logically
pleasant evening.
"The Thirteenth Chair" is a murder
mystery. 1t is capably acted by a
company headed by Helen Van Hoose,

in which the line OF demarcation be-
tween the tragic and comic is So
lightly drawn, the Interpretation
given by the actor to the words of the
author must be the deciding factor.
Robert Mantell gives to the por-
trayal Of Shylock such deadly spirit
OF revenge, such savage fierceness,
and such a designation OF cruelty
and mischief as cannot agree win
either the character or style of corn
edy. So a tragedy it will remain in
the minds of those who witnessed its
presentation last night at the Garrick
Theater.
Mr.. Mantell's Shylock has not the
tragic grandeur of his Richard III,
but there is similar force Of mind and
much of the same subtlety Of intellect.
In the trial scene courage appears
predominant over revenge and avarice,
as he here stands an ill-used man.

wrath. He has dignity as the avenRer

sympathy as a father outraged by his

trait of womanliness throughout

Of passion and tense expectancy OF
the trial scene being tempered by
the quality of mercy she inVokes in
vain in ShyIock.
Mr.. Leiber is a delightful Bassanio,
wise, though a gallant; manly,
though dependent, so that the for
tune seeker is forgotten in his other
manifest virtues.
The balance OF the parts, particu-
larly those OF Antonio and Gratian1,
were in most capable hands
OF all the plays OF Shakespeare, 'The
Merchant of Venice" is one OF the
most finished, the manner in which
two themes. widely divergent, are in
terwoven and brought into har-
monious unity being an imperishable
monument to his genius.
1t is worth mention that the nth
act, sometimes omitted from stage
versions, was last night presented in
its entirety, and afforded a restfuI
mental let-down from sustained tense
ness Of the trial scene.
