LETTER OF THE LAW"
A POWERFUL PLAY
Lionel Barrymore and Doris Ran
kin Stars, With Fine Support,
at The Playhouse.

Quite the most finished theatrica
production that has been put on the loca
stage this year opened its weekend en-
gagcment at The Playhouse last evening
That Is to say, each part was taken pN
an actor not only Of natural capacity, but
of trained experience, while the settings
evidence design and execution by Q
similarly qualified intelligence. The re-
suit is . smooth and fully rounded per-
forrnance.
The play itself is skilfully constructed,
the foundation carefully laid and the
cimaxes being reached in due course
and effectively developed, thereby at
tanning their full dramatic effect.
The title of the play, in the original
of Eugene Brieux, is '''The Red Gown, y
from the official vcstment worn by pre-
siding judges in criminal eases The dis
play of such a robe, prepared IN advance
by the ambitious wife OF Nagret, n prose-
cutting attorney for the government, who
is in line for preferment. but has been pass
ed over In several instances, tvplhes the
lnslnuation that such preierments are
determined by influence rather than by
merit. This point Is skilfully developed
by the dialogue between Nagrct and
several of his colleagues, further injecting
the idea that desire To decide justly is
subordinated to that of acquiring a
record for convictions.' This latter view is
frankly and cynically put forward by
Mouzon, the role taken by Lionel Barry
more. who. as examining magistrate IN n
mysterious murder case, tries to eytort q
confession of guilt from Etchepare, n
peasant neighbor of the victim, who IS
entangled in the web of cIrcumstantiai
evidence, but steadily maintains his in
nocence. Cross-questioning of Etche-
pares wife discloses n past, which she
had never confessed to her husband.
In the end, Mouzon is appointed judge:
Nagret, who had been tortured by doubts
OF Etchepare's guilt, although pleading
dutifully for his conviction, being again
passed over. SThe prisoner, acquitted by
the jury. finds himself, however, disil-
liisioned by the acknowledgment on the
witness stand by his wife of her perfidy, re-
pudiates her. She, in turn, holds Mouzon
rs the cause Of her unhappy fate, and kills
him.
Doris Rankin. as the wife, displayed
much emotional force. Charles White, as
Etcheparc, the accused peasant, was con-
vincing. Lionel Barrymore. as the
cynical, self-seelSing magistrate, willing
10 make injustice TO the innocent step
ping stone to his own advancement, was
the finished artist; it would be super
fiuous to say more.
There will be performances today and
tomorrow as usual.
