1T Is not a happy theme that is pre-
scented in "Pagans" nor Is II one cal
culated TO attract the average Ameri'
can audience. Its story Is a dolorous
one, based on not particularly orig
NAL angle Of approach to the much
Wanted eternal triangle" and end
Ing with no solution to the laborious-
ly constructed problem II offers.
Its chief fgure is Richard North
cote, an artist, born of an American
father and an italian mother in the
latter country. who at the opening Of
the story Is broken physically as a
result of his war experiences and
shattered mentally as result of an
unhappy domestic environment,
caused by his chatterboN wife and
demon mother-in-law.
Nine. Morelli, an opera singer and
a flame Of his youth, comes back into
his life to provide renewed inspiration.
and for time she succeeds. His
removal OF his unhealthy domestic
influences, but the frivolous wife who
never could understand, let's the OPP
portunity pass by, and Northcote dies
peacefully in his chair. as the prima
donna sings him a lullaby from the
wings.
The management announced just
before the rise of the first curtain
that Miss Irene Fenwick had with
drawn from the cast and had been
succeeded by Miss Eugenia Wallace,
who had had less than twenty-four
hours study on the role, requesting
the indulgence of the audience. But
this apology proved unnecessary,
Miss WallaCe's capable handling Of
the exactinE part providing one OF
the few bright spots in the perform
ance.
Miss Helen Ware, in the emotional
role of Nine Morelli. was at all times
equal to the fun needs OF the char
acter. The repressive style OF por-
trayal by Mr.. Shieldkraut OF his un-
natural role is not of the type that
the average playgoer will appreciate.
There Is but one setting-a studio
interior of striking beauty and rich
ness of tone.
