the mind of the listener after one
hearing is that VIII cE typihes the
friendship between Carlos and Posa
and their common devotion to the cause
Of freedom. 1t is typically Verdian.
An example of the uneven merits of
the score is the difference between the
two marches for which Verdi uses
stage band in the third scene of the
Tin rd act The first, the march Of the
condemned, has character and distinc-
ton. The second, the signal for the
entrance of king and court, again de-
scends to the region Of the common
place. This scene is largely an affair
of ensemble.
Some of the most effective numbers
in the opera are the duet between Posa
and Don Carlos in the second act,
Philips soliloquy in The fourth, Posa's
air and the duet between Carlos and
FL zabeth. also in the last act.
Spectacularly the performance is q
triumph for Mr.. Gatti's management.
Nothing has been spared in the way Of
costumng or mise en- scene. The
scenes in the clio ster of San Giusto, in
the Queens Garden, in the square be-
fore Nostra Donna d'Atocha,, all are
notable ach evements. The marine
ballet in the third act, one of the most
elaborate ever staged at this opera
house, with human pearls and oysters
disporting themselves among the
waves is another evidence of Miss Ro-
sina Galli's brains and inventive genius.
She herself has ample opportunity to
charm the audience with her dancing
skill She has never been more ex-
auisite. more seductive.
Martinelli in Title Role
Mr.. Martinelli's Don Carlos is vo-
cally sound, but historically unro-
mantle, certainly never Byronic, ten
dency OF this unfortunate princeling.
The character awakens no particular
sympathy He was only hal man, q
neurotic boy who wnlned good deal
but accomplished nothing.
Mr.. Didur's Philip, admirable in
makeup, was the most royal figure on
the stage. He was vocally on his
mettle. and carried the trying scene in
the last act with telling effect. By far
the most distinguished imnersonation
10Th as to singing and acting, was Mr..
De Lucas Rodrigo. Marquis de Posa.
IIe sang and acted with consummate
skill, grace and authority. Altogether
Ar. De Luca IS the mast human, most
sympathetic figure in the opera and the
nearest in artistic stature to the char
acter of Schiller's play.
Miss Ponsel e's velvet voice was
poured out with ceaseless tonal opu-
lence in Elizabetn's music, but not un-
til the last act did she succeed in
lending a touch of regal dignity to her
impersonation.
Nine. Matzenauer did her best to
assume the airs and graces of Il col
oratura singer in Eboli's forid aria
that opens the second act. The part
les high for her. But the coquetres
Of love, are not her affair and she was
better suited to the more tempestuous
Genes that followed.
A large audience was interested and
duly impressed with the scenic gran
deur and the beauties Of the ballet.

By E1eywood Broun

"Deburau," an adaptation by Gran
Vile Barker of play by Sacha Guitry,
was produced at the Beasco Theatre
last night 1t is not great play, but
it is q work of such distinction that
some such statement must be made
at the outset. Particularly the state
ment is necessary because there are
great play, moments in which a thing
now dead, which we call the grand
manner, is animated so eloquently that
it seems to be again the one true and
perfect mood of the theatre.
This, we realize in our cooler mo-
ments, is rank heresy Such plays are
among the lesser things which the
theater can do. But though "Debu-
rau" is ghost it is an apparition Of
sufficient stature to strike awe to all
bcholders If it had lasted until cock
crow, and for time we thought it
would, we haven't doubt that with a
shrek Of anguish play and players
would have disappeared And yet for
surety and confidence, and passion
scared on outstretched arms and folk
spoke verse and souls were scared and
hearts broke in rhymed couplets.
There are, we have heard, no actors
now living who can pay these parts
in the drama If the old school, even
though the play be by Sacha Guitry,
who is, perhaps, little more alive than
any Of US, since he lives in Paris.
Then it must be that Lionel Atwill is
also q visitor who has been away in
some island Of the Hebrides, for it
seemed to us that ne was surely one
Of the inagnicents whose names we
hear when piaygoers of fifty-odd thump
upon the hagstones in the chimney cor
ners and chidc the young, saying. "Ah,
but then you never saw But row
we can answer, "Why, grandpa, how you
do 60 on. You forget that we watched
Lionel Atwill in 'Deburau.'
"Deburau" is play by an actor,
about an actor and for an actor, and
accordingly falls short, acco, ding to
our notion, of the most important
function of the theater. which is to
deal with life and people. Within
these limitations set by the theme
