"The Wanderer'', Beautiful
 Drama at the Jefferson

riotous living in Jerusalem. The way wardness of the young Jew. and his bitter disillusionment after he had been stripped of all he possessed and reduced to beggary by his false friends are contrasted with rare dramatic ef- feet with the love of his mother ana father.
 Mother love provides one of the most powerful factors in the play, but both the parents of Jether are ad- mirably drawn characters and well acted.
 The same caste seen here earlier in the season is appearing during the present engagement. It is exceptional ly capable, although there are many characters portrayed A noticeable feature of the production is the fact that even the minor roles are in capa- ble hands.
 Few plays seen in Birmingham have been staged on so imposing scale as aThe wanderer" It is rarely beautiful from a pictorial point of view and tells the undying story of the prodigal ,son. with new power and significance.
