In the Story of
"As You Were''
Genuine Satiric Idea Devel-
oped Boisterously for the
New Musical Show at the
Central Theater
By Haywood Broun

LAS You Were which was presented
a { the Central Theater last night. Is a
musical comedy built upon a definite
and ingenious plot. Of course, the fun
is not confined entirely to the elements
Of the story itself. The producers have
not neglected to develop the humor Of
such moments as those in which one
character kicks another and sprains his
toe. A genuinely satiric idea is worked
out in boisterous and sapstick fashion.

Maeterlinck Breaks
Vow and Hears His
Opera First Time
Bel lgian Poet Listens to pei
leas and Melisande' as
Tribute TO America and
Mary Garden. Star of Cast

Maurice Maeterinck heard his drama
'Pelleas ct Melinsande' for the first
time as an opera al the performance
given by the Chicago Opera Company
last night at the Lexington Theater
Between the acts NJ. Maeterlinck said
that years ago he had sworn never to
listen to the opera, but that he had
broken his oath out Of respect for
America and Mary Garden. The poet
added that in spite OF being tone deaf
re had passed a very pleasant evening
With him in the right hand stage box
were his wife and Henry Russell
For those who love It, Debussy's
opera holds fascination from year to
year: The poetic music. the perfect
wedding of this music with NJ Maeter-
lnck's text, the personages Of the
drama, mysterious creatures from an
other world, pursued by an implacable
fate, all vove their potent spell once
more last night. In this opera there IS
the utmost freedom from traditions.
lhere are no set arias for celebrated
singers. There is no chorus. The rnusi-
cal speech allotted to each character
spoken word On the other hand, it
makes strenur.s demand upon the
imagination an interpretative sense
of each singer in the cast
1t was pity that the Belgian poet
could not have heard better perform
ance, for with the exception of Miss
Gardens Melisande. the evening was
pallid and the opera dragged Miss Car
den's Melisande is the most sincere
in her gallery Of operate portraits
There is no taint Of arrogant sensual
ity or personal mannerisms about her
portrayal Of the child-woman dreamed
by the Belgian mystic. There is no
need for her to spend her energy and
resources in Stimulating that which is
yocally not hers. She has only TO in
terprec, and to this part she brings her
best in action, eloquent repose, ex-
qulsitely colored tones.
N. AfagHenat is an excellent artist,
but his Pelleas does not dim the
memory of NJ. Perlier NJ. Dufranne's
Golaud and NJ. Huberdeau's Arkel
are familiar. Miss de Philippe was
commercially ineligible as Yniold
Miss Classens as Genevieve was out
Of the picture. Her reading of the lot
ter scene was without poetry, and she
remained anonymously matter of fact
throughout the evening The orchestra
was sluggish under the direction OF
Marcel Charlier. who gave remark
ably wooden reading Of the beautiful
score.

The Schumann Quartet was given a
refined and exquisitely articulated per-
