Loose Treatment
Fails to Do Harm
To Play by Asch
''Cod of Vengeance a Work
Related Strikingly to G.
Bernard Shaw's ssMrs.
Warren's Profession''

A loose, unorganized production of
Sholom Asch's "God Of Vengeance"
was presented last night at the Irving
Place Art Theater. The settings we're
bad and most Of the actors. were
noisy. Nevertheless, tho play itself
did not suffer.
Mr.. Asch's play is not new one. It
was written about 1910 and has been
presented in almost every part Of Eu-
rope. Max Rcinhardt produced 1t in
the Deutsches Theater in Berlin before
the great war. Nor does Mr.. Asch,
who, probably is the foremost Yiddish
dramatist in this country, present a
novel theme in his play.
Indeed, Bernard Shaw's "Mrs, War
ren's Profession" can be likened, in
a casual sense, to the "God of Venge-
ance." In the "God of Vengeance" the
father, Jew, seeks to protect his daugh-
ter from the life of the brothel, and he
tries, so to speak, to buy over God by
giving freely of his money to the poor;
by bringing the sacred scroll into his
house.
Yankele, the father. is the keeper Of
brothel and is no Job; his life has
not been stainless, nor has he wor-
shipped God. His daughter, however,
he feels has nothing to do with his
"sin" and she is deserving of the best
that ghetto life can give. He does not
want her, as her mother was, to be
of Mrs. Warren's profession. But life
in the shape of three degraded. puny
beings, ironically enough brothel in
mates, and the curiosity of his daugh-
ter, crush him; and his reaction is
that God does not want him or his to
transcend the pit into which he has been
cast. He can think Of no other expla-
nation for what happens.
Mr.. Asch, like Eugene O'Neill in the
latter's "Anna Christie" is, in the
finest sense, a realist. But like Mr..
O'Neill again, he adds something to
his realism-that is, touch of SYM
bolism.
MIR. Schildkrnut's treatment Of the
scene in the third act, when he asks,
hopelessly, of his daughter whether
she is still chaste, is superb. He is
better than Grasso was in similar
scene at the Royal Theater Tuesday
night in "Notte SEM Alba" and is
not quite as sentimental as George
Marion is in similar scene in "Anna
Christie"
In the scene in which he denies God
Mr.. Schildkraut was splendid. The
brothal scene was badly conceived by
the actors, whose attempts at loose
ness tempted laughter. Mr.. Schildkraut
was the only artist of the lot.

The stage was set at 800 Mulberry

Magistrate McAdoo's inquiry into the
morals OF "Thc Demi-Virgin." Magis-
trato McAdoo was ready; Assistant
District Attorney Johnstone was
ready; Lieutenants Duffy and Macken-
zie, Of the chief inspectors Office, who
swore to the affidavit upon which the
inquiry rests. were ready; dozen re-
porters stood on tiptoe. fresh leaves
in their looseleaf notebooks, pencils
poised in expectation of something
snappy, which, alas. never came.
Magistrate McAdoo said he'd just

Steuer, attorney for A. H. Woods, pro-
ducer Of the play, asking that the
hearing be adjourned until Monday.

plead that the play wasn't naughty

way or the other. The adjournment
was granted, with tho stipulation that

Too Quiet Here for Peggy
So She Went to Paris, and Joyce
May Profit as a Result
Special Dispatch to The Trib,

Spcc10I Dispatch to The Tribune
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Peggy Hopkins
Joyce could not endure the quiet life
in New York, so she went to Paris and
Deauville and played. This little over
sight at time when she and her hus-
band, j. Stanley Joyce, were in the
courts, threatens to prove costly for
her.
Now it Is broadly intimated that she
will not appear in Chicago to fight her
husbands suit for annuiment Of their
marriage. Peggy returned to New
York two weeks ago.
1t is said a settlement out of court
has been arrived at and there will be
no trial. The marriage, it is said, will
be annulled, but Joyce will not get
back any of the fortune he gave her in,
jewels, but he will not be required to
pay her any further alimony. She
will receive in lieu thereof larg.

Peggy went abroad against the ad
vice of her attorneys, who knew her
every step would be watched.

The starter who stood in front Of

the eyermoving stream OF traffic that
