spare him his last possible hurt Mr.
Barrymore sounded the depth OF human
despair and his face pictured the great
est meLtal agony conceivable. Il was
remarkably fine acting. and the aud
ience recalled the artist repeatedly.
Other phases OF the man had h-en
graphically shown before this climax.
He was the Infatuated lover OF middle
age and then the blinded huaband
cheerfully following the faithless woman
to the ruin she was planning for him
But 1t was In his bitter prayer for mercy
to his enemy that Mr. Barrymore most
poignantly drew the depths of human
despair.
So for the sake of this fine actors
virtuosity THE Claw" may be tolerated.
1t is a Enthusiastically emotional and
artificial product of the Bernstein theatre.
To none but 4 French audience can there
be in II the least trace OF nature or
humanity. The characters breathe the
overheated air Of the French melo-
drama. thick with it's suggestions OF sex.
and they act in accordance with a code
of ethics ;ncomprehensible anywhere
else.
The playwright has of course wrought
the drama with his customary skill. Its
pictures of four epochs of an old man s
life when he is guided by his love for
a girl the age of his daughter are
clearly and logically drawn, according
to the Gallo theories Of life. To an
American audience the whole thing Is
preposterously artificial and untrue to
any but French-perhaps Parisian--
view of life.
But Mr.. Barrymores art excuses IL 1t
does not glorify THE Claw" There was
some other excellent acting. Then the
direction Of Arthur Hopkins added its
intelligence and artistic repose. But, Mr..
Hopkins. how about the false wife and
her father shaking hands iE triumph
over their victim? What. an old and
theatrical device for this day! Miss
Fenwick was alluring as the young wife
and Miss Doris Rankin. in spite OF her

Henry Bernstein's old play. "The

works OF the kind go since Paris saw
it in 1906-arrived belatedly on the
local stage last night. 1t was. Of course.
the artistic needs of an actor. rather
than any national interest in the theme.
that brought the play finally into the
vernacular. Arthur Hopkins selected 1t
as medium of bringing again before
the public the talented Lionel Barry
more. The leading part offers unusual
opportunities to such player.
THE Claw" tells the story OF a mans
destruction through his passionate love
OF a woman who Is enough younger than
he to make the business or fooling him
completely a simple task in her prac-
tised hands. He Is journalist, and
since tho French drama loves to SAVIOR
its inevitable preponderance OF sex with
the saving grace of politics, he is by
way of being q Socialist high in the
esteem Of his party. The girl he married
was no better than she might have been,
SO her scheming for a good match was
necessary. Yet the husband was not al
ways deceived
Z He knew her faithlessness and yielded
to his passion for her. even to the extent
Of jeopardizing his honor In the effort

mands. 1t is doubtful IL the world ever
is really sorry for any man who lets
himself be brought to perdition by hti
love for a woman. So the descent OF
the Socialistic journalist down the prim-
rose path, with his cutie leading him by
the nose, propably awakened little SYM
pathy In the hearts of the audience.
All that makes 1.-THE Claw" vivid Is
the acting of Mr.. Barrymore. His evil
genius incarnated in the blonde slim
ness of Miss Irene Fenwick even brings
the central figure of the play to his
knees before his bitterest enemy. Here
Is the big scene" inevitable in the
plays OF Bernstein and due usually at
this point OF their progress. Ten years
OF bitter experience have taught the
blinded husband something OF his wife's
character. The last possible indignity
she can heap on him is the acceptance
OF his enemy as her lover.
