The First Man" which was acted at
the NeiShborhood Playhouse on Satur-
day. In the commercial theater. Whether
it was ever offered there or not, it
found its First performance In one OF ths

done so much to encourage the talents

very much better for Mr.. O'Neill's rep
utation il THE First Man" had never
been played anywhere.
There is in the dialogue much or the
authors vigorous and natural writing.
Occasionally the observation of character
is searchingly true TO life. Yet it Is
not directed in n novel channel. The
play deals with the narrowness OF view
which maintains in small communities
ard its eventually evil effect on the
innocent. There is nothing new In this
theme, which has been the inspiration of
the dramatist in every age. So the
critics of Bridgetown. Conn, who arc so
uncompromising in their views as 60 the

not skiilfully arranged by the play
