its nature and by the strength
of characterizations offered by its
three chief actors.
In fact, the cast throughout is
excellent. Alfred Lunt. the unfor-
getable Clarence" and later with
Billie Burke in The Intimate

value to the role of the gambler
husband, Banco. while Miss Lola
Fisher. ever So much more effective

the heroine always charming. al

convincing. Another effective en-
actment comes from Edward Robin

In "Banco," the French comedy by
Alfred Savoir which William Harris
brought to the Belasco last night.
one finds a play Of rather trivial
theme values brought to the point of
downright interest chiefly by the man.
ncr Of its Interpretation.
The program insists that Clare
Hummer adapted "Banco" from Sa-
voirs play, though how little was
adaptation and how much was trans
lation would be hard to tell from the
Belasco version. II an unflagglng note
Of dialogic SOY .histication and a sus-

that adapting" Savoir in this case
amounted to little more than trans
lation.
On the other hand, however, the play
is marked by vaster raciness of
dialogue. a keener play of satire and
epigram than marked "Bhebeard's

However. "Banco" offers a humor-

a beautiful fortune-hunter in the be-
lief that excitement pleases her. AL
most too late. he discovers his error
and finding himself most strangely in
love with her confronts the task of
winning her back on the night of her
wedding to another man. Here is a
theme that presents group Of highly
alluring characterizations. some dia-
logue OF an almost scintillant quality
and a series of situations which offer,
despite their farce, some deep and
highly sophisticated moments.
The first act, for instance, pre-
sents the titled gambler engaged
in an eighty-four hour endurance
contest with his wife. who under

the wedding. A punctured tire
