An odd, thoughtful unshopworn
comedy, expertly acted, took posses

ning-took complete possession, too, Of
a rapt and fascinated audience. 1t is
called six Characters in Search of an
Author" and was made into English
from the Italian of Luigi Pirandello.
This play was heralded by procla-
nation, at once defensive and antag-
onizing, which appeared in the news
papers OF yesterday morning. Therein
hits producer, Brock Pemberton, an
nounced that it would be presented for
an engagement limited TO four weeks

that all morons would be denied ad-

1t is, true enough. subtle and COM

also a play which requires as well as

all those who have some special in

The scene, you see, is just the bare

THE REVIEWING STAND
By Alexander Woollcott

out warning, there file in through the
stage door six portentous figures-a
gray haired and garrulous old beau; a
| lovely, tempestuous young girl; a
/ tragic woman. heavily yelled in black;
two small children and frost bitten
young man.
Their spokesman explains that they
are six characters invented for play
by dramatist who, despairing of ever
seeing them sympathetically embodied
by the average run of actors and mis-
trusting the commercial theater as a
place which would permit their des-
TIMES to be worked out, prefers just TO
let them drift off up his chimney
like the idle smoke from the pipe on
which he was pulling when he in
vented them. He never wrote the
play at all and there they are, adrift
in a difficult world, as real as Falstaff
or Sancho Panza or Sim Tappertit, as
real and as changeless and as i'm
mortal.
How they persuade the manager 10
put them into play, how they treat
him as murderer when he seeks TO
alter or soften their destinies to please
the dread public and how they war
constantly with the dreadful actors
who are TO embody and wrench them
all out OF shape-all this is worked out
in an astonishingly dramatic and tell
ing play You may be sure 1t leaves
nothing unsaid as an acid commentary
on that ancient struggle between the
creative spirit and the poor instru-
VIII 10, la fa q 1G
tyrannous servants. Every playwright
who has dreamed a dear picture and
then seen that picture all discolored
on the stage will writhe with all the
comforts Of self pity as scene follows
scene in six Characters in Search of
an Author"
Mr.. Pemberton has cast it shrewdly.
AS the yelled woman, Margaret
Wycherly has nothing much to do
but smolder ominously in the corner
and then blaze up once or twice. She
manages this admirably. The chief
responsibility for keeping the play at
once buoyant and clarified rests on
/ Moffat Johnston, who is pretty good,
and on Florence Eldridge, who is bril-
| ligntly resourceful and charming and
alive. There must be a word too, for
| Ernest Cossart as the manager Csc
lected, we would swear, because he
does look a bit like Arthur Hopkins)
! for Fred House as the stock company
l leading man and for Dwight Frye as
| the frostbtten young man aforesaid
There really should be several words
for Mr.. Frye, newcomer this season
who is not the most imposing looking
actor we have ever beheld, but whose
voice has the true dramatic quality
and whose two brief appearances this
! fall have marked him as one coming
down out of the Berkshires, of all
places. with talent worth watching
