Suggests Dramatic Char.

- is all bosh that there would be
no market for a new play on the
order Of the classics by the present-day
playwright" says Robert B. Mantell--
that is. if it would be comparable with
'Richelieu.' In spite Of the fact that it
Is century old, 'Richelieu' Is one OF my
best drawing cards. and this Is SO, not
because il is q classic, appealing to a
cult. but because it is a -blooded
play.
For years | read manuscripts in
hope of finding successor to Richie
lieu, but all the plays submitted lacked
the vital element, the element that
transforms a historical figure into a
dramatic parsonage.
There is plenty of dramatic material
lying around waiting for the dramatist
of genius. The world war Is perhaps
too fresh in memory to produce a dra-
matte hero. But the upheaval did pro-
duce one magnificent villain. with all
the attributes seemingly made to order
for drama. and that was the Russian
monk. Rasputin. 1t would seem Ras-
putin would not be difficult to transfer

days Of prohibition. and Beverly came
on the stage full of spirits that had
nothing to do with the father of
Hamlet.
Though unsteady in his ghostiy
footsteps, he went through his lines
well enough. He reached the lines:
"The glowworm shows the matin to
be near,
And gins to pale his intellectual fire.
Right there the spirits overwhelmed
the Ghost. Turner tripped. fell clear
over the footlights and landed on top
of the bass drum. The house roared
and for a few moments everything
was in confusion.
But Turner pulled himself together
and climbed back onto the stage
Strengthening up he Immediately be-
came the Ghost again, and resuming
his lines. he said in his most
sepulchral tones: 'Adieu, adieu.
Hamlet remember me-.
I'm the fervency of my Indignation

II will never forget you" And again
the house roared."
