National-"T The Swan

Tomorrow night in the National
Theater Charles Froham will pre-
sent Molnar's comedy. The Swan"
with Eva lie Caffeine.
THE swan is in three acts. The
plot concerns a noble family whose
glory has been dimmed and whose
throne has been lost. An ambitious
mother seeks to rehabilitate the
fortunes of the house by marrying
her lovely but cold daughter to the
crown prince of a neighboring state.
The prince has been the guest OF
the mother for some days. but the
matchmaking has not prospered
The daughter is austere and DUMP;
the prince shy and unenthusiastic.
The mother Is at her wits end. She
sees the great "catch" slipping from
her hand. There are other princesses
not SO cold as her Alexandra. To
one of these who will prove more
amenable to the royal code and
necessities in such circumstances the
crown prince Is sure to propose UNI
less something drastic Is Immediately
done to break the iciness Of the girl
manner and arouse the flame of pas
sion in the lethargic prince.
The mother hits upon an expedient
that seems sure to succeed. The con-
sequences of this expedient adopted
d
furnish Molnar with the matter of
the finest romantic writing that he
has yet done for the stage.
'"The Swan also stands out in
high relief as the most ironic and also
the most human work that Molnar
has done. In 1t all his fine powers
of observation, the humorous quirks
of his lively imagination and the
precision of his style find free play.
The exquisite flavor of the original
has been happily retained in the
translation made by Melville Baker.
Eva LIE Gallienne has already
scored in one other play by Molnar,
namely, 'Liliom." In THE Swan
Miss lie Gallienhe has totally differ
ent role. Her acting in both plays
has disclosed versatility and rare
technique. To few actresses has 1t
fallen to achieve so secure q posi-
ton in SO few years. Other princi-
pal roles are played by Basil Rath-
bone, Reginald Owen, Halliwell
Hobbies, Katherine Emmett, Richie
Ling, Henry Warwick. Carl Hartberg.
Paul Jones, Alison Skipworth and
Winffred Fraser. The settings of
"The Swan are elaborate. The pro-
duction and the selection of the cast
have had the expert care Of Gilbert
Miller, managing director of the
Charles Froham Company. "The
Swan" was one of the solid successes
of the past season in New York.
