1.-THE Tale of the Wolf, though
predicated on a premise that is
tragiealIy humorous. relates of q
husband who broods and frets
over the ante-nuptial amours of
a faithful wife. Molnar pictures
this fellow as both an ass and
gentleman; a victim of self-de-
probation and a grotesque SCOT
fer and an egotist. And with
adriotness that is perfect in its
varying moments OF sporadic sus-
picion and charming conviction,
Roland Young supplies a por-
trait of Doctor Eugene Kelemen
that is memorable for it's bizarre
reality.
In contrast to this child.like
lawyer, the playwright supplies
Mrs. Kelemen, who has achieved
happiness and security in mar
raige that obViates any constancy
To forlnef suitors she may have
striven to nourish. This role
falls to the delightfully."- fine ac-
tress, Phyllis Povah, and her at
tainments in the role are quite
comparable to those annexed by
Young, though in exactly the op-
posite key.
Here in brief is Molnar's pivotal
theatrical teeter-totter upon which
he promptly puts the succinet
and stupid George Szabo, former
admirer of the wife. Here, too,
comes the supreme fantasy of the
play. This chap, Szabo, treated
with unreserVed eXcellencies of
skill and capricious burlesque by
the roles essayer. Wallace Ed
dinger, Is the cause Of a nervous
riot in the lives OF these Kele'
mems.
Szabo is the ex-lover of Mrs.
Kelemen, and, after his real in
trusion, perfectly handled dra-
n1atically, he re-appears to the
wife in a Macterlinclian lapse in
four distinct guises, made hilari-
ously amusing, fatuously roman
tic, and piteously ignoble by the
Eddinger etching talents.
7 OF course, Molnar has back
grounded such cycle of episodes
with the aristocratic elegance of
central Europe--the quaintness
OF his own Budapest. And he
is aided and abetted by Joseph
Urban settings that stabilize the
. milieu in the grandioses manner.

Needless to say, Gilbert Miller

Eddinger and Young and Miss

TRICK TAKE-OFF
IS FEATURE AT
GAYETY'

monkey Shines" the burlesque
show playing at the Gayety this
week, is not quite up to the
standard set earlier in the sea-
son. The humor is meager, few
OF the principals can sing, and
the show lacks the pep that bur-
lesque audiences like to see In
their favorite form of amuse-
ment.
The company possesses two
excellent comedians in George
Shelton and Al Tyler, and it is
through their efforts that the
show gets over at all. Given
a proper vehicle, these two fell
lows could show up many Of the
comedians who come to Washing
ton.
Irene Shea is a diminutive miss
who does not have much of a
voice, but she knows how to
dance and is easily the favorite
with the audience.
Helen Kennedy and May Myers
likewise are vocally weak but
their ability as dancers serves to
win them some applause. Burt
Ryan is the singer Of the aggre-
cation, his medley Of popular
songs proving an outstanding fea-
ture.
The real laugh producer OF the
performance is burlesque on
the shooting OF Dan McGrew."
This stunt went over big with
Shelton, Tyler, Lloyd Peddrick
and Miss Myers depicting the
leading characters. House Hunt
ing" was another sketch that won
favor.

flying the American girl. HI. w.

trial illustrating the ignorance and

authority over the local peasantry a
group Of village parishioners resolved
to brighten the peasantry with the
pretense of real" devil In the viii
lage.
A village boy was dressed up to
resemble a devil. During the night
he went to the village dwellers to
brighten them. He was instructed to
carry out secretly slight damages t.
peasants property. This went on for
several months. and the ignorant
peasants took it all in earnest, as a
penalty for their sins. They flocked
to the church. induced the priest to
hold special services and organized
common prayers and religious process
sions.
A special commission had to be sent
from the district town to investigate
the peasants troubles, which were
brought to an end only by the arrest
of the devil" The priest and the
local authorities were placed on trial
and sentenced to many years impris-
Onment. ..~.
