ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAL-"Stronget Than Love

NATIONAL-"StrOngef Than Love" F"
Duty transcends love, Dario Nicco-
demi, the Italian playwright believes.
and in Stronger Than Love-" which
opened last night at the National
Theater, Niccodemi gives compelling
force to his argument. He defends
his premise with a broadsword, and
although he wields it with the deft-
ness Of a fencer at times, the whole
effect of his unusual drama is melO-
dramatic and tragic. This unquestion-
ably was the dramatist's intention,
and he has done his work well.
Stronger Than Love" is strongly
drawn, capitally interpreted and beau
tifully set. Heading it's cast is Nance
O'Neil, the mother who is taught the
lesson that love is not always the
greatest thing in the world. While
Miss O'Neil is the star of the piece,
she is hard pressed for leading honors
Ralph Forbes as Marius, the eldest
son, and katherine Grey. as the most
delightful countess of IS years who
has been seen in the Capital in
years. Miss Grey takes this part of
the worldly-wise grandmother. a
woman whose perception and tongue
have been sharpened rather than
dulled by passing years, and she
handles it with a finesse that is a
never-ending delight to the audience.
Miss O'Neil's role is one of infinite
difficulty. heavily tragic at times, but
she brings to it a capacity and expe-
rience that do not fail. in spite of a
seeming harshness at times.
She is seen as Anna de Bernois, the
mother of two sons. Marius. the
elder, is beloved of the world and
hated, apparently, by the only person
for whose love he cares-hiS mother.
CASTOR. the younger son. is treated
passively by the world and passion
ately loved by his mother.
Why this difference, Marius wants
to know. Laura Regnault, daughter
of the family lawyer, tells him after
he has spurned her love. You are
your mothers sin, her illegitimate
son." she says.
Heartbroken. Marius seeks con-
firmation of this from his mother.
Finally breaking the oath she gave
her husband on his deathbed, she tells
him that he is illegitimate. but the
illegitimate son of his father, not of
herself.
Then she explains her hatred for
him-because she was forced to love
him. because he robbed her own child,
CASTOR, of his title, of the love of
every one. particularly of the love of
the girl that CASTOR wished to wed.
Then the war comes and with it
the mothers day of reckoning. Con
science torn, she waits for word of
Castor. who wants to live, and of
Marius. who wants to die. She breads
what her punishment will be-afl
through the agoniZed hours of wait
