Stage Handcuffed?

Francis Edwards Paragon, author
Of "Pinwheel," now playing at the
Neighborhood Playhouse, former
dramatic critic of Pearson's Maya
zine under Frank Harris, and one Of
the directors Of the New Playwrights
Theatre, says il is.
He wants to knock the shackles
off the drama, push down its faded
parlor walls and set it's paralyzed
characters into action. He wants
American drama to reflect Ameri-
can life in all its intensity, crude
ness, variety and jazz tempo.
Paragon has an idea of what the
new drama will look like when it is
freed Of Broadway formulas and be-
gins to spring from the life of the
American people.
He will picture this new drama of
the masses in an article written ex-
clusively for The DAILY WORKER.
1t will appear NEXT SATURDAY
in The New Magazine.

W DRAMA IN
MALE PRTMA DONNAS
Critic Finds Jewish Theatre
Wrecked by Incompetent
ActOr-Managers
Reyiewed by a. B. MAGILL.

hNNlNMNu ny IL - MANAlALs
Abraham Goldfaden is generally
considered the father of the Yiddish
drama and opera. When he first
began writing in the latter half of
the 10Th century, there was practi-
cally no Yiddish stage. His plays
necessarily had to be simple and
provincial, with something of the inn
provsational quality of the old Ital-
ian commedia del arte. They also
emphasized the comic and sentiment
tai elements and were interpreted
with numerous songs.
"The Two Rooney Lemels" is the
second play of Goldfaden's the Yid-
dish Art Theatre has produced this
season. 1.-THE nearest synonym in
English for "l6ooney lemel" is dub"
on "poor fish.") The first play,
"The Tenth Commandment" was an
elaborate production, involving much
spacious, glittering scenery and
many weeks of preparation. The
present play feems to have been put
together in odd moments between
supper and curtain call. The result
is pretty awful.
There is remarkable vitality in
"The Two Rooney Lemels" despite
its cobwebby technique. 1t belongs
to the category of that universal
comedy of errofs which in English
goes back to sheridan, Congreve
and Shakespeares 1t is a genuine
folk play, involving a folk type, the
village fool. The humor is fresh and
there is something Or other worldly
about it, the heightened reality of
the legend.
Maurice Schwartz has taken this
simple, delicate play and applied to
it the technique of the burlesque. He
achieves a. disjointed, vulgar, flat,
tedious, pseudo-dramatic cohcoction.
1t again emphasizes the appalling
lack of competent direction on the
Yiddish stage. The star system in
the Yiddish theatre is even more
vicious than in the American be-
cause so many of the male nrima
donnas insist on being producers, di-
rectors and in many cases authors
or paraphrasers as well. Atheist
none of them has any conception If
the functions of a director. Form,
tempo, ensemble struggle through
any old way by being hit on the
head often enough. Maurice Schwartz
is an excellent actor and has been
a pioneer in the field of the art the
atre in Yiddish. But as a director,
he is fumbling, unsubtle and con-
ventional, and the result is frequent
ly disastrous.
On the night I saw "The Two
Rooney Lemels" it suffered under
the further disadvantage of the most
shameful performance on the part
Of an actor l have seen on any stage.
Bertha Gersten, who was cast in In
important part, decided, for reasyn MS
she knows best, to ignore the play,
the other actors and the audience
completely, and when she wasn't
called upon to say anything, sl6uched
around, fussing with her hair and
making valiant efforts to control her
laughter. An attitude of such con-
temptuous Indifference coIld not
have helped affecting the work of
her colleagues.
The acting of Maurice Schwartz,
Bina Abramowitz and Anna Teitel-
baum saved the play from becoming
an utter fiasco.
