struggle braveiy but vainly
against the 10000 melodramatic
diction Of the drama.
"Tia Juana" is a three-act play,
the action OF which occurs In
Sprunt's Place, in the wicked
town across the Mexican border.
Mr.. Sprutt is an ex.convict, who
has been nursing a grud2e against
Judge Stone, who convicted him.
He lives only for revenge, he con.
fides frequently, from between his
teeth. In fact, Frederic Burt, who
plays this heavy role, Is probably
the most consistent teeth-talker
we have seen for seasons.
Sprutt lures Judge Stones son
to his place, through the medium
Of a virtuous dancing girl, and
frames" him on murder charge,
among other villainies. His fell
low.conspirator is the Yaqui chief
of police. a part well played by
Harry D. Southland.

grave and reverend judge humbly
asks her pardon in Sprutt's Place
without removing his hat Even a
Judge should know enough to doff
the fedora at such a time.-J. r.

FRITZ LIEBER'S
HAMLET IS
WORTHY

Shakespearean roles are still
the acid test Of an actors ability
TO create a character illusion, and
to come through such a test with
flying colors, particularly in the
difficult and exacting role of
Hamlet" is sufficient reason
why Fritz Leiber should feel free
to indulge in self-congratulation.
Leiber, long with Hampden,
heading a thoroughly sensitive
and attuned company drew a dis.
eliminating audience to the Audi
forum last night to witness the
famed bard's Hamlet" in some.
thing Of a new manner. There
was none Of the bombast, none
of the strutting, none of the
hop-de-doodles of the "old school"
Instead, Leiber traced finenses,
poetic virtue, fluency, a. much
needed tempo, and dramatic
gusto; not he alone, either, but
all associated in this excellent
reading Of the play were alive to
his force and detail.
In other words: Here one
tasted Hamlet" en- toto, an
entity. poised, distinguished and
decidedly in key.
In support, Mr.. Leiber, chose a
cast Of equal talents. Louis Hall
bringing to the Claudius interpre.
tation power and precision, Ethel
Taylor living Ophelia, tempestu.
ously, vigorously. and Philip Quin
tempering Polonius expertly.
Not only a splendid perform
ance, but a flawless one. Mr..
Leiber himself created a role,
which can be said Of few actors
on the American stage. His
nuances are his own, and it is
something that he stand alone
in his neutrality-suspicious. making
little or no difference.
Leiber was Hamlet" which is
sufficient unto the best of us.
