"Surmise," the new English
play in which Pauline Lord and
others will be seen at the National
next week, opened Monday in At
lantic City. Here is an estimate.
in part, by G. r. weintraub. uf
the New York Morning telegraph:
1T is an Interestingly absorb.
ing but somewhat disjOinted play
that Frank VOSper. the English
playwright, has fashioned out of
the Bywaters-ThOmpsOn murder
trial. 1t bears the title of Sur.
mise. The play is evidently q
surmise Of what may actually have
been the cause for the London
murder in which the young wife's
tedious husband was killed by her
hOt-headed lover. What lifted the
case above the usual SOrGIid kill
1ngs were the beautiful love notes
Edith Thompson wrote to young
Fred ByWaters during the years of
her thwarted love. These letters
came ont at the trial and upon
these Mr.. VOsper bases his play.
1T is possible, too, that the
author has come under the infIu-
ence Of the Drs. Freud or Jung,
Tor he delves into the conscious
and subcOnsciOus workings Of the
mind OF an imaginative woman.
Miss Pauline Lord plays her and
gives a memorable performance
in the part.
Miss Lord pOrtrays, with her
peerless talent, q young wife
whose hundrum, materialistic ex.
1stence with q niddle.aged hus-
band is completely Overshadowed
Dy a deIusOry world of romance
which she has created for herself.
1t leads her into .liaisOn with a
young man who, under the in
1luence Of letters she has written
him, stabs the husband, only to
find that her love for him was a
deIusiOn, too, the result Of her
subcOnscious struggle against the
materialism that Is i'm her own
soul.
'Surmise' demands too much
probing thOughtfuIness to ever
attain popularity. MFR. VOsper's
theme is engrOssfng and he has
scenes in his drama that reach
extraordinary intensity. But he
takes two Of his three acts to get
to the point that he has a play
and he does not make his char
acters clear.
Miss Lord, Of course, domi-
mates the play. Her vicissitudes,
doubts, fears grasp you. She sug-
gests the woman Obsessed and
deepens the suggestion as the
play progresses. AS usual, she
lends her own paths to the char
acter she pOrtrays and iIIumines
her Characterization with human
feeling. Mr.. Vosper himself is
temporarily in the part Of the
husband and gives a natural, well
sustained performance. 0. p.
Heggie plays the girls father, en-.
rlching him with. some dry humOr.
These three turn I'm the most skill
ful performances of the cast as
sembled by George Tyler.

Murnau is the lad who made
Emil Jannings, just as much as
Lubitsch ever did. He turned
out "The Last Laugh" and
stood Hollywood on its head,
hunting for Murnauesque
camera angles. He made a
beautiful picture out of Faust"
and New York's critics have
poured the honey barrel all over
Sunrise"
For the last few weeks, Muir
.nau has been knocking around
Virginia with Ringling's Circus,
getting atmosphere for his next
Fox feature, "The Four Devils"
He's SO, a graduate of old
Heidelberg and a student of
Max Reinhardt.
He's a strong advocate of
pure cinema, which tells a story
by action, without the use of
subtitles. But he was beguiled
into predicting that in the fu-
ture we will have three differ
ent types of movies to satisfy
the various requirements of the
public: Subtitleless pictures,
talking films and the present
subtitled ones.
He made some shrewd observa-
tions on colored films, stressing
the problem of composition. It's
easy enough, he pointed out. to
arrange a cinematic tableau with
all the colors and tone values in
their proper place. But give ami
nation to this tableau, and the
picture becomes a distracting
tumble Of color. There are few
directors who know anything
about black and white compost
ton. let alone color work.
The more he talked, the
stronger grew the impression that
here was a German who knew
tricked into saying that Ameri-
can producers know nothing about
film art. There's art, he opined,
on both sides of the Atlantic,
and about the same proportion
on each side. We don't see any
thing but the best Continental
product, he pointed out, because
there'd be no sense in bringing
it over. On the other hand,
the European market must de-
pend upon all kinds of American
pictures to show to the English,
the Germans, the French and
other film fans.
When Murnau sits downs, he
folds up like an accordian. He's
all legs, shoulders and head.
When he stands up, he looks like
the side Of a barn. His hands
are large and muscular, but his
fingers are long and tapering.
He's above bunk and the usual
interview flubdub. Murnau's
a cosmopolite. He speaks of his
work seriously, but never bla-
family. He was asked many
questions-many pertinent, some
asinine-but his answers always
were enlightening and provocative.
I'm glad to have met him, and
I'm glad he's making pictures in
this country, and I hope the next
time he comes to Washington,
he'll stay a little longer and talk
a little longer, Your old sleuth.
