The Phantom LOvey' by C.
Kaiser, q Poetic Phantasy

AT the Forty ninth Street Theatre
a they are playing Georg Kaiser's
1928 play, "Oktobertag," under the
title 1.-THE Phantom Lover" do
not know how closely the transla-
ton follows the original, but some
Of the er-sentimental passages
which mar an otherwise clever dia-
log may be due to too close adher-
ence to the German, a language in
which you utter extraordinarily
sweetish phrases without sounding
like The Family Magazine.
To be brief, the situation is this:
Lieutenant Jean-Mare Marrien (act-
ed by David NewelD is summoned,
with threats if he does not come,
to appear before perfect stranger,
Monsieur Coste. The fact that every
one on the stage pronounces the
lieutenant's first name differently,
is not part of the play, and is not
what causes his handsome sulky face
to fill with displeasure. The trouble
is that Coste accuses him of being
the father of a child recently born
to Catherine, Coste's niece. Jean,
ETC., offers proofs to the contrary
in the way of an alibi, but admits
being in the city ON a day in Oc-
tober.
Finally it appears that Catherine
saw the lad on that day, looked with
him into jewelry shop at marriage
rings, knelt with him at prayers in
church, and sat in the same box with
him at the opera, all without his
knowing it, though she thought this
constituted marriage with ring,
blessing, and celebration with music.
In loyal attempt to consummate
the marriage, she opens her door
that night, and grasps out into the
hallway to lead her husband in, the
lieutenant at that identical moment
being miles away and utterly ig-
norant of her existence. The baby
came about by the fact that when
Catherine so grasped into the dark
ness she accidentally got hold of the
butcher boy, who was sneaking in
to the house quietly to visit one of
the maids,
Now though Catherine never knew
the difference, this maid did, and
presumably, partly out of motives
of revenge, urged on Leguerche, the
butcher boy played by Romney
Brent, the best actor in this pro-
duction) to blackmail Coste for the
price of meat shop.
Marrien, having met Catherine,
falls most Economically in love with
her, and so far adapts himself to
GATHERINGS delusion and her pre-
ceding paranoid state (the mystic
marriage, etc. that he murders
Leguerche to protect himself against
any interference with the delusional

system which he now shares with
Catherine. This seems to be the
only way to explain the cutting
down of Leguerche, for Coste was
willing to buy him off, and the boy
wanted only to become a capitalist,
in a way not morally different from
that followed by other capitalists,
and therefore, presumably approved
of by playwright and audience.
However, in spite of the fine act
ing, especially of Brent, who is real
enough, the whole affair has an air
of mystic fairyland about it, and
much is left unexplained. You don't
know quite whether half the actors
are meant to be crazy, or whether
Kaiser is kidding you. Or maybe a
German is having a little fun with
the French army again.-V. S.

was praised. The Polish lords issued
this decree in order to confuse the
minds of the pupils and in order
that the children should become
faithful servants to the lords.
When Nikodim Pavlitch received
the decree of the Polish authorities,
he gathered US together and asked
US:
"Who of you children knows the
Polish language?"
The children say that they do not
understand Polish, and only the
priests son Basil and the saloon
keepers nephew Pavlo Dragged that
they could read and write Polish.
Then Nikodim Pavlitch thought
and said;
"Well, children, look here, l know
the Polish language and shall teach
you in the afternoons to read and
write Polish. And in the day time
we will learn the White Russian
language"
"And from which books?" asked
the priests son, Basil.
"From White Russian ones" an
swered the teacher. "We have no
other books"
cts not allowed to learn from
White Russian books" said Basil.
"The authorities have forbidden to
learn from White Russian books,
and he who does not obey the au-
thorities, commits a mortal SIM"
"Well, then shut up! It's not
your business!" shouted the children
to the priests son. "You are not an
instructor for u.s."
In the evening Nikodim PavEch
sent declaration to the authorities.
In this declaration he stated that
the children do not understand the
Polish language, and that in the
evening he will teach us to read
and write Polish, and in the day
time White Russian.
This paper he sent, and our life
went on as usually.
When the priest and the kulaks
erich peasants) got to know, that
Nikodim Pavlitch teaches us from
old books, they also sent a declara-
tion to the town authorities. In this
statement they said that the teacher
goes against the authority Of the
Polish lords, tells the children
about Lenin and about the Soviet
system and that it is necessary to
arrest him.
One morning, when we had les
son in arithmetic, three gendarmes
entered the school. They had fierce
faces and round their belts hung re-
volvers and in their hands they held
whips. One of them, the chief one,
approached Nikodim Pavlitch and
shouted TO him:

STRANGERS AND LOVERS. By
Edwin Cranberry. The Macaulay
Company, $500.
Reviewed by EDWIN ROLFE.


Reviewed by EDWIN ROLFE.
THIS book falls within the category
of the might-have-been- good, nov
els. That is to say, the author, at
the very outset of his work, had a
story of gigantic possibilities in his
hand: the life of girl belonging to
the poor white" class in the south.
But, confronted with several meth
DDS with which to attack the story,
Cranberry, it seems, chose the
worst, that of treating his central
characters in decidedly snobbish
and supercilious manner.
There are many prejudices re-
vealed in the book which definitely
stamp the author, who has been
given a place "in the front rank of
our younger novelists" by bourgeois
critics, as follower of the decadent
literary school of the Dial and the
now defunct Little Review groups.
There is, to mention one of these
prejudices, a lofty contempt for the
Negro, whom he treats not sympa-
thetically or understandingly but in
"a way that is sure to lead the I'M
whiting reader, who imagines that
Cranberry knows all about the
south of which he writes, to adopt
similar ace-prejudiced stand
against the Negro. Then there is
the difference in his treatment of
Mile, the girl of the poorer class,
and Mrs. Boynton, a member of the
southern aristocracy. This differ
ence is subtle; so subtle in fact, that
were it not for a close scrutiny of
the novel, this false and narrowly
aristocratic stand of the author
would not be discernible. But one
can see that there is condescension
in his descriptions of Millie and a
fawning humbleaess in those of
Mrs. Boynton.

Nikodim Pavlitch.
"Show the book"
The teacher handed the arith-
metic book over to him. The gen.
darme saw that the problems are
written in White Russian language.
His face grew quite red. He lifted
his whip and struck Nikodim Paw
Itch heavily on the face.
The children screamed, jumped
from their seats, ran towards the
geudarme, weeping and shouting;
Don't hit him! Why do you beat
Nikodim Pavliteh?"
+. And Tanka Krivtchuk got hold of
the gendarme's sleeve, weeps, bites
and screams with all her might:
"Brigand Brigand"
She suffered very much for Nillo-
dim Pavlitch and was deeply humili-
ated. The gendarme lifted her with
both hands and hit her head
against the edge of desk Tanka
died on the spot. At first convul-
sions shook her body twice. The
brain poured out-so died Tanka
And the other gendarmes locked the
door and beat the children with
whips. They beat their faces, their
backs, their chests; they beat them
so mercilessly that the shirts and
trousers of many children were torn
to pieces and the whole body was in
stripes and bled.
They they locked us up and led
Nikodim Pavlitch away to some
place.
We were released only in the eve
ming. 1t was already quite dark.
When we came home to our huts
we were told that the gendarmes
had already left. l asked my
mother:
"And what happened to Nikodim
Pavlitch?"
And mother weeps, kisses me and
between sobs says:
"He is on the square, our martyr.
They have killed him, killed, the
brutes."

There saw him lying near the

places with bayonets and on his
forehead were two bullet wounds.

Nikodim Pavlitch and Tanka. And

Our teachers name was Nikodim
Pavlitch, and his surname Kostiuk.
He was employed in our village dur
ing twenty-five years, and almost
all those who could read and write
in our village had been his pupils,
My uncle, Danila, has already five
children, his son Gritzko is of my
age. Sometime ago l asked Danila
'"Uncle Danila, who had taught you
to read and write?" He replies:
"Nikodim Pavlitch."
The old men relate that Nikodim
Pavlitch came to our village when
he was quite young-he was not
even twenty years old. And when I
entered school he was already bald
and his face was covered with
wrinkles.
Elves times, if not more, gem
darmes came from town and
searched the lodging of our teacher;
once they beat him with canes till
he bled, but they could not arrest
him, for Nikodim Pavlitch did his
work carefully and referred always
to laws which existed.
For US, village children, Nikodim
Pavlitch was like an elder brother.
Nikodim Pavlitch did not die a
natural death; he was martyred to
death by Polish gendarmes. That's
how it happened.
After the war against Germany
the Soviet Power did not remain
long in Western White Russia. The
Polish lords declared that our coun-
try is under their rule and that they
will rule over US according to their
laws.
The Polish authorities issued a
decree, according to which children
were to be taught in all schools in
the Polish language, and that they
had to learn from those books, in
