The lover who pretends he is a gen.
eral swindler carries out a practical
joke In classical and colossal terms as
the girl who sneered at the peasant

Of love in spite of her aversion to him
as a social outlaw. Fay Compton plays
the role of this girl. The chief appeal
of her performance is in its discretion.
She plays the part, but never over
plays it.
A Molnar play is delicate piece of
machinery. The parts work together
with fine adjustment. The players
are intrusted with an obligation of
good faith to the author, even though
it may involve a restraint of ostenta-
tions in quest of an overwhelming per-
Sonal hit.
Ian Hunter gives the role of the

assists, perhaps as much as anything
in the performance, in removing the

arbitrary fancy. after the manner

an adroit and versatile criminal.
The stroke Is bold one. BY means
of the most minute artistry the girl,
who has insulted the devotion of an
honest hussar, is made to accept him

With rare finesse, story. simple

worked out. Each character has an in
dependent attitude and motive, woven
into consistent design by the story OF
two lovers. The plots and schemes go
even so far as a mothers willingness to
sacrifice the intimacies of family honor
In order to satisfy the public exigencies
Of family pride.
When the situation appears peril
ously near to tragic wreckage, Molnar
restores it with a stroke of straight
forward human comedy. This is made
possible, in the present version of the
work, chiefly by the playing of Laura
Hope CreWes, who as the mother of
the girl reserved for distinguished
marriage delineates with fine accuracy
the type of material ambition which
hesitates at no sacrifice - regretting
only that her charms cannot now as
sert themselves so as to permit her to

contributes valuable share of every
day manhood to the play.
In spite of the plot ingenuity the
real surprise of the play is reserved for
the final scene. The auditor has been
led step by step to comfortable antic-
ipation of a joyous union of lovers
who are at last undeceived and assured
of mutual sincerity. Molnar permits no
such thing to happen. The man who
has been despised unjustly and insuIted
beyond endurance prefers his revenge
to his happiness and departs to lead his
own life.
1t must be lonely life. The audience
that remained to applaud after the
close of the play could not approve
the course of the heroine; yet the
eternal sense of romance could not pre-
