No need here to ponder on the
correctness Of. the Arliss ideo-
logue. Shakespeare's vagueness
Of intent, makes him a gem
Of elasticity and he is stretched,
willy-nilly to conformity with
this interpreters or that inter-
prefers idea of what's what.
Our own stage has given un-
countable facets to the character
OF Shylock and the very lure of
the comedy lies in its promise
to collectors of one more bust
for their gallery. AS against
Hampden or Warfield, Arliss,
it seems to me, has the clearest-
cut vignette.
If there is any moment in the
play when pity exerts itself for
ShyIock, it is that moment when
he discovers Jessica's elopment
with q gentle and her larceny
of his ducats. His yaporings,
hereat, usually cudgelled us into
believing he was a sore-beset
man. This scene Mr.. Arliss has
omitted and what feeling you can
have for this ShyIock as a con-
sequence must come from a heart
too mushy to beat out its allotted
span.
The Arliss voice and makeup
is revelatory of the artist inside
of him. Most of~shis utterances
are sibilants. escaping from
clenched teeth, though his die
ton is perfect. Peggy Wood is
a most lovely and natural Portia.
She has the freshness of the
modern manner and the voice: of
course, the voice. A further
editing Of the script finds the
Prince of Morocco, a voluble
fellow with sly eyes and gay
manners. rather than the morose
Moor of certain other editions.
Through adroit masking, one
set is used throughout the II
scenes, a compliment to the craft
which stages the production.
