Through the earnest efforts Of the
players and the capable handling Of the
director a creditable performance of
Ansky's mystic play The Dybbuk" was
given last night by the Jewish Center

Calling for large cast with half
dozen or so outstanding roles, this
work offers opportunity for highly
dramatic Interpretation. Taking for its
theme the old Jewish tradition that
famous rabbis of the Middle Ages were
credited with possessing extraordinary
mystic powers and the ability to read
the minds of men. the English version
of the play last night, which is the
work of Henry Alsberg of New York is
said to follow faithfully the original

C0LUMBIA--"Laugh, Clown, Laugh"
Lon CLANCY. the makeup manipu-

seen this week, at the Columbia The
ater in his latest film. Laugh. Clown
Laugh" The picture is, of course, based
on the BclaSco play by that name, in
which Lionel Atwill starred four or five
years ago.
The photoplay follows the original
manuscript quite closely until the final
scene when Tito, the clown, heart
broken and despairing, takes his life. A
simple suicide may be all right for a
clown on the spoken stage, but accord
ing to the ways of the movies a clown
must take his life in a manner worthy
of his profession Mr.. CLANCY accom-
plisheS his demise by sliding down
tiehtrope on his head and plunging
into an orchestra pit, fracturing his
skull.
The story is simple enough, Tito suf-
fers from the trouble which, according
10 stories. seems to be so common with
clowns He must make the world laugh,
while he is fraught with sadness, He
meets young nobleman who suffers
from q malady even stranger than this
he just can't stop laughing They
find themselves a solace to each other
and a famous friendship springs, but
this only leads to tragedy for Simonet-
ia. Tito's pretty ward. gives her affec-
tions to the nobleman just at the time
Tito is thinking of asking her to marry
him,
All things considered. the picture
seems to be quite an Improvement on
the play, due chiefly, of course. to the
chameleon-l like Mr.. Chaneys portrayal
of the clown. 1t is doubtful II there is
an actor living who could even ap-
proach Mr.. Chaney's clowning.
Although il is not generally known
Mr. CLANCY received his early dramatic
training from his parents in his in
fancy. Both his mother and father
were deaf, and the infant CLANCY learn
ed to use the sign language ere he
learned to speak. AS facial expressions
and gestures play a large part in the
language of the deaf. this early train
ing undoubtedly had large part in
making CLANCY the past master in ex-
preston that he is And in Laugh,
Clown, Laugh" he Is given an ample
opportunity TO use his talents.
The remainder of the cast Is more
than adequate. Loretta Young making
a charming Simonetta Herbert Bren-

good.
