FORUM
Wants Diversified Programs.

Radio Editor:
1t gives me extreme pleasure to in
dorse your suggestion in the Behind
the Microphone" column in The Sun
day Star of December 8, that some of
the principal features of the network
programs be reconstructed in the in
terest of diversity.
I, too, have been bored by the con-
slant repetition of certain of these pro-
grams. 1t seems to me that If the
sponsors of these programs go to such
great expense and trouble as you indi-
Gated, to procure the best talent. they
would show sufficient interest to change
the type of the presentations OCCASION
ally Personally, prefer good dance
music such as is provided by B. A.
Rolfe's Lucky Strike Orchestra, an out
standing dramatic sketch like the
Mystery House" serial, and light operas
or their musical scores.

Williamsburg, Colonial capital of Vir-

Mr.. Ford, accompanied by Mrs. Ford

of several million dollars. The party
also visited Yorktown.

as one could wish, and he makes the
old fellow step from his pages to strut
his raScality so attractively that one
can see him only through the eyes OF
Mrs. Pepys, and she saw him, and
through him, clearly enough. Without
Mrs. Pepys he might have been merely
interesting.
Eugene Leontovich has made of Mrs.
Pepys such a delightful and charming
shrew of a wife that her husband takes
on a glamour and fascination the
wretch never deserved. Her delinea-
ton sparkleS with rare humor and un-

with a resounding bang at the National

was the introduction of Roger Pryor
as the new Leading man of the National
Theater Players. Cast in the role of

demonstrated capabilities which left no
room for doubt as to his popularity with
National followers during the Summer.
Roger Pryor has made his way into

years on the American stage. His last

he left after the Chicago run to come

ADJUSTMENTS
BELAsCo-"The Wild Duck"

An inelastic performance of Ibsen's
"The Wild Duck" lacking in dramatic
fastidiousness, was offered last night at
the Belasco Theater, with Blanche
Yurka starred in the role of Gina, by
the Actors Theater, Inc.
This play Of IbSen's, written when
he was Sc, was conceived essentially as
a sardonic comedy. It has been pointed
out that the theme represented Ibsen
in as nearly "rollicking" mood as he
ever came in his life. Yet from the
very nature and technique of the play
wright himself, it is impossible to dis
sociate the work from the emotional
and philosophic complication that i'm
bued all his plays; it is virtually the
first play of his in which symbolism
assumed a major significance.
THE Wild Duck" the second of a
trilogy, actually presented IbSen's
"ghastly mockery" of some of his own
earlier idealiSm. 1t was literal turn
about in his dramatic attitude: in his
pessimistic denunciation of truth-tell-
Ing here he is assailing what he had
most passionately championed before.
The result might well be confusing in
its mixture of satire and tragedy. With
frequently obscurely placed emphasis
upon the conflicting satiric and tragic
values of its dialogue and defamation,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-05-07

THE Wild Duck" as much as it repre-
sents the author in an approximation
to entertaining theater," is not an easy
thing to act convincingly. What is eS-
sentially necessary is to discriminate
between the values of righteous, If mis-
guided, idealiSm embodied in the main
roles, and the deeply tragic effects of
this misguidance. This, in the review
erS opinion, is what the company last
broadly, quite broadly enough to win
the audiences laughter, but in the sue
cessiye Somber climaxes the piece rang
false, lacking SensitivenesS.
Miss Yurka, playing the stolid, prac-
teal Kina, offered her victimiZation in
the guise of listless, slow-witted reSig-
nation, eliminating in strident re-
sentiment, more the rebellion Of an Irish
maid, in character and accent, than
that of the sorely beset woman that
she was.
The role of Hialmar Ekdal, demanding
a shading between Sanctimonious self
pity and a desperate sense of wrong,
did not find 1t in the Interpretation of
Dallas Anderson. Called upon. accord
ing to the most understanding rendi-
ton of his part, to display the fanatical
outburst of his whole diseased idealism,
he merely succeeded in ranting and
throwing chairs ab:ut. This feeble de-
vice of throwing chairs must be classic
in the role; this reviewer recalls a per-
Torrance of THE Wild Duck" by the
company of Lugne-Poe in Paris last
Summer, when the same juvenile dis
play was resorted to. Some one could
make himself more effective, it would
seem, by falling to throw chair at the
crucial moment.
Cecil Clovelly, playing Gregers Werle,
the inspiration of Ekdals cruelty toward
his wife and daughter, missed the cum
ming and pious delusion the character
tzation requires, presenting his idealist
as an almost apologize guileless man,
without true fever.
Bette Davis, assuming the minor but
difficult role of the martyred Hedwig,
played by Nazimova in Arthur Hopkins
presentation of THE Wild Duck" in
New York In 1913. seemed to anpeal to

the audience with her studied insouci-
ance. So also did John DAILY Murphy,
playing Lieut. Ekdal, doddering bur-
lesqued old lelic of once mighty days.
Relling conlnon-sense spokesman of the
piece, was offered effectively by Frank
Monroe.
Others playing were Edward Fielding
as Werle, Claire Townsend as Mrs. Sor-
by, Walter Speakman as ,Molvik, Robert
Craig as Peterson, Bernard Thornton,
Richard Skinner and John Clarke as
the three chamberlains.
In the elements of quip and exag-
gerated piosity, the play may be said
to have registered well last night. The
satire. if broadly done, was well done
theatrically. Sharp sketches of what
we now regard as Shavian wit thrust
through the gloomy pattern, Ibsen in
mood he displayed in no other work.
The tempo of the performance was we'll
calculated; it did not lack speed and
good development in its major moods.
But sensitive it was not.
POLPS-"And So to Bed"
The philandering philosophy, or the
philoSophic philandering of the late
Samuel Pepys, who made himself i'm
mortal by actually keeping diary in
stead of planning to keep one, is spread
bCAOAC 40 AGAIN IAAAo WEN nO SAA
Theater, and those who have not seen
this production of Fagan's comedy, with
the gifted Eugene Leontovich as Mrs.
Pepys, must not allow the opportunity
to pass. The admirable Pepys wrote
his own comedy, SO Mr.. Fagan's chief
task was to give it proper stage set
ting, adaptation and to use his own
Imagination merely to prolong it a
few pages beyond the point where Mr.
Pepys left off. This he did. as the
world now knows, and with such sue
cess that it has delighted hundreds of
audiences hundreds of times. But its
freshness and its charm remain, as
Pepys diary remains. to entertain a
world that is the same old world Of
which Mr.. Pepys so frankly and so
understandingly wrote.

money and in domestic difficulties at
the end Of the first year. He and the
wife, however, straighten out their diff
f1culties and decide to begin all over
again--and there ends the story.
There iSanothing startling about it, no
revelations, philosophical flights, or
anything of that sort. 1t is just a
homely little comedy which goes over
