FIRST.NIGHT SHOWS
LACKING IN LONDON
Several Interesting Productions,
Now Being Tried in Provinces,
Soon to Reach Capital.

LONDON (NAN.A).-With the ex-
ception Of a revival Of Strindberg's grim
psychological study, THE Father" at
the Little Everyman Theater at Hamp-
stead. things have bene rather quiet in
the matter of first nights
Several interesting productions, how
ever, which are now being tried out in
the provinces and at some Of the larger
seaside resorts are destined for London
next month.
The chief Of these probably is Ashley
Dukes adaptation Of Lien Feuchtwang-
er's fine novel Of eighteenth century
German, Jew Suss." which Is being
played at Blackpool and Manchester
before coming to the Duke Of Yorks
Theater In q few weeks time.
The play II q good melodrafna, finely
staged and produced, and Matheson
Lang gives an excellent performance as
Suss. He II portrayed In the various
stages Of his rise to power, first turning
aside ridicule and abuse with his wit
to ii1sinuate himself into favor, and Of.
fering schemes for the enrichment Of
the despotic Karl Alexander's purse,
and afterward, when he has become
court treasurer and has attained power,
becoming calm, cynical and impersonal.
Mr.. Lang finely conveys the spiritual
tragedy of Suss, and his acting alone
should assure long run for the play
when 1t comes to London.
