GUILD OFFERS
SCHNITZLER
DRAMA
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

The fourth play of the New
York Theater Guilds Washing
ton season, Arthur Schnitzler's
THE Lonely Way" opened a
weeks engagement at the Ma
tional Theater last night.
While the program describes
1t as a tragic-comedy, the five
acts are so stepped in somber
gloom, so shot through with
Oppressive moods, not hi g
approaching a leavening levity
penetrates the five pessimistic
Stanzas.
Very Unhappy People
You are asked to suffer with
and understand the tribulations
of the Wegrat family. The older
folks are all seemingly living in
a world of regrets. The younger
generation, who might be expected
to embrace life with the eager
ness and zest of youth, have
morbid repressions, pitiful long
ings and uncertainty about their
futures. This Saturnalia of self
pity and griefS traces back to
the early indiScretion of the
mother and a secret sorrow over
a blighted romance which carries
through to her death and spreads
its influence over her children.
However brilliant and absorbing
"The Lonely Way" may have ap
peared in the manuscript, trans
ferred to the living realities OF
the footlights the set of char
acters provide nothing more than
a dull play. Moreover, for this
critic, who yearned hopefully for
a ray of sunshine in the envelop'
ing sadness, the causes OF Stephen
Won Sala's oppression were
slightly obscured. Either am
a stupid clod or Playwright
Schnitzler's subtleties escaped me
Either way was an uncertainty
that destroyed the illusion of a
completed fabric.
Play Is Well Cast
The Guild, as usual, has done
well by the casting. It is not
the fault of the actors that the
story they tell is so colored by
drab pigments only mild inter
est is maintained for the listeners.
For this is a play which must
be listened to, since there is
little of engaging action.
