dreadful plays.
Boosting no star Of great repute to

offers in vivid, shrewd and moving
drama perhaps the best all-around
road company that has come to
Washington in half a decade. The
only assembly that could compare
with 1t was the Madge Kennedy Otto
Kruger road show of Private Lives"
and that. after all, was matter of
light portent, while the present drama
on Lafayette Square may best be de-
scribed as serious entertainment
serious because it relates the tragedy
of a great Irish leader whose ambi-
ton and life we're literally sacrificed
on the altar of his love for charm

Elsie Schauffler;s script was designed
with a keen eye for box Office values
and an unerring deftness of char
acteriZation.
Charles Stewart Parnell was 20

County Wicklow. Ireland, and began

land He was "a when he became
leader of the Irish Nationalist party,
and the same year he met Mrs. Katie
O'Shea. Thereafter their lives were
fatefully interbound, until the day
when a divorce suit in which he was
named as correspondent thwarted
Parnell's fond hope of leading the
Irish to freedom, left him an i'll, pow

elements of that intangible known as
'theater," OF a dime novel. of high
powered Hollywood love drammy. Of
all the eloquent legends that are dear
to romantic literature
1t is pleasure to report that Miss
Schauff1er sustained the story on its
highest level throughout the telling,
and that none Of the players in the
Belasco company has violated the
spirit of that conception.

the sincerity, dignity and force Of his
effort Is not to be denied.
AS for the lesser thespians, they
were 50 excellent, with a minor excep-
ton here and there, that 1t is almost
unfair to single out a few for praise.
If the BelaSco establishes an academy
award for bit players, however, it will
undoubtedly go to Ralph Culinan for
his portrayal Of a sturdy Irish patriot.
while Nell Harrison, Herbert Duffy,
Edmond O'Brien and Alexander Frank
will be close up in the race for honors.
The latter has the juicy role of Glad

zation which Mr.. Frank played for its
pictorial values as much as anything

obscured the pointed significance writ

say, difficult to stop-but best leave
it to your sound judgment to decide
who among the others was best, and
