Evening star., 1938-11-08

by Uta Hagen and Richard Whorf
The former is newcomer, young
and extremely pretty, who gives a
brilliant Interpretation of the diff
ficult role of the ambitious country
girl. One suspects that the long
melodramatic scene between the girl
and the son in the final act might
have creaked with age were there
less fascination in the portrait
created by Miss Hagen and the
highly qualified Whorf. Miss Hagen
obviously belongs in the fast COM
pany with which she is travelling,
which is much to say.
The one change in the character
of the mother, played by Miss Fon-
taine, since this department first saw
it, is the discarding of the red wig
which lent it bit of overaccent. And
which may have been discarded for
that reason. OF Trina. she makes
one of the most heartlesS, bitter
women ever trapped behind the
footlights by that ogre, middle age
Lightest touch given to any of
the characters which Chekhov Gre
ated for his tragedy IS that which
Mr.. Lunt imparts to Boris Trigorin,
the novelist. Trigorin is frustrated
only in his desire to stop writing
long enough to fish, Illustration
which seems Of minor Importance
in view of his artistic success in the
fields of writing and finding women
to charm him. His most memorable
scene is that in which he manages
picture of helpless loneliness which
completely enchants the girl who
admires his fame and his writing
Next among the vivid impressions
which are carried from the theater-
although it probably is too late to
avoid the charge of heresy-iS the
scene in which Miss Fontanne
charms her lover from the girl. 1t
must be one of the most beautifully
managed affairs ever staged, whether
the playwright be Robert Sherwood,
S. N. Behrman or Anton Chekov.
Subordinate characters are played
with the same sure touch Us the
principals. Sydney Greenstreet is
no less than excellent as the retired
councillor musing his life away and
the same is true of Margaret Wal
ler John Barclay, S. Thomas Gomez,
George Meader and Edith King.
The two settings, a Russian garden
overlooking lake and a dank look
ing living room in a country house,
by Robert Edmund Jones are atmos-
pherically effective.

luster that bellies its age and makes
one forget that science recently has
been hard at work on a swan song
for the humane letters of the Cos.
More briefly, the play becomes
excellent theater without reference
to its date or nationality.
The Sea Gull" obviously is a
play of importance to the Lunts.
And, they do their usual highly
polished job of communicating that
Importance to the audience. Ad-
mirers of their amazing flair for
comedy may be disappointed.
Others willing to follow the Lunts
wherever the way may lead will find
themselves amply rewarded. In this
instance the reward is a good eve
ming of unadulterated grimness.
In a day when Shakespeare's
Comedy of Errors" is adapted as
a musical comedy called THE Boys
From Syracuse the reverence
shown for Chekhov becomes the
more marked. He wrote tragedy
about a group of middle-class Rus
slams of the COS and that is pre-
cisely what the Lunt company por-
trays. The characters, all of them
frustrated and beaten by life at
every turn, are headed by middle
aged actress; her morbid, dreaming
son; her successful novelist lover,
who prefers fishing to the goading
lash of his creative talent; young
country girl with ambitions to be-
come an actress: retired civil
officer who uses his useless time to
muse upon the fact that he missed
his two goals in life, literature and
marriage. The miscellany of others
are equally the victims of evil cir
cumstance but M. Chekhov man.
aged to conceal their pain more
effectively by making them more
dull and unimportant.
In scrambling these defeated,
despairing humans into variously
intimate relationships in which they
succeed in intensifying their indi-
vidual and collective despair, The
Sea Gull" finds few occasions Tor
humor. The flashes Of it that illu-
inmate the course of the action are
pale and rare although they are
played for their ultimate value,
especially and most successfully by
Mr.. Lunt and Miss Fontanne
The parts they play, those Of the
actress and her novelist lover, are
secondary, in a way, to those of the
girl, Nina, and the tortured son,
Constantine, which are interpreted

sympathetic fellows, able to size up
folks and embark them on boats
