ABOUT THE PLAY

Sholom Asch's "The God of Vengeance" was first produced by the famous director, Max Reinhardt, at the Deutsches Theatre, Berlin, in 1910, under the personal direction of Rudolph Schildkraut, who also created the role of Yekel. Asch's powerful play quickly made its way to the chief stages of Europe. It has been played all over Germany, Austria, Russia, Poland, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Italy. In Italy it created a marked impression during the entire season of 1916 as it recently did on the Jewish stage in this country when it was produced at The Jewish Art Theatre. Mr. Schildkraut chose Yekel as his first role on the English speaking stage, and it is the third language in which he plays the part. "The God of Vengeance" has been translated into Hebrew, German, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, French and English.

## Scholem Asch.

For første gang presenteres for et norsk publikum den ypperlige jødiske dikter, Scholem Asch, som allerede for-lengst er velkjent overalt.

Scholem Asch er født i 1880 i en liten polsk by, Kutno. Debuterte i 1900 med en novelle på jiddisch og vakte med en gang opmerksomhet i jødiske litterære kretser. I 1903 utkom hans store ly-risk-episie fortelling, «A schtettel» (En småby), som er en av de beste i nyere jiddisch litteratur.

Som dramatiker begynte han i 1904 med «Mitn Schtrom» (Med strømmen), og i 1906, «Muschiachs zeiten» (Mes-

sias tider), som blev opført på jødiske, polske og russiske teatrer.

«Gott fun nekome» (Hevnens Gud) som hadde urpremiere på det jødiske teater i Warschau 1907 og vakte vold- som opsikt, blev samtidig opført av Max Reinhardt i Berlin. Er senere spilt på de fleste teatrer i Europa og Amerika med stor sukces.

Asch er i grunnen mer dikter enn dramatiker, men hans fine poesi, store pa-tos og menneskekunnskap har gitt ham plassen som den produktive skaper av det moderne jødiske drama. Hans ver-ker er oversatt til de fleste europeiske sprog.

Hevnens Gud, 1ste akt i Vilnatruppens opførelse.

## Fremover.

Balkongens næste premiere blir «Pe-riferi» av tsjekkoslavaken Frantizek Langer. Teatrets yngre krefter vil her få store opgaver. «Periferi» har hatt stor sukces i Østerrike og Tyskland. I Wien blev det spilt på Theater in der Josephstadt i Max Reinhardts iscene-settelse.

Derefter kommer Bernard Shaws «Den store Katharina» med fru Mo-winckel som Katharina. Samtidig op-føres enakteren «Bjørnen» av Anton Tsjekov.

Videre kan nevnes «Toni» av Gina Kaus, — et skolepikedrama. «De røde dråper» av Obstfelder, og endelig en engelsk farse, «Just married».

## METTE BULL

Hennes navn er vel kjent hos Oslos publikum. Hun har jo vært knyttet til Nationalteatret i mange år. Hun har gjestet både i Norge og utenfor

landets grenser. Vi vet det er en glede for fru Bull atter å være fast knyttet til et teater.

## SOFIE BERNHOFT

har tilhørt Fahlstrøms teater de fleste år av sitt sceneliv hvor hun bl. a. spilte Naskja i Nattasylet. Fru Bernhoft har hatt et avbrutt teaterliv; hun har vært borte fra Norge i mange år, og bl. a. gjennemreist Amerika hvor hun spilte flere roller både på norsk og engelsk.

## HOLST JENSEN

har vært utrolig lenge ved Centralteatret. I hele 16 år, — bare avbrutt ved en sesongs «gjestespill» ved Nationalteatret.

Vi spør hr. Holst Jensen om han er glad over å være kommet til Balkongen.

«Ja, det er jeg! Det frisker op! Vi skuespillere må ha forandring. Det er ikke av det gode at en skuespiller går under samme instruktør i 5, 10, 15 år. En ny instruktør vil alltid finne nye sider hos oss.»

Teatervidenskap.

I U. S. A. er der innen alle kretser en meget livlig interesse for teater, og dette har gitt sig utslag i undervisningsvesenet. Særskilte avdelinger før dramatisk kunst er nemlig innrettet ved alle skoler og universiteter landet over. Teatret blir studert med samme alvor som filosofi og videnskap. Hvert større college har et fakultet hvor elevene får undervisning i alt som hører til teatrets verden, fra å skrive dramatick til isecenesettelse, dekorasjonsmaling, belysning o. l.

Det å få sine verker i rampelyset, og selv kunne dømme om deres svakheter

og sterke sider er naturligvis av stor betydning for de vordende dramatiske kunstnere.

Det mest kjente av disse «teaterverksteder» er det ved Yales universitet.

Der er innrettet et helt moderne te-
ater med to scener, en stor og en liten.

Mens den større, som har en salong
med plass for 750 tilskuere, anvendes
for mer profesjonelle forestillinger, blir
den mindre brukt som prøvescene. Te-
aterlederen, professor Barker, kan
blandt sine elever regne med en slik
berømthet som Eugen O'Neill.

En ekte Hamlet.

Av Tristan Bernard.

Dengang den berømte engelske skue-
spiller Harvey Schavenchin spilte Ham-
let, og grepet av et plutselig raseri
drepte Polonius som dengang blev spilt
av David Skabby med et virkelig kårde-
stikk, var hele London rystet.

Schavenschin blev stillet for retten,
men da det viste sig at han hadde hand-
let i et slags febervanvidd, blev han fri-
kjent. Man mente at han ikke hadde
vært ansvarlig for hvad han gjorde.

Da han igjen optrådte på scenen, også
denne gang som Hamlet, blev han hilst
med begeistrede ovasjoner. Han spilte
første akt med samme glød som før, og

da han kom til den skjebnesvangre
scene, drepte han også denne gang sin
medspiller som nu var Percy Moanful.

For annen gang blev Schavenchin
ført for retten. Denne gang var saken
mer innviklet, men også nu blev han
frifunnet, men han blev forbudt å spille
Hamlet oftere.

Nu sikret hans teaterdirektør sig en
meget livstrett herre til Polonius' rolle,
og sørget for at hans enke skulde få en
klekkelig erstatning hvis noe hendte.

Dagen før forestillingen lot han inn-
rykke følgende notis i avisene:

«Det forlyder at den tilsynelatende ro
Harvey Schavenchin viser, ikke er til
å stole på. I løpet av de to siste dager
har den sympatiske skuespiller vist ty-
delige tegn på ophisselse.»

Om aftenen var teatret overfylt, og
billettene blev solgt for helt op til 5
pund. Et par minutter før mordscenen
tok direktøren Schavenchin til side.

«Harvey, jeg må be Dem ikke tape
besinnelsen. Men jeg vil også ærlig si
Dem at Jerry Bamboo, som nu «piller
Polonius, ikke bryr sig synderlig om li-
vet. Jeg har også sørget for at fru Bam-
boo skal få en klekkelig erstatning.»

Gunvor Hall.

Den tanke at han så godt som var be-
rettiget til å drepe Bamboo avkjølet
imidlertid Harvey helt og holdent. Og
da han med utropet: «En rotte! En
rotte!» stakk kården igjennem tapetet,
gjorde han det så forsiktig at Bamboo
bare blev ganske lett såret.

Men nu tok publikum det som den
rene slapphet av Schavenchin at de den-
ne gang ikke fikk noe dødsfall å bekla-
ge, og øredøvende larm og piping tvang
ham så til å forlate scenen. Han fikk
ikke engang spille stykket til ende, og
da han næste dag skulde optre, var
spetaklene så faretruende at politiet
måtte gripe inn og forby hans videre
optreden. I det minste som Hamlet.

Et teater for ukjente forfattere.

I høst åpnedes der i Berlin et «teater
for ukjente forfattere». — Man har hit-
til hatt «Det unge teater», men det har
opført sine stykker for en liten litterær
krets søndag middager. Det henven-
der sig til det store publikum. Det nye
teater begynner forestillingene så sent
som kl. 11 for at skuespillerne, som bare
får små gasjer, også kan ha beskjefti-
gelse ved andre teatrer. Det nye foreta-
gende har et overmåte ideelt tilsnitt.
Overskuddet vil komme til å gå til nød-

lidende, begavede kunstnere. En rekke
av Berlins første skuespillere har al-
lerede erklært sig villig til å medvirke
til teatrets realisasjon. — Man vil dess-
uten søke å gi begavede kunstnere som
ikke finner tilstrekkelig utviklingsmu-
lighet ved andre teatrer, leilighet til å
prøve sig. — «Natt-teatret», som det
heter, vil altså gi både de unge for-
fattere og de unge skuespillere en
chance. Grunnleggeren av teatret er
forfatteren Rudolf Steffens.

Forskjellen -!

Den store franske estetiker Boileau
fikk ofte besøk av en adelsmann, men
han gjorde aldrig gjengjeld. Da adels-
mannen engang bebreidet ham dette,
svarte Boileau rolig: «Det er en stor
forskjell på oss, min herre. De for-
driver Deres tid ved å avlegge visiter,
jeg vilde miste den.»

THE MAGAZINE THEATRE PROGRAM

By CORA MOORE

THE renaissance of many things in a fashion way is at hand—bustles, hoops and a thousand lesser fancies from other periods. For the little goddess of dress is in a peculiarly capricious mood after the monotony of the lenten season.

But, alas, nothing so soon loses its illusion as novelty and the whimsicalities of a Spring fashion season are at best not to be taken too seriously, but enjoyed for the moment.

Like us humans, they are as "ships that pass in the night and speak each other in passing," then go on and out into the realm of the forgotten until the urge for resurrecting old fashions takes hold again.

### Revivals Arriving.

At the moment when the Egyptian influence is being stressed most insistently, a group of American dress-makers brings out a collection of bouffant frocks that connects that

influence so emphatically with a modern day and date that the lay person is left in a daze. "What is what?" is the question, and everyone consistently settles it for herself by the interpretation most satisfactory to her individuality.

As a matter of fact, the bustles and the hoops are not so ominous as they sound. The evening frock illustrated is a very pertinent example of the manner in which the hoop skirt

is being translated, and, as for the bustles, far from being the monstrosities the term calls to mind, they are graceful arrangements of sashes or draperies, as likely to appear over the hip as at the center-back.

A skirt of yellow taffeta in two flounces, each flounce made very full and then induced to stand out

a bit more conspicuously by the introduction of plaited ribbon ruffles, is exploited in the model of the sketch. The tiny corsage is of yellow chiffon, of a lighter tone than the taffeta, over a bandeau of the taffeta itself. The finely plaited ribbon is put on in undulating effect and a fold of soft ribbon in a third shade of yellow, this time almost a flame color, forms a girdle with a cart-wheel rosette to conceal its fastening.

The bag and fan, also illustrated, are parts of the costume, each involving the three shades of taffeta used in the frock, and the same plaited ribbon by way of decoration.

### Taffeta.

Taffeta is perennially featured in

Spring, particularly for evening, and certainly no other fabric is a better foil for the more formal of the Summer materials, laces, chiffons or voiles. This year its mission is enhanced by the vogue of figured materials for which plain taffeta has a special affinity.

Sir W. J. ERASMUS
WILSON, M.D., F.R.S.

THE noted British surgeon and philanthropist, Sir Erasmus Wilson, studied at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London, and at Aberdeen. It was while he was editor of the "Lancet" that an awakening of his sympathies with the poor of London led him to take up skin diseases as a special study. The cases of scrofula, anæmia and blood poisoning which he saw made him eager to alleviate the sufferings of persons so afflicted, and he quickly established a reputation for treating this class of patient. It was said that he cured the rich by ordering them to give up luxuries; the poor by prescribing for them proper nourishment, which was often provided out of his own pocket.

England owes to Wilson, in great measure, the habit of the daily bath, and he brought the Turkish Bath into use in Great Britain. He wrote much upon Skin Diseases, and his books, "A Healthy Skin" and "Student's Book of Diseases of the Skin," are textbooks of their subject. He visited the East in order to study Skin-Malnutrition; Switzerland, to investigate the causes of Goitre; and Italy for the purpose of studying a skin disease affecting an ill-nourished peasantry.

He founded in 1869 the chair and Museum of Dermatology in the Royal College of Surgeons, of which he was chosen president in 1881, which awarded him its honorary gold medal. He also founded a professorship of Pathology at Aberdeen University. He was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1881.

Mineralava Beauty Clay is based on the scientific researches of such notable men as Sir Erasmus Wilson. Marion Davies says of Mineralava: "It is the perfect way to a perfect complexion." Hundreds of thousands of home men and women as well as noted beauties of the stage and screen have agreed with this commendation.

What the Man
Will
Wear

Evening.

WHAT really determines the fashion in evening shoes is dancing. In the days of the lancers, the gavotte, the quadrille, the polka and the schottische, all of which were measured, stately dances, the modish boot was the varnished (patent) leather affair with kidskin uppers.

Such a boot, however, is not adapted to the ultra-modern dances which demand litheness and flexibility to the issimo degree. A boot grips the ankle, whipsaws the instep and feels rigid and clumpy. The pump has been virtually dropped, because it has a disconcerting trick of flipping at the heel.

The only two dance shoes approved now-aughts are the varnished (patent) leather laced shoe or Oxford and the creole gaiter with pull-straps and silk elastic side

gores. The Oxford, formerly sanctioned with informal evening dress only, is now countenanced even with ceremonious clothes, because dancing has the floor.

Afternoon.

Not so many years ago the sporting or traveling cap was the badge of the touring Englishman or of the man who borrowed his expressions, facial and linguistic, from England, and who pronounced "really" to rhyme with jelly. Today, like knitted waistcoats and box-cloth gaiters, the cap has been absorbed into the wardrobe of every well-turned-out man.

Portrayed in the foregoing sketch is the cap with a broad, bulging, over-size crown, pleated at the sides, and a strap-effect back. It is procurable in plain colors, as well as in overplaids, shepherds' plaids, checkerboards and like patterns as loud as you can endure sans earmuffs.

### Morning.

Nothing so evolutionary or revolutionary has fallen men's dress in many a moon as the change in the cut of the waistcoat, which has been traced in this column from time

to time, both for day and evening usage. The development of this innovation, which is French, not English, is interesting.

The Frenchman, befitting the proud descendant of Napoleon, *beau sabreur*, who measured five feet, two inches, is, reckoned as a race, short-legged. Hence, he has been in the habit of having his trousers cut very high and his waistcoat cut very short, thus simulating a longer span of limb. Americans, traveling abroad, borrowed the idea and it has become the fashion.

Such a short waistcoat may be double-breasted or single, as illustrated alongside. It is rounded at the bottom, instead of pointed, and has four or five buttons. —BEAUNASH.

## CRUELTY TO NEIGHBORS.

By Dr. B. S. Herben

of the N. Y. Tuberculosis Ass'n

There is much of it going on, and you feel rather helpless before it. When, with kindly intent, your neighbor tells you that you have "exactly the same thing" the matter with you that he had and gives you the remainder of the medicine his doctor prescribed for him, what do you do?

The best thing to do is to voice appreciation and tell him that you are not sure that your illness is the same as was his, and that you are afraid you might have "an idiosyncrasy for that particular kind of medicine." It is true that medicine which will do good for one person may be the very worst thing for another patient, even though symptoms appear similar.

If you are not sick enough to call a doctor, you don't need your neighbor's medicine. If you are really ill, let your physician give you exactly what your condition demands.

## HELMAR

*America's Greatest Value in Cigarettes*

Turkish tobacco is the Purest and Best tobacco for cigarettes and Helmars are a combination of choice varieties of pure Turkish tobacco, each variety selected by experts for its natural aroma and quality.

20 Helmars cost only a few cents more than 20 "ordinary" cigarettes and each Helmar gives several times the satisfaction derived from "ordinary" cigarettes. If you will give them a trial, you will thereafter prefer Helmar.

Packed in cardboard boxes of 10 and 20 to protect the cigarettes from breakage.

THE man who does the most boasting about his honesty isn't always the one in whom you can place the most confidence. In our advertisements, therefore, we have always tried to temper enthusiasm with restraint.

On hundreds of thousands of cars Kelly-Springfield tires are daily telling their own story of dependability and long, uninterrupted mileage—a story beside which anything we could write would seem feeble.

This advertisement therefore is just a reminder that now
