Saying that "The Fool" is an In
teresting piny ix' like casually re
marking that -rile Him . Hoy" is a
pretty picture or that Shakespeare
was an i .vcellent writer. 'The I'ool"
is the production In whieh the p0i
n!a;iei-s are appearing at the Palace
theater In IfaMl'e.rd this week and
il hit the first-night audience
squarely between the eyes.
"The i'ool" is n play which brings
out strongly the lesson it has to
teach, that success Is not In terms
of dollars and cents. It's a play
that shows how one man with a.
(treat, good ideal sacrificed prac.
tically everything a far as earthly
possessions go so that his ideal
might be carried out. It's a play
that shows money and (he spirit of
brotherly love at cross purposes.
It's a play with a punch.
The Poll players have never done
anything better and it Is doubled
that they have pver put on a play
which has held the audience in its
grip such, as "The I'ool" did last
night. To say that the audience
went wild over the production would
be taking credit away from the play
itself. The piece was too big for
that. Better to say that the audi
ence was stunned by the impact of
the acting and the big emotional
scenes, to remain so until each In
dividual member of (hat audience
reached home, drew a long breath
and said: "What a wonderful play."
Arthur Howard reached dramatic
heights hitherto unsealed by him In
the part of Daniel Gilchrist, the man
who dared to pattern his life after
that of Christ; the man who dared
to preach a Christmas sermon about
the poor and downtrodden in a
fashionable church; the man who
gave up material comfort and gain
so that he might help the under
dog. Howard's part and, in fact,
the entire production, had to be
handled delicately to keep it from
dicnlous, not that the play was ri
diculous, but that highly dramatic
situations, unless they are handled
In the right way and timed precise,
ly, may strike the hysterical emo
tions of an audience and create
laughter. There was no laughter
last night. The audience was too
much impressed for that, and when,
in the third act, the mob enters Gil
christ's welfare headquarters to
"get" him, the atmosphere was as
tense it Is a few moments before
a thunder-storm.
The big climax of th show comes
In that third act, when the members
of the mob. thinking that he Is run
ning th house for evi! purposes,
mock Gilchrist when he says he is
a son of God and defies him to
show them some proof, when Umnn
skl a big- Tolo whom Gilchrist has
befriended- defies the mob in kind,
and when May Margaret a little
cripple whom Gilchrist has be
friended, kneels in prayer and then
walks to Gilchrist without the aid
of her crutches after her benefactor
has been s'abbed by a mad Italian.
Mary Margaret is played by
Claire Nolte, whose dramatic abil
ities are given a greater chance than
they have ever had before. She
practically wrests the first honors
from Miss Oliver, whose part in the
play is not a big one. although com
mendable. Tho cast this week is a
large one and space is not. here
given to mention each one of the
characters. Suffice it to say, that
e,ach member of the company car
ried off his part, no matter how
small, perfectly, or the production
might have been not so successful,
t'manski is played by Bernard
Pteele and the really dramatic situa
tions which come about every time
he Is on the stage, ajteat to his
talents.
Next week the Foil Players will
be seen In "I.lghtnln'." Frank Pa
con's grout masterpiece. Fdniund
Abbey, tbf, company's grand old
man, will be seen In the title role
of "Mghtnin"' Pill Jor.es.
