Ml 23 'Mulatto' Dramatizes Racial Issues The Philh armonic Flays Again In Next Week's New Plays The Theater Music of the Day By ARTHUR POLLOCK BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1935 B. II. 1IAGGIN: liiiiiiiiif iiiit! 1 T( )Cm 1 i'-v a Play by a Negro Poet About the Tragedy of Being Colored in the South, Comes to the Vanderbilt Theater A GOOD deal of warmth of feeling and sincerity has gone into the writing of "Mulatto," the play that came to the Vanderbilt Theater last night, but Langston Hughes, the Negro poet and story writer who is its author, Is not an adept in getting his Ideas into shape for the theater and as a result the play is frail. Nor does the acting, all of it save that of Rose McClenndon, serve the bet of Mr. Hughes' purposes.

"Mulatto" cannot expect to get much attention from the public, a fact which will no doubt not surprise the author. It tells once more of the lot of the black man and the light brown in our South, men freed long before the blacks of Ethiopia, for Instance, Klemperer Conducts Philharmonic in Varied Program The concert of the Philharmonic-Symphony Society at Carnegie Hall last night began with a fine performance of Schumann's Overture to Byron's "Manfred," a work that is Impressive throughout, but most of all in its beginning and end, in which the sense and feeling and mood of the poem are most perfectly realized, I find myself in disagree, ment with Mr. Sargeant not only concerning the merits of Mr. Klemperer as a conductor but concerning his merits, in particular, as a conductor of romantic music. What we disagree about, basically, is the proper relation between traditions of performance and the printed directions for per formance in the composer's score; and this I must leave to another time.

All I can say now is that Mr. Klem- perm's adherence to the printed di- c. Beethoven has oHv. it. thai Mulatto' A play by Langston Hughes.

Presented at the Vandrbllt Thtat.tr by Martin Jones. Staged by Mr. THB CAST: Cora Lewie Rose McCltnndon William Lewla McKenney Col.

But the horn of today is not restricted in this, way; and every conductor gives th theme to the horns when it returns, because he knows that Beethoven would do so himself. Mr. Klemperer, however, adheres to the letter or th score and has the theme played by the bassoons, spoiling the effect of the passage. And yet In the Scherzo when Beethoven prescribes slight retarda Hons Mr. Klemperer makes big ones; without any authorization from Beethoven he takes the return of the Scherzo at a slower pace than its first statement; he makes the customary fade-out into plants.

sissimo; and most amazing of all-he silences the horns and trumpets where they are directed to play, shortly after the opening of the Finale.

It is in a work like Havdn's Svm. phony No. 13 (B.

H. No. 88) that Mr. Klemperer's inadequacies of technique and style become apparent and serious his ability to produce the finely drawn and sensitized tone, the transparency of texture, amone other thines. that are essential: his lack of the blitheness and geniality of spirit that is in Haydn.

Beethoven comes off with better effect under this snher straightforward treatment though as i nave observed before, with all the effect a great interpreter can give him. And his Fifth Symphony was effective last night in the simplicity, directness and power that it had in Mr. Klemperer's performance. But its effect was rllmlnicho1 casionally by his excessive zeal for simplicity and directness, hi. infer ence on the letter of the score even at tne cost of the effect of the music.

The verv beeinninc nt th. first movement was harmed In this way oy Mis refusal to hnlri th eluding note of the theme as long as it is customarily held. Beethoven I take it. wanted the note held the second time longer than the firr and indicated this by writing it first as one half-note with a formoto -h then as two tied half-notes with a termata. leaving it to the conductor to judge how long each was to be held to give the nroner rtent structural balance.

Mr. takes thp timp -Voltlnc in literally, giving the Dassairi. tho ef fect of a column that is over. Again, the so-called second thsjme in flat, is nlnvpri htr th. when it returns later in the key of YIDDISH THEATER Llllllh Star Wuale.l FISHEL der GERUTENER Irrlng; Gmsamai.

Tai CHILDREN HALF PRICE All MatlSMg but nevertheless not treated even now In a fashion that can be called civilized. The difficulty In being enthusiastic about "Mulatto" arises from the fact, I think, that, though the author ought to know his Georgia from the Negro point of view better than a white man, he knows his theater very littlej And In manipulating his characters and his story he permits them, for lack of skill, to seem as false and faulty as the great majority of plays by his white brothers. Also, ardent as he Is in his love for his people, he rannot give them a complete appearance of reality or make their talk and their actions verisimilar. Particularly In writing down their talk does he fail. The play of a poet ought to have In it a little more of the flavor of rich Negro speech than the play of ft white hack.

And yet the talk of the folk In this one is hackneyed. We see in the play the home of a Colonel Norwood, a kindly old fellow who lost his wife years before and then took into his home as housekeeper and mistress the black Cora Lewis. By her he has had four illegitimate children, some of them black, others mulattos. He has been good to them, sent some of them away up North to be educated, and then found the educated ones a problem. His neighbors and friends think him crazy.

Whatever they think, by his actions when we see him, he is a fool and, in spite of his kindness, a weak man. Mr. Hughes, intentionally or otherwise, permits him to be one of his least believable characters and fumbling One of his mulatto sons comes home from school right back among the people who saw him grow up, to defy them, argue with them, tempt them, to exterminate him. He wajks In the front door Instead of the back, crowds white men off the road when without permission he drives the colonel's car. And he wants his father's money when the "Good Mpn and True," a comedy cnncocted by Frank Merlin and Brian Marlow, will arrive tonight Rt the Biltmore Theater.

The dramatis personae are Martha Sleeper, Harriet Cabot, Vera Marshe and Weldon Heyburn. Otis Skinner will come to Brooklyn Tuesday evening at 8:15, when he will give a lecture at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Mr. Skinner will discuss "Footlights and Spotlights." Tonight at the Maxlne Elliott's Theater "The Children's Hour" reaches its 400th performance. The event is a significant one, for since the opening of the theater Dec.

30, 1908, only one play tenanting this 39th Street Theater has displayed more endurance. Jeanne Eagles, In "Rain," saw the curtain rise and fall for 648 performances. Ethel Barry-more, in "The Constant Wife," played 295 times at this theater. If the proportion of the advance sale of tickets for "The Children's Hour" is to be taken as an indicator, this production should play well into 1936. Florence McGee, who portrays Mary Tilford, that sweet little lass who delights the audience so much with her lovable qualities (grrr-r-r-r-rumph) in this play, spoke yesterday before "The Lecture Group," a subsidiary of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Society of New York.

Jtt iflpmnrtam The Brooklyn Labor Theater's demise is announced with heartfelt sorrow. Their production of "Take My Stand" and "Till We Turn" passed away at the Brooklyn Little Theater this past Monday. Interment of the remains has not yet taken place, however, as several attempts to resuscitate those plays will be made at a number of benefits which have been arranged by those who survive. After these benefits th-. group believes it will enjoy reincarnation in their next production, which is yet to be decided.

Because there will be special matinees of Earl Carroll's "Sketch Book" on Tuesday. Nov. 5. Election Day, and Monday, Nov. 11, Armistice Day, at the Majestic Theater, the regular Wednesday matinees will be omitted both weeks, in keeping with Mr.

Carroll's policy of never surpassing eight performances a week. We're not stringing you. along then we tell you that a certain twine company has bought the entire house for the first four nights of next week to see the Damon Lindsay comedy, "A Slight Case of Murder." The large purchaser needs that many seats for entertainment Oi employes and friends as it celebrates le 15th anniversary of the founding of the firm. Can you tie that?

Such yellow boys as he live, no doubt, and are as unwise as he, but the author is not successful in picturing the type or the individual. This boy exists only for purposes of argument. He talks back to his father, defies him, and when the old man draws a gun to shoot him strangles him to death, escaping then Into the swamps only to run back home again when he sees that he has no chance to avoid a lynching. His sister, of his same color, a eft. who loves poetry above all else, is raped meanwhile.

And his poor old mother, following the call of blood, is unfalteringly loyal to him, brave and true. This Is the role Rose McClenndon plays, and when It gives her a chance she Is superb. Morris Mc-Kenney plays her oldest and darkest son and plays him well, while Hurst Amyx and Jeanne Greene struggle with the problem of indicating a color they have not. They are the two mulatto children, Amyx playing the insanely daring boy who brings about the tragedy. This is a modest adventure of Mr.

Hughes' and not so successful as the work of a colored poet writing of the troubles of his race should be. Not nearly. You feel that all he has In mind Is true and pitiful, but what he puts before you is merely a bad play, Composer Joseph Rumshinsky, whose operetta, 'Fishel der is playing these days at the Yiddish Folks Theater Beautiful." The comedy, which opens Sunday evening at the Plymouth Theater, with Polly Walters as protagonist, will also be previewed Saturday night by members of the Young Folks League for Hebrew Infants. This play is not a genre play of burlesque, we are assured. It is a comedy dealing with the life and art of a so-called "interpretive" danseuse whose origin happens to be in a burlesque troupe.

Celie Adler, who was cast in "Mother," the Theater Union production, which opens Tuesday evening, Nov. 19, at the Civic Repertory Theater, has withdrawn from the play because of a disagreement as to the interpretation of her role. Miss Adler's contract has been abrogated by mutual consent. Fifl D'Orsay, famous Fienc stage and screen star, has received an offer from Earl Carroll to appear in a starring role for his forthcoming edition of the "Vanities," which is now in rehearsal. If he accepts it will mark her initial venture on, the Broadway musical stage.

OUie Alger has been retained by Alex Yokel to serve as company manager of the next unit of "Three Men on a Horse," which ill open Monday at Ford's Theater, Baltimore, and go to the Plymouth Theater, Boston, on Nov. 4. Mr. Alger has been both general manager for the late Henry Miller and for the Henry Miller Theater, as well as for Erlanger and Dillingham. Contrary to usual practice, the Group Theater has gone outside its own ranks in casting one of the roles in "Weep for the Virgins." and has just signed Evelyn Varden for an important role in the Nellise Chili play.

Stanley Ridges has been replaced by Earle Larimore in the cast of Clare Booth Brokaws "Abide With Me," which will arrive In New York late in November, with James Ren-nie and Cecelia Loft us in the other leading roles. The play went into rehearsal yesterday under the direction of John Hayden, who staged "The Night of January 16th." Joyce White, musical comedy comedienne, has been engaged for the comedy lead In "Satellite," the new play by Kerry Shaw and Joseph Mitchell, which is now in rehearsal under the direction of John Cameron.

Max Reinhardt, who arrived to-dayl from Hollywood, will begin arranging details of production for "The Road of Promise" immediately, so that rehearsals may begin within a few days. He will also begin preliminary conferences with Bernard S. Deutsch, president of the Board of Aldermen, concerning plans for the proposed New York Festival in the World's Fair to be held In Queens in 1939. It is believed that the New York Festival will be operated along lines similar to the Salzburg Festival, which occurs annually in Salzburg, Austria. "Twelfth Night" will be presented tonight and tomorrow afternoon as the first of a serie of Shakespearean performances at the Washington Square College Center of New York University under the auspices of the dramatic art department.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is pro grammed for next week.
