Schnitzlers „Liebelei“ zu teil, die im Afternoon Theatre

Zwar war Henry Ainley viel zu feierlich und ernsthaft in der
Rolle des leichtsinnigen und flatterhaften Fritz Lobheimer, während
Margaret Halstan als Christine nicht ganz den hochgradigen Schmerz
zum Ausdruck brachte, den das Mädchen in dem Augenblick empfinden
muß, da es mit der Todesnachricht die Gewißheit erhält, daß sein
Geliebter es mit einer verheirateten Frau betrogen hat. Dagegen
befriedigten M. R. Hignett als Haus Weiring und Miß M. Busse

lich in der Rolle des alten Geigers.

Not much need be written concerning Lipht o“
Love. It does not quite belong to the class of
Tplays which we expect at the Afternoon Theatre,
being a German domestic drama of a conventional
scharacter, with some hazy philosophy thrown in.
The said philosophy emanates from the father of
ithe seduced heroine. He is understood to advocate
#free love? unions on the ground that you can
only be young once, and that, while you are, it
is best to“ have your fling,“ at any rate. This
doctrine appears to work badly in his daughter’s
case. Christine Weiring, the child of an old
violinist, is carrying on a love affair with a young
#man of fashion name Fritz Lobheimer He is
iseriously enamoured of a married woman, and
Christine is only his “ light o’ love,“ and is scon
supping with him in company with his friend
Theedor Kaiser and an andacions little prisette
called Mizi Schlager. There are the usual accom¬
paniments of a Bohemian supper, which is inter¬
rupted by the entrance of the husband, who has
discovered the intrigue between Fritz and his
wife, and comes to demand satisfaction. In the
second act Fritz calls on Christine at her humble
home, and, after a scene of amorous expansion,
bids her good-bye—she does not know that he is
going to fight a duel. In the last act, Kaiser
comes to tell her that Fritz has been killed, and
she extracts from him the truth about the married
woman.“ What, then, was I to him?“ she cries
frantically; and goes out, apparently to commit
snicide, for the father, looking pensively from
the window, says, She will never come back.“
More care and pains were bestowed upon the play
than it intrinsically merited. That earnest and
much admired young actor Mr. Henry Ainley
was cast for the part of Fritz Lobheimer, and
played it with a tragic intensity and desperate
Lenergy which made his performance very poignant
indeed. Mr. Ainley is always picturesque, and his
Tappearance as the harassed libertine was at times
quite Byronic. Mr. Charles Maude supplied a neat
and lively embodiment of Theodor Kaiser, and Mr.
I. R. Hignett gave a refined and pathetic repre¬
Isentation of the elderly parent with the amiable
but dangerous thcories of life. Mr. James Hearn
held the audience in an iron grip by the intensity
of his expression of hate as the Gentleman; and
Miss Margaret Halstan grappled with the part of
Christine with striking skill and courage, her treat¬
ment of the harrowing scene in the last act being
Preplete with emotional expression and marked by
dramatie power of a high order. Miss Margaret
Bussé made a very bright and piquant Mizi:
Schlager, the“ casy virtue“' of the girl being
effectively indicated; and Miss Sydney Fairbrother
contributed a smart little skeich as a spiteful
scandal-monger. The matinée concluded with what
was described as Au Episode in Dumb Show. A
Cavalier and à Cheat, in costumes of the Charles II.
period, are sitting in an inn playing cards. After
a while the Cheat takes a card from bis boot, but
he is at once detected by the Cavalier; and al
fight with swords and daggers follows, the Cavalier
being eventually overpowered and slain, and thel
Cheat slinking out. Tho fight, which was a very
thrilling one, had been admirably arranged by Mr.
Felix Bertrand; and Mr. Reynolds Schmahl as ##
Cavalier and Mr. Clifford Heatherley as the Chest
carried out that expert swordsman's directions wih
marvellous activity and energy.
