This public is practically ignorant of the work of Arthur Schnitzler.
In Vienna he is extremely postular. That is perhaps the best excuse for
the production "The Affairs of Anatole at the Little Theatre. And "The
Affairs provide a good deal of amusement more perhaps than one
expect in the average evenings entertainment. There are five little scer
each complete in itself, and each dealing with one of the love affairs
Viennese Don Juan called Anatol. The third, which has to do with
lady of the chorus, is by all odds the best; the dialogue rises to the leve¬
real comedy, and the acting of Miss Doris Keane
makes the scene stand out in high relief against the
rather drab background of the rest. The last of
the "Affairs is also amusing in a more boister¬
ous way. Anatol is Don Juan still to the morning
of his wedding day. It goes without saying that the original scenes have
been smoothed down a trifle to meet American requirements, and some¬
thing of the farce comedy has been lost. But at his best Schnitzler is
hardly the genius that he is sometimes supposed to be. It is a case of
distance lending enchantment. His work may have suffered a little in the
station, but he could not complain
otherwise of his treatment at the hands
of Mr. Ames. The cast is excellent. Mr.
Barrymore is just as much at home in
this more subtle kind of farce comedy
as he has been in the rather childish
kind of farce to which his managers
have hitherto condemned him. His man¬
ner is delightfully natural and his per¬
sonality makes an almost intolerable
part thoroughly tolerable. The parts of
the various charmers were lavishly cast
by Mr. Ames. Miss Marguerite Clark
and Miss Gail Kane have little to do
they do it most becomingly. M
Kane carries off the acting
the occasion; while Miss K
met in a quiet scene and
Lee in a noisy one fill th
most satisfactorily.

The Affairs of Anatol, Arthur Schnitt¬
zlers delightful satien on view at the
Little Theatre, has caught the fancy of the
public with its wit and humor. John Bar¬
rymore as Anatol, the volatile young man
to whom to be in love is life, has never had
a role which fitted him so well or in which
he shone to better advantage. In the inter¬
pretation of the five episodes of the comedy
he has the aid of five leading women, who
appear, episodically, in this order: Mar¬
guerite Clark, Gail Kane, Doris cane,
Katherine Emmet and Isabelle Lee. Os¬
wald Yorke appears as Anatol’s satiric
friend Max.
