TIME MAGAZINE
Anatol, written in 1893, was Dr.
Arthur Schnitzler's first play, an ironic,
sentimental chronicle of love in Vienna.
Though it breathes of pre-War matinee¬
idolatry (John Barrymore played Gran¬
ville-Barker's able translation of it in
1912), it has yet some durable qualities
wit, grace, ebullience. Viennese Joseph
Schildkraut plays Anatol unevenly, not
always bringing him to life. Offstage
waltzes by Johann Strauss gave the pla¬
authentic Alt Wien atmosphere, which is
almost all it needs. The plot" is merely
a half-dozen amorous episodes, uncon¬
nected except by the busy hero. Best per¬
formance is that of Patricia Collinge,
subtle and wistful as a lady who might
have loved Anatol but never dared
Blonde Miriam Hopkins is raucously
amusing as a guzzling showgirl.
