At ihe Little Theatre wet night the Artelphi Play
Society produced for the first time in England

Schnitzlers-os Märchen.“ Thore had been vome
speculation as to the attitude of the representitive

who has loved too well,“ and afterwards
deeply resents the impise bie law which labels her
a social outcast, a law, ebe maintains, framed by the
selfishness of man, who is first the seducer and
afterwards the judge.
The play, which was inteusely human in develop¬
ment, was marked by brilliant dialogue, far removed
from the weakly epigrammatie type It had the
advantage of fine individual acting. Miss Penelope
Wheeler, as Fanny Theren, gave a study which was
a beautiful expression of temperament, playing with
charm and well-sustained for. The second act
was perfectly handled by Mr. Leslie Gordon, as
Fedor Dennor, and Miss Wheeler. Their work
througbout was admirable, Mies Wüceler displaying
emotional gifts of a high order.
Mr. Maurice Elvey gave excellent characteriantiau
to the rüle of Robert Weil, the artist and Bocomian.

devoid of sparkle, and the story told was not of the
