Leia JEWISH ART THEATRE OPENS The Jewish Art Theatre can be oald to have justified Its existence with Its presenta- tion of "The Idle Inn' ("Die Paste Kretch- me"), the four-act romantic folk comedy by Perets Hlrshbein. It Is not often that an aggregation of player folk and other people of the theatre organise themselves for the purpose of artistic dramatic achievement and with their first production acheive their pur- pose. . Bat that is what the Jewish Art Thea- tre, which naa leased the old Garden Thea- tre and presented "The Idle Inn". last week as Its Initial offering, has done. . The play is racy of the soil from which it springs, depicting the Joys and emotions of humble Jewish-Russian folk of the last generation; their customs, their simple talk, their love and forbearance for one -another and, above all, their eascntlal saassssssaaSS life is full for these hinterland Russian Jews; It la evident that their's Is not a from-day-to-day existence, for they seem to be dreaming of the past and, In.their hum- ble way, planning for the future. The. story tells of two families, Bendet the horsedealer and his Innkeeper neighbor. Isaac.' Bendet has a daughter, Maite. and Isaac has a son, Lalblsh. A marriage is ar- ranged. Malte agrees to marry Lalblsh al- though she does not love him. She loves her cousin Italic, the latter a wild and In- corrigible youth; a sort of Jewish Peer Gynt, without illusions. In the vicinity of their home Is an old abandoned Inn which Is said to be Infested with evil spirits. Isaac buys the old inn and plans to convert it into a home for his son and his son's wife. The wedding takes place In the home of the bride's parents and all the neighboring folk are invited to attend the ceremony. - Af- terward, there Is feasting and general' hilar- ity and. In the midst of a general dance of re juicing, Itzlk sneaks into the house and carries off the bride. " He takes her into the wood near the haunted inn and there. In a scene which ii nothing- if not poetic, they plight their un- conventional troth. She detests him she telli him. He laughs. So' she flings her anas about him and tells him that she loves hun in spite of all the reasons that she shouldn't They are discovered In the wood by her par- ents and the parents of her erstwhile hus- band. She goes to her home and her father, his reason doddering because of bis daugh- ter's ntian»i act, suddenly leaves the house and sets the evilly bespirited Inn afire. Aid while the Inn is burning Itzlk comes Into the house and carries off Malte for the second time. The acting Is splendid throughout; bot in the scene" in the wood, Cells Adler, who played the part of Malte, and Ben-Ami, who played the part of Itsik, distinguished them- selves In a truly great histrionic manner. They could have so- easily overplayed their parts, yet they acted with proper emotional restraint.
