Gerhart Hauptmann's "Tbe Weavers^' (s the sec- r/INTBR GARDEN—"A World of Pleasnra^" rod play to be produced at the Garden Theatre by eleventh week. tbe Modem Stage Society and American People's » Theatre, of which Emanuel Relcher Is the founder and principal director as well as the leading actor. The play was well received Tuesday night, Dec. 14. It was first produced In Germany about twenty-three years ago, after much opposition of the confervativea. It had been played tn the Gcr- lumi lungoage In Milwaukee, Cblco^o and New York, but this was Its first presentation In BnglLiah on the New York stage. "Tbe Weavets" la an Intensely Impressive work, unquestionably tbe greatest Qiat has come from the pen of the German genius. It is a realistic and eordld drama, telling with convincing force end sympathy, of the cppresalon, the Ruffertnga, tho jwverty, tho hunger and tho Ignorance of the much usder-pald weavers of the 40'a In tbe Tillage of PeterwaJdau. Silesia, Germany. It Is a play wlQi- out a hero or heroine, for plot and players are 21. made subservient to the theme. It Is an eloquent and and stlrrhig play. Ilauptmann takes no sides tn 'The the Issues of tbe case, for the vrorat sides of em- ployer and employees are shown. The play Is divided Into live act& Tbe first abows the delivery room of the rich, manufacturer, Drelsslger, where be Is cutting down wages to the etarvatlon point. Tbo second act Is laid In old AUr sorge'8 home, where he and his starving family are being Implored to start a riot by Jaeger, a dis- charged aoldler. Tbe third act takes place In the alttlnig room of an Inn, wbvre the rebellious weav- ers are gcttmg drunk, and tbe fourth act show* them vrecklog the.home of their merciless em- ployer. Drlessiger. The fourth act la laid In tbe home of old UlTso, a pious weaver, who had refused to Join the rioters. In the tottle b«tween tho soldiers and the striking weavers (which t«ke9 place otf stage) old Hlls? Is killed by a stray bullet, and the play ends as he falls lifeless across hia loom. The production Is tbl^ best Mr. Relcher has made and he has given the piay a competent cast, which Is so loree that we caunot write at length of the Individual performances of the players, most of whom scored htavUy. We wish, however to com- pliment Adolp'.i Link (for vears a leading member of the 4j!crman Irving Ploee Company, In New York; on the fine performance he gives as Old Baumert. Mr Delcher contented himself -n-lth the small role of Old Ansorge. He speaks English quite wcK. Unrtlmor Martini was capital as the pomp- ous, ^ve driving Drelsslger. Frank BcrtTamTs oxhlMtlnn of frenzied rowardlse was well done. Edith R.^ndolph has oun emotional scene, and sbe Sla.ved superbly. Prauk Peters made a strlfcln.e <are of the blacksmith, who gloried tn the fact thst he was free from bosslsm. Robert H. Barrat and Rupert Uarvey, as tbe ring leaders of tbe eflkln? weaver?, were both good. Tbe Plav wa-o well tranql^ted Into English by Vary Moiison. The best (Thrletmas gift employees can bny a heartless emi'.loyer Is a ticket for '"Hie Weavers," at lite Oardt.n. f eloey. DR.
