Abstract

Drama
Connelly, Marc | November 5, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the theatrical production "Siegfried." It is basically an ironic comedy of international manners. It is, superficially, the first play in which the device of the amnesia victim has been used with artistic dignity. The production's major faults come, as they rarely do, from a too rigorous regard for the lines themselves. Every now and then one feels a consciousness in reading which hurts the emotional progress of Siegfried's journey from the position of a meteoric leader in 1921 Germany to the simple status of an unknown Frenchman found memoryless on a battlefield seven years before.
