Abstract

Drama
Krutch, Joseph Wood | January 9, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

For the first production in a theater renamed in her honor Ethel Barrymore has chosen "The Kingdom of God," by that same Martinez Sierra whose "Cradle Song" served Miss Le Gallienne so well. In it she is called upon to portray a sister of charity at three stages of her career, and the new play is, in theme and atmosphere, identical with the former one. The two have undoubtedly a flavor of their own, but their distinction is due less to any important originality on the part of the author than to the fact that his delicately sentimental treatment of familiar emotions seems exotically charming in a theater which has moved a long way from his preoccupations.
