This article focuses on the French author Romain Rolland. For some years past his "Game of Love and Death" has stood on library shelves and received, no doubt, a measure of consideration by virtue of its position in close proximity to "Jean Christophe." Unfortunately, however, the Theater Guild has chosen to blow dust from the pages in order to arrange for a production upon the stage of its own theater; and the play, submitted to the test of performance, reveals itself as a pompous and essentially futile melodrama whose emptiness is not concealed by the measured language or the dignified gesture.
