Abstract

Drama
J. R. T. | November 30, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

In his production of the play "The Betrothal," sequel to the play "The Blue Bird," in the Shubert Theatre, director Winthrop Ames has scored another notable artistic success. That the piece will rival its predecessor in popularity can scarcely be doubted, if only because in both the main topic is one of universal interest. This happy blend of the grotesque and true, the visionary, sentimental, and purely human, can be effected only by the magic of genius. The tendency to regard these dream adventures of fictitious character Tyltyl, in his search of happiness and a wife, as the formal exposition of a personal philosophy may not be altogether fair.
