Show "The Devil." Franz Molnar's "Devil," which hss created such a sensation throughout two continents, Is not exactly what you expect him to be, but he Is an In- slduously agreeable fellow; entertaining, entertain-ing, amusing, instructive; he Is a gentleman gen-tleman of polish, w.ell-manncred and witty; eplgramatlc and likeable. That his Ideals are measured In spicy graduates grad-uates does not take away a particle of his charm nor docs it lend fear to his companionship. If he talks a great deal he has something to say, and a purpose in saying It. When he brings together two oung people who have been separated through the convention conven-tion of marriage, one is tempted to believe that after all he lias made a mistake and done a good deed. In the play he is nothing more than fa- miliar thoughts personified. That Is what manes the plav so agreeable and fascinating. In the first act the Devil appears to an artist and his former sweetheart, who Is now marrledjust as they have agreed to bury the past ana be Just good friends In' the future. She has come to the studio of the artist to have her portrait painted when the Devil appears. The artist requests his "Satanic Majesty" to leave them, when he remarks that his presence will best explain to the lady's husband the absence of the portrait which has not been painted. He slowly brings them together; he joins their hands when they are Interrupted by the sud den return of the husband. Herr Molnar's "Devil" isu polite, malicious, mtschlevlous man and of excellent taste in dress. He is not ugly, and Is not lame, but Is really a handsome and charming man a man in the prime of life Is the Devil; obliging, a man of the world and civil; a diplomatist diplo-matist too, well skilled indebute; he talks right glibly of church and state. In fact, he Is such a man as you might meet every day, and he will be at the opera house Saturday nigltt |
