Shal csncarcan production on the res-t lvn l , alo such as has attractedswarms o( tour sts every summer tohis acttvttlo ln Salzburg, in tho Aus-trt.m Tyrol. It is in direct contrast tothe mlnlaturc Shakespeare with whichthe Old Globe Ill: ycrs have. won ourltffectlon. It employs all the theaterarts scene d ! n, dancing, panto-mime, a certain degree of pageantry,and orchestral music-In addition tothe direct acting of the characters;and It blends those clem nts Into abeautiful en ernble with perfect unityof effect.

Drama Returnsto Magnificence.As a festival play the performance

moves at a leisurely pace, seeking forevery legitimate embeliishment ofSha.kcspca ro'a fantastic tale. It is afull bodied show, giving the completetext, and also the entire score ofMendelssohn's enchanting' incidentalmusic, which comes to its climax intl 0 great wedding march that hassummoned millions of couples to thematrimonial altar.When compared with this ample

poe t lc entertainment, the typicalalcirnpy play from Broadway, openingat 8:45 and clostng at 10:45, dealingwIth a small group of humdrum folks,sccma like a sandwich beside a ban-quet. In his "Midsummer Night'sDr 'am" Reinhardt restores the dramato its old status of magntilccnce. Healso opens wi do tho gateways of theimagination.I have seen better Shakespearean

acting than this performance contains,but I have never seen a finer Sha kc-sncaroan production. The visual ap-peal In " A Midsummer .•Tight'sDream" is all Important, and Rein-hardt h s lvcn the play its perteetenvll'onm' nt. 11is brilliant sta~e di·

tovich in the leading- role, wrote fivesuccessrul plays before he was twenty-seven years old. 'I'ho fifth waa "Ro·marice," vhich turned out to lJe aninternational hit.Sheldon was born in Chicago and

Reinh rdt'sAmerican Future.After the Chicago engagement the

company will transplant the preservedoak and pine trees of its enchantedgrove to other cities-Milwaukee, St.Louis, etc.-to complete its demon-stration that "the road" has notabandoned the classic drama. Eventu-ally it will end its travels in theRockefeller Center theater, New York,as a successor to "The Great Waltz."Reinhardt's American career, so

happily beg-un with "A MidsummerNight's Dream," will have new chap-ters before many months have passed.He now has a contract with the War-ner Brothers for motion picturework, but he has no idea of becomingabsorbed into the cinema trade. HeIs already planning for another largescale production, which may be stagedthis spring' or reserved for next sum-mer's California Iest.ival. This will bea drama on biblIcal themes by F'rariz\Verfel, eminent in central Europeand already known in this countrythrough the Theater Guild's stagingof his "Goat Song." The play hasan elaborate score by Kurt Weil andcalls for simultaneous acting on fouror five stage levels.

Tragic Love11 Brittle Heaven" ShowsHelen Hunt Jackson'sHusband as Her Wooer.

By Burns Mantlo.E\\' YORK.-[Special.]-Xobodj'knows. tho ug h a good manyhave wasted time wondering,how thos.e who have gone on

spend their time in hcaven. Evcry-body has come to accept hell as aplace or definite reg lrnerrta.tion, butheavenly diversions arc less certain.Has Emily Dickinson, poet, for in-

stance, been concerned about the

Ia.irly persistcnt cfforts of p la ywrig h Ls

and others to chai-t explanations ofher earthly love life? Ha s she broughtthe subject up [or discussion in meet-ings or the society for reunited lovers'?Or has she simply let the matter pass"A few years ago Susan Glaspcll,

laking the Dickinson legend in hand,wrote "AliHon's lIousc" and won a

Pulttze r prize with it as drama,though she left lhe matter of 1\11ssDick insona love life still obscure.This week we have a drama called

"Brittle Hca ven" in which VincentYork and F'rcderick J. Pohl, wor-kingwith a btograpbtcal novel by Juseph-ine Pollitt [Mi-s, Pohl], called ••EmilyDickinson." seek to show that tho

of Emily Dickinson Is Theme Playpoet's true love was the husband ofher best friend, and he, the Maj. Ed-

ward I-Iunt, who married the ladyafterward known as Helen HuntJackson, author of mother's favoritelove story, -, Rarnona ."

Civil War PreventedPoet from Eloping.It is the contention or interested

,Illrties that Miss Dickinson could nothave indited as many beautiful lovepoems as she wrote to imaginarylovers only. One group insists thatshe was deeply enamored or a mi n is-tel' of the gospel, Dr. Charles Wads-worth of Philadelphia. Another in-sists that she really had several loveaffairs more or less hidden from pry-in," New England neighbors.The Poll itt-Pohl.Ynr-je trio offer's cvt-

dcnce that it was Maj. Hunt whocaused the Dick inson heart to beat;that he fell in leve with her by read.ing' her letters to his wife; that HelenHunt became extremely jealous; thatEmily thereupon declared she was pre-pared to sacrifice everything- for afuture with Ma], Hunt, and mighthave done '0 if the major had notbeen killed during a civil war assign.ment before the happy solution of thetriangle could be attained.Dorothy Gish is playing the Emily

Dickinson role in ••Brittle Heaven,"presenting the poet in her earlytwenties and making her a gentle,

witty, saddened, attractive lady whospeaks a little stiltedly, frequently inlines lifted from the Dickinson poems.This puts both the Gish girls to workon Broadway, as Lillian is playing ayoung harlot in "Within the Gates."Albert Van Dekker, the handsome

young' man you may recall as thecount in ••Grand Hotel," is the Maj.Hunt, and Edith Atwater the Helen.It is a pleasant little drama, but itmakes this particular Dicklnson loveaffair fairly commonplace and un-important.Which, as said, makes me wonder

just what the late Miss Dickinsonmay be thinking of it, if anything.Wondertng about Emily, too, remindsme of an old heaven story that someone revived last week. This one con-cerns a quarrel between St. Peter andSatan over certain breaks in the wallseparating their domains. Severallost souls had escaped into heaven awlSt. Peter was irritated. The breaks,said he, would have to be fixed andSatan had better see to it. Satan onlylaughed."In that case I shall be compelled

to sue you!" firmly announced St.Peter.

II Sue TIle?" roared Satan. <l Sueme'? And where would you get a law-yer? H

ofing a manager with a sense of newsvalues they began their season withSean O'Casey's "The Plough and theStars."O'Casey, as you know, has been

much in the local prints the last sev-eral weeks. His" 'Vithin the Gates."which some likcd and some found ob-scure and unsatisfying, stands, by ;,isown conresslon, as the type of elrama.to which his disgust with 1'i3 ownrealistic plays has driven him.O'Casey, whose early success wa,

builded on a firm roundauon of real-ism, now finds the realistic pluy t.hehilliest sort of play the theater VISto offer. He would rededicate thetheater to a drama of symbols en t ir Iy,"There can never be any act u. lity

on a stage," says O'Casey, "except anactuality that is unnccessr ry andutterly out of place. An actor rcpre-sen ti rur a cavalier may come on thestage mounted on a real horse, butthe horse will always look ridiculous.

• 'I'ho closer we approach to reallife the further we move away fromthe drama. There is a deeper lifethan the life we see and hear with theopen ear and the open eye, and this isthe life important and the life ever.lasting."Which has a fine ring' of Idcalrsrn

as well as a good bit of common senseIn reasoning. But the public that hasbeen brought up in a theater devotedto narrative plays and nurtured onrealism is still fairly mystified by theO'Casey application of symbols.
