_ Judging the Shows (Continued from page 15) following Monday, Tuesday or Wed- ‘| nesday night at a song and dance opening, one of these managerial curses suddenly announces that on that night he is going to stage “John Gabriel Borkman” or “Little Eyolf” | and thus goes and spoils everything. Well, I’ve stood this nonsense long enough and I am going to stand it no | longer. Let them put on all the Ib- sen plays they want to; Giorgio will not be there. I have been seeing Ibsen plays professionally now for | about a quarter of a century; I have | written hundreds of thousands of words about them and bored enough | people as it is; I shall henceforth leave the job, with my blessing, to those of my younger colleagues who, in their enthusiasm and innocence, find that job vastly entrancing. After which ringing valedictory you will probably next season find me, in- curable hanswurst that I am, going to see all the Ibsen plays all over again, and smearing up good white | paper with my dubious words of wis- dom about them. il oun Dos Passos’ “The Moon Is a Gong,” produced in the Cherry Lane as-it-were Theater, is another sample of our little theaters’ wish to he dramatically artistic and being, instead, merely rather silly. Dos Passos showed considerable promise | in his first work, “Three Soldiers,” but has done little since to support the hope of his critics. His play is childish stuff. Like John Howard Lawson in “Processional,” he has tried to interpret the looniness of the American scene in terms of jazz thythm, but, also like Lawson, all | that he has succeeded in interpreting is his own looniness as a dramatic craftsman.
