Tuesday, November 18, 1930 ARMOUR TECH NEWS a; narrows HOTEL UNlVERSl‘I Phillip Barry Presented at the Goodman Theater With the staging of “Hotel Uni— verse,” the Goodman has intro— duced a new conception into the field of the theater; it is a field that many of‘the larger theaters whose very existence is dependent on pleasing the masses would dare not stage. in this play the audience has certain demands made upon it; they must exercise their mental ability, and adapt themselves to the ideas of the author. The play is unique in that it conforms to the actual elapses of time, for the en— tire play presents two hours of the life of its characters, and consumes precisely that much time in its staging, with no intermission. It is quite a distinct view, when one considers that in the past we have had to delude ourselves into visual- izing a"flve minute wait as any pe» riod from two minutes to ten years, depending on the fancy of the playwright. . “Hotel Universe" is a play based on the idea that we humans take some ideal as the keynote of our lives, and whether good or ,bad, hold to that, letting it have an un- due influence upon the remainder of our existence. Thus we meet the six people who have let some illus- ion ruin their lives; and through the skill of Barry we learn their personal traits, beliefs, and course of living. Through a fantastic conception, wherein these six are allowed to revive the incident wherein the ii:- lusion had its birth, they regain the normal aspect upon life, and see it. again as something sweet and'de- sirable. This “fantastic concep- tion" is perhaps allegorical in structure, and baffling in its pres—Z entation, but it seems to lend itself to analysis despite the pessimistic opinion oi some critics. The various interludes in the play do much to relieve the ten- sion following some of the action, and merely reiterate the fact that Barry” i“s“"’a ” mast‘ér"‘of*homedy, as “Holiday" proved; the body of it shows that the man has made a striking analysis of the psychologi— cal attitude of these various people. The cast has managed to carry out the theme of this most difficult production to a satisfying degree, and in Butler Mandeville we feel that the Goodman has gained an— other worthy man. All the players manage to assume their multiple personalities with ease, and help create the feeling that they are actually reliving part of their life. The play is essentially a psycho- logical study intertwined with the presentation of the philosophy of life as interpreted by Barry, and must prove of interest to any man who feels he can spend two hours in what might be termed “useful pleasure.” A.
