Anatol. written in 1893, was Dr. Arthur Schnitzler's first play, an ironic, sentimental chronicle of love in Vienna. Though it breathes of pre-War matinee-idolatry (John Barrymore played Granville-Barker's able translation of it in 1912), it has yet some durable qualities- wit, grace, ebullience. Viennese Joseph Schildkraut plays Anatol unevenly, not always bringing him to life. Offstage waltzes by Johann Strauss gave the play authentic Alt Wien atmosphere, which, is almost all it needs.

Nor should those who spent four years being strenuously social feel slighted, for there is a growing demand for accomplished entertainers for out-of-town buyers. In fact there seems...
...Moon (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Enlarged and changed, this operetta of the Broadway stage of year before last has been made into a vehicle for Metropolitan-trained Grace Moore and Lawrence Tibbett each of whom has done well separately in singing pictures. It is a plotty affair in which a Russian princess and a lieutenant make love against a background of soldiers thoroughly trained in quartet and ensemble work. Undaunted by the Presence of his superior officers, Tibbett pursues Miss Moore at a ball given in her honor by her fiance, the Governor, and in consequence is sent to an outpost...
