vanity and t Ik- .);: lmisy that are common
to the atrage man and woman. He
has found in this play, too, the product
of a man still In his 30s, a fine exposi
tion of the love existent in the mar
ital relation, "a common topic of satir
ical and sometimes ribald levity," and
a profound analysiw of the sources of
that love and the forces that keep It
alive; the things that enoblc it and Its
possessor; the things that alienate and
destroy it.
To the less acuta observer also, It Is
this philosophical and Incisive and sym
pathetic treatment of the most. ansorD
nt of theme In rt particular phase
that makes "The Thief" the unprece
dented success that it is the world over.
The liumanness of Bernatein and the
naturalness of his creations are Irresist
ible. Thev are not puppets that strut
and fret before the spectator, but men
and women who by that single proverb
ial touch make all who witness them
sharr in their sorrows and Joys. In
the oast which Charles "rohman has se
lected fur the performance of "The
Thief" Is Margaret Jlllngton, who will
be Keen in the role of Marie Voysln. in
which she has made fur herseljf a secure
and leadiner place amne the emotional
actresses of the Kriglish-xpeaklna .stage
Besides Miss Illlngton, the cast will
contain Bruce McKae. Edward B. Haw
son. Sidnev Herbert, Leonard Ide, Cecil
Owen and Isabel Richards.
The seat sale will open next frinsy,
