The job of finding a companion piece for Emlyn Williams’ fine play, "The Com la Green", terms to have stumped Broadway. A trial balloon called "Romantic Mr. Dichena" popped high In the tky the other day and wobbled about badly. It'a another case of shooting rabbits with an elephant gun. Superbly cast. "Romantic Mr. Dlckena" Is so poorly written that the fine cast, the excellent produc tlon and the genuinely master ful setting doesn't have much chance. It offers a new light on the great British authornew. that Is, to the millions unfamiliar with the life of the man who changed the face of English 'literature almost ss much ss Emile Zola changed the French Dickens Is portrayed as s gay dog who has a tough time trying —when he tries at all—to keep peace in his family. A frustrated and thoroughly cm bittcred wife watches Dickens carry on with gayer, younger and freer ladies. She sees her home turned into a transfer point for fallen women whom Dickens tries to rehabilitate. In her despair she is driven to tearing Dickens at IssL leaves him on the eve of his greatest triumph, when he parries Queen Victoria's command for a per forma nee of his play at Busk Ingham Palace by turning It Into an Invitation to make the dress rehearsal at the theatre the Queen's performance. If H. H. and Marguerite Harper had used a shade more Ingenuity In the writing of their play—lt they had let the story tell itself in the terms we know today rather than aping the stilted lit erary effusiveness of the midNineteenth Century, Dickens' carryings-on and his wife’s malaise of soul might have been more convincing As it is. the audience is aski-d to overlook amateurishness in writing. p<x»r lines and limping dialogue That doesn't do either Mr. Dickens or the play justice.

Gertrude Flynn, distinguished young actress whose long service to the theatre haan’t quite brought the recognition she deserves, plays Dora Spenlow, Dickens' Brat love. An appealing. pretty and rather finicky upperelasa English girl In the firat act. Mias Flynn becomes a fat. coarse, middle class Englishwoman twenty minutes later. Ilers was the one job of acting that won a storm of applause from the first night audience. Diana Barrymore, daughter of John, makes her Broadway debut aa Dickens’ last love, the actress Caroline Bronson While she doesn t quite live up to the Barrymore tradition. Diana promises much. She doubtless learns a lot from her Aunt Ethel, who la starring in "The Corn Is Green" down the street Quite like old times, with two Barrymores on Broadway Robert Keith Is an acceptable Dickens; Zoiya Talma his convincingly suffering wife; mwyna Harvey a gentle sister-in-law Thais Lawton. who has prohably forgotten more shout the theatre than most of the youngsters now In It will ever learn. Is the Baroness BurdettCoutts. friend of Dickens and sponsor of Caroline Bronson at Court. The Watson Barratt setting Is faithfully rococo, and the coatumea of Ernest Schrapa exceedingly well conceived. We re sorry the writings not better than it ia. Given a point or two of greater skill. "Romantic Mr. Dickens" might have assured Broadway another staple for the season. It’a barely possible that Director Arthur Sircom might be able to get a job of doctoring r one, but the extent of the task makes it rather Improbable. We hope “Romantic Mr Dickena" stays on a while. If for no other reason, then for the simple, pagan pleasure of watching Miss Flynn waddle in the second act. She can t I weigh more than 110 pounds.
