Theater Review



“Maxwell Anderson’s Tlié “Masque of
Kings is a good play, well acted, which

\moves to a powerful conclusion, al-

though the direction which the trag-
edy is to take is not clear unt1 late
in the action. The play is essentially
the personal tragedy of Rudolph, the
heir to the Austro-Hungarian. Empire
and the destruction of his ideal. _
Partly from the disinterestedhess of
this ideal, which is to rule with jus-
tice and tolerance for all, and partly

from a _ poetical standpoint without
ever losing, dramatic power, the play



derives.a certain dignity which. adds
to its tragedy. «

This personal tragedy involves the
empire, personified by the Emperor
,and Empress, and in an entirely dif-
erent way, by Rudolph’s mistress. It
is the presentation of the separate
goals of these three secondary people

ning. The first thought presented in

Empress to leave the Empire to a
capable heir, and the second is Ru-
dolph’s superficial desire to escape all
responsibility and to_live only for his

ideal, enters when he is persuaded to
revolt against his father to seize the
crown. The second act ends with the
material success of this plan.

The fact that his‘ideal still awaits
trial i is somewhat obscured by the fact
