Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Little Review, Vol. 6: May, 1918; The Ideal Giant The Restaurant is behind the two central figures in each scene. The dialogues occur in a little brightly-lighted box at the front of the stage. It is a recess at the back of the Restaurant, which is seen behind it in a perfectly square frame made by the limits of the recess. The box-like recess is painted shiny white with large brass hooks to the left for the coats. It is sanitary, doll-like and conventional. Fingal´s sienna brown suit, and Kemp´s rather vivid blue, under the bright electric light, and Miss Godd´s green jersey in yd scene, add to the appearance of freshness and artificial bloom. Scene I. Mr. John Fingal is found seated at table, on left-hand side, his right-hand profile to you. He is reading a green evening paper. Mr. John Fingal is a robust, un-English-looking Adonis, like rank and file stocky Paris cubist; jowl, phlegm, professional classes. He is thirty-six, a solid adventurer, studying art. He does a little dealing. He is flippant, and methodically aggressive in a snobbish way. He sees himself as "fine old gentleman," très fin; also as a beautiful young man, the memory of personal triumphs at Cambridge maintained. He likes speaking French. He does so with careful clumsiness and only so much attempt at a good accent as is compatible with dignity and comfort. The tables beyond in the body of the Restaurant are occupied by various people, chiefly Belgians. John Porter Kemp comes in from street at far end of stage. He is tall, dog-lean, in first bloom of middle age. He is a writer; journalism takes up most of his time. (Red-haired people seem mongrels - common to every country, like women. Kemp´s is a shabby strong mixture, giving him rather a colonial entrée into the civilised world. It carries him back, down the ages, in any case, in an energetic ancestral trail, without the interruptions you must always count on with colourless crops.) Fingal looks up toward back of stage, and with immediate concentration makes a sign to Kemp, and kicks the chair back on the other side of the table. Fingal. Hallo.
