offered by any dramatist in recent
years. Chicago students of dramatic
literature have been feasting on the
exquisite dialogue and the public in
general has been carried away by the
powerful presentation of Mr.. Arnold's
unequaled company. The sociological
problem of which the play treats most
ably has been under discussion for
ages, and it is probably not yet with
in many years of solution. Bet Il
dramatic work so lucidly setting forth
both sides Of the question is worthy
of mere than passing notice and at
fords limitless scope for interesting
discussion The Strong People will
remain at the Grand for some time to

mists will find in this play material
for interesting discussion hitherto not
touched upon.

CASINO THEATRE.
"The Girl and the Wizard.

Sam Bernard appeared In a new comic opera last
night at the Casino. The opera was written by
]. Hartley Manners and is called The Girl and
the Wizard" Sam Bernard could sing any
better than he did. but. unlike most actors
who can't sing, he was funny about il. lie was
the same comedian of old-funny when he said
things and still funnier when he said nothing at
all. He talked like bottle OF seltzer in a German
English dialect and accent that were delicious. His
phrases sounded like literal translations from the
German. yet the opera not German I'm origin
Every muscle Of Bernard's body got tangled up
in mirth. his tongue being the worst-or best-of-
fender.
He never lost an opportunity to thump down
stairs, fall over chair bump into woman
And once he accomplished a graceful exit by
falling in heap the floor.
Sam Bernard took the part OF Herman Scholz

in little town IN the Austrian Tyrol. After
Scholz's nephew. Paul. has enlisted in the army
because his uncle would allow him 20 marry.

Just as the marriage is about to take place Paul
returns in a lieutenant's uniform and informs his
uncle that lie has invented a gun which has been
accepted by the government and for which he has

Returning from vacation trip TO England and

The fight in the House Of Commons over the

which will seem to many Englishmen almost revo-

socialists and the budget socialistic.
The budget may be socalistic, but 1t is much
more: II is The beginning of a struggle for the
restoration OF the land the people In an Anglo

such contest, and IL the budget fails of passage
by the House OF Lords The real fight will go on
A pressing need OF more money for the purposes
OF the government is only the occasion of the at

significant. II is notable struggle. settlement

o'Neill realizes the character and manner Of Mon
signore Saracinesca. who a man of the world
III the best sense. as well a prelate. Mr.. Far
num- IL looking rather too well fed for a soldier
who has for FIVE years been prisoner of savages
portrays well the ardor and devotion of his part
and MISS Gale is quite perfect as the very beau
monte. Why Countess? She was Princess in
the book.
There has been effort here 20 make noble
play This effort would have succeeded had Mr.
walter Hackett followed or been allowed 20 fol-
low-one wonders how the case stood-the steps of
Marion Crawford in the last act But he broke
away. And the spectators wonder what all the
ado Is about. They left like Little Peterkn,
saying. No doubt IT was famous victory. but
what did they Kill each other for?"
NOBODY can tell why, unless the dismal conven-
uons OF sheer thearicality are really inevitable in
the present state of the stage In this play the act
ors are not for an instant fault. They preserve
the Illusion. They live up TO Crawfords ideal.
They could have made the play almost great play
had the author permitted. But he lost his own
chance.
Blind fate striking in the dark" Is all that
Severi can make of IT. But the White Sister sees
only the hand Of God writing their lives and
leading them to hope and bessedness. This in the
book. But the play destroys all this at the end by
inventing suicide. II does not let the audience
see that Giovanni Severi a hero. II trans
forms him in the last act into mere blusterer of
cheap melodrama; consequently lets the audience
the end OF the second act. The third eyades the
issue. takes fright at Il and runs away among the
tall rank weeds OF theatricality. II is thousand
pties,
Miss Viola Allen deserves sincerest praise for her
acting. She will not object perhaps. being told
that her recognition OF Giovanni. in the first act.
would be ten times more effective If she made no
sound hut were TO swoon without outcry. She
is the very Angela, the White Sister GiOvanna. She
lives that sweet. and strong. and touching char
acter. But. alas, with the ending OF the second
act, there is no more Crawford; his motive
ishes. And from that instant the art Of the repre-
sentation ceases. and its place Is taken by the
feeblest resort 70 a device which makes meaning
less all the admirable work that has gone before.
The second act is strong, convincing, almost too
strong. since what follows is anti-cimax and per-
version OF intention. Incidentally II may be
observed that the mother superior, the Little
White Volcano" is not In the play. The
White Sister might well go 10 Rangoon.
