Year and a Half Ago a
Curious Forecast of Present
European Conditions.

the army. The two years that fol-
lowed were filled with study and
preparation, for, acting on the ad-
vice Of friends. Howard determined
to adopt playing and playwriting as
q business, and he spent his last
two years In her majesty's service
preparing himself for the career Of
an actor and playwright.
Produced Sixteen Plays.
Coming from the army some
eighteen years ago he Immediately
set out to establish himself in his
new profession and because of his
ability as an actor and his keen in
sight to human affairs he became
a success at the start. For sixteen
years he has annually produced a
new play in Manchester, England.
And usually the play has gone
through all the English theaters end
ing with a run in one of the big
London theaters. Walter Howard
became n name to conjure with in
theatrical matters in England. He
was one of the actors whose work
attracted a steady patronage of
thoughtful people and his plays were
given a high rating. Once he at
tempted a war play. He made Rus
hearsed and was just on the eve
of production when Admiral Ro-
jestvensky of the Russian navy re-
PEELED the memorable attack Of
the British fishing fleet in the North
Sea with his big squadron of Rus
sian war ships en- route to the
Orient to fight the japanese. Any
thing Russian became Immediately
SO unpopular in England that How
ard decided not to produce his play.
But the war play had very warm
place in his heart and a year and
a half ago he decided to try his
luck again. This time he took the
precaution to make his play neu-
trail affair. He gave 1t no distinct
locale. II might be anywhere. He
called it The Story of the Rosary
because Of the beautiful sentiment
of the song and because he made the
rosary an important feature of the
play. The play was produced in
Manchester as usual and then went
to London where 1t scored q trmen-
dous hit. The conditions that formed
the basis of the play the critics
called highly fanciful, but they
praised it. Within few months
after the play was produced the

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR

The Simplest and Quickest
Way Is To Dissolve 1t.

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff Is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
If not all Of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1t, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have. ~
You will find. too. that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once.
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous.
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair, do
by all means get rid Of dandruff. for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
It not only starves the hair and makes
it fall out, but 1t makes it stringy,
straggly, dull, dry. brittle, and lifeless
and everyone notices it. You can get

inexpensive and never fails to do the

war cloud that has now settled over
Europe made it's first appearance in
the east and to the astonishment of
everyone the conditions that were
found in the Howard play were prac-
tically repeated on the Belgium and
French battlefields. SO startling was
the similarity that interest was inn
pediately renewed in the play and
four companies were organized that
are now producing it throughout
England.
Indorses American Playwright.
Howard's own company had con-
tracted to come to this country with
the play long before the war was
thought of. AS was usual with all
the Englishmen as soon as war was
declared, Mr.. Howard offered him
self as a volunteer. He was re-
jected on the ground that he had
passed the age limit of thirty-fve
years. And so he came to the
that some of it's lessons OF war
might help to bring about the peace
which is now so earnestly desired.
THE Story of the Rosary" which
comes to the Belasco Theater next
week. is a simple, direct play. 1t
uealS with war and mas Daltle
scene, which it's author was enabled
to construct from his long personal
experience with military affairs. 1t
is story that need affect the neu-
trality of no person or nation, and
yet it brings home in powerful
way the big lessons Of the war that
Is now In progress and tells charm
ing love story at the same time.
. Howard's success as a playwright
he generally accredits to his fol-
lowing the American rather than the
English method of building play.
He has always admired American
plays because he believes them to be
direct, strong, and uncompromisfng.
Strength, humanity, and the essen
tial dramatic elements are found in
all of them. he declares, while the
British playmaker Of today Is being
smothered in a sort of over-nicety.
London dramatists, he believes, are
too ladylike in their attack. He has
tried to make his plays more after
the American model than that fur
nished him by his fellow country
men. A big, forciful man, an ideal
type OF the British soldier and gen.
tleman, Howard has. not only upset
the moss-covered traditions Of the
English playwrighting fraternity,
but. as we have tried to point out
in giving this sketch Of him, he has
but read the first few para

material. He did hold the book at
some time or other, and not liking
the way it was written, proceeded to
write one himself. That was the be-
ginning Of Shakespeare, the dramat-
iSt
Genius Strikes Again.
Now for the second stroke Of ge-
MUS lightning that hit Stratford-on-
Avon. More than three centuries
swept over the peaceful village. The
foundations Of the fame that
Shakespeare laid must have been
crumbling. Anyhow. just after the
three centuries had finished their
sweeping, on the same street that
Shakespeare had lived there was an
other boy born. He was born in the
Howard family, which was quite we'll
known In those parts. And he was
named Walter. Historians haven't got
ten around to statistics as to the nu-
merical strength of the Howard fam
lily at that time, or the sex inclinations
Of the Howards who preceded Wal
ter, If there were any. But Walter
came into the world in the same un-
ostentatious way that his famous
fellow-townsman had come, and he
grew up amidst the same surround
ings Walter declares that Shakes

know the house where the bard was
born If It were not for a sign on it.
Walter Howard followed the usual
course Of being educated in the town
schools, and when he came to an
age when he could choose things for
himself, he chose to leave it-just as
his distinguished -villager had
done some three centuries before.
And he, too, went to London. There
he decided that the drama of life he
wished to study was being more sue
cessfully played in a military way.
and he became a soldier.
1t might be said that even here his
career was somewhat similar to
Shakespeare's, and that he held the
prompt book on the war drama He
was in the hospital corps, and it was
his business to correct the errors
made in the soldiers in battle and
send them back to the field again.
He did this with some success, be-
ing an actor in the drama OCCASION
ally himself. In the dull hours be-
tween fights he amused himself and
his friends with acting behind the
footlightS-those temporary foot
lights that shed soft, rosy glows on
amateurs. And Walter Howard also
took umbrage at the things that
were written in the prompt books
for the players Of his day, and pro-
ceeded to write a play to his own
liking. He called 1t "Wearing Of
the Green" and It made big hit.
