 The tense little drama, "war Brides" Which has created a sensation with vaudeville audiences, is being pre- seutcd 1y two companies. In one, now engaged Iu presenting it Co Western audiences, Rhoda Beresford. a sterling dramatic actress from England is en- gagged. Miss Bcrcsford, coming direct from the war zone. gives expression 10 Views at once commanding in logic and impressive in sincerity. "A solemn protest by women against war is time ly and yet women must share equally with men the responsibility for car- ua-e, she declares. There never was war that was not encouraged by women. There never was a war the memories of which were not more per- sistently cherished by women than by men. It is commonplace Co say that women are the chief sufferers by war. or much more importance is the fact that women are also powerful instiga- tors of war" This is not quite in har- mony with the views of the play. but withal it is timely tritc, and above all, true.
 Henry Arthur Jones, the eminent English dramatst. has been a guest of the United States for several months. and the frequency with which he vis- it's this country and his activity in our theatrical affairs, lends color to the report that he is to make this his future home He now has one of the New York theatrical successes in The Lie," played by Margaret Ellington. but Of decidedly more interest ts his latest literary contribution ("The Theatre of
 Ideas" George IT. Doran Co.,, New YOrk) which contains three plays The Coal produced last season at the Princess Theatre "Her Tongue" a farce. and "Grace Mary" a play set in Cornwall. Of late AIr. Jones has interested playgoers in his essays and lectures even more than by his plays, and we predict that his huriesque al- legory with which he leads off his latest volume will be the feature to interest readers of this little book It is an artistic as well as literary treat

 Gilbert White, the American painter, whose atelier in Paris was the rem dezvous for the most noted lights of the literary, art musical and dramatic world before the war declares that the impression that the gay city of Europe is desolate is not warranted by the facts. "It is, as usual. one of tho festival cities of the world" he de- clares "It has suffered because of the war, but that 1t is a city in mourning is not true. It is, as always, a city of theatres, and while it's festivities are necessarily restricted. it is still the Paris beloved by Americans" And in proof he furnishes current copies of Paris journals showing reviews of per- formances fin many houses familiar to American professionals and visitors. including these: Gaiete Lyridue. "Saltimbanques," operette with grand spectacle; Chatelet Michael Strogoff'; Trianon Lyrique, "Les Petites Michu"; Comedie ROyale 'L'Aube de la Re- yanche"; Folies Bergere, Paris Quand- Meme"; Gaument Palais, several pieces; Le Moulin Rouge.
