Nazin1opa, Embodiment of
Tragedy, In Passionate
Arraignn1ent of War

Is to become Of them? Do we want
them shot-the very breath Of our life?'
Ana 10 prove the earnestness OF her
protest. the suffering young wife takes
hcr own life (when news comes from the
front that her Franz and his two broth
ers are listed with the dead rather
than give to her country new life to
be sacrificed in so futile a cause.
AS Joan, the message-bearer Mad
anne Nazimova Is an embodiment OF
grief. bringing to her vizualization a
pathos SO supreme that her yester-
days auditors made no effort to sup
press their sobs. yShe transported
them to a bare peasant cottage In
war-ridden land. There she lifted the
veil which is likely to hang between
the people Of a peaceful and plente-
Gus country and those Of stripped
and suffering land that we might see
the brutalities and miseries that war
entails on the women who bear the
men to be shot; the agonSes Of sus-
pense through which they pass: the
work they do to keep the country
going in the absence Of their loved
ones at the front. and the grim shad-
ow of tragedy which creeps over their
homes a. the news comes that. one
by one. their fathers and brothers
and husbands have given up their
lives IN the name OF war. She paint
ed the picture of this heartbroken
home with the surety Of truth, and
in the central figure Of grief she was
the personifcation of hopeless re-
bellion followed by as hopeless a
despair. From her Bella Donna" to
her Joan" is a far cry. but Madame
Sazimova spans the chasm with an
artistry which Is supreme in its emo
tionalism: its faithfulness to type.
and its realization of truth.
Supporting the star is an exceptionally
well-balanced and capable company who
deserve better things than anonymity on
the program, particularly In the case of
the vizualiZation of the aged mother
Mimi and Amy. each OF which character
ization is distinctive in the artistry of
Its portrayal.
The remainder of this weeks bill at
keith's Is composed Of the customary
vaudeville froth, including an original
cycling act furnished by Eewhouse and
Snyder: "A Miniature Musicale" In
which Master Dave Schooler gives a re-
markable performance as a pianist, anG
Miss Louise Dickinson sings in a metallic
soprano voice numerous songs which We
have heard before: Grace De Mar. whose
cleverDess lies in her ability as an imper-
senator rather than as a singer; the

II Mime. Nazimova could vizualize the
hideous tragedy of war before the insti-
gators Of the present European struggle
as she did yesterday at the B. F. Keith
Theater in Marion Craig Wentworth's
one-act play, War Brides" there might
be hope of dragging from the bloody
mire the trampled divinity of manhood
and once again exalting 1t to level
more worthy Gods purpose of a human
life. but unfortunately the tense drama
touches only the hearts Of a people at
peace with the world. quickening their
realization of the grimness of the trag-
edy being enacted across the sea and
wringing their tears of sympathy for the
women who agonize to bring their sons
into the world only that they may be
murdered by their neishbors.
War Brides is a remarkable play. its
brevity in no way diminishing the maj
esty of its message. which Is presented
in chaste and simple style, powerful in
its directness and convincing in its truth.
Based on the emergency measure Of war
ridden countries of perpetuating their
supply of soldiers by urging their young
women into an unholy mockery of mar
riaSe by becoming war brides on the
eve of the departure of their g, Siiers to
the front, the piece lays bare the desc
Grafton of love and the brutal injustice
OF war to women. using as mouthpiece
Tor its message 4 young woman OF the
peasant classes whose prospective moth
erhood becomes an impending tragedy
because of the probability of the death
of her soldier husband.
In the play at first published in the
February issue of the Century Maya
zine the heroine is called Hedwig. but
for stage purposes and to emphasize her
message of peace through her bitter in
dictment of war; and its urgency OF
war brides. this young wife Of marriage
of love bears the name OF Joan. In sew
eral other instances the names also are
transposed for the sake OF making the
locale of the play more general
In scathing irony Joan hurts her ar
raignment of the unholy measure into the
very teeth of the powers commanding
1t, and sends out her influence to pre-
vent the women from yielding to the
Kings command for more soldiers for the
next generations canon despite every eff
fort to stop her.

Form Of Divorce In Old Rome,

In the earlier period of the Roman
republic divorces We're quite unknown
and We're rare right up to the time OF
the Sultan wars. In the old days the

ess being present AS on the day OF
marriage, a cake of wheaton flour was
presented to the husband and wife, but
instead of sharing it between them
they rejected it. Then, instead of pray.
ers, they pronounced formulas of a
strange severe, spiteful character, by
which the wife renowned the worship
and gods of the husband. From that
moment the religious bond was broken
and, the community of worship having
ceased to exist the marriage without
further ado was forever dissolved.

One of the most dangerous things
to neglect is a Cold or Severe Cough.
If treatment is commenced promptly
with the proper remedy, both are cas-
lily cured, but if neglected they oft
times develop into Pneumonia or Con-
sumption, or some Chronic Bronchial
affection. Most persons neglect treat
ing themselves for the principal rea-
son that they eigther don't think it
serious enough to go to a doctor;
thinking it will get well itself without
treatment or don't know what good
medicine to buy at a drug store, and
if something more serious doesn't
develop, it becomes deep seated
through this neglect and hangs on
the whole winter, when it might
have otherwise been speedily cured,
had Schiffmann's New Concentrated
Expectorant been used promptly.
No risk whatever is run in buying
