National-.TwIn Beds

The name of this weeks offering at the
National Theater, Twin Beds" is no
misnomer That is what the whole show
Is about. After the twin-bed epidemic is
over, you are supposed to have learned
the lesson that such articles of bedroom
furniture are not to be used in the best
regulated households. In fact, at one
point in the lesson, you are told by a
much worried and for the time husband
less wife that when a husband gets a
bed of his own he gets to feeling entirely
too independent Her last line in the
show is to inform her husband that she
has smashed the -(deleted by censors)-
twin beds.
Margaret Mayo and Salisbury Field
are responsible for the farce. There is
no doubt about it that IL you want to
laugh a great deal, You have ample op-
portunity; and IL you don't want to
laugh. you can't help finding yourself
laughing every once in a while. TIE

very easily be substituted for laugh

new quarters and has installed himself
and his wife in the apartment above. AL
though neither he nor the Hawkinses are
aware they still are neighbors. The real
trouble starts when Mont, thinking he is

The only trouble with these shows
which have had their New York runs and
have gotten their need of publicity Is
that they are too often put on the road

PoIi'.-"A Message from Mars"

Poli's-"A Message from Mars"
When Charles Hawtrey toured the
country ten or q dozen years ago in
"a Message from Mars" the play was
one of the great successes of the
time. being of the kind that the pub
lie not merely enjoys and laughs at
but also praises warmly and remem-
bers and talks about in later years.
A lot of people have grown up In
the last decade and the attendance
yesterday at the Poll Stock Company's
production of Richard Ganthony's
comedy indicates that crowds OF them
were just waiting for an opportunity
to see the old favorite.
The taking thing about ~ Message
from Mars"-the point that puts II a
notch or two above other comedies in
popular esteem-is the fact that IL
conveys a moral lesson with such en-
tire good nature, CandOr, and absence
OF cant. The absurd selhshness OF the
principal character, Horace Parker, is
felt from the first to be something
unreal, mere mask Of petty weak
nesses that the right sort OF shock
would shake of. No doubt IL would
take something more than dream
messenger from Mars to effect the re-
form in real life. but the rapid revo-
luton In character that the hero un-
dergoes on waking from his dream in
the third act is a bit of magic to be
accepted cheerfully with the remain
der of the naive fantasy.
The trick scenery required for the yari-
Gus manifestations OF the messengers
mystic powers has all been duly pro-
vided by the Poll management, but at
yesterdays matinee performance some OF

lar productions are hazardous ground for
a stock company to tread, and the audi
ence was justly impatient with the long
waits between the acts. In the evening.

Miss Rittenhouse, as the selfish mans
fiancee, has 3 few effective scenes. and
renders them with good judgment. Mark
Kent is the tramp whose comradeship in
misery finally touches the herO's stony
heart. Ben Taggart gives strong voice
to the Messengers moral oratory. The
play is full of scattered bits OF character
that give opportunity to-a long list OF
minor players.

to the needless destruction of Ameri-
can lives and the violation by Ger

This is a grave matter between two
nations. and il should be disposed of
directly between the two governments.

CONSERVATION.

A recent timely and wise warning to
young tennis players by a tennis ex-
pert carries so much sound philosophy
that bears on all human experience
that we repeat 1t. Maurice McLough-
lin, the famous tennis champion, in a
| book of tennis lore gives the advice:
IF a player would only form
the habit of always stopping when
there is still desire left for more,
1t would aid him beyond anything
else j can imagine"
This lesson of conservation 10 sorely
needed in America. We rush too
much, we are too impatient of re-
straint. we desire to drain the cup of
every experience until the very over
plus OF excitement. in business. poll
tics, pleasure. even in religion. leaves
US exhausted and craving. almost as
drug fiend Graves his dope. some
/ newer and higher form of intense ef-
| fort and concentration.
| Nature will exact her toll. For a
while there appears no visible effect,
but there always results from living
at high pressure: first, a depression
of spirits. then fatigue of body. and
finally and most fatal. a dissatisfac-
ton of soul with excuses Of whatever
nature and however brought on.
If we as nation could only form
the habit of stopping when there is
still desire left for more, it would
aid us beyond anything else that could
be imagined.

ENGLAND AND DEMOCRACY.

The fact that Lloyd-George, indi-
cated TO be the most popular man in
English public life, Is not the head
of the government does no tneces-
sarily mean that there lis lack OF
democracy in the empire. for the most
important post is admittedly the one
Lloyd George now holds, and his APP
pointment to it, as was that of Lord
Kitchener as Secretary of War was
practically forced by public opinion.
Mr.. Asquith,. who is the head of the
government. stands close third,to the
two war leaders, and taking into con-
sideration the fact that he has had to
bear share OF tae blame for all fall
ures of his subordinates. this il a
rather unusual showing. On a straight
issue 1t Is doubtful II he could be de-
feated by any man in England.
The surprise OF the straw vote, how
ever, is that King George should be
even considered among the leaders OF
the country. This does not mean any
reflection on me ability OF the King,
