"WITCHING HOUR IN FILMS
c. Aubrey Smith Plays John Mason
Part i'm Screen Version of PLAY

A private showing Of "The Witch
ing Hour was given at the Strand
Theatre yesterday. The story seems
particularly adapted 10 screen pur-
poses. and it will undoubtedly be
big success.
In the picture il is possible to show
so many scenes which were simply
talked about in the play, and these
seemed the big part of the film. For
instance, there is a wonderfully effec-
tive staging of the scene where Jack
Brookiield, trying TO cure his niece's
fance of his fear, sends him to cap
ture the district attorney who was in
strumental in the murder of the COVER

Strange Selection OF White

SHAW FALLS UNDER
BAN OF CENSURE
Stamp of Approval for
PLAYS Which Jest About
Marriage
Nv HAYWOOD BROUN

Jeremy Golfers body lies a-moulder-
ing in the grave, but his soul goes
marching on. short View Of the I'm
morality ard Profaneness Of the Eng
Hsh Stage" was written in 1898, and in
the ten years that followed the clergy
man pretty well lambasted his oppo-
nents. but then he died and there have
come Hopwoods and IIattons, who will
rot let him rest in peace
Since Jeremy was a High Church man.
70 may be his spirit which animates the
report Of the Catholic Theatre Move
ment. in which only sixteen of thirty
four PLAYS presented in New York are
classed as morally inoffensive. Jeremy
was fundamentally right and so is the
present organization. but its judgment
is ludicrous. How can anybody be pa
tient with a society which approves the
morality Of "Obiect- Mstrimony' and
"Pollyanna" end sharply criticiseS
Shaw's Getting Married.?
Montague Glass and Jules Eckert
Goodman chose TO regard marriage as
a joke. They found it fit subject for
farce and asked us TO be amused by
Young man who became engaged TO
girl for the sake of his business, only
to throw her over at the last minute
in favor Of a young woman who had
helped him IN the deception. Shaw, on
the other hand, takes marriage so Sc
riously that he can hardly dispose OF
the subject by II o'clock midnight Nor
does Shaw force any particular theory
in regard TO marriage upon his audi
ence. Truly he points out certain
faults in the institution. but at the end
of the play his hero and heroine decide
that the best thing they can do is to
marry in the old-fsshioned way since
none of the substitute arrangements
suggested sounds feasible.
Shaw has a definite programme for
the improvement of marriage, which
he sets forth at length in the preface,
but he dwells by no means unduly on
his own views in the play. In Get
ting Married" we hear from a person
who believes that marriage is a sacra
ment, from another who thinks II is
no more than one-sided contract,
while quite the most eloquent person in
the play is an ascetic, who holds with
the early fathers of the Church that
celibacy is the highest duty Of the
cody.
We trust that the Catholic Theatre
movement will soon take action to
rescind its apparent decision that
marriage is so holy it may be discussed
in jest, but never in earnest.
Again, just how can a Christian
reconcile the philosophy of his Church
with that of Pollyanna, who resolves to
find something in everything to be glad
about? Against the complacent, pagan
contentment preached by this play may
be set the ringing declaration, found
in the thirty-fourth verse OF the tenth
chapter of the Gospel According 10 St.
Matthew, "Think not that am come to
send peace on earth: | come not to
send peace, but sword"
Still more strangely, the Catholic The
atre Movement has chosen to condemn
Alice Browns one-act play, THE
Sugar House." which preached morality

No American Red Cross

Washington, Nov 22.--At Red Cross
headquarters here to-day it was stated
there we're no American surgeons or
nurses under its direction serving on
hospital ships in European waters,
Their only workers are several units
which are ashore. They pointed out
that if there were Americans aboard
the Britannia they undoubtedly were
volunteers who had gone abroad on
their own account.
In the Office of the British Consul at
New York il was said that some of the
200 nurses and 100 surgeons aboard
the Britannia were believed &c have
been Americans.

Years Old, Sees Rnle

LESS CLUBBIN',
MORE BOOKKEEPIN'"
City Becoming Dryer, He
DeCIareS-WaIked Beats
Almost Half Century

The next time you are in a critical
mood toward the police of New York
talk with Patrolmsn John Leddy, OF
2166 Arthur Avenue. The Bronx, be-
fore you write to Commissioner Woods
OF your favorite newspaper.
Leddy, who is seventy years old, re-
tired at midnight on Tuesday after
forty-two years in the service. lie
walked his first beat two days before
Christmas, 1874. His first station was
at Fifth Street and First Avenue; his
last in East lO4th Street. lie has been
on duty from the Battery TO The Bronx,
and he has witnessed changes in the
police system that are good for critics
to hear about.
There's a thousand times more
brains in the department to-day than
there was when | was young fellow,
he said yesterday. There's more ed
ucation in one precinct than there was
in forty. In my day policemen used
TO come from the railroads, from the
longshoremen, anywhere. All you had
TO do was to go over to Headquarters
with somebody that knew somebody and
get job.
City Is Drying Up
"They were a husky lot, all right.
You could hitch 'em up to truck.
But they didn't have the makeup OF
the men Of to-day. It's good, ele'
giant cut of men on the force now, a
fine, sober lot of men,
And here's some good news for the
prohibitionists: Leddy has observed
that the city, at any rate, is growing
dryer. lie can remember the time
when the demon rum was in such high
favor that most policemen were al
lowed to be friendly with him.
"In my young days I've seen many a
policeman come staggering in from the
night round" he said. But they're a
very sober body of men these times.
As for me, I'd just as soon see the town
dry; and | know lot of policemen feel
the same way. | see less drunkenness
everywhere, fewer buns. less rowdy'
ISM"
Leddy is a big man. and for years he
has been one of the crack shots of the
Police Department. Perhaps that is
the reason he has had little trouble
during his long round of duty. But il
is also possible that his sane philoso-
ply of the police business accounts
for il.
