By HAYWOOD BROUN

"The Master" is stimulating YER
sion Of the eternal tragedy of the heel
of Achilles. No man, says the play, is
so strong that he cannot be hurt Ar
mold Daily is the egoist, and he acts the
part Of a supremely self-suficient man
with rare skill and little apparent ef-
fort.
There are a number Of crudities, not
a few Inconsistencies and a superlative
bypath or so in 1.-THE Master" but these
are Of little consequence beside the
fact that the play is interesting
throughout and at its best absorbing.
The final scene between the Master,
played by DAILY, and the Japanese doc
tor, well acted by Edward Abeles'
rings as true a note as any STRUCK IN
the theatre this season. II is a scene
in which one would not care TO add
lot or subtract a title.
The Master is doctor and great one.
As he works by reason and without
emotion, so he would live. lie VIII
not admit that either hate or love
should sway man from his course
and when his wife betrays him IN a
manner which makes her conduct a
public scandal he grimly fights down
his rage. Bravely, he decides that her
infdelity shall be passed by. This he
must do If he would conform to the
theories which he has always main
tanned
But he finds that the dereliction OF
his wife is no escapade. She has de-
termined TO leave him, and he cannot
shake her will. The man is broken by
the blow, but at the end we find him
still defiant. The curtain comes down
as he and the little Japanese doctor
who have argued so much about alb
stract theories of life consider the
fact which has set fine and well
thought talk at naught. II is the
Japanese who says that it is not good
for man to suppress love and hate.
Whether he will or no, he must &C
cept his lot as a puppet in the hand
of a stronger force. Only God may
be an egoist.
The Master shakes his head. Theories
have come tumbling TO his feet, and he
is in no way prepared for argument,
but on the morrow he hopes that he
may again find solace in the ruins Of
his rationalism. This, Of course, is a
thoroughly wholesome play, in that 1t
breaches the morality of the ten great
religions and most of the others, but
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-06

there isn't doubt that some will find
at least cynicism, il not gross immoral
ity. in the philosophy of the Master.
even though the playwright has done
his best to hammer home the fact that
IL won't work.
There is, OF course, no special rea-
son why the chief exponent Of the emo
tional life should be a man from Japan,
which. on the whole, is devoted to a
variant school of philosophy. This we
may class as one Of the inconsistent
cies. There is some little satire on the
medical profession, which is neither
just nor much to the point This is one
Of the bypaths. Several scenes be
tween the doctor and young radical
are poorly written and farcically
played. This is one Of the crudities.
II may also be noted that in the clash
between the morality of the Master and
the conventionalism of the townsfolk
the case for the public at large is
stated so badly that the contest is no
fair fight.
SO much being set down in rebuttal
it may be observed that in tho main
the play is we'll worthy of the art OF
Arnold DAILY. Seldom has the actor sp-
pearcd TO better advantage. No one on
our stage understands so thoroughly
the value of restraint. Mr. DAILY has
the faculty of conveying the impress
sion that he is thinking. 1t is quite
possible that he does. Certainly he
can project an emotion without beat
ing his head upon a table or kicking a
door.
THE Master" is play written in
the light of the reasonable theory that
some Of the supreme crises In the life
Of man or woman come with people sit
ting in chairs and quietly talking
things over the one TO the other.
The work Of DAILY is finely supple
mented by Edward Abeles as the Jap
anese doctor. Edvth Latimer, as the
wife, is good during the major part OF
the performance, but in her final scene
she is just bit too harsh.
At the end of the second act Arnold
DAILY made a curtain speech in response
! TO the vigorous applause of first night
audience. He expressed the hope that
the play might prosper, in spite Of the
fact that he liked it We hope so, too.
"The Golden Doom" and the rest OF
an interesting bill at the Portmanteau
Theatre will be reviewed later in the
week.

NEW YORK HEARS
PIANO AND SONG
IN 3 RECITALS
Two Players and a Young So
prano Give Interesting
Programme

There were three recitals in the
music world yesterday afternoon which
possessed more than average interest
We are surely IN the midst Of rnael-
strom Of music, and an adequate &C
count of three events, all Of which
were occurring simultaneously, is OBJ
viously impossible.
Mr.. Robert Lortat is a pianist of I'M
usual abilities, which he displayed at
his previous appearance in Aeoiian
Hall. On that occasion his programme
was of more conventional type than
was the case yesterday. Mr.. Lartat is
n French artist and possesses the
virtues inherent in the best French art
He has delicacy Of feeling, refinement
of style poise and just taste. His pro-
gramme was one well calculated to
bring out these virtues. 1t was en-
tirely French and modern French.
programme not perhaps as interesting
as some which have been presented, yet
one distinctly off the beaten track.
The opening number, Paul Dukas's
Variations, Interlude and Finale" on
a theme OF J. Phi. Rameau, given for
the first time in New York, did not ap-
pear to be a composition of any great
interest or distinction, but it allowed
Mr.. Lartat TO display his technical
prowess and his variety OF tone color.
Other numbers on the programme were
Gueraud's allegro de Concert" two
Debussy selections, Deodat de Severac's
LES Fetes" and Rayel's "Scarbo." In
all of these the pianist was at home,
~ Of
required.
Another pianist Of some merit made
her debut at the Princess Theatre. She
was Pauline Mallet-Prevost. In the
Beethoven Moonlight Sonata she showed
sound musicianship, considerable
poetic insight, and an adequate tech
niaue. Her style was at times trifie
heavy, a fault which was later evident
in Chopin. Among her other numbers
were Arnsteins impressions de Notre
Dame" Op. IS, No. /; Cyril SCOTS
Dance Negre," and two pieces by
Paderewski.
Elizabeth Gutman, young soprano
who was heard here last season, gave
a song recital at the Comedy Theatre.
Miss Gutman's voice Is adequate for
her purposes, and she possesses a dis
tinct interpretive gift. In her groups
of Russian and especially in her Yid-
dish folk-songs, she displayed a wide
variety of mood and she gave them
with humor, lightness, or pathos, as
the case might be- Miss Gutmsn is a
distinct acquisition to the ranks Of the
singers of songs. Her diction is clear
her manner ingratiating, and she is
never monotonous. She was warmly
greeted by her audience.

TO see fish-fght, one must go to
Siam. 1t is the national sport, and
to the Siamese it is as fascinating as
is cock-fghting to the Malays. The men
of that country will stake on tish-fghts
not only all the money they have, but
even their wives and children.
1t is no uncommon thing, in Siam, to
see man Sinking along the street with
peculiar bulge distending some part of his
clothing. The bulge represents small
glass bowl of water containing fighting
fish which the owner is anxious to match
against somebody else's tinny champion.
The reason for the concealment is that
fish-fghting is government gambling
monopoly in Siam. Licenses to exhibit
fish-fghts are sold, bringing considerable
annual revenue to the Golfers of the King.
The unlicensed fish-fght is like cock
fight in the United States: the managers
nd spectators are liable to be arrested
and jailed
Just as cocks are bred for fighting, so
are these fishes in Siam, where special
race of game fghting-fish has been de-
veloped. They are so tiny that they are
commonly kept in tumblers of water, and
led with mosquito wrigglers and other
aquatic insects.
Despite their small size, no living crea-
lures are more fiercely pugnacious. 1t is
he males that do the fighting, always in
The manner of the duello. The object
>ught by each of the combatants is to
am and mutilate its adversary. They
at each other in rough-and-tumble
l,ion, like two roosters, trying, with
aeir strong jaws and sharp teeth, to in
let disabling injuries by biting off fins.
The fins and tails of these fighting-fish
re huge relatively to the size of the little
Evening star., 1916-09-24
Fish that Build Nests

RUT there are other points in which the
- fighting-tsh of Siam is remarkable and
even extraordinary. For one thing, it is
an air-breather-not depending, as do
other fishes, upon oxygen liberated by
plants. Hence it will thrive, and re-
produce its species, under conditions that
for other fishes would be impossible. No
other kind of fish is so easy to breed in
captivity.
These Siamese fighting-fish have been
bred for centuries in small glass bowls and
other such receptacles, being fed with
earth-worms and chopped raw meat when
house-hies, mosquito Larvae, or other in
seets were scarce. 1t is necessary, how
ever, to separate the female from the
male, except in the breeding season, be-
cause the latter will attack even his mate
when offspring are not in prospect.
Most interesting of all, perhaps, is the
nest-building habit of this finny species.
1t makes veritable fairy nest of air-bub-
bles, which, extrudcd from the mouth of
the male. are coated with gelatinous
matter that gives them permanency, like
soap-bubbles blown from prepared fluid.
The female lays her eggs in the mass Of
bubbles thus prepared, and her mate
guards them until they hatch. Indeed,
after they are Matched, he will not allow
her to approach the young until they are
big enough to take care Of themselves.
