AMUSEMENT NOTES
A Supreme Moment in Play Built Upon
the War

The big scene in J. Hartley Manners
new play, Out There" which scored
such an enormous success in New York
and viii be seen at the opera house Sat.
urday night, Dec s, with Elsa Ryan in
the Laurette Taylor role, is transcript
from real life, as are many of the char
acters and incidents in this most unusual
piece.
The supreme moment of the play is at
the end of the second act, when Miss
Ryan, in the character of little Cock
ney drudge in a military hospital be-
hind the British lines in France,
sings a delirious soldier to sleep with
that touching old lullaby, Rock "a Bye
Baby" The soldiers delirium takes the
form of the incessant repetition of the
words, One two three, four-charget
which are presumed to have been his last
words before being struck by piece of
shell.
Such an experience actually befell Miss
Suzanne Sheldon, who served as a nurse
in a French hospital and had as her es-
pecial charge one night a soldier who.
kept repeatedly counting as does the sol
der in the play. She tried many meth
DDS of soothing him and finally hit upon
the notion Of singing the old nursery lul-
laby as she leaned over his cot II had
the effect Of almost instantly lulling him
to sleep.
