Mantell as "Hamlet." /"

At the Belasco last night Robert
Mantell trod familiar ground in the
role of Hamlet, one of the first of the
Shakespeare plays to which he gave
attention as he gradually put aside the
more superficial romantic roles for the
English classics. The play is one of
great interest to students, containing
some of the most characteristic beau
ties of the poets style as well as some
of the most abrupt descents into hard
literary mechanism-such as sheer word
juggling and the rhyming couplets-
which suggest the intrusion upon the
skill of a poet of some Elizabethan
stage managers practical sense"
Mr.. Mantell gives to the role the air
of sensitive and poetic youth, despite
the vigorous personality which equips
him for Macbeth or Lear. Frank Peters
came into praisew orthy prominence in
the part of Polonius. Miss Hamoer as
Ophelia and Mr.. Lieber as Laertes re-
newed the favorable impression they
made on the opening night of the en-
gaSement The same beauty of scenery
and costuming that distinguished the
production of The Merchant of Venice"
Monday, was in evidence last night.
Tonight Mr.. Manteu will appear as Riche-
lieu.

entirely new travel talks, will begin
his annual season of five successive
Sunday evenings and Monday after
Moons. January IA and Is. at the Be-
lasco Theater.

ton and forging ahead under a new
garb of western civilization. Side lights
of a little known life in the countries
visited have been searched out, found.

scenes and thrilling motion pictures.

given follows: Japan Today" 1.-The
New China" "Peking," including a trip
through the imperial palace; "Korea''
and Hawaii" with a stop-over at
Manila.

New York Symphony Concert.

Walter Damrosch and the New York
Symphony Society need no introduction
to Washington. The anticipation of
an entire Wagner program to be rem
dered by this famous organization is,
especially to lovers of the works of the
great German composer. only exceeded
by the realization as experienced by
the large audience present at the Be
lasco Theater yesterday afternoon.
Nine. Julia Claussen, mezzo-soprano
of the Chicago Grand Opera Company,
was the soloist. Her late arrival forced
Mr.. Damrosch to substitute the prelude
from "Lohengrin" for her first number
This was to keep the audience in the
atmosphere of Wagner, as Mr.. Dam
rosch was pleased to put it. While
MANY may have felt that concert soloists
should not use trains permitting such
a short margin of time between arrival
and hour of concert, Nine. Claussen was
readily forgiven after her superb rendi-
tion OF "Kundry's Wooing." from par
sifaI." and Brunhilde's "Immolation,"
from "Gotterdammerung." Her voice
is powerful. very sweet in the mixed
register. and in every way adequate to
the requirements OF Wagner.

Naval Activities Expected.


''The seizure of the lower Danube and
the use of the river as a means of
entrance into the Black sea for Ger
man submarines would be an attractive
program, affecting adversely not only
the Russian campaign in Armenia, but
also the other campaigns of the allies
in the eastern Mediterranean. We can
hardly expect a winter campaign by
Germany on the whole Russian front
but in May all the armies will be in
movement and Russia is not likely to
exclude from her calculations the trans
fer of German weight to the left by
rail and an advance on Petrograd in
cooperation with the German navy"
The writer anticipates a sea attack
by the navies of both the central pow
ers. IF economic conditions" he con-
cludes. "are as calling in Austria and
Hungary as they seem to be we must
naturally expect before long violent
effort by their navies to break the
blockade which is strangling them. If
it comes it will be delivered with all
their forces united and with the last
degree of energy. Nothing must turn
our minds from the constant expecta-
ton of this act of despair"

The Bowery Burlesquers," the coming

tirely on harcourt's shoulders. His as
sistants are Billy Foster, Marty Seamon,
Grace Anderson and Edna Green. This
years vehicle is entitled AT Lobster
Beach," a two-act extravaganza in four
scenes, presenting a burlesque of the ad-
ventures that befall social climbers at
fashionable resorts. The second act

MAYSTR|KE|TALY
IN NEAR future
Germans, However, Expected
to Deliver Chief Blows at
Russians in 1917.
NAVAL ACTIVITY FORESEEN


BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 10.-The military
expert Of the Times, discussing the
question of Germany's probable war
plans in the near future, expresses the
opinion that Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg may attempt blow against Italy
before the spring finds all his opponents
prepared to meet him with their full
strength. The writer dismisses the pos
of an attack on the western
front as remote, but says that the Ger
man chief of staff may use his float
ing balance of reserves" against Gen.
Cadorna because twenty more divi-
sions. added to the thirty three Aus
trian divisions facing Italy. would give
him good chance Of doing some
thing"
After saying that the situation in
Switzerland must not be disregarded
since neutrality counts less than moth
ing to the Germans" the writer finally
concludes that Russia will be Won Hin
denburgS main objective.

Russia to Receive Blows.

with 135 divisions on the Russian
front" he says. won Hindenburg has
the power necessary to conducting a
fresh campaign with vigor, and the
current operations in Rumania tend to
throw back the Russian left and place
the Austro-Germans in a better posi-
ton for continuing the attack on Rus
sia than they could boast last autumn.
The Germans declare that they are i'm
pressed by what they term the in
ternal disorganzation of Russia, and
affirm that the Russian armies are ex-
hausted and short of war material The
railway system is far
superior to the Russian, and the Ger,
man auxiliary service act will supply
the drafts needed for an offensive cam
paign. Russia must certainly be pre-
pared to find herself in 1917 the anvil
for the German hammer.
Meanwhile the present German de-
sign is obviously to secure the line
of the Sereth, perhaps of the Pruth
and in any event the mouths of the
Danube. There the German line. so
extended when Rumania
came in, will be shortened to the least
possible length. Many divisions can
