than take this piece in the tempo OF ex-
treme farce
To Ralph Block, in The Tribune, it
seemed that "even the art theatre in
America will find much to study and pat
tern after in the Theatre du VieuX Colom-
bier" 1t is much more, he pointed out,
than Just new French theatre in New
York. Actually" he writes, sit is much
more than that, for it recalls mission
Of honesty and respect for the past Of
which the art theatre here, involved in
the discovery of 50 many new forms, has
scarcely been aware"
OF the work Of NJ. Copeau in the role
Of the rogue, Scapin, the critics were en-
thusastic. Charles Darnton, in "The
Evening World" said:
"Coqueln had his day. Copeau is an actor
whose Intelligence puts him in touch with
modern methods. First Of all, he has a
face easily expressive Of passing emotions.
His face in fact is a mask so rare in the
changes IT displays that 1t is remarkable.

formance | have ever seen. In the clowning
made necessary by Moliere he was striking
" active jumping here, hopping there, and
always in time with his tongue. His energy
was amazing
To Louis Sherwin, writing in "The
Globe" it seemed that the Copeau per-
formance was very brilliant affair
"burlesque of the highest order" He also
remarked that Louis Jouyet was an ad-
mirable Geronte, FRANCOIS Gournac an ef-
fective Argante. Indeed, according to }.
Ranken Towse, writing in "The Evening
Post" the entire company is to be praised
for interpreting "the broad humor with
delightful briskness, naturalness and in
formality."
There was a short piece which stood
first on the programme. 1t was entitled
'Impromptu du Vieux Colombier,' and
was written by Jacques Copeau himself,
who based the work on similar skit done
by Moiere for Louis XIV. Of it Louis
V. De Foe, in "The World" said
with elaborate hocus-pocus it introduced
the company to the audience, from the Lead
ing PLAYERS TO the humblest electrician and
prompters, and by their conversations, which
were dominated by NJ Copeau's own speeches
made known the aims of the project"

Ralph Lawton's Music and Lights

4 CURIOUS experiment was staged
a last Sunday afternoon at the new
Greenwich Village Theatre, when Ralph
Lawton, an American pianist from the
West, played a programme Of modern nS-
sic, supplemented with color settings
According 70 THE Sun he made favor
able impression, playing, on the whole, sd-
mirably. And "he showed that he has
not been standing still in his art, but hs'
taken some strides forward. There is dlll
insufficient nuance in his playing, but he
has gained in this respect, as also IN teen
ncal brilliance. Also his style, before
broad and clear, has ripened. After play
ing the programme behind a curtain so as
TO give his color scheme due effect, he sp'
peared in sight for the first time on th'
stage to receive the warm applause OF bis
audience"
Mr.. Spaeth, in "The Evening Mail, re
corded the following reaction:
"Mr. Lawton did not need the smos'
lengths Of near-chifon, nor the dihused' y
Aected lights which turned the gray oleA
ground into rose and violet when he thout
the compositions demanded it. he plays wi,i
a clarity. deft sureness which is extrensp

The Eyes of War

7 IKE gauzy speck in the pearling
Il dawn,
We drift through the silent skies,
Over No-Man'ssLand, where the smoke
balls spawn
And the deadly gases rise
We mark the spot where the battery
stands
Where sappers toll on the trench
Scared height.
We map each mile Of hostile land.
Where millions writhe in the battle
blight.
No silvery bugle to speed our flight.
Nor the 1utter Of banners gay;
Not war-steed's stamping for the fight,
As we rise at break Of day
Only the song Of the wind in the planes
A thrill that lives in the day-dawn's
glow
a shifting vision Of country lanes,
That wave Ike ribbons below.

The Last Work of Henry James:

4 WRITER in The Spectator tLon-
y dom contends that "it is tantallz-

ties he finds the two books interesting.

Mr.. James intended these two novels to be

he bestowed upon them and the extent to
which he recast and rewrote at least one
of them" Concerning the possibility of
