Piece Is Filled With Tumultu-
Gus Incident and Vigorous
Physical Action.
Keep 1t to Yourseif'-At the Thirty
ninth Street Theatre.

Some OF the troubles that may befall
man who Ia an easy victim OF hyp-
notism are shown IN the farce Keep
II 10 Yourself" which George Broad
hurst produced last night at the Thirty
ninth Street Theatre. The programme
gives the name of Mark Swan as the
author with Acknowledgements OF in
debtedness to a comedy from the French
of keroule and Barre. One suspects
that Mr. Swans efforts were directed
partly to removing a certain Gallo eie-
ment from the bean OF the original,
especially in view OF first act setting
In hotel chamber.
The farce is filled with tumultuous
incident and vigorous physical action.
A French hotel keeper is the hypnotic

The hypnotic comes back when the bride
groom Is out and follows the doctors in
structions.
The bridegroom Is not only an ex-
tremely jealous man, but a vindict!ve
one. and pursues the innocent intruder
With dire intent to the last. The first
act is the most successful and indeed is
hghly amusing. inc further develop
ments follow out the story logically
without resort to new themes or UNI
related material. The sc cond act events
take place in the hyLnotized mansion
hotel. where he is distracted between
trying 20 escape the husbands ven-
geance and puzzlins over perpleXinS sit
uationS that arise from his having been
hypno;ized again.
Edwin Nicander az tho hypnotic sub
jet had an unusual op ortunity for the
display OF peculiar talents. His auto
maton movements owlish facial contor-
tons and his portrayal OF terror when
IN the possession OF his faculties had
constant. fascination for the audience

FAR EASTERN ART
OBJECTS ON VIEW
Interesting Examples in Ex-
Consuls Collection.

The collection OF Far-Eastern art now
being shown in the Anderson Galleries
includes the pieces assembled by Ernest
Schernikow during twenty years con-
sular service and has the charm OF per-
sonality Although Mr.. Schernikow' 9
sense of acquisitiveness is freer and
less tFammelled than that OF most col.
lectors of classic art, his findings make
admirable ensembles. His groups OF
tiny carvings in semi-precious materials
unite into attractive color harmonies
and the blue and white pots. enamels
bronEes and embroideries all go very
we'll together.
Among the porcelains are several
brush holders OF especial interest. One
has a decoration OF figures In colors
upon a yellow ground Others are In
blue and white, the figures having been
painted with a bafiing freedom that is
a cause of envious despair TO western
decorators.

today as his conservative estimate
Of the effect of resident Wilson's note
on the German public" He Is con-
sidered to understand accurately the
political pulse of Germany.
The German people will read and
digest this note" said Koettgen, and
then the upshot will be that they will
get rid OF the kaiser, because they in
tend to have peace. And they will not
count the cost a huge one, either, for
they do not love the kaiser the way
the American public thinks they do.
THE kaiser's influence in Germany
for twenty years has Aested on arms.
There are three ways the Germans
may use to rid themselves OF Will

They may compel the reichstag tc
reform especially the constitution
which will lractaclly amount to a

The civilian population may fomen,

THE army, now being beaten, may
turn and send the government into

The German people are logical
once they get st-rted to work on G
