"A man interviewed me yesterday

Why? said I in echo. Everybody

Happy, why haven't been so happy

First Production
OfActOrS and
Authors Theatre
aHer Honor the Mayor
wal Be Seen at the
Fulton Tomorrow

The Actors and Authors Theatre
,,esents for its opening production
It the Fulton Theatre tomorrow even
inc "Her Honor the Mayor" by Airline
ysn Ness Hines. 1t is human up-to-
the.minute comedy, showing that
woman's efficiency in no way impairs
b.r femininity, or vice versa, and that
women can be mayors or anything else
and still remain essentially and eter-
nally women.
The second offering on the bill is a
one-act play by Hubert Osborne, en-
titled "The Good Men Do" based on the
ouotation from Julius Caesar" "The
.vii that men do lives after them. The
eood is oft inferred with their bones."
II has for its central figure the great
Shakespeare himself. The author
vouchcs for the historical accuracy of
his play, which touches on nearly all of
the known incidents in the life of one
Of the greatest figures of all times. In
his final incident he offers an imagina-
tive but highly probable explanation Of
the fact that no trace Of Shakespeare's
original copies of his plays in his own
handwriting has ever been discovered.
Mr.. Osborne's play was written in one
Of Professor Bakers courses, and first
produced at the Al orkshop Theatre
cf Harvard University 1t won the
Mcdowell prize in 1917, and was re-
Gently given at the Edwin Forrest
Home, in Homesburg, Penn, to COM
memorate the 354th anniversary of
Shakespeare's birth.
Director Frank Conroy announces the
production of a new comedy at the
Greenwich Theatre, beginning to-mor-
row night, to replace Schnitzler's "The
Big Scene," which has been the open
ing play on the current bill. The new
play, described as "roaring comedy"
is by Susan Glaspell, and is called
"Woman's Honor" The plot deals with
the trial of a man who refuses to
divulge his whereabouts on a certain
night because it would implicate a
woman's honor, when he finds that half
dozen women are ready to sacrifice
themselves in order to save him. The
play will run until the end of the
Greenwich Village Theatres season, to-
gether with Eugene Or ills "Ile" and
"The Maid of France" by Harold
Brighouse.
Selwyn & Co. present their new
musical comedy, "Rock-a-Bye Baby"
for which Jerome Kern wrote the
music, Edgar Allan Woolf and Mar
saret Mayo the book and Herbert
Reynolds the lyrics, at the Astor The
atre Wednesday night. The new piece
comes heralded as being a musical COM
edy with story that's worth while,
music that's quite the best that Mr..
Kern has ever written, cast of un-
usual merit and bewildering collec-

The Soldiers Taking Govern.
ment Insurance.

That the wise and benefcent
law providing Government in
surance for the military and
naval forces of the United States
is fully appreciated by the SOL
diers and sailors of the Nation is
being every day evidenced.
At Camp Wadsworth, Spartan
burg, S. c., during the month Of
November nearly 10000 applica-
tons were sent to the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance; II per cent
of these was for the maximum
amount of $4,000, % per cent
was for $1,000, and 6 per cent
was for lesser sums. In Is COM
panies every single man applied
for insurance; in 5 units, 3 of
them full companies, every man
applied for the maximum of
$4,000.
A spirited campaign of educa-
tion has been organized and is
being conducted to furnish full
and thoro information of the
workings Of the law to, those
coming under the provisions, and
it is believed that the great
benefits of this wise and humane
provision for the soldiers and
sailors of the United States and
their dependents will be avaiIed
of by practically all of our fight
ing men.
At the close of the business
day of December 20 the War Risk
Bureau had received applica-
tons to the number of 272.1
aggregating 59.4O2,OOO of
insurance.

THE ESTEEMED BERNSTORF'T'.

Certain influences at Berlin have
been urging the appointment Of Count
Won Bernstorff as delegate to the
peace conference. on the ground that
"he is undoubtedly more familiar
with American conditions than any
other person. and was highly esteem
ed in washington"
The Berlin Tageblatt, endorsing
this suggestion, remarks that 1.-The
numerous disclosures published by the
American press regarding the propa-
yanda ef members Of the German
embassy and of German agents nave
probably not been able to change the
view Washington had regarding
Count von Betnstorff. as it will be
known there how little these activ-
ties were in harmony with his policy.
Thus Germany still Germanize''.
