quality. The miscellaneous old mas

Hearn was not drawn by all the

the 1mpressicnists, or with the Whist

THE MASTER
By Haywood Broun

When playing part, Arnold DAILY
Is often successful in creating the
illusion that he is thinking profoundly.
He made some Of these thoughts articu-
late last night at the Hudson Theatre
IN one-act play of his own compost
ton called "Democracy's King" The
play served to emphasize Mr.. Daly's
skill as an actor, for his thoughts when
expressed proved to be not in the least
profound. The next time we see him
knit his brows and cogitate we will
know that the tumult within is not so
fearful after all. 1t may be nothing
more than a problem in subtraction or
compound interest.
,"Democracy's King" is an allegory In
winch the Kaiser is led out to be
hanged by, George, Albert, Poincare,
Emanuel, Kerensky and am American
The hanging is the suggestion Of the
American. Before he dies the Kaiser
points out that he is democracy's king.

talnly this observation is trte enough.
The only surprise in the piece occurs
when the rope is pulled by little chill
dren, who are told that they are play-
ing a game. They are told that the
game is called Lusitania, and the plav
ends as they cry in chorus, CAS- YOU
go up, we 90 down." This seemed to
me to be shocking bad taste and point
less as well. DAILY played the Kaiser

The major portion of the evening

is not as good as that made by Mr..
DAILY last year, chiefly because Harry
Mestayer is not able to duplicate the
exceedingly interesting performance
which Edward Abeles gave as the jap

made in the adaptation and the play

On account of our long relationship

Since early last week theatrical
