Another reminder of German warfare
and its menace in F. Stretchmans
poster, depicts a Hun peering over the
edge of ravaged Europe, clinging to a
bloodied bayonet, with hungry eyes fixed

Cartoon simplicity is illustrated in a
poster by J. Allen St. John, called "The
Hun-His Mark" and showing only a
bloody hand-print: blot 1t Out With

things she does. She is net Wit, but
her plays are the wittiest now being
shown. She is sentimentalist, but her
plays are the most humorous New York
has seen for a long time. She has
nothing so direct and clear cut in her
style as the propensity for paradox
would demand, but her writing style is
full of the kind of opposition and in
version which Eliminates life by hold
ing it up and whirling it in the light.
Her plays are formless, skinny, as light
as the summer clothing Of a dryad and
as easily caught by all the winds. Yet,
hunt up and down Broadway to find
anything as possessed Of style, of quail
ity, of that indistinguishable but essen
tial thing that separates art from mer-
chandise.
The point about Clare Hummer, If
anything SO definite as a point can be
found about her, is that she herself has
a highly complicated and civilized way
of looking at things. You can charac-
terize it. but you can't successfully say
what it is. it is eltin, it is feeting. it
is flashing like VIII O. the wisp
through the woods. 1t is a sudden smil-
ing face peering around the corner of
the world and then gone suddenly out
Of view. 1t is kitten that can't be
caught always being an ell beyond
where your hand is when you grab
at it.
Wit nowadays has become highly
conventionalized. A well educated
playgoer can make out a pattern for
witty plays and find that they all fall
into two or three styles. He can even
time the repartee and come pretty close
to it. But there is nothing like this
in the Hummer plays. And being IN
conventionalized, entirely out Of the
expected pattern. it performs the func-
ton of the laughing arts in a special
and highly successful fashion.
What is the aim OF laughter but to
break up what has become set. to in
form and tighten life by shattering all
cliches, all formaisms, exposing all
the rigidities men adopt partly out OF
human stupidity and the failures Of
human insight, and partly because of
the pressure of living? But to become
aware of laughter before it happens is
to blunt the edge Of it.
That points the way to Clare Kun
mer. She is entirely unexpec.ed-al-
ways. Her plots are as unexpected as
her people and the things they say
One reason they are unexpected is be-
cause they are so much like real things.
And for so long that has been taboo
on the stage.

'fCrouded Hour"
Shows Much Skill

of the old French woman in "The
Crowded Hour" even if they do not
understand word she says.
The authors have been careful to
translate only the important speeches
and in each case they have arranged
the situation so that the translation
shall seem to be made solely for the
benefit of some one on the stage, and
not for the audience at all.
"The Crowded Hour" has its moments
of false sentiment, but some of its mo-
ments are real, and even if its story is
not always eloquent it is generally in
telllgent, and that is more than can be
said for most of the war plays.
We mean intelligent in a dramatic
sense. Not all its military implications
are correct. Neither telephone girl, for
instance, ever salutes any superior Of
ticer, while the young French liaison
officer seems to have almost as wide
powers as a Marshal of France. We
also wondered just what sort of pro-
Jectiles Orme Caldara had been en-
counterlng at the front. He came out
of the trenches with his uniform full
of small holes and rips. He seemed
much more like man who had been
TO Madison Square mass meeting
than veteran of the trenches.
Any player who is cast to act a
shouting scene with Georges Plateau is
apt to lose the scene. This young
French actor has such a sure command
OF English that when he is called upon
TO play at top speed and somewhere
near top voice he never loses anything
Of Conference.
Please accept my sincerest thanks
for your kindly appreciation of MY set

'Whe1 q Feller Needs

The Stage WOman'S War Relief will
launch drive in aid of the Allied War
Orphans by presenting at the New Am

Friend" by Harvey O'Higgins and Har-
riet Ford. The authors have donated
the play, Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger
have donated the theatre and George
Broadhurst has given the scenery.
Claire Briggs, the cartoonist, who

with pictures of the cast and full stage
instructions, for distribution among
amateur dramatic societies throughout
the country, who will pledge them
selves to present it in their commu-
mites for the Allied War Orphans
Fund.
That the little wars of the war NAV
be given some of the necessities of
life in the long hard winter of North
ern France that is upon them, a group
OF famous actors and actresses and
famous director have volunteered their
services for this performance.
The brilliant cast, assembled under
the direction of Arthur Hopkins, in
cludes Viola Allen, Maclyn Arbuckle,
Florine Arnold, Janet Beecher Emmett
Corrigan, Robert Edeson, Shelley Hull,
0. P Heggie, Tim Murphy Hamilton
Revelle, Charlotte Walker, H. B. War
ner and Helen Wesley.
President Wilson has approved the
plan. Prominent members of the Cabi-
net, as well as Governor Whitman and
District Attorney Swami, are giving
their personal Endorsement to this ap-
pealing and worthy effort, and there
is no possibility of profit for any one
except the thousands of destitute or
phans left in the wake of the war.
