You are asking. What else can we

gentleness and culture and the love OIL

world through this mad horror of war;
fare they must be cherished in the FAM

that haven you can keep the atmosphere

strengthen your loved ones for the tasks
of these stern times and save for the
children part of the rightful heritage

Then too. l invite your attention ear
nestly to the plan now developing
through the committee on public safety
for arranging a first friend for the fam
lily of every enlisted man. No other one
! thing that we can do at home will add
SO much to the efficiency of our fighting

cheer the absent soldier or sailor boy If
he can know that the family has a spec

Again YOU can help steady the public

And especially'during the coming crop

simple process of helping to crvstaljze
public opinion against industrial slack

health has right to idleness during

Not measles, or summer rashes, or

ties TALL Of them good actors) in q
roaring farce. which starts with a
bang, rushes through three acts Of
6ue-to-life comedy. and winds up
with everything all happy and the
lovers suitably mated.
The story Is of a very-oh. Awfully
very-good young man who is in
formed by his intended bride that
she's afraid to marry him for fear
he'll not always be good. and that she
thinks every good man has to "break
out sometime" So Roy. the very
good youth, decides to rush things,
and he breaks out forthwith.

NATIONAL.

It's fair question whether Among
Those Present" produced last night at
the National Theater, is more a COM
edy than II is q melodrama. However,
the question is beside the mark, for
the entertainment is decidedly enter
tanning, full of action, tense situa-
tons, good character work and lots of
amusing lines. Larry Evans, Walter
Percival, and George S. Kaufman are
responsible for the writing of the
play, and it represents an Instance in
which multiplicity of cooks did not
spoil the broth Mr.. Kaufman, Incl
dentally, was a former member OF The
Times staff. He was what is known
technically as q "colyumist," and a
good one.
Cyril Reightley adds to his Iaurels
in the role of Jimmy Burke, man of
mystery par excellence, with Julia
Hay in the part of Molly Brent, play
ing opposite him, char!ningly interest
ing as the girl who eventually wears
~the jewels" that provide pivot round
which the action whirls most ,briskly.
A. e. Anson seemed a bit obvious
in spots of his portrayal of the char
acter of Tom Hargreaves, but came
excellently out OF the fourth act epi-
sode in which the action reached it's
eliminating point, while Lynn Fon-
tanne, as Mrs. Glendenning, country
house hostess, bleating bromides in
ultra proper tones, was a delight

honors of the leading comedy man
with excellent result in the way Of
advertisement, besides displaying q
consistent smoothness of talent in
characterization.
Quite radically violating the tradi-
tions Of the "erook play" Sidney Toler
presented the personality of q much
admired detective as that of an indi-
vidual not at all immune from self
deception and other errors, and he
did 1t well Joseph Woodburn, as his
plaiDclothes associate, added rib-tickl-
ing touches notable for their striking
realism.
As to realism, Edwin Redding t=p-
plies an almost uncanny example OF IL
in the part of Snowie, the pawnbrok-
er's clerk-nervous. distrait, fearful
of night shadows and pitible an ad-
dict to drugs.

associates of their principals. Indeed,
the entire company is to be praised.

GARDEN.

Renovated, reseated. and with a
cool cement floor replacing the for

Theater opened it's 191s-19 season
yesterday, presenting as the major
feature of the bill for the first two
days of the week, Madame Olga Pc
trova's latest release, Tempered
Steel"
The story Is of the experiences Of
Lucille Caruthers, a beautiful young
girl from the South, who, despite
the wealth and social position of her
family, is bent upon a career in the
theater. Ratakin. the actor under
whose guidance she attains her OBJ
ject, becomes insanely Jealous when
Archer, the theatrical mogul Of the
metropolis, secures her services. On
the opening night of her first play
Ratakin enters Miss Caruthers'
apartment and attempts to dishgure
her by throwing vitriol in her face.
In self defense she shoots him.
Rather than ruin the reputation OF
her manager she goes on at the ap-
pointed hour and scores the hit Of
her career. It subsequently develops
that Ratakin was killed by a stroke
of lightning and not by bullet.
The bill is completed by a Happy
Hooligan animated cartoon, and will
be featured Wednesday and Thurs
day by Louis Glaum in "Wedlock."

real talent, q dash of the homely COM
edy that makes us all kin, and a
thread of melody woven into the woof
of the bill were the ingredients which
made Keith's entertainment a cooling
concoction for hot weather last night.
