SPIES COME TO GRIEF
IN SEVEN DAYS LEAVE"
Melodrama of War and Victory
Thrills at Chestnut Street
Opera House

Seven Days Leave" by Walter Howard
had its first presentation at the Chestnut
Street Opera House last night
Nothing more cruel can be said OF a drama
lists serious work than that Il Is melodrama
and the melodramatst should be grteved by
nothing more than TO pick up his newspapers
and discover that he has produced drama,
good. bad or Indifferent.
But Walter Howard must have been satis-
fed, because he set out to write melod~ama
and wrote It. Seven Days Leave" was
written and presented frankly as melodrama
and nothing else. and It Is thoroughly good
as such and nothing else.
In ''Seven Days Leave" there are the
struggles between love and duty and love
and honor the schemng and counter r-schem-
'ns and intriguing of spies and honest men
and women. There are the msunderstandings
between lovers when duty requires one to
play the part of a rat There is the thrilling
swimming race between a German woman
and British girl There seem to be plenty
OF men around and they should do the SWIM
ming. only these days the most heroic things
must always he done by the ladies--on the
stage and IN the books.
Even the German v'llainess, being a
woman Is permitted to show a f1aah Of cour-
age and patriotism by refusing TO betrav her
country when she is caught--which a German
villain could never by any chance be per-
mitted to do.
Then there is the battle scene IN which the
U-bont is sunk. 1t Is an excellent piece Of
stagecraft as is the following scene. present

the middle of'the channel

All his big scenes are genuine, convincing
Jean Stuart AZ Lady Mary Heather, the hero

scenes are effective. Any woman can rant

There Is no partisan cleavage in the

members of the subcommittee have been
devoted in their attendance on the ex-
