The Play that
Turned Failure
Into Success
Crowth of Patriotism, Saued
"The Man Who Stayed
At Home"

season or two ago there was pro-
dpeed in New York play called "a
Successful Calamity" and everybody
.sreed that the title was quite re-
narkable. So was the play. At the
rorty.eighth Street Theatre there is
,lav which might be called "a sue

America under the title of "The White
Feather" three years ago. As such it
vas failure.
An enterprising young producer from
Pittsburgh, William Moore Patch, took
hold of it, changed its name and
straightway lost many thousands of
dollars on it. But the difference be-
tween Mr.. Brady and Mr. Patch is this:
Mr.. Patch stuck and Mr.. Brady didn't.
To be sure Mr.. Patch rewrote the
play completely. Originally the scenes
we're laid in England and the action
vas based upon the movement Of Amer
lean troops across the Channel to the
Western front. The scene is still Eng
land, but Mr.. Patch has centred the
action around the movement of Amer
lean troops through England on their
way to the Western Front. In addition
to this, he has written into the dialogue
lines as to what should be done with
German spies in America; the need of
universal compulsory military train
ing law as permanent policy for the
United States, and last, but not least,
the assertion that there is no difference

One Jones Who
Makes Sets in
the Plays Mood
He Visits No Foreign Climes
Nor Vuunts Himself
at Home

Making an ordinary name extraordi-
nary by genius must be fascinating
pastime. Some day when Robert Ed
mond Jones is not so very busy, which
happens seldom, and when there is an
opportunity to look up the work of
Inigo Jones in the sixteenth century,
an interesting monograph may be
written concerning Four Centuries of
Joneses in the Theatre at Large.
Meanwhile, some work of the pres
ent-day Jones is available in the set
tings for the Ibsen season at the Plym-
outh Theatre. 1t is possible to pre-
pare an Ibsen setting by going to Nor
way for a year, and absorbing atmos-
phere. That has been done. Happily,
it is also possible to go to an Ibsen
rehearsal, think for day, and create
atmosphere, which is the Aethod en-
ployed by Robert Edmond Jones.
Briefly, as the artist himself out
lined his process, it is possible and
normal for an artist to cast aside all
tradition, all realism, and put himself
simply in the place of the playwright
whose play is to be staged. The play
wright expresses himself in words.
The artist expresses the same senti-
ments in color and design, and the re
suit is setting that is unmistakably
in the mood of the play
The outline of his method was as
much as could be cleaned from several
conversations with Jones. He seldom
talks of himself. He has been ac
claimed as the best scenic artist of
the modern stage, but no one will
make kim admit any claim to immor-
tality. That is one of his differences
from the common or grinnichvili art
ist. He will discourse upon a thousand
interesting topics, as to the marvellous
and unappreciated ability of property
men to find exactly the right sort of
chair, Of porcelain stoves such as he
secured for the second setting of The
Wild Duck" of surprisingly simple
methods Of obtaining gorgeous scenic
effects, but all without once mention
ing himself as an extraordinarily
famous person for his age
There is legend current that fame
came to him first when Granville Bar

young man to design a stage setting
with "a room, two windows and a
door" The resulting scene for cha

the stage. as especially exemplified n

SEND WHEAT "oVER THERE"

There will not be another wheat

then every loaf of bread that finds

worn and burdened mother or into
the o%utstretclled hands Of a hungry
child will mean that someone here in

Do not serve rolls, mullins, hot

Most Of the so.called War Breads or
Liberty Breads have one-half or one.
third wheat flour. These are meant
for other days. II you are going to
keep Wheatless Days wholly, you
must serve no bread on these days
with a grain of wheat in It.
This is the way the housekeepers
are managing 1t.
For breakfast and lunch or supper
they are serving one Of the many
corn. oatmeal, rice or rye hot breads
that require no wheat whatsoever.
The two following recipes fill the
bill and require very little time for
preparation:
Oatmeal Biscuits.

2 tablespoons fat liquid

Mix the fat and flour, which has
been sifted with the baking powder

Why Our Eyes Sparkle.
If you should watch very closely the
eyes of a merry person when you see
them sparkle, you would probably 10
tice that the eydids nov up and
down more often under such condi-
lions than ordinarily and If you know
what moving the eyeids up and down
in front Of the pupil Of the eye does
you will have your answer, says the
Book of Wonders.
Every time the eyelid comes down
it releases q little tear, which spreads
over the eyebaaf anl washes it clean
and bright. 1t does this every time
the eyelid comes down. Now, there is
something about being merry which
has the effect Of making the eyellds
dance up and down, and thus every
time the lid down the ball of
the eye is washed clean and bright
and gives it the appearance of spark.

SAVE WHEAT FOR SOLDIERS.

(By N. D. Food Administration
Whenever wheat flour Is used when
rye, cornmeal, or barley might have
been substituted for 1t either in whole
or in part, the wheat is being wasted
almost as much as If it we're thrown
into the garbage can. At any rate
1t isn't going to feed a soldier as 1t
should.
This applies to the making OF
cakes, buildings and pastry as we'll
as to the making OF bread. 1t is un.
fair for any ~housekeeper to make
these more or less fancy dishes out
Of all wheat and so use up the flour
that her neighbor is carefully saving
by eating Victory bread.
It Is unnecessary on the other hand
to give up cakes and buildings alto.
gether for all of these may be made
small proportion OF wheat. or as many
ingenious housekeepers have already
found, they may be made without any
wheat at all as the following recipes
shows:
Sponge Cake.

l cup sugar / cup barley -four
l tablespoon lclnoa Juice
Separate the whites and yolks of
eggs, beat yolks, add lemon Juice and
