Walter Gibbons, his wife and six children, who have been existing in squalor and filth, and suffering from cold and hunger, are now enjoying changed conditions. Gibbons for neg lect to provide for his family has been sentenced to a year in the state work house. four of the children over fNRr years of age are at the state house and school, and the two under four are receiving temporary care from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The mother has left for Central Falls, where she has sister, and a daughter, not of the Gibbons brood. Mrs. Gibbons says she will now be able to work in a mill for her own support, and hopes to. earn enough to be able to again take possession of her children, in the course of few years. She will not be located far from the state institutions and plans to- visit the children at feast once a week While Gibbons did not do his best to provide for his family, with practically no home as a starter, he would have had, to step pretty lively to avoid the endurance of much privation and suf- fering in these critical times.

The day cannot be far off when
audiences assembling at war plays will
end gas masks provided at every seat.
The realism of modern warfare is max
ing rapid strides in the theatre. The
bombardment in "Seven Days Leave"
outdid all previous stage combustions,
only to be surpassed in turn by Get
ting Together" and now "An Ameri-
can Ace" has come to the Casino with
a store of munitions, providing for
wellnigh. continuous drum-fre. The
play may be recommended as an ex-
ceilcnt tonic for sensitive souls who
ordinarily cringe at pistol shot be-
h;r the scenes.
Lincoln J. Carter, the author of can
American Ace" is no novice at the
construction of thrillers, whether of
battle, murder or other varieties of
sudden death. It was he who wrote
Chattanooga" drama of the Civil
War, which was produced in 1900, and
Remember the Maine," of Spanish
American War days. Now that the
press and pulpit are doing their part
to arouse the spirit of the people, Mr..
Carter feels it his mission to join them
with all the tremendous visualizing
power of the theatre.
The day after the opening Of can
American Ace" Mr.. Carter was found
in the offices Of A. H. Woods, the pro-
ducer, and proved not unwilling to talk.
"Since the beginning of hostilites, y
said he, "dramatists have longed to
make use of the opportunities afforded
by the conditions of modern warfare
for great scenic effects. At first we
not offend the Germans. Nobody cares
any longer whether we offend them or
not. So at last we are at liberty to
draw on these spectacular opportuni-
ties, which are, indeed, practically in
exhaustible. Previous to the war every
resource Of melodrama had been worn
to tatters. Now they are renewed again
MANIFOLD"
the war play. The old formula of melo-
drama, tried and true, with its infu-
sion Of Glove interest,"" appears to be
sufficient to the day. The spy, of
course, is indispensable. Beyond that
all that is needed is a story built
around a number of scenic effects. In
San American Ace" Mr. Carter was not
content with merely two or three spec
tacular features, but employed FIVE or
six of the major order.
The greatest aid to the modern war
play is the improvement of electrical
apparatus. By this means all the ef-
fects may now be obtained in much
more satisfactory manner that were
formerly contrived by use of smoke
pots, spark pots, red fire and lacapodium
flashes, all of which incendiary and in
fernal contraptions were abolished by
law after the Iroquois fire in Chicago.
The electrical apparatus is perfectly
safe, the scenery is required to be ab-
solutely fireproof, and, furthermore,
the approval Of the city authorities
must be had for the use of cartridges
and other decorating material.
The scenic effects of "An American
Ace" were contrived in the most in
genlous manner, as explained by Mr..
Carter. Real rapid fire guns are used
in the trench scene. In addition to

Another extension of "Mrs. War
ren's Profession" which the Washing
ton Square Players are presenting at
the Comedy Theatre, with Mary Shaw
playing Mrs. Warren, is announced.
Originally intended for run of only
two weeks, the play has proved so pop
ular that it has broken all records at
the Comedy, SO when it was found pos
slble to rearrange the bookings on tour
it was decided to keep the play here
for two weeks more. The premier of
the new bill Of the Players, therefore,
on which Oscar Wilde's "Salome" is
to be given with Yorska, the French
actress, playing the name part, has
been postponed to Monday, April 22.
