WHEN NEW YORK GROWS PATRI-
OTTC

Here is an impressionistic study of New
York in the throes Of a Liberty Bond
campaign, as gathered from a careful
reading Of New York newspapers during
the last few weeks: Actresses, actors and
movie stars emitting patriotic sentiments
before a battery of cameras; brass bands
in khaki; airplanes "bombing" the city
with pamphlets; brass bands in blue;
young men leading the crowds in cheer
ing, using the spectacular methods Of col
lege football cheer leaders; French brass
bands; parades of floats; parades of Red
Cross nurses; English brass bands; tanks;
sermons; advertisements by all depart
ment stores; parades Of French "Blue
Devils''; Canadian brass bands; parades
Of Pershing's veterans; parades Of ele-
plants and camels from the circuses and
geological gardens; parades Of boy scouts,
girl scouts, lawyers, doctors, Elks, Repub-
licans, Democrats, Baptists; marine brass
bands; posters, handbills, electric signs;
cabinet ministers; vice presidents; past
president, future presidents; governors;
brigade Of senators and congressman;
mayors; more brass bands; more parades.
Then repeat the next day.
Of course, up here in Fargo, we only
advertised the bonds and then got out
and sold them in week, instead Of
month, but then %Ethe West isn't aroused
to the full meaning Of the war YETI We
haven't learned it is continuous vaude-
vile performance.

"MisterAntonto " Inadequate
Vehicle For Otis Skinner

For two acts or more his misfortune
furnishes the only comedy OF the
play.
One also cannot help feeling that
Mister Antonio's tndecision at what
is supposed to be the climax OF the
play, is less his than the dranatist's.
The latter, apparently, did not quite
know what to do with his characters
when he had them assembled. He
hesitated for two acts and finally got
rid Of them the best way he could.
Capitano was the one consistent,
logical character.
Putting Mr.. Skinner into such a
vehicle is like assigning the lion
tanner of a circus the job Of selling
peanuts. OF course he did it well.
He almost .vita1ized Mister Antonio
Camaradon1o, but to one who re-
members the staggering Hail, it is a
sorry jolt.
The supporting company is not q
distinguished one, but none Of the
members offend. Mr.. Harrington
called for a company Of types, -
supposedly American rural types,
and It is not difficult to fill such a
cast. It would be an injustice to
say that the members of Mr.. Skin
ner's company are merely type"
actors and nothing more, but the
dransatist permits Of no originality
Of Interpretation. He has the Hiram
Hardscrable type OF darkest New
England; the ninists.'s son. weak
and inefHectual;. the we'll known
stage minister; the we'll known stage
minister's wife; the well known viii
lage constable; the well known viii
lage belle; and all Of them with the
possible exception OF the well known
country pumpkin. Why he forgot
the pumpkin to help share the bur-
den OF comedy relief with the idiot,
is not explained.
But it was an Otis Skinner pro-
duction. Anything that Mr.. Skinner
does is interesting, and there was at
least one member OF his audience
last evening who would cheerfully
pay to hear him interpret a drama
tization of a page OF Webster's die
tionary.-J. E. r.

NEWS AND COMMENT,

So few Of us have yet learned that "The
Star Spangled Banner" is not an exit
march. At the performance of "a Kiss
For Cinderella" Friday evening, the ma
tional anthem was played at the conclus-
ion Of the performance, and probably not
more than forty persons stood at respect
full attention. Of course it was not in
territorial disrespect, but well, why
not be at attention both physically and
mentally?
Norway has 1,761 reasons for going to
war against Germany. They are 755
ships sunk and 1,0O6 seamen murdered.
Norway is helpless against her powerful
neighbor, but the murder of these seamen
and the sinking of these ships, cannot and
should not be forgiven.
Since Director Muck was informed, they
are calling it the 'Bocheton Sympathy or

entrance fee of five cts. was charged
