Drama
Walter Hampden a Good
Hamlet-Lively Roof Show
at the Century
By Haywood Broun

After "The Servant in the House"
Walter Hampden never obtained a
situation which suited him particularly
we'll until yesterday, when he played
Hamlet" at the Ccrt Mr.. Hampden
IS somewhat set and mature. He does
not altogether suggest the intense but
fragile spirit of the youthful Hamlet,
and yet his performance was admirable
because of the richness of his reading.
lie appealed to the ear, but never let
sense slide in mere sorority. Avoiding
all tricks of elocuton, he read with
vigor, simplicity and beauty.
Beatrice Terry was pleasant as
Ophelia, but not particularly distin-
guished. Ernest Rowan also performed
we'll, and the cast was adequate
throughout, with the possible excep-
ton of the Ghost. Re was not a terri
flying figure. There must have been
mosquitoes somewhere about Elsinore,
for his late majesty wore more netting
than any ghost we have ever seen.
Imperfect Danish sanitation undoubt-
edly had something to do with it.
Hamlet himself, 1t may be remem-
bered, spoke somewhat bluntly about
the state of Denmark. Indeed, the
Ghost was almost joyful in rendering
himself up to the "sulphurous and
tormenting flames" of his prison house.
But there was more than all excess
of mosquito netting amiss with the
Ghost. He spoke in a light barytone
voice, which failed to inspire awe.
We have always been curious to see
just what the effect would be of havln 3
a supernatural visitor speak IN high
tenor Such an innovation would have,
we believe, potentialties for inspiring
great horror. But if it isn't base, it
must be tenor; barytone won't do.
The costuming of the production was
appropriate, and the simple gray hang
inrs used to good effect. Hamlet will
be repeated at the Cort Theatre this
morning at 1920.
"The Midnight Revue" at the Cen
fury Grove, is a tasteful. lively after
the-theatre show The costuming is
exceptionally successful. There is
need perhaps of premier singer or
dancer. The chorus is pretty, but there
is no compelling female personality
Men carry the bulk of the entertain
ment Gordon and William Dooley are
as merry pair as ever risked neck
and limb for laughter. They gained
it. for their knockabout work is un-
usually skilful and humorous. Carl
Randall performs many difficult feats

Music Notes

The programme of violin pieces
played last night in Aeolian Hall by
Mayo Wadler was fresh and interest
ing. Besides a Ballade by Coleridge-
Taylor and "Humoresque" by Al
bert Stoessel. both played for the first
time here. there was the Bach concerto
in A minor, given with the novel ac-
compartment of hve-stringed instru-
ments. Goldmark's hackneyed Suite"
and few trities filed in the intervals.
The young violinist is clearly a SEN
sitive musician, but his playing last
night lacked both the vigor and the
finish which it will doubtless acquire
in the course of his further develop
ment.
David and Clara Names gave yes
terday afternoon, in the same hail, an
other of their violin and piano recitals,
which have become an indispensable
part of each musical season in New
York. Their programme, little less
austere than usual, included a sonata
by Grieg, and the slow movement from
the Sonata, Opus !, of Wolf Ferrari,
composer Of "The Jewels of the Ma
DONNA" Bethoven's "Kreutzer So
nata" brought a delightful afternoon
to its close.

NEW DRIVE LOCAL
BLOW ON BIG PLAN

Washington, June 10.-The new
German thrust between MOntdidier
and Noyon was regarded by Off
Gals today as a local operation on a
large scale, designed to consolidate
the Picardy and Atsne battle thea
tres and straighten the line for
late mass attacks either toward
Faris or the channel ports.
The same object was sought in
the pressure toward Compeigne and
Scissors and from Chateau Thierry.
The Villers-COtteret wood blocked
the success OF the movement and
the Germans are now trying to take
the defenders of the wood in the
rear. II they succeed it is regarded
that the line they seek to estab~
fish would give them a straight
front from the region of Montdidier
to some point in the vicinity of
Chateau Thierry.
There is little doubt that a heavy
reserve is maintained by General
Foch at some place within the trI-
angle formed by the new sector Of
attack, Scissors and Chateau Their
~. Compeigne is in this triangle
and is the distribution center prob
ably for the allied and American
forces holding the bulge in the bat
tie line that still separates the Pic
ardy and Aisne theatres of action.
The new thrust apparently is aimed
at Compeigne and if it brought I'M
der heavy gun fire, the security of
the defending lines north and east
of that place might be menaced.

DR.. L. A. Johnston, president OF
the Augustana synod, died at his
residence in ST. Paul this morning.
Across the Mississippi river in
Minneapolis the Augustana synod
delegates were preparing to enter
their morning session when their
president expired. The session this
morning resolved itself into one in
memoriam for the executive of the

DR.. Johnston had not occupied
the chair during the meeting in
Minneapolis last week because of
illness. He had been in poor health
since October of last year. 1t was
thought probable by prominent
Lutherans in Rock Island today
that no step would be made at the
present session of the synod to elect
a successor to DR.. Johnston, mas

Denver, first vice president, who
has been occupying the chair at the
convention can continue to fill the
duties of the Office of president
DR.. Johnston was elected last sum
mer at the synod meeting in Rock
Island as president for a period of
two years. He held the office since
1911.
He was born Aug. ~, 1855 in
