ct the Greenmich VILLAGE Theatre.
TT is play for the elect, according to
Charles Darnton, who, in "The Even

'Karcn' is play for people who can listen
and think. Broadway would respond to it
with groans. But some day somebody may
realize that Broadway doesn't mean anything
but pleasant entertainments that playwrghts
who work by the clock tick off their
fingers. Why not wake up casual theatre
goers with the sting of life?
Karen draws dangerously close
to life. Its scandinavian gloom is to be
accepted as matter OF course, but it's outlook
Is clear, penetrating, merciess. I am willing
to admit there is something morbid, if you
like, in TIE Wow that Bergstrom takes of
eNistence--another and bitter word for the
answer we hope to find in the stars. He
suggests lbsens idea of things as they are

The managers of the pretty little house in
Greenwich Village may have had some special
motive for producing the Karen of the Dan

what it was. Certain it is that the piece has
nothing special to offer in the way of art.

Red-Robed France

The Huns stripped off my own green gown
And left me stark and bare;
My sons, they spread red robe down
And wrapped me in it there.
The garb they brought was red as blood
The robe was red as flame;
They veiled me in it where stood
And took away my shame.
Was ever web so costly wove
Or warp so glorious spun?
Ill wear no vestment priced above
That wide and scarlet one.
Though younger sons. some happier day.
Weave me fair green gown
Anew, or bid me don array

My heart will still repeat;
Will call, with tears, each dear, dear son

The Forward Observing Officer
HGrper's

THE glory Of Mars still fingers in this
war with the guns, writes Arthur
Hunt Chute in the January issue of
"Harper's Magazine" describing the work
Of gunners along the Western front Quite
as interesting as any Of the numerous con-
crete pictures given is that of the F. O. 0.
the Forward Observing Officer He is
the newest sort of journalist, the real re-
porter Of the trenches, according to Mr.
Chute:
ain his intelligence duties the F. O. o. is
the newspaper reporter of tho front line.
With periscope and compass, followed by IA
trusty signaller, he moves along the bays Of
the fire-trench in his quest for news. Three
balloons are observed and he takes the bear
ings Of them with hie magnetic compass.
Next he makes note of an aeroplane crossing
tho line, flying low.
Seeing a group eagerly peering at look
glass attached to the end Of bayonet,
which serves as n periscope, he inquiries,
Anything doin here, boys:'
Yes, SIR answers sergeant. 1T looks
like new emplaccment, hve degrees left Of

"The artillery officer turns his own periscope.
which magnfes ten diameters, on the object
named, and whistles to himself.
"'Yes, you're onto something, all right,
sergeant he exclaims. That's what call
the majors dugout, which we shot up some
time ago, and now they've built it up again,
only little lower. But We'll shoot it up
again tonight with our howitzers. I think
it's a machine-gun emplacement.'
"a little further along he observes a great
rent in the Boche parapet. This is the work
Of our trench mortars, which have been hav-
ing little strafe of their own sentry in
another bay shows him fuse which he has
found. The gunner recognizes the fuse as
coming from certain high velocity shell,
and makes note of a new gun on his front.
CAT night all the various items gathered
together by the F. o. o. are written down
and telephoned back to the artillery group

instruction or entertainment, of real dra-
matte interest, while it is, in many respects,
eminently unsuitable for representation be-
fore a miscellaneous audience. Had it been
the work OF an American dranatist it is pretty
safe TO say that one would have been par
ticularly anxious to bring it before the foot
lights. This does not in the least mean to
imply that it is a meretricious or insincere
work, or that it does not deal with questions
Oh grave and perpetual social interest, or
that it is not. in intent, perfectly and owlishly
serious. What it does rlcan is that Karen
is, in the main, a pretentious and disagreeablc
futility 1t is rehash Of all the old problems
OF the relations of the scxes-free love, race
suicide. paterna responsibility, etc, ETC.
which have been the stock subjects Of certain
advanced phases of modern drama for the
last thirty or forty years, and which are dis
cussed in every form Of platitudinous cruditv
without any grace of reticence or climmer Of
illumination."
This opening paragraph in the criticism
which appeared in "The Brooklyn Eagle"
gives an interesting vista by way of per-
tinent digression:
Some one once remarked about Ibsen that
he sat in a window looking out upon dirty
alley, carefully observed the happenings in
that alley and then wrote plays in which he
told what he had seen, prcfacing his plays
with the words, This is life' 1t was not
life at ALL but only u small segment of it
seen through the glasses of a little, bearded
Scandinavian who rarely saw the sun shine
except when he went to Paris"
The critic felt that this commentary
might we'll stand as a preface to any COM
ment on the present offering at the Viii
lage Theatre
Praise was generally bestowed upon the
work of the players.

quotes the broad outlines Of Enelsna,.

"() England has specified what are tn. in

England has established national agency ~
arbitration, the so-called Committee on Pm.

troversies between masters and men in n.
war industries. For the period of the war
arbitration is compulsory, and strikes ara
thereby made illegal. 90 England has taken

cabinet and ministries, the accredited renre-
sentatives Of labor, and for the lesser ad.
ministrative departments she has selected
trade unionists labor advisers (4) Enr
land has encouraged the establishment Of
shop committees to deal with employers in
matters Of shop practice, in regard to which
there are sharp differences of interest and
opinion. 60 England has entered into a ma
tional agreement with the trade unions in
volved in the war industries, to the effect
that all established union standards Of en-
ployment that in the interest of maximum
output, are abrogatcd during the war will be
restored after the war. (6) England has fos-
tered discussion and proposals which look to
the creation, after the conflict, OF representa-
tive deliberative bodies in each industry to
consider not only problems OF rehabilitation
and reconstruction, but to continue perma-
nently in existence in order - bring about
better understanding concerning such funda-
mental policies as limitation Of output, reg
ularity of employment, ard adjustment of
production to demand. There has even been
created reconstruction ministry to give i'm
mediate force and impetus to the agitation
for drastic industrial reorganization.

N7HEN it is ended how shall return
w And gather up the ravelled threads
again
Ut my past llfe-content once more to earn
My daily bread in drudgery and pain?
THAT have been one of the fellowship
Of those who dare the dangers of the sea
And known the lift and swing of big ship
Surging, full-power to action under me-
THAT have heard shells scream and seen
men die
Laughing, as if the war were but a
game;
And known the lust of battle; seen the sky
Filled, end to end, with whir!ing sheets
of flame.
and felt my veins, long coursed by slug
gsh blood
molten fire;
These have | known and l have found
them good
Can | to any lesser heights aspire?
THAT have seen Aurora's pallid spears
Defantly shaken in the face of
IIeav'n
And felt that thrill of beauty, close to
tears,
That flowers deep in the heart when,
low at even,
Out of the Western sky of palest green
When all the sea is hushed and trem-
ulous
That first bright star CLEANS forth
pure, pale, serene,
Touching the waves with silver
Hcsperus.
THAT have seen Gods fingers paint the
dawn
In bars of rose and flame upon the East
And watched the night-mists as veil
withdrawn
Fretted with gold and pearl and
amethyst.
I--that have seen the hill-high, smoking
surge,
Burst at our bows in rainbow-tinted
spray,
And heard the taut shrouds moaning like
a dirge.

4 CALL to right the wrong done the
"A magazines of this country in "a
levying of the zone system of revenue
taxes in the recent war revenue bill is
made by Rex Beach in the current issue of
"McClure's Magazine" Pointing out the
value Of magazines in keeping the Amer-
can public Informed on the war, Mr.
Beach says of the bill, in part:
son its face it purported to be merely
war tax on magazines and newspaners-an
effort to make them do their bit toward
financing our struggle to make the world safe
for democracy. In reality, it was perhaps the
most amazing, the most shameful piece of leg
islation that has occurred in our time and it
dealt death blow at that very democracy in
the defence of which we have put on our
armor
This zone system Of postal rates means
the end OF the national press OF America and
will result in a sectional press 1t means the
end Of the homa readirg circle, mas much as
it carries a death sentence 10 the majority of
American magazines. 1t spells the destruction
of a splendid educational force and effects q
censorship second only to that of Germany.
1t will result in the ruin of American writer's,
and it constitutes threat leve!led at the vast
reading public Of this country.
This new postal rate upon magazines and
periodicals. will make the cost of Transports
ton to subscribers in various sections of the
United States almost prohibitory. Most OF
the great publishing houses are in New York,
Philadelphia or Boston. A few are in Chicago
and other parts of the Middle West; few
are on the coast. No longer will magazines
and periodicals sell for the same price in the
West and South as in the East, for the war
revenue bin increases the postal rate no less
than 900 per ce-t for those Western and
Southern sections Of the United States"

Omitting the Black Fla

THERE was a great conlmotlon, not
SO many years ago, over Thomas
Hardy's failure to give his Tess Of the
dUrbervilles" happy ending. Tess, ii
was vehemently and somewhat hysterlcaLy
declared, ought to have been pardonec AT
the last monlcnt-just in time to annul the
need Of the hideous black flag. But, ac'
cording TO an ailusion to this aifall IN
"The New York Sum-" Thomas Hardy
stood out stoutly and serenely against all
such petitions.
"No," he replied, gravely shaking his
head. "The optimistic living happy ever
after always raises in HE l greater hor-
ror by It's ghastly unreality than the hon
est sadness that comes Of logical ana
inevitable tragedy. The murder that less
commits is the hereditary quality, to when
/ more than once allude in the book, work
ing out in this impoverished descendant
OF a once noble family. That is logical.
And, again, it is but a simple transcription
of the obvious that she should make rep
aration by death for her sin. Many
women who have written to me have for
given Tess because she expiated her Of
fence on the scaffold. You ask why Tess
should not have gone off with Clare and
lived happily ever afterward.' Don't you
see that under any circumstances they
"ere doomed to unhappiness? A sensitive
man like Angel Clare could never have
been happy with her. After the first few
months he would inevitably have thrown
her failings in her face"

NILS singer, who sang programme
Of songs at the Princess Theatre
Tuesday afternoon, impelled Pitts


Sanborn, in "The Globe" to dec]are:
"A stone-deaf man would find a song re-
cltal by Mrs Namara delightful But to a
man with open ears the beauty of the singer
the wonder of a frock of many colors built
IN the oblong hoopskirt manner, the harp
slchord and the floral tributes were only a
part Of the pleasure afforded by her recital.'
In The Evening World" one read that
her voice has quality, her enuncation is
clear, her art is unmistakable, and her per-
sonalty is gracious"
Her programme contained three SONGS
oy composers who were all in the audience,
namely, La Columbia" by Kurt SCHNEIDER;
II Am the Wind" by Florence Gcre, and
Meath the Stars" by Rudolph CAM.
These songs were all repeated and so was

Can go back to smoky towns and gray?
With dirty streets and sordid offices,
And stupid talk in trains with stupid
Oh, every rustic of the dusty trees
Will bring remembrance and regret and
pain.
I'll think hear the whisper as the bow
Shears deep into the phosphorescent sea
And, lifting, drips pale fire and green. Oh
how
Can life be ever as before to me?
And will your kiss delight me as of old
Whose lips have felt the seas salt.
fierce caress?
Oh, shall find your love-making grown
cold
And wearisome your talk and tender

And long and long for the gray, open sea
'And the untainted wind upon nv mouth.

Healing my soul like cool rain after
