Mansfield Collection
At National Museum,

The National Museum in Washington
has received and placed on exhibition
the Mansfield collection of theatrical
effects. They represent all the cos
tunes, jewels, crowns, insignia, swords,
hats and shoes worn by the late Rich
ard Mansfield in his extensive reper-
tore of historic characters.
The collection was offered by the ac-
tors widow, Mrs. Beatrice Mansfield.
1t contains the costumes and acces-
sories which he wore in over twenty
productions. These represent the lit
erary productions Of Shakespeare, Mo-
llere, Schiller, Toistoy, Rostand, Shaw,
Stevenson, Charles Warren, Octave
Feuillet and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The
costumes and armor are accurate re-
productions from all the periods repre-
sented and embrace exact copies from
such originals as exist or from such
accurate sketches of others as survive
of the dress of Marcus Brutus, King
Henry Y Of England, Car Ivan the Ter
rible, Don Carlos of Spain, Napoleon
Bonaparte, Beau Brummel and Molfere
CATER whom Mansfield costumcd his
Alceste in Moleire's "Thc Nissan

The installation of this collection by
the National Museum constitutes not
able recognition of the historical value
OF dramatic art and of the work of a
dramatic artist.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-22
By Haywood Broun

The dramatic horors of the Great
War seem to belong to man who deals
in miniatures. Four one-act plays of
m Barrie are now available in book
form through the publication of
archoes of the War" by Scribners. In
an age Of Galsworthy and of Shaw. Bar
vie is distinctly minor playwright,
Int his limitations have served to aid
him in bringing the war to the stage.
He is content to dodge the task of
aramatizing the heart and spirit of
nation in favor of telling the story of
charwoman or superannuated Off
GER. His one attempt to deal with the
var in the large manner was failure.
aDer Tag cannot begin to stand on
level with "The Old Lady Shows Her
Medals or "Barbara's Wedding."
1t is worth noting that in the entire
series of four war plays contained in
the recent volume no gun is fred, no
bomb falls, no wounded soldier ap-
pears. These, then, are plays of the
side streets. for in spite of the made
auacy of all trench plays the war was
thing of guns and bombs and wounds.
But in choosing the easiest way Barrie
has also done much the best work.
While others have f>.iled with big
things, he has succeeded admirably
with little things. OF course, we do
not mean to imply that no big emotions
sre touched upon in the four plays.
Barrie takes these emotions and PLAYS
with them gently. He does not wake
them, though under his touch they stir
now and then. This is the safer way.
Barrie suggests enough of the pathos
Of the war to win tears in all decencv.
To do more would be to rip and wrack
an audience to such an extent that no.
body would care to come to the theatre.
Probably when the great war play
comes it will be failure for that very
reason, "Moloch," for instance. was al
Nmost great and nobody, including the
Reviewer, liked il.

year is "The Well Remembered Voice."
This was played most successfully in
England. and in reading it gives every
promise of stage efficiency. It is one
of school of plays which is sure to be
on the increase within the next two
seasons, for it deals with life after
death. This seems to us an absorbing
topic. There are few snobs, to be
sure, who pretend that they are not
interested in the question of life after
death. A few say they don't want it,
and almost go SO far as to intimate
that they will not accept it. These
speak with seeming enthusiasm Of
endless Sleep" and yet they are sell
dom among the number who 20 to bed
early.
Personally, we are in favor of i'm
mortality. 1t is difficult to understand
an enthusiasm for Karma or any ad-
joining state on the part of those who
have drunk Pilsener heard Caruso or
seen the Dooleys. 1t is true that life
after death rs presented in plays and
novels never seems very attractive.
But, after all, these authors and play
wrights may not have the last word in
fixing up the scheme of things.
Barrie's play, "The Well Remembered
Voice." deals with family which has
lost a son in the war. The mother is
holding a seance in an effort to COM
municate with him, and, although GER
tain results are obtained, they are diff
ficult because the father does not be-
lieve and is antagonistic But when
the others have left the room it is to
him that the son appears. The father
sees him, but he is not visible to the
| audience, nor to any of the other char
acters. The audience fares little bet
ter than the unseeing folk of the play,
for it hears the boys voice as he sits
in big easy chair and chats with his
father The talk deals for the most
part with commonplace things. "Has
the bathroom tap been mended yet ??
asks the spirit. And, again, he wants
to know how his dog is getting along.
In that we find no very attractive
| propaganda for life after death, but
then we have a dog and sometimes VIC
have plumbing. Those seem to be the
sort of cares from which there should
be escape. Some people want theil
dogs in Heaven, but we'd just as soon
leave Michael behind. He'd be sure tc
roll in milk and honey and then jump
all over US.
One speech paints a more attractive
