William S. Hart at Columbia

William $. Hart comes to the Co., lumbia for the week end in a famous
 western production, The Primal Lure" It has to do with the early days of the west when our forefathers blazed a trail of civilization from the Atlantic to the Pacific. with life and bloodshed. It tells of the struggles of the early pioneers as they wended their way westward, and the dangers that beset them on every side. when the red man ruled the plains. There is a story of throbbing heart interest throughout the picture which gives it rank with the best productions that this famous western star has ever appeared in. On
 the same program is the weekly screen | telegram and a Strand comedy.
 On Saturday the special matinee for
 the children will be one of the best juvenile programs ever shown at the

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 roper
tore of historic characters.
The collection was offered by the ac-
tors widow, Mrs. Beatrice Mansfield.
1t contains the costumes and Access
series 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-
scented 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
thrope"(.
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.

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 failed 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.
Two Of the Barrie plays have been

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.

Barrie s Contribution to
Drama OF the War

seen here already "The New Word"
was played twice, once with Norman
Trevor ard Gareth Hughes in the chief
parts and again with Lyall Swete and
fhslip Tonge. Both performances were
effective, although the second brought
out the values more clearly. "The
Old Lady Shows Her Medals" received
an even more brilliant performance.
beryl Mercer, in the role of the char
woman, was gorgeous. She brought
even more to the performance than the
playwright gave her. Few actors in
this country have done Barrie such
favor as that. On the whole, his Amer
lean reputation has been built up in
spite of faulty interpretations. No
BODY has yet done anything like justice
to peter Pan" Certainly not in this
country.
When Barrie writes for the stage he
thinks very definitely in the terms of
the theatre. His plays do not begin
to read as we'll as they act. The con-
cessions which he makes for the read
ing public in the matter Of expanded
and narrative stage directions are a
handicap. rather than a help. We could
not miss the impression that he was
trying to initiate Shaw and doing il
badly. Moreover, in the stage direc-
tons there is consciousness Of whim-
sicality and, perhaps, sweetness, which
is happily lost once the dialogue be-
gins. Nobody writes dialogue much
better than Barrie. His printed PLAYS
should be all dialogue and then we
should escape. Here are the muff and
the gloves and the chiffon, and such a
kind old bonnet that it makes YOU
laugh at once; I don't know how tc
describe it, but it is trimmed with q
kiss, as bonnets should be when the
wearer is old and frail" 1t is hard to
believe that the duffer who wrote those
lines into the stage directions of "The
Old Lady Shows Her Medals" did the
play itself with all its shrewd, patient
humor.

York will probably see some time next

VALUE
OF FOREST AND

Fires Reported to the State
Forester Give a Total of
1916 Over 100000 Acres.

Sacramento, Cal, Dec. 23.-Reports
received by the State Forester give
total of 1916 forest. brush, grass and
grain fires in California in 1918. which
burned over an area of 100000 acres
and destroyed timber, foods, feeds
and improvements valued at 81 $685.
758. This includes the fires repoTted
hy the United States Forest Service
inside the National Forests as well as
those reported by voluntary and coun-
ty fire wardens on areas outside.
This largest fire in the state this
summer was in Humboldt county.
where 80 square miles of redwood and
tanbark oak timber were burned, caus-
ing loss Of at least one million dol
lars. Placer county was swept by
fires. and it was only with the greatest
difficulty that several summer resorts
near Dutch Flats were saved. A
rancher in Los Angeles county burned
brush on windy dav and the fire
escaped, 3-stroving Lookout MouT-
tain Inn, near Hollywood. Fires in
Butte county burned over thousands
of acres of timber and range.
Wheat, barley and hay valued at
more than S268,000 was burned this
summer, and had it not been for the
efforts of the rural fire-fghting and
motor reserve companies the loss
would have been several times that
amount. The greatest losses were in
Merced, Stanislaus, Sutter, Yolo, Te-
hama and Glenn counties. The great
majority of these fires could have been
prevented, since they were caused by
hot carbon from the exhaust of trac-
tors and auxiliary engines, or by the
burning of stubble without proper
precautions heing taken. The State
Forester will introduce a bill in the
LEGISLATURE during the coming session
which. if enacted into law, will COM
pei the placing of adequate spark
arresters and fire extinguishers on all
grain harvesting machinery.
The fire situation in the state will
not be handled satisfactory until the
State Board of Forestry is authorized
to install and maintain a fire patrol
system. A clearly defined bill making
this possible. as well as giving the
State Forester authority to render
financial assistance in time of need
will be introduced at the coming ses-
sion Of the Legislature.
