"Poor Little Sheep"

A large audience saw Eugene Wal
ters latest play at the Shubert-
Belasco last night. Poor Little
Sheep" exemplifled something Of the
same audacity in the selection of
theme and treatment that distin-
guished his sensational production.
"The Easiest Way" This time he un-
dertakes to stage historic battle be-
tween law and order and the type
OF "moderh reform" Under the name
of SOCIALISM," which has for some
time been a social diversion Of dis
tracted Russia under the name or
"bolshevism." There is no visible at

The story Is woven around the lives
of three people. Richard Putnam and

Harry Winthrop. brother OF Mary and
level-headed representative of "the
hated rich." but a loyal and devoted
friend of Putnam, whose sight has
been restored in a French hospital,
after daring deeds as an aviator
which have won him the medals Of
the valiant. A tense scene in the
epilogue discloses the motif, when
Putnam declares to his sweetheart
that his Rruelinr life in battle in

NEW GERMAN CAPITAL SEEN
Berlin Worried Lest Seat Of Govern

Berlin, Germany.-The Boersen Eel
tung, one of the ablest German news
papers, says the fate of the city is
In the balance and that ii is, perhaps,
too late to save 1t from becoming a
city of the second class, with the re-
moval of the capital and the activity
in business and political sense to
some Rhineland city. II is a theory
that has been gaining ground lately
and Is causing Berlin to lose sleep.
Strikes have followed one another
in an endless succession. The uncer-
tainty of the economic situation al
most led to a boycottlng of Berlin as
the chief work center of Germany. De-
spite the huge expense, one industry
after another left Berlin for quieter,
steadier fields.
Merchants, politicians and industrial
leaders have predicted that the trans
fer OF the assembly or reichstag would
inflict a severe blow on Berlin, espe-'
cially If IL should lead to the choice
Of another capital. \
