town Players show themselves to be re-
sourceful in achieving effective set
tings. The effect of depth and of ex-
pansc is finely attained on the tiny
stage, and the deep blue light in which
it is played keys to the tone of the
drama.
The plays that make up this review
bill (and the post season one to follow
next month"; represent the best work
picked from the productions of two
seasons and in the aggregate the quail
ity is astonishingly high. They are
alive with an eager insistcnce that life
is more unique and amusing and roig-
nant than the dramatists have hereto
fore led us to believe. IN them lies
the justification for this semi-amatcur
organization, for they have picked up
odd bits OF life that are not usually
regarded as materials for plays

In the review bill Of one act plays
which the ProvincetoWn Players have
been presenting for the last week lies
the answer to all those who have
damned with faint praise or .heir out
spoken scorn the efforts of the hopeful
amateur. Through these four onc-act
plays blows mere free air than has
coursed through all the uptown the
aires in the whole Of the last season.
There are plenty Of sharp corners to
Provincetown Players production.
One does not need condcscending
Philistine resentful that he is robbed
of his Sultanesque ease amid the as
celtic appointment Of his play house
to tell one that the rather precariously
slung paraphernalia creaks as it get
under the way, and that the senses are
rasped by unprofcssional intonations
and attitudes.
But these external awkwardnesses
arc in sense the sign of an inward
grace, the symbol Of power not yet at
full growth. The suavity of finished
productions is not there, but neither
is the frequent fiat dulness. 1t i.
true that good many Of the plays do
not come of-but that is not from lack
Of trying to achieve something fresh.
Bound East for Cardiff" is one of
the earliest of Eugene O'Neills sea
plays and one Of the best. There is
no straining after atmosphere here
Its restraint and simplicity are classi-
cally noble. There is no moment of
deviation from sincerity, no moment
of letdown in this tragedy. In the
foc's'le of tramp steamer a sailor is
dying, and III the broken sentences he
exchanges with his chum is painted in
deep background OF his life that is
just barren graynoss pricllcd here and
there by futile loys and still more fu.
tile violence. The life of the sailor
is seen here with no false sentiment
1t is realism so intense that 1T achieves
the ultimate poetry which lies in truth
"Womans Honor" is a discursivc bu,
amusing play dealing with the plight OF
a chlvalrous young man who Will &c
TO his death rather than establish his
abb by telling with whom he spent

We don't profess to know the intcn-
ton Of Benavente, in Bonds of Inter-
est" but we think it possible that the
illusion Of the piece being puppet
show should be at least suggested dur
ing the course Of the piece. The char
actors are introduced as puppets and
end with the puppct theme again re-
vivcd, but there is nothing to bridge
this together. We are aware, of course,
that the play would be dull, indeed, if
the puppet suggestion were strongly
emphasized throughout the course of
the play, but we think that it might be
quite in spirit to have it indicated
ever so slightly.

In our first night review Of "The
Jest we were not quite just to Lionel
Barrymore. We spoke of his exceed
ingly effective work, but made the
reservation that it was a comparatively
easy role That IL not quite true.
After seeing the play a second time VIC
noticed that Barrymore brought one
enormously important quality to the
play Ner, the Lionel Barrymore part,
is drawn as d brute of the lowest order,
the very abysmal brute about whom
Jack London used to write. Now, four
acts of sheer brutality would get on the
nerves of any audience If there were
not some saving grace. Lionel Barry
more brings this. He saves the char
acter and makes him effective by play
ing the part with broad undcrcur-
rent of humor. We come to realize
that when Ncri kills some one it is not
from mere codbloodedness, but partly
because he has rather liberal ideas
about practical jokes.
Probably, Ncri carries the sympathy
OF most of those in the audience, even
when he is staggering at his worst.
The sympathetic strain is necessary in
The Jest" The one thing which COM
promised in any degree our pleasure
at watching the play was the fact that
al times its cruelty was almost too
heavy to be borne. In the dungeon
scene, for instance. where the one
brother threatens to strike the other,
bound, with a whip, we almost wanted
to cry out against it all. We were glad
when he refrained.
The spirit of the play is singularly
kin to Poe's "Cask OF Amontillado."
The interesting motive throughout is
the revenge of a calculating man. The
play is, of course, among the leading
factors in local theatrical movement
which may indicate a widespread ro-
mantle Renaissance. The Jest" is a
leader not only in its substance. bat in
setting and in acting, and yet it lacks
one excellent quality. of romance. 1t
lacks the lift which comes in those
plays in which the author has taken
advantage OF his romantic license tc
make one or two of his characters q
little finer than any of the people we
meet in the subways or the crosstowr
cars.
f. P. A. is practically correct il
speaking Of "The Jest" as verse play
Most of "the co!orful prose" of which
we spoke is blank verse, and very goot
blank verse. The play is not vers.
throughout, but most Of the lon,
speeches scan. We may be pardone,
for not knowing verse when we hearc
it because of the fact that good man,
of the players had no idea that the,
were speaking verse.
We are not at all certain that this i
not one of the chief reasons for tn,
success of the play. All too often gooc

IRISH DEMANDS
Delegation Calls On President in
New York City Before
Sailing Time.
SLIGHT HITCH OCCURS
Chief Executive Refuses to Meet Irish
Representatives Until One Men,
Der of the Party Agrees
to Withdraw.

New York, March 5.-President viii
son declined to meet the delegation
named by the Irish race convention in
Philadelphia to urge his support OF
Irish freedom until Justice Daniel F.
Cohalan of the New York state SUI
preme court, mentioned in the Bern
storff correspondence, had withdrawn
from the room at. the metropolitan
opera house in which the meeting was
held.
According to Thomas J. Breslin, a
member of the delegation, the Presi
dent asked w. J. Moran, who headed
his secret service bodyguard, to in
form the Irishmen of his refusal to at
tend the conference if Justice Cohalan
was present.
CohaIan Agrees to Leave.
At the close of the Presidents ad
dress at the Metropolitan opera house.
Breslin said, Moran appeared in the
room assigned for the meeting and de-
livered the message. Justice Cohalan
insisted upon leaving the room rather
than interfere with the conference.
Meanwhile the President, with
Joseph ]. Tumulty, his private secre'
tary, remained in an ante-room, after
having stated he would give Justice
Cohalan five minutes to leave. On re-
ceiving word that he had done so, the
President remained in conference with
the Irish delegation for nearly half
an hour.
Shy Documents Cited.
Among the documents seized by
agents Of the Department of Justice
when they raided the offices in this
city of Wolf Won Igel, the German
agent, some disclosures made by the
committee on public information, was
one marked very secret" and signed
by Count Won Bernstorff, then German
ambassador, in which the name OF
Judge Cohalan was mentioned as
transmitting the following remarks:
"The revolution in Ireland can only
be successful if supported from Ger
many. Therefore help Is necessary
This should consist, primarily, OF
aerial attacks on England and a diver
sion of the fleet simultaneously with
Irish revolution. Then, if possible, a
landing of troops, arms and ammuni
ton in Island, and possibly some Off
GERS from Zeppelins."
Justice Cohahan promptly repudiated
the message, and declared he was the
victim of British enmity.
According to statement issued by
the committee, there was misunder
standing between the President and
the committee. Inc President informed
the Irishmen he had only agreed to
receive them, accept their resolution
and hear any argument they might
offer.
