Friendly Enemies
Delights audience
At the NeW Luric

Friendly Enemies" of the type OF
plays which one recalls In years after,
as having stood out prominently among
the many others as most delightful
n entertaining, kept an audience OF
ample proportions at the New Lyric
Friday night constantly on the verge
OF either tears or hilarious laughter.
1t was a typical Louis Mann play, or
a play In which the lnimitable David
Warfield would have shone most elo-
quently, but the cast which A. II. Woods
SENDS to Memphis is equally as agree
able as the play,
Friendly Enemies" has for its theme
situations which were foremost In the
American mind during the time Amer
lea was awaiting the cue to enter the
world struggle. The Hun atrocities
were daily startling the civilized world
ana one of the elements to be dealt
with az home, wal the German Ameri-
can citizen.
Messrs. Samuel Shipman and Aaron
Hoffman, two prolific writer's OF playa
ana vaudeville sketches, have seized
upon this omportant phase Of the war,
ana through " characters have
brought to the stage one OF the most
In months.
Karl Pfeiffer, a German-born resi-
dent OF America, still blindly follows
his inherent love of the Fatherland
ana brands as Hes the atrocities ac-
credited to the Germans. His friend
~ enemy is Henry Block. a banker,
VINO came with him to America but
who has been for the country of his
adoption from the first.
Their arguments furnish material for
some of the cleanest and best humor
Y has ever been the pleasure Of Mem
phis th~eatergoers to hear. Pfeiffer,
VINO contributes to what he supposes
is a fund to set Alright the attitude OF
German-American c%itizenry, learns
that the money Is being used to sink
transports, and when one is sunk on
which his son, with the American
forces, In aboard, he becomes as
staunch an American as he was a Ger
man adherent,
So many bright lines have been WOW
en- into the play that laughs are most
abundant. The pathos of some Of the
scenes is so true to life and 80 touch
ing that there were many moist eyes
in the audience.
Friendly Enemies as a play, pre-
sents an excellent sentiment; It is a
true picture OF scenes in many an
American home In days which happily
now are past and because II rings true,
1t Is a play well worth seeing. Re-
grets win not find a place in the memo
ries Of those who see Friendly Enc
mics"
The cast, while small, is well chosen.
Henry j.. Hooper as Karl Pfeiffer, Is
most acceptable in the role created by
Louis Mann; Al ShehaR as Henry Block
adroitly furnishes the comedy in q
breezy role; Leonard Ide is able as the
German spy; June Block as the sweet
heart and Joseph Sterling as the young
soldier are well fitted to their roles and
a bit of real acting is provided by Nine.
Augusta Bermester In the role OF the
always willing and lovable old mother.

THE STORY.
A photo-pIay Of eood phiIogor

A photo-play Of good philosophy
unfolded in a story that interests,
and with an underlying parchment
that is timely and valuable is found
in "The Shepherd Of the Hill"
The drama is a perturbation of
Harold Bell Wright's everlasting nov
ell Of the same name Beneath the
surface Of the story in which There
sa quantity Of heart interest and =,
dramatic possibilities there is a mes
sage that cannot but find a rcspon-
sive chord in the hearts Of theatre
goers. The same qualities that made
the novel to be read and enjoyed by
millions viii make the photoplay
stand long as drawing attraction.
The scene Of the play is laid in the
Ozark mountains where our so-ealled
civilization has not yet spread it's re-
fining wings. A father, resolved to
blot out as much as possible the sin
of his artist son, leaves his life Of
ease and elegance to come among
these people. Among the hills Ia
the woods, he can drop the carping
probabilities Of life and can listen
to the wind, natures only voice, ais Il
sings to him it's song Of ideals, Of
beauty and strength. It's message he
transmits to the people about him.
He does not preach the gospel Of good
but acts its commandments. AS
result he brings peace where there
was unrest, forgiveness where there
was hate.
Throughout this play there is no
effort at sermonizing, yet ais a crys-
tall it shows the things that are really
big and worth while. 1t lays out
again the battle lines Of the old fight
of the city against the country and
then launches the idea that there are
certain men whom the Creator in
tended to live il the city and to thrive
among it artifeiaities and some men
who were intended to live only in
the hills and in the woods. Some who
could live the life Of men and to be
men no matter where placed.
