PLAY RAPS RADlCALISM
"sunrise" Effectively breaches Cos
pei of 100 Per Cent Americanism

Sunrise" which opened at the
Little Theatre last night, is a play OF
bolshevism against the wholesome
background of Irish American life. All
the comedy of the play is needed to off
set the heaviness of parts of the piece
which have n good deal to say about
labor disturbances and dining room
radicalism. 1t is thoroughly whole
some production because of the unhesi-
tating way in which the un American
element is worsted and the represen-
tatives of the new America that has
emerged in this after the war era
point the way toward better things in
the future.
Barry Mccormack gives just the
right touch of humor and strength to
his portrayal of the returned soldier
who sees through the dangerous
brotherhood of the bolshevists and
cheers consistently for the worth
while workmen of this country. He is
one of the best players of Irish parts
and is well fitted in this production.
The other members of the cast are
admirable. Consuelo Bailey could get
into the spirit of the play n little more,
but she is quite charming if n trife
unnatural. Rose Morrison, Elsie Hitz
and Pelham Lynton, as the members of
the Irish American family, did splend-
idly. ssW

there is richness in the development Of
his droll ideas and degree Of natural
ness even in his broadest comedy. He
never was more mirth provoking than
in his present role. All his ample re-
sources of comic expression are brought
into play. In addition to this he has
the advantage of working with Maude
Eburne, who gives further evidence of
her right to be classed as one of the
greatest eccentric condolences. Cav
thorn has dropped the German dialect
and his performance has not suffered
by it.
James Doyle and Harland Dixon, in
the parts of a couple of crooks, add ma
terially to the fun Of the piece. Their
dancing is one Of the very big hits of the
show. Dixon does dance with
charming little mite of femininity in the
person of Marie Callahan that is one of
the joys of the entertainment. Others
who contribute to the success Of the
production are Alice Bentley. Eugene
Revere, Corego Bellew, Wilmer Bent
lev and George Bgan.

of the condition of Essex cars that have been

Its Economy and
Reliability Wins

Business men can not spare any time for me
chanical attention to their cars. They lay out
their schedules and must travel with the precision
of railroad train. An automobile that requires
frequent attention means delays and delays are
costly. Consequently the Essex has won thou
sands who have learned its reliability.
Then too, they know how little it costs to
operate an Essex. It's first cost is lower than
would expect in such quality car. But when
considered on a mileage basis, where the gasoline,
tire, oil and maintenance expenses are computed,
the Essex has won as no other car has done.

which could pull the balloons down In an
incredibly short space Of time. Sometimes
they would disappear MS if by witchcraft.
Wherever the sausages flew they were pro-
teeted from airplane attack by heavy bat
teries of ant-aireraft guns. and also by
what we came to know as flaming onions
which appear to consist Of about ten balls of
fire and are shot from some kind of
rocket gun. You can see them coming all
the way from the ground, and they travel
just too fast to make it possible to dodge
them. l have never had an onion nearer
than 200 feet of me, but the effect of these
balls of fire reaching for you is most terrify-
ing, especially the first time you have the
pleasure of making their acquaintance.
"Our instructions were not only to drive
the enemy balloons down. but to set fire to
and destroy them. This was to be done by
diving them from above and firing some
incendiary missile at them-not by dropping
bombs on them, as one often hears in
London.

Something told me to hurry away from

available was a rather dark and forbidding
cloud, but made for it with all my might,

then headed for home My balloon had
not been up, but my first experience as

form of amusement, and I was inclined not
to like it.
Later on / met with some success against
the balloons, but the sport, while exciting,
was not to be compared with that of attack
ing another airplane."
