American General Claims Admit

KISSES old FRENCH LADY
Round Smack on the Two Cheeks Of
Dear Old Lady Who Made Speech
Expressing Gratitude Of People to
Observation-Disclosures Such Facility
In the Language That He Can Now
Make Good Speech in French.

General Pershing has kissed "une
Francaise"-French scholars notice
the gender. This was no official en-
brace of a bearded general. 1t was
a round smack on the two cheeks of
a dear old French lady.
General Pershing Is known to have
acquired such remarkable facility in
the French language that he makes
a rafting good speech In French to-
day. 1t remained for lie Garnet de
la Semaine," a French weekly paper,
to reveal that the general In chief of
the Yank forces has not Jagged be-
hind his subordinates In acquiring
French manners. In a recent issue
lie Garnet says:
General Pershing is a great Amer
lean. Learned. restrained. always
calm, he symbolizes that American
simplicity which looks on and learns.
"The generals likewise
are characterized by the most spon-
taneous frankness and his actions re-
main craven In the memory of those
who have seen him.
Kisses Old French Lady.
AT D, General Pershing ar
rived recently with his staff. The
armistice had been signed the eve-
ming before - d~elirious enthusiasm,
ovations. In this little northern viii
lage a little crowd quickly surrounded
the glorious American liberators and
their chief. Such a riot ensued that
an old mistress of ceremonies raised
herself amid the rout and demanded
silence SO that, in the name Of all, she
might thank the general. Silence was
restored and an old woman, a very
old and trembling little woman, ap-
preached him In all her dignity and
murmured words of gratitude. AS she
went on she became confused with the
unaccustomed honor. Her words be-
came mixed. Finally, knowing moth
ing else to do, she suddenly seized
both hands of General Pershing and
shook them heartily.
YAnd the general mutually squeezed
the two hands Of the old lady. Then,
suddenly, without a word, he removed
his hat-and kissed her on each
cheek"

tinues, "the president and Madame

Last Night at Theaters

pride, In the subtitle OF Sunrise"
calling It "a comedy-drama with Q
purpose"
. Let Il be said FIRST of all that the
purpose. at least. does him high credit.
The impulse to do his bit against
Bolshevisrn n strong In the heart OF
many a red-blooded writer. and Will
lard Mack has contributed here as
vigorous. an expression OF honest
straightforward Americanism as any,
one could desire.
One OF those. sweet Irish mothers,
so dear to Mr.. Msck's pen. presides
over the modest home, with her
daughter who loves classy hats and
the movies. and her two sons who
cannot agree IN their views OF life
and politics. Larry, back from the
trenches, Is trimming with good sense
and loyalty. while John has the So
cialistic blues and hobnobs with the
Reds, especially with a smooth i'm
ported article named Nicholas. Lar
rvs soldier buddy is Reginald Hart
ley, son OF a capitalist who Is hated
by the Reds. and Larry has also
looked into the eyes OF the charming
Hartley daughter. who has not hest
tated to look back. Well, not to tell
the whole story. John gets mixed In
a plot to dynamite the Hartley house.
Olga. the charming daughter, saves
him from arrest John sees the light,
and q convenient vessel frees the land
Of the undesirable Nicholas.
1t IL all very pleasant and salts
Tying entertainment. But willard
Mack Is a playwright Of no mean
capacity. and his work is entitled
to inspection with a critical eye. Thu
truth is. the acquisition of a pur-
pose has not proved beneficial to the
authors workmanship. Propaganda
and melodrama form a reluctant
mixture. The pressure of Mr.. Mack's
purpose has led him to place much
talk in the mouths OF his earnest
young former soldiers. a. we'll as in
those Of his infatuated radicals, and
though 1t Is good enough talk 1t
lacks the crisp. incIsive colioquial-
ism that gave life TO Kick H." ana
becomes in places positively inflated.
II Is strong. straight talk. but
about the time when you think 1t
ought to break into a climax Of in
telligence. uprooting the Bolshevist
structure with a blast OF logic, TIE
play bursts into melodrama instead.
And OF course the situations con-
sidered as melodrama suffer in pro-
portion. The well-knit,i forceful,
sure-directed structure of Tiger
Rose" Is by no means paralieled.
Furthermore, the writer OF Sun
rise" is not the rich and breezy
humorist OF the earlier plays by
willard Mack. Again that purpose
spoils the craftsman.
The cast is well selected and uni
formly interesting. Barry Mccormack
makes a virile young legionary. and
Miss Consuelo Bailey Is a delightful
maiden of wealth. Rose Morrison. as
the Irish mother, is excellent. 50 Is
Chauncey Causland as Father Muir
ply. Clay Clement gives a striking
portrait of the cowardly Bolshevik. ~
