BOYS HERE'S HOW
 TO LAY OUT FIELD

Regulation-From home to second, or from third to first, 127 feet, 5 inches; between bases on running line 90 feet; home plate, r inches square; first, second and third bases, 15 inches square; pitchers box, feet by 6 inches; batsman's box, feet by 4 inches; distance from center of dia- mond to each corner, 63 feet 7h inches.
 There you are boys. You can lay out your diamond as well as a sur veyor could. Just get long string to measure with. some stakes and the necessary tools to make the paths. If the diamond is sodded scrape off the sod for the paths. if you wish, as above diagram shows. ...
 The home plate should be stone. A good slap of wood would do. The bases should be sacks filled with saw dust
 The lines from home to third and home to first should be run out the length of the field so you will know when a ball is foul or fair.
 IL is necessary to have two bats mans boxes. one for right hand hit- ters and one for the left handed boys.
 If the batter faces the south the fielders will get less sun. The dia- mond may be laid facing any direction but the south face is best ss

The most romantic situation in Amer
;can history was brought about by the
nresence Of our soldiers in France.
Unless. perhaps. this was overtopped a
little later by the American occupation
Of Germany. The humorous possibili-
ties OF the doughboy's difficulties with
~beaucoup" and win rouge" have been
pretty well exhausted by now, and so
!, is only fitting and proper that we
should have a play in which the dra-
matte confie; hinges about "verstehen
sic" and "ich liebe dich."
Forbidden by Dorothy Donnelly, is
the first play of the new school. 1t was
produced Saturday night at the Manhat-
tar Opera House. Throughout the play
everything that is incidental is excel
lent. Miss Donnelly was an entertainer
in France, and we assume that she also
went to Germany, for the play is rich in
local hits. No one who had not actually
observed q "Y" secretary in action
could have devised so divertine a
ske.ch as the Humboldt Feather of
Miss Donnelly's play. Then. too. the
crap game in the second act is good.
To be sure. we seem to remember other
crap games by which we have been
more moved and harried, but this is
at least good stage venture in gam
bling.
While Miss Donnelly is developing
New-York tribune., 1919-12-22

all manner Of effective minor topics in
her first two acts her main plot is not
farlng SO we'll For two acts it seems
a rather labored story, utilized merely
as thread upon which to hang the
various amusing observations of dough
boy life. We rather think that no
American playwright of the war has
been so successful in picturing our
soldier habit of mind and speech The
lover affair of Lieutenant John Booth
Lawrence and the Countess Hildegarde
Schoenweg Won der Verde is not as con-
vlnclng in its early stages. They are
in love because the playwright wills
1t rather than through any very fetch
ing stage courtship. Moreover, the
course Of love between the American
officer and the titled German miss is a
little too smooth for dramatic comfort
There seems to be no real obstacle
until the last act. Then, by device
which IS acceptable although by no
means a marvel Of skill, the German
girl finds out that the young American
whom she loves killed her brother in
battle. From this point on until the
end Miss Donnelly's play has true dra-
matte intensity.
The situation is faced fairly and
squarely, and the best values brought
from it. Miss Donnelly plays fair She
does not suddenly bring the German
brother back from the dead or paste
any other happy ending to her play.
She lets her lovers part IN profound
ly MOVING scene, which would be much
better ii it We're played without add
ing child. who up to that point had
not figured in the story.
Martha Hedman was excellent as the
countess, particularly in the last act,
when she played with great force and
dignity. Richard Barbee, as her Amer
lean tiance, was good except for his
curious rolling gait, which is not pre-
scribed in the manual. William X.
Harcourt helped the play greatly by his
performance as Brigadier General Slo-
cum and there were good character
bits oy Joseph Dunn, Herman Gerold
and Hermine Shone

Doctors Urged to Use
Music as S'Nerve Cure''
Medical Conference Approves
High-Crade Airs, but Puts
Ban on Jazz

movement looking to the create r
use of music by the medical profession
in the treatment Of nervous and other
bodily ailments was inauguratcd yes
terday afternoon at a conference of
physicians. nurses and laymen, held
for this purpose in the auditorium of
the De Witt Clinton High School. 1t
was decided TO as. emblc all possible
data on the subject and to name a
committee to place it before the County
Medical Society at the earliest opportu-
nifty in order to obtain q more wide
spread recognition for the idea.
Based on the experience of hospitals IS
where it has long been the custom to
provide high grade music for patients
and thus cheer them on their way to
health, it was agreed by those taking
part in the discussion that as yet COM
paratively nothing mas been done in a
professional or scientific sense to de-
velop the use of the music curative.
DR.. SieEfried Biork, neuro oricai OK
pert at Bellevue Hospital, who pre-
sided over the discussion, told Of in
stances within his own experience
where music had been highly effective
in allayjng nervous disorders and
where it was of nestimable benefit in
VIC u iSoNiiSHl VI OCiISI UiSSGScS
That the practice Of playing for sick
and wounded soldiers near the front
and at base hospitals had also demon
strated the value Of the auxiliary
treatment was another point made by
the speaker.
Director Charles D. Isaacson sug-
sasted additional conferences in the
near future and that all present en-
roll themselves INTO a temporary or
ganization for the purpose Of assem-
bling data and arousing a greater in
terest on the part Of the medical
fraternity. His suggestion was carried
and DR.. Block was selected as chair
man, the next conference to be held
in January.
c. E. Williams, editor of "Physical
Culture Magazine" declared the great
est handicap in the adoption by the
physicians Of the music cure was their
professional reluctance to innovate
new methods into their practice This
should be Offset, he said by cam
paign Of facts and publicity for the
people.

music Of the Hungarian variety is
best calculated to stimulate, and, on
the other hand, that sad music has

lieve, is not beneficial to any one who

There is something 80 extremely un-

Wyndham Standing makes quite a pre-
sentable and RESTRAINED sort of duke.
Being English himself he has more
or less of an idea how those things are
done. But every one else in the cast
is ridiculous or merely negative. The
subtitles are especially biameworthy.
They are sentimental and are redund-
ant with supposed Anglicisms, such as

Duchess of Harwich She trails around
with yards Of yelling and languishing
air, and sits signing over her troubles
on the chalk cliffs of Dover, where, ten
chances to one, in real life she would
be striding over golf course with
fiat heels and Donegal tweeds.
She has been forced to marry the
Duke of Harwich against her will. He
is no end of a scoundrel who keeps on
taking paralytic strokes when the fair
duchess upbraids him. Ivo Watson
plays the part of husband with skill
and vigor Lord Give Culbert (Wynd-
ham Standing) meets the duchess
without knowing who she is at time
when he is determined to smash ira
ditlon by marrying any one he likes,
titled or otherwise. He has vowed
somewhat melodramatically it is to be
feared, that he is 20 be captain Of his
soul and master Of his fate" Finding
out who she is, he sustains a pen and
ink affair with her and they are about
to run away together when word comes
that Gives brother has been killed in
an accident and that he, by right of
succession, becomes Duke of Cheshire
Soon after, the Duke of Harwich dies.
In the ordinary course of events it
might be expected that the two lovers
would then get married, but as the
Duke of Cheshire must have money
and the Duke of Harwich willed all his
away from his wife, it ends by Give
getting engaged to an American heir

Kirby (Jackie Saunders). At identi-
cally the same moment the Duke Of
Chesire is offered an ambassadorship.
That gives him a job and salary 50,
of course, he marries the disconsola1e
duchess.
Things are too obviously maneuvere
from beginning to end and one is
