TO PUT VIBRATIONS

Madame Bell-Ranske in Her

GIVES ELECTRIC SHOCK
Sad News for Drama League
Auditors With Ill Shaped

The Drama Forum at a special matt
nee OF two one act plays In the Longacre
Theatre yesterday afternoon started put
ting vibrations into the American drama.
That is. Nine Yutta Bell-Ranske, who
supervised the production OF The Blind"
by Maeterlinck. and The Slave With
Two Faces" by Mary Caroline Davies.
explained carefully In an entr-acte
speech that there were lots and lots OF
vibrations in the world and that with so
many to spare she intended to put some
into Forthcoming dramas that would give
the public a good electric shock.
This came out when Mime. Bell
Ranske. who 10 a countrywoman OF Ibsen
and has been practising her intellect at
Cooper Union, was letting the audience
in on all the trade secrets of Maury
Maeterlincks skit. The Blind" OF
course. represented ignorant humanity
the class of people who like to enjoy
themselves at musical comedy and not
at dramas that are overlooking with In
spring gloom--this was a point so ob-
vious that Nine. Bell-Ranske did not
deign to touch upon IL.
bsCo"e NeGeo.
What did develop from her interpreta-
ton of the play was this:
We are all mad-especially the
women. This made some OF the femi-
nine auditors OF militant suffrasette
type. who seemed TO form a large part
OF the spectators, look mad In another
sense. Their insanity was ascribed TO a
failure TO perceive the truth, but Just
what the truth Ia seerned Iittia. NJ p,,a
though there could be no doubt as to
the brilliance OF the spotlight represent
ing 1t in Maeterlnck's play.
Then Nine. Bell-Ranske eyened the
score by declaring that women were the
hope OF the human race and that men
were, II possible. more blind than they
were. This made the few husbands in
the audience look sorry they had come
Wild applause from the others showed
Nine. Bell-Ranske was once more back
In favor with somebody.
The world was continuing 70 evolve
and evolve, II seemed. and might some
day be At TO be called a world. How
ever. all hope OF sharing in the good
times to come was practically given
up by members OF the present generation
In the audience when II developed that
II would be at least two generations
before persons would have the right
shaped heads and hearts.
Things began to look up a DIT. how
over, when the priestess pointed out
that Maeterlinck had seated hts men and
women characters on opposite sides Of
the stage as a blow against the female
segregation from man In political mat
ters. Hearty laughter showed that
every one recognized how this blow for
suffrage had told.

Of the 5000 ships sunk during the
war. more than 500 have already
beer recovered. 1t is estimated that
more than 2c,000.00O tons went to

four years and mon are now going

An entirely new industry has de-

During the war the United States
learned new lessons in national
thrift from Europe. The salvaging
stations Of the battlefelds taught
the value Of conserving material. 1t
is significant that this country is
now applying the methods learned
during the war and is developing
them into an entirely new industry.
