The London Stage This Spring

the texture Of whose work is less
adapted to the cynical stare of the
footlights than Joseph Conrad's. In
tense drama he has, but it is not the
drama of action; it is that of the
brooding mysteries of life and death
and the solitary souls internal agonies.
His processes of psychology are too
delicately subtle to be transmitted
into the traffic of the stage"
And this writer thinks Conrad is
insulted both by ''the ludicrous rem
dering of his book" and by the treat
ment accorded it by the players at
the Globe.
W. j. Turner, on the other hand,
reviewing the performance in Land
and Water" is quite we'll pleased;
considers the dramatization upon
the whole highly successful, and the
playing excellent. His chief obiec-
ton is that the character Heyst is
not in the play, made sufficiently
clear to be understood by any one
who has not read the novel.
AS for American plays-the mar
ket is flooded with them. No fewer
than seven all-American productions
are drawing crowds (real crowds,
with the houses sold out weeks in
advance). But more of this next
Sunday.

Beauty and Homes

a N EARNEST plea for more
beauty in building is submitted
by writer in the magazine Touch
stone," who says in part:
|. building a home should be ap'
preached with reverence as well as
joyous enthusiasm. There is no adveh'
ture in life more fraught with romance
than the creating of home. We are
apt to turn to the past for precedens
IN architectural styles, whereas We
should concern ourselves chiefly win
the honest expression Of our needs
and surroundings.
Love of beauty was almost re-
ligion with the Greeks. To bu..d an
ugly thing was a misdemeanor punisS-
able with ostracism. Our county

much more agreeable place to live ID

turns far more interest on the money
expended than does an ugly one.
Would it not be we'll for us, now
that we are facing an era OF hom'
building such as the world has seldom
known, to pause little and appros'"

1T is an unpleasant question to

now looking for a position. Credi-
tors haunted their door. The DAYS
were uncomfortable. When thew
were separated they had no en-
tanglements and annoyances. Re-
united, they suffered.
The conquered cannon, pointing
upward, carried Philippe's glance
toward the heaven-the image of
that heaven which the heroes of
Verdun had gazed at. The soldier
stepped alongside a piece with a
menacingly long neck. He lifted
his head, and because he was a
warrior, a being Infatuated to
reverie and again became sensitive
to nature, he exclaimed, forgetting
his sulkiness:
What a beautiful night it isl"
Gabrielle raised her head in turn.
Because she had been so long a SOL
dler's wife, a poor woman accus-
toned to reverie and eager to
imagine the spectacle of battle. she
also was moved. She, too. forgot
her sulks. She remembered onlv
her own sufferings and the perils
which Philippe had faced. She felt
her heart beat and found Philippe
lmposing-her big blond fighter
standing there beside the monstrous
cannon whose thunder he had
braved.
Gently she draws nearer, until
she brushes his shoulder. With equal
gentleness Philippe puts his arm
around her waist.
The clouds are broken by the rays
OF the moon. Gabrielle murmurs.

Every Chair
Has a
Soul

A RE you one who thinks Of 6
~ chair only as something te
sit on? If so, mayhap yor
do not know that chairs
have their own personalities, their
own physical proportions, etc But
selecting a chair is something like
picking a friend, as a writer in
blouse and Garden" undertakes to
point out. He says:
Funny things, chairsl
"Sticks OF wood, turned and carved
bit of upholstery. A panel Of cane.
"You see them In the shops, row
after row of them, the fat, the slim,
the gaudy and the neat, waiting proud
and aloof like expectant servants In
an intelligence office.
"You go down the line inspecting
them casually, while salesman muir
murs catchwords about their periods.
Eventually you come to one that takes
your fancy. Yes, that might look we'll
in your room. The salesman extols
the merits Of its upholstery and swears
on his immortal soul that 1t is pure
mahogany-as pure as ever came out
of Brazil--and not mahoganized birch.
Forthwith you exchange cash of the
realm for the bundle of wood and
hank of tufted hair, and go on your
way satisfied that you have made q
good purchase.
Sheer rubbish chair isn't a.
thing; it's a personality.
There are two ways Of looking at
chair or table or any piece of
furniture; you may consider it a
mere decorative objective, or something
that plays an active role in your
llfe--a member of your household.
"By itself chair may be simply
80 much wood upon which craftsman
has spent his energies and artistry.
But once you think of a chair in
respect to men and women who sit in
it, or table in respect to those who
gather about 1t, the inanimate becomes
suddenly alive. 1t Is clothed with
personality. 1t is real and vital. 1t
will mean very much in your home
because it means very much in your
life.

= ONDON curtains have gone
up on some interesting pieces
- this spring season. For one
thing, there have been impor-
tant revivals. "Romeo and Juliet
was put on at the Lyric in April
with Doris Keane and Basil Sydney
in the two principal roles and Ellen
Terry as the nurse.
A writer In "The London
Graphic" observess
"Somebody has said that in Juliet
he pictures all women in love and IN
Romeo most men. Anyhow, a new
Juliet may always be a new woman,
Romeo a new man; and that circum-
stance, apart from the high witchery
of the drama, entreats actors and ac-
tresses to be Juliets and Romeos.
"More direct and definite influences,
however, are connected with the 'Ro-
meo and Juliet which is Just staged
In Romance and 'Roxane,' and to her
husband, Mr.. Basil Sydney, who has
shared her success. 1t has been in
their minds for years, and with peace
come, bringing back, surely, the old
at the Lyric Theatre. We owe it to
Miss Doris Keane, who won such fame
love Of great stage art, they offer their
sacrifice. Never has it been a light
task to create Romeo and Juliet
but, on the contrary, grave task.
That Miss Keane and Mr. Sydney have
remembered and understood, but lust
they heard their call now, and they
have done their best to meet it, simply,
sincerely, even austerely.
"They had an inspiration when they
asked Miss Ellen Terry to be the Nurse
in their Romeo and Juliet 1t was a
real joy to her to say Yes and all
through the rehearsals, when a play
is made or not made, she has been the
soul of the company. Age has touched
her so lightly that it has taken nothing
from her warmth of charm, her sun
shine of personality. Then her youth
and her years have been spent in the
service of Shakespeare, and she knows
him as nobody else on the stage does

that We had merely witnessed a typi-
cal two and half hours in Lincolns
life. Compared with the 'one good
deed day. which is all that England
expects of a Boy Scout, it was over
powering."
Solomon Eagle, writing In 1.-THE
New Statesman" said:
II did not think Mr.. Drinkwater's
great play; but I at least came away
from it with feeling Of the great
ness and wonder of existence, of the
splendor Of the human will of the
mystery of good and evil, the magnifi
cence of conflict, the awfulness of
DEATH"
THE play that has undoubtedly
l. stirred up the most controversy
this spring is "Victory," a play by
B. Macdonald Hastings founded on
the novel by Joseph Conrad. Critics
over there have been the more caus-
tic because, along with his failure to
produce a successful piece of dra-
matte writing, the dramatist has.
those agree who condemn it, taken
unhappy liberties with a great
novel. Gilbert Canaan, writing in
"The London Nation" observes:
"Collared head is a favorite dish In
the North. 1t consists Of calf's head.

disguise its native flavor, and served

seasoning to make the dish palatable.

1T follows, then, that the way to
buy furniture is not to choose It
merely for the beauty of the workman

adaptability to the sort of life YOU
lead and the sort of person you are.
Choosing chair or any piece of
furniture is not unlike choosing a
