Comedy Of Manners

YELLOW LEAF BY Sacha Gregory. r.

Here is comedy of manners tinced
with melodrama. The scene is set in
the English country home OF Lady Mary
Catherine Dampierre, and the atmos-
ohcre is ono Of faithful family servants
and dauntless dowarers Lady Mary
has widowed danHhter-in-iaw, Lily
Damnierrc, with Two children. Jim and
Picotee. lowering about the household
IS Charles Thorn, middle-agoa
nephew of Lady Mary's, who aspires to
be Lily's second husband. Trouble be
gins when jacques Aghassy, a pianist
OF rather uncertain nationality, marries
Lily and carries off Jim with him on o
tour Of America. Melodrama enters
with the appearance of Mrs Cuthbert-
son, who informs Lady Mary that
Aghassy is the father of her son. 1t
eliminates in Lady Mary's deAthbea
letter to Charles Thorn, confessing she
poisoned Aghassy, whose death under
mystlfylng circumstances occurs short
y after his return from America. The
old lady was moved 20 the deed by
Aghass5 3 owl influence over her grand
son. Having accomplished her purpose,
she herself calmly takes an overdose Of
the same heart medicine.
However crude tine PLOT. the story is
told with certain distinction. Unfor-
tunately, the author is d slave 70 ad-
jectives. "Old" seems to he the IA
Forlte. From page j 70 page 98 il ao-
pears eighty-throe times After that
we gave UP counting. The adjectives
continually applied to Lady Mary, in
Guiding "valiant,' fearless" "valor-
ous,' might also be worthy Of listing
for reference. This failing IS the most
glaring error Of construction in the
book.

ortlnanteau Plays
Romantic Appeal in New
Dramas by Stuart Walker

MOKH PORTNlANTHAU PLAYS. ny Stuart
Walker Stewart q kidd Company,
CIncinuau
An atmosphere of tender and delicate
romanticism peIvades this second
series of Portmanteau plays. The book
includes two three act dramas, both ad-
mirably suited to the small theater
which the author has developed, and
one comic intorlude.
The Lady Of The Weeping Willow
Tree" is charming fantasy based upon
Japanese folklore. Oban-San is an old
woman, heavy OF heart because she has
never known the love OF children. A
gaki, or evil spirit, who feeds upon hu-
man misery attempts TO torment her
still further by allowing her to enjoy q
daughter for moment and then
snatching the girl away and giving her
to q lover. Finding himself frustrated
by Obaa- Sans pious resignation under
the blow. the gakl attempts TO SOW dis
sension and jealousy between the girl
and her poet-lover. And, when every
thing else fails, the evil spirit chops
down the willow tree with which the
girls life is bound up. The girl sinks
under the blows, but Obaa-San bursts
out in an eloquent speech, declaring
shat Glove that has been never can be
undone.' The evil spirit that has pcs
sessed the gaki Is exercised, the girl is
restored to life and the play comes TO
"a happy and appropriate ending.
This simple fairy tale is illuminated
throughout by quality OF haunting
poetic beauty. The Japanese back
ground is painted with as much skill
and realism as could be achieved by il

cult to discover q certain symbolic sig
nihcance in certain passages Of the
play but perhaps it is better to take
It simply as an exquisite fantasy, full
of tender sentiment, beautiful to read
and more beautiful to see on the stage.
"The Very Naked Boy" an episode
sketch which is sandwiched in between
The two longer plays is delightful
bit Of inconsequential foolery. 1t de-
scribes lovers quarrel which is in
terrupted and gives way to a new EN-
barrassment when The small brother of
the girl in the case is discovered lurk-
ing behind curtain in a very prim-
tive costume.
jonathan Makes a WISH" the most
serious of the three plays, is & new
version of the old tragedy of an i'm
aginatve, impressionablc boy subj t.
cd to the unconscious cruelty of Il we'll

atve. Jonathan is a fourtecn-year- old
boy with a passion for writing plays
His uncle John is determined to make
the boy an engineer. The clash be
tween the dreamy aspirations of the
boy and the hard, indexible vii! of the
older man has in it the elements of
tragedy, when Jonathan suddenly
finds d savior in his uncle Nathaniel
who had run away from Johns tyranny
himself when he was boy.
Mr.. Walker handles his theme very
effectively. Avoiding al afectatior
and saccharine sentimentality, he
draws convincing picture of the ar
dent, imaginative boy, driven despcr
ate by the idea OF being forced into
work which he loathos. The most pow
erful passages Of the play are to b,
found in the second act. which de

establishes an extraordinary line of
cleavage between that earlier part of
the book which is sensitive and witty
and edged with keen perception and
keen curiosity and that latter part
which is sententious and stodgy and
puritanically Aelf-righteous. 1t seems
clear that Mr.. Black could not pursue
the quest on which he set out in hi 5
book without a moral staff to lean on.
The war furnishes the moral synthesis
by which he may measure and reject
with no loss of self-respect all radical
social tendencies.
Mr.. Black has great literary facility.
He has shrewd capacity for sublmation
by which q character achieves sharper
outline on paper than he does in real
life. The crippled young instructor
from the New England academy town
and his eager, curious sister who came
TO New York on a romantic quest are
charming and vivid people. Aunt Paul

urely, immensely self sustaining and

A Treasury of War Poetry
New Collection Of Verse Inspired by
Great Conflict Proves Disappointing

SECOND SERIES. BY aeorsa Herbert
Clarke. Houghton Mifflin Company,
New York and Boston.
A keen aense of disappointment is
left by this "Treasury Of War Poetry"
1t is q second series and must be taken
in connection with Professor Clarke 8
earlier volume to be judged fairly.
Even so the net result Is wonder
whether we have not grossly overrated
our war poetry. Without singing out
particular poems few readers of verse
have failed to be deeply moved by
what they have read from time to time
in the years of the war, moved as by
great poetry-so the memory holds
But where is it2 Thore are few
enough high spots in this carefully,
competently edited volume; and the
level runs appallingly low.

Professor Clarke is nothing if not
eclectic in his choice Of authors. There
is a leaning, we are thankful to say,
toward the simpler, lyrical note.
Francis Ledwidge and Katherine lyman
have five poems each, more than any
other poet, and the poems amply justify
this honor. There is more of the war

indirection, than in all Of Robert

Kermit Roosevelt Tells
OF War in Mesopotarnia

WAR IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN BY
Kermit Roosevelt. Charles Scribncr $
Sons. New York.
Few episodes Of the war were more
picturesque than the British advance
against the Turks in Mesopotamia: tho
gradual occupation of the Tigris and
Euphrates valleys. the capture Of such
historic cities as Bagdad and Jerusalem.
Captain Roosevelt did not participate
IN any of the most important engage
nents on this front; his period of ser
vice there fell between Maudes of
fenslve against Bagdad and Allenby' s
offensive against Jerusalem. However.
he was under fire in several vigorous
sklrmishes; and he gives an excellent
account OF the open fighting, with fire.

lied the operations in this region.

features of the Mesopotamian country.
OF the tastes. manners and habits Of its
lnhabltants, recalls his fathers gift of
lucid and entertaining narration With
an excellent sense Of humor. and with
gives an intimate picture of the differ
ent races which made up the British
army, of the crowded bazaars in Bar
dad, Of the tented villages in the coun-
try. The book is illustrated bv a
number Of photographs taken by the
author.
The author gives a brief sketch of
has experiences with the American
army in France, to which he was
transferred in the spring of 1918, in
the concluding chapter of the book.
Full Of anecdotes and written with rare
descriptive skill, Captain Roosevelt's
work may we'll take rank as one Of the
most enjoyable war books of the year.

Labrador most sorely needed a doc
tor. The Eskimos lived in filth, sick
ness and ignorance They required
baths and doctors even more than a
new religion.
DR.. Grcnfell had adventures in the
North Sea and on r,sh shores. When
he reached Labrador he exulted in the
Wild cold coast and the ocean beating

Grcnfell found a man who had been
sick in bed four months without bath
His frs. treatment was to be "chloro-
formed and washed" and put in new
bed. There was nothing to do but
burn the old one.
These people were perfectly happy
and good natured in all their misery

disposition. His cheerfulness never

the puritan's passion for the definite
