By Haywood Broun

Dark Rosaleen' is frankly in the
manner of the old-fashioned Irish
drama which was popularized in this
country by Dion Doucicault. Shaw
and other Irishmen have contended
that nothing in the world is so irritat-
ing to the people of Ireland as the
sentimental portrait in which the son
of Erin is held up as drunken, ire
sponsible, incompetent and gilt
hearted. But the fact remains that
this is not the attitude Of the Irish
American. The Clan-na Gael stoned
Synges fine drama "The Playboy OF
the Western World" and welcomed
Dark Rosaleen" with open arms, il
the applause of the first night au-
dience may be cited as evidence.
1t ia difficult for us to understand
this position. Granting that Dark
Rosaleen" is in many respects an
amusing play. we should still contend
that it is in effect far from compli-
mentary to Ireland and the Irish, 1t
is distinctly patronizing. The only
point which is made in favor Of the
Irish is that they all have good hearts,
This is little enough To say about any
nation, The earth ia paved with the
bones Of geod-hearted peoples, The
enduring quality of Irish natlonalis-
tic feeling muat rest on something
much more substantial. Almost all
tho mistakes made it dealing with
tho irish question have rested upon
tho assumption Of Engltshmon that the
lrish problem vas sentimental one.
II Is something about which people
on. both sides have sobbed and blub
berod. Any time it can be laid on the
table and discussed as Il question of
simple justice it will be settled.
1t is fair to say that there are many
Irishmen to-day who are approaching
the question in just that manner. But
the playwrights-a least all our play
wrights-act as if Irish freedom was
merely something about which men
struck attitudes and sang quavering
ballads. The suggestion Of the dram
atists seems to be that Irish freedom
will be gained when enough beer and
tears have been mixed. Somehow or
other a playwright can't get away from
the impression that Irish freedom has
something to do with moonlight and
coleens and applewomen. All the
people in these plays have such an ex-
ceptionally fine time in suffering under
English tyranny that nobody could |
very well wish them quit of it.

The authors of Ozark Rosaleen" have
wrestled with one problem faced by
score of American playwrights. Their
solution is not quite as successful as
that of some of their predecessors. 1t
is not to be disputed that q horserace
is first class material for either fiction
or drama. A race affords device
whereby the most impoverished char
acter in the play may come to sudden
atf'uence. Nothing else is quite so ef-
fectlve as quick means of raising
mortgage. So far as we can remember
there are no plays about the mortgages
acquired by racetrack bettors. 1t 10
automatic that no hero or heroine ever
loses bet, though the odds be one hun
dred to one against the favored horse
The union ought to get after Whitford
Kane for shaving the price. Dark Ro-
saleen pays only twenty to one.
Although horse race is good dra.
matte material it is difficult to in
corporate into play. In the old days
treadmjll effects were frequently intro
duced, but such devices have stalled and
gone out of fashion. Henry Blossom
IN his amusing play "Checkers" had a
treadmill scene with galloping horses
and also employed another device in
scene in which the hero held the
stage alone and rooted his horse home
to victory. In one of the old-fashioned
IRISH plays, the name of which we
have forgotten, the news Of the victory
at the track was borne by carrier
pigeon to the old people waiting in
the little cottage. This was an effect
I've trick, for the stage manager was
able to obtain we'll trained bird
which nightly few in at window
and straight to the hands of the two
characters on the stage. In Ozark
kosaieen" the heroine, sees the race
more or less correctly in a vision, but
confirmation has to come by word of
mouth from folk who return from
the track. This is not essentially a
armatic solution, although there is
an effective scene later on when the
morse ls brought on the stage and
pokes her head through the door
way.
The success of Dark Rosaleen,, de.

The Geography of Japan.

Until Ino Chukei finished his
labor OF love in 1921 nothing like
an authentic map of Japan existed.
His career was remarkable, for it
was not until he had reached the
age of fifty-five years. having been
a sake brewer from boyhood, that
he turned his attention to survey
ing. His maps were found to be so
good and so free from errors that
they were adopted as the basis of
the more recent 'trigonometricaI
survey Of Japan. During his work
he surveyed one hundred and thir-
ty-seven thousand square miles.
using instruments which he made
himself, but he met with no reward
during his life, for on the termina-
tion OF his undertaking he was
thrown into prison by the Shoguns.
and he remained there until he died.
He has since been honored by a
monument erected to his memory in
Tokyo.

The trouble was that Smith

Well. that was nothing to his
credit. He had been born looking
like that, she supposed, and his
military training had taught him to

She was glad when the car drew

She was in a very bad humor with

David Smith.

Then why might not Norah laugh

She felt slightly disappearing of
Smith as she -,rehearsed in amagi-
