A Pacifst Satire
A CRY OUT OF THE DARK BY Henry
Bailey Stevens. The Four Seas Com
pany, Boston.
These three one-act plays constitute
a transparent satire on war. "The Med
dler' is the story of man who tries
to stop duel and finds himself thrust
aside by the friends who are urging
one of the combatants to fight. "Bolo
and Babette" depicts an idealistic boy
who tries to lead his companions from
the sleek pastures where they are
dwelling away from the brawls Of the
valley blew up to the shining noun
tains above them. 'The Madhouse" is
a rather labored effort to prove that
lunatics, as a class, have more sanity
than soldiers. The plays have little
acting; they are obviously written
merely for propaganda purposes.
