New-York tribune., 1919-07-13
By Haywood Broun

The problem Of the retained soldier
presents good many interesting
dramatic possibilities and so it is not
surprising to find the second play of
the new season, '"The Five Million" Of
Guy Bolton and Frank Mandel, dealing
with this subject. Dealing with the
theme, we should add, incidentally.
The authorg are not innoyatoTs. They
are content to find background, sub"
plot, and good deal of dialogue in
the returned soldier, but IL can hardly
be said that his problems are vital TO
the plot. Certainly, the wrongfully
Suspected hero was known before the
war AZ was the girl, whose loyalty was
tasted by the absence Of her be-
tYothed.

although presenting much of their
story in skilful fashion, can bv no
means be said to have displayed the
same technical skill as Winchell
SMITH in the two successes mentioned.
We have no means Of knowing
whether Mr.. Smith believes any harder
IN his scenes of mother love and other
set devices of sentiment than d.
Messrs Bolton and Mandel, but a,
least he is able to cover up insincerity
better than these two authors have
done in THE Five Millions" With the
exception Of the two brief scenes
played by Percy Helton there was no
portion OF the play aimed to tug at
the heartstrings which did not miss it's
mark conspicuously.
The trouble lay partly in the fac.
that the authors called upon soldier
characters TO do good deal of the
sentiments lizing about the sorrows of
the great adventure. and it is known to
~ nil that this attitude was one never
adopted by the soldiers. Of course.

New-York tribune., 1919-07-13

OF that excellent army newspaper "The
Stars and Stripes" rs typical, it would
seem that the heroic attitude and the
sweeping gesture were the last things
in TIE world which the American SOL
dlers ever thought of adopting. There
was, to be sure, a touch of syapper in
the American army in the late months
OF the war, just as there is in every
nascentiy successful military machine.
but the men did not swagger about
their ideals, but about their efficiency
1t is entirely possible that there were
times when American soldiers COM
pared the A. 4. f. most favorably with
the armies of the Allies as a fphtinr
machine, but we do not remember that
any American soldier ever boasted Of
the superior purity of his motives as
compared with those of the Tommies
or the poilus. That was left entirely
to the statesmen and, perhaps, to plav-
wrights' although this particular
thread of sentiment is not exploitcd
IN "The Five Million" so far as we can
remember.
There is, however, one directly class.
conscious appeal made in the plav 70
the members OF the A. +. +. which
may or may not be popular, but is not
entirely consistent with that public
welfare which every playwright should
nave IN mind when he decides TO desert
art for tho sake of propaganda. The
play drives home with a good deal of
persistence the suggestion that if Tho
soldiers only organize and stick to-
gether as political unit thcy can hc-
come the ruling class in this country
Judging from the usual reaction one
receives from any soldier when he aug
gests to him the possible chance Of
Pcrshing or Wood or any military can
d'datc, the army is not prepared TO see
any direct relationship between mill
tary and governmental efficiency, "I,ook
what tho soldiers did for Grant," ON
claims one of the characters in "The
Five Million and we deplorcd the ab
scncc of any character who might have
