town Players show themselves to be re-
sourceful in achieving effective set
tings. The effect of depth and of ex-
pansc is finely attained on the tiny
stage, and the deep blue light in which
it is played keys to the tone of the
drama.
The plays that make up this review
bill (and the post season one to follow
next month"; represent the best work
picked from the productions of two
seasons and in the aggregate the quail
ity is astonishingly high. They are
alive with an eager insistcnce that life
is more unique and amusing and roig-
nant than the dramatists have hereto
fore led us to believe. IN them lies
the justification for this semi-amatcur
organization, for they have picked up
odd bits OF life that are not usually
regarded as materials for plays

lost and Found
1T the Hippodronc

They didn't study Freud in school
when Gabriel, information man and
general factotum of the Hippodromc,
was a boy. But that fact doesn't pre-
vent him from being pretty nifty
little psychologist, all the same Each
night Gabriel can furnish a fairly ac
curatc list of "who's who" in the audi
cnce at the latest performance of
"Everything" merely by the character
of the articles they leave behind them.
In the four years that he has been
taking care Of the "Lost and Found"
department of the worlds greatest
playhouse Gabriel has become fairly
hardened to surprises Articles Of
wearing apparel, from a pair of pale
blue garters decorated with French
rosebuds, to a trench coat have long
since lost their novelty. The sight of
q live baby, about a year old, comfort
ably curled up in one of the chairs Of
the orchestra loge fast asleep after a
recent matinee did cause him to shake
his head little over the detached view
point Of the modern mother, and d
womans hat hung on the arm of
chair left him mildly surprised that
any woman should be so absent minded
as TO venture out on Sixth Avenue
bareheaded and get home without
noticing the oversight. Two sets Of
false teeth, picked up on the floor at
different times, pro~e that the Hip"
show is good for hearty laugh as
several bottle of dyspepsia tablets
and other medicines prove its health
giving properties, since the sufferers,
apparently arrested in the act Of tax
ing the hourly dose, laid down the pills
and forgot all about them.
Books enough to fill library, papers
of all sorts, from advertisements and
pamphlets on free love to valuable
documents left by absent minded Off
GERS in the service; umbrellas which
range from stout cotton affairs brought
down by grandma from the country, to
dainty strap-hung triAes with jewelled
handles belonging to Fifth Avenue
circles; gloves by thousands, even
shoes and rubbers, to say nothing Of a
death certificate and two marriage
licenses, all go to prove to Gabriel that
it is high time the world in general
took q correspondence course in mem
ory training.

In the review bill Of one act plays
which the ProvincetoWn Players have
been presenting for the last week lies
the answer to all those who have
damned with faint praise or .heir out
spoken scorn the efforts of the hopeful
amateur. Through these four onc-act
plays blows mere free air than has
coursed through all the uptown the
atres in the whole Of the last season.
There are plenty Of sharp corners to
Provincetown Players production.
One does not need condcscending
Philistine resentful that he is robbed
of his Sultanesque ease amid the as
cetic appointment Of his play house
to tell one that the rather precariously
slung paraphernalia creaks as it get
under the way, and that the senses are
rasped by unprofcssional intonations
and attitudes.
But these external awkwardnesses
arc in sense the sign of an inward
grace, the symbol Of power not yet at
full growth. The suavity of finished
productions is not there, but neither
is the frequent fiat dulness. 1t i.
true that good many Of the plays do
not come of-but that is not from lack
Of trying to achieve something fresh.
Bound East for Cardiff" is one of
the earliest of Eugene O'Neills sea
plays and one Of the best. There is
no straining after atmosphere here
Its restraint and simplicity are classi-
cally noble. There is no moment of
deviation from sincerity, no moment
of letdown in this tragedy. In the
foc's'le of tramp steamer a sailor is
dying, and III the broken sentences he
exchanges with his chum is painted in
deep background OF his life that is
just barren graynoss pricllcd here and
there by futile loys and still more fu.
tile violence. The life of the sailor
is seen here with no false sentiment
1t is realism so intense that 1T achieves
the ultimate poetry which lies in truth
"Womans Honor" is a discursivc bu,
amusing play dealing with the plight OF
a chlvalrous young man who Will &c
TO his death rather than establish his
abb by telling with whom he spent

We don't profess to know the intcn-
tion Of Benavente, in "Bonds of Inter-
est" but we think it possible that the
illusion Of the piece being puppet
show should be at least suggested dur
ing the course Of the piece. The char
actcrs are introduced as puppets and
end with the puppct theme again re-
vivcd, but there is nothing to bridge
this together. We are aware, of course,
that the play would be dull, indeed, if
the puppet suggestion were strongly
emphasized throughout the course of
the play, but we think that it might be
quite in spirit to have it indicated
ever so slightly.

tion on us so suddenly the other dav

We came to our senses. OF course, it
would be Fiametta, the blind girl in

the inevitable choice would have been
the dumb wife from Anatolc Frances

Fanny of "Tigcrl Tiger" would

you by eating with her knife. No,
come to think Of it, she couldn't do
that. She couldn't even be your din
