Of the idea Of the old lady inventing q
son and writing letters to herself from
him. But the weakness of Enter the
Hero Is not altogether the fault Of the
dramatist's conception Of underlying
theme. 1t is apparent that he is not yet
able to make character live independ-
emily and walk about without the crutchcs
Of theatrical convention. The dialogue
is generally Of a high order and the story
is interesting, but more is required to
make really effective play.

"The Red Signal"

DERSONS of fifteen years or there
L ahouts will find The Red Signal, by
Grace Livingston Hill Lutz, diverting 1t
is clean and exciting story Of very
youthful heroine who does remarkable
things. Older readers who have been sa-
tiated with the fictional activities of the
German spy and his pursuers may be less
interested.
The Red Signal is a tumble of romance
and amateur thwarting of Teutonic
schemes by an orphan girl and young
railroad engineer who turns out to be
some one more important. Like most spy
stories, it is hastily written and should be
read at mental gallop, for if the reader
should pause he might lose interest per
manently.

Flying Stag Plays
By BARRETT H. CLARK.

THE Flying Stag Plays are a series
l. of seven one act dramas, most
of which have been performed. They
are Of varying merit and considerable
variety. The first three, George CROWNS
SanAbar Queen; James Oppenheim's
Night, and Floyd Dell's The Angel In-
trudes. are interesting specimens Of i'm
aginative playwriting; the four latest adj
ditions are perhaps on the whole more
attractive
The first of these, Enter the Hero. by
Theresa Helburn, is an ambitious char
actor study, curiously similar to Barries
The Old Lady ShOtcs Her Medals. It is
impossible in reading Miss Helburns
comparatively feeble rendering of the
same theme to forget Barrie's treatment
