er Of the theater has finally made
a comment on the quality of living
that is not easily forgotten.
BY many interpreters MARY
Rose" will be given whole to the
rising English tide of spiritism. 1t
is true that this is a play most con-
cerned with what. for lack of an
other word in this reference, must
be called death. 1t Is true that it
is a play about a ghost. But it is
essentially not a play about a now
aforementioned spiritism; there
is no solace in II for the living, and
1t is even bitter with the realiza-
ton that life does not stop a mo-
ment. but goes remorselessly and
inevitably on its way. What is
most clearly driven home, and mer-
cilessly, is that in time the dead
are forgotten: their return in the
years to those who loved them
might not be even a welcome one.

Mr.. Rays Wayward Son

Charles Ray is one young man
who doesn't come to a bad end as
the result of not following his faith
er's advice. Even as a youngster
Charlie wanted to bean actor. Mat
ters came to such a crisis that the
day following Charles graduation
from high school. Papa Ray took
him to one side and spoke as fol-
lows:
. II want to see you make yonr way
in the world. Very few actors ever
do that. They are out of work most
of the time. When they do find
work, they sleep in cheap hotels and
boarding houses and borrow money
to pay their board bills and wear
celluloid collars to save laundry
bills. In New York they stand ON
the curb and chew toothpicks and
fiirt with the ladies who pass by.
But I'll tell you what I'll do with
you, Charles. You 60 to college and
I'll pay the bills. Then IL at the
end Of four years you still want
to be an actor. I'll say. Go ahead !"
Charles agreed. His college career
over. he came home and showed his
dad his diploma.
Now I'm ready to 60 on the
stage" said the graduate.
The elder Ray is a man of his
word. Charles made his debut in a
smell part at Hooley.s Theater, Cni-

Stern Barrie Of MARY Rose" :"

1t Is a sterner Barrie who has
written Mary Rose" a new three
act play presented at the Haymar-
ket by Frederick Harrison. says
Ralph Block in the New York
Times, writing from London under
date of May ,.
Mary Rose is Peter Pan, grown
up at last. with all the old nebulous
desire for another life, and the
graceful and whimsical escape from
this one, turned into a new phase
that definitely touches terror ana
tragedy.
The fragrant title is misleading;
this is by all odds the least wistful
and most dramatically powerful of
the Barrie plays. Not any of the
well-accustomed Barrie machinery
is absent-there is girl VINO
doesn't grow up and a Never-Never
Land to which she fees, as we'll as
a home that has forgotten her when

rie before becomes austere and
meaningful and tragic. The dream

Martin Johnson, who brought to
this country in 1918 the most inter-
esting and genuinely thrilling mo-
tion pictures that had ever been
made among the South Sea Islands,
and who returned to his cannibal
acquaintances for more pictures a
year or so ago, has had the unique
experience of exhibiting films before
savages who not only had never
seen movies before but were totally
ignorant of the civilized life they
showed. Mr.. Johnson writes of his
experience in the May number of the
Educational Film Magazine. of New
York. He went to the Island of
Malekula, in the New Hebrides,
where he and Mrs. Johnson had a
narrow escape from the natives on
their first trip. In the party were
four white men, Mrs. Johnson and
thirty black men brought from an
other and more civilized island.
They spent some time trying to win
the friendship and confidence of the
natives, and finally prepared to give
their show on the beach.
II was very doubtful" writes Mr..
Johnson, "as to the manner in which
the movies would be taken by the
savages, and for my first attempt i
decided to set up my projection ap-
paratus near the shore, so that we
could get away quickly should the
natives get worked up"
So far, so good, but when he tried
his new projection machine Mr..
Johnson found that 1t would not
work. The savages assembled and
watched him. They knew that
something unusual was expected to
happen, and Mrs. Johnson feared
that he would arouse their anger
IL he failed to satisfy their curiosity.
Fut he could do nothing. The saw
ages began to mutter, and, he writes,
81 expected hell to break loose"
But he kept on trying. and of the
results finally achieved he says:
II had overhauled everything con-
! nected with the generating outfit,
and the motor refused to give
even a spark. The outfit was a
series of wheels and gears that were
turned by man power-two men on
either side turning handles that
drove the wheels to such a speed
! that sufficient speed was supposed to
BE- provided, that it would have the
same effect of driving the motor by
an engineer. But no juice could be
produced, and just before sundown i
stood off looking at the machine,
! about the most worried man on
earth at the time, and gave 1t up.
I motioned to the boys who were
/ turning the hardles to quit. They
misunderstood>me and started turn

nection was painted over so that the
proper joint was not possible, and in
working with 1t had not been able
to find it. until the boys burned a

burst of speed.
