The New Play
~ Percy Hammond
The Hattons, in I've
Girls Make Fun of
the Baby-Adult
THE CAST

Ihe Hatton drama usually contains
an idea and plenty of conversation. and
We Girls" the latest of the family
product, possesses both. if nothing else.
In the way of az idea this new play at
the Forty-eighth Street Theater offers,
as its principal character, an elderly
lady afflicted with an age-complex. That
is, she is fair and forty-six, and her
dread of the years induces her to hide
her antiquity behind frivouous screen
Of baby-talk and other girlish practices.
II is her habit to refer to herself as
little me-" or is it "itty me-" and she
coos and buYbles throughout the ex-
ercises with the blithe garrulity of an
infant in arms. Though she is the sort
of pest who in what is known as "real
life" inspires curses and neck wringing,
she is so amusingly portrayed in eve

her. Three of the men in the piece
are mad over her simpering precocities.

seem to have given way to a mere
humorous sauciness of speech and con-

g 1t is this daughter, played with

who impels the piece to its highest

was not the statesmen that failed,
30 much as the spirit OF the peoples
behind them. The hope. the aspira-
ton for a new world order OF peace
and right and justice-howeve
deeply and universally felt-was still
only feeble and ineffective IN com

passions which found their express
sion in the peace treaty. Even II
Wilson had been one OF the great
demi-gods OF the human race. he
could not have saved the peace.
Knowing the peace conference as I
knew II from within, feel con-
WINGED IN my own mind that not the
greatest man born OF woman in the
history OF the race would have saved
that situation. The great hope was
not the heralding Of the coming
dawn. as the peoples thought. but
only a dim intimation OF some far
of event towards which we shall yet
have TO make many a long weary
march. Sincerely as we believed in
the moral ideals for which we had
fought. the temptation at Paris OF a
large booty 10 be divided proved too
great. And IN the end not only the
leaders but the peoples preferred a
bit OF booty here. a strategic frontier
there. a coal field or an OIL we'll. an
addition to their population or their
resources-to all the faint allure
ments of the ideal. AS 1 said at the
time, the real peace was still 10

League Was Savior.

What was really saved at Paris
was the child--the covenant OF the
League OF Nations. The political
realists who had their eye on the
loot were prepared-however re-
luctantly-to throw that innocent
little sop 10 Pres't Wilson and his
fellow idealists. After all. there was
not much harm IN IL. II threatened
no present national interest. and II
gave great pleasure TO number of
good impractical people in most
countries. Above all. Pres't Wilson
had 10 be CORRELATED. and this was
the last and the greatest of the Il
points on which he had set his heart
and by which he was determined TO
stand or fall. And 50 ne got his
way. But il is a fact that only
man OF his great power and infu-
ence and logged determination
could have carried the covenant
through that peace conference.
Others had seen with him the great
vision. others had perhaps given
more thought TO the elaboration Of
the great plan. But his was the
power and the will that carried it
through. The covenant is Wilson'S
souvenir TO the future OF the world
No one Will ever deny him that
honor.

vague hope OF a great moral peace.
OF a new world order arising vis.bly
and Immediately on the ruins OF the
old. This hope was not a lacrs su-
perficial sentiment Il was the in
tense expression at the end OF the
war OF the inner moral and spiritual
force whicA had upborne the peoples
during the dark night Of the war and
bad nerved them 10 an effort almost
beyond human strength. Surely
surely. God had been with them in
that long night OF agony. His was
the victory; His should be the peace.
And Pres't Wilson was looked upon
as the man 20 make this great
peace. He had voiced the great
ideals Of the new order: his great
utterances had become the contract
ual basis for the armistice and the
peace. The idealism OF Wilson would
surely become the reality Of the new
order Of things in the peace treaty.
Fought Like Heracles.
In this atmosphere OF extrava-
CANT. almost frenzied expectation he
arrived at tho Paris peace confer
ence. without hesitation he plunged
into that inferno OF human passions,
He went down into the Pit like a
second Heracles to bring back the
fair Alcestis Of the worlds desire.
There were six months OF agonized
waiting. during which the world sit
uation rapidly deteriorated And
then he emerged with the peace
treaty. II was not a Wilson peace.
and he made a fatal mistake in
somehow ewing the impression that
the peace was in accord with his IA
points and his various declarations.
Not so the world had understood
him. This was a Punic peace, the
same sort Of peace as the victor
had dictated TO the vanquished for
thousands Of years II was not AL
cestis, it was a haggard unlovely
woman with features distorted with
hatred. greed, and selhshness, and
the little child" that the woman
carried was scarcely noticed. Yet it
was for the saving of the "child"
I that Wilson had labored until he
was a physical wreck. Let our other
great statesmen and leaders enjoy
their well-earned honOrs for their
unquestioned success at Paris. To

stroyed. and the foundations OF hu-
man government were shaken In
way which will be felt for genera
tons. The Paris peace lost en- op-
'portunity as unique as tho great war
Itself. In destroying the moral ideal
ism born Of the sacrifices OF the war
IL did almost as much as the war
itself IN shattering the structure OF
western civilization.
And the odium for all this fell es-
pecially on Prest Wilson. Round
him the hopes had conferred: round
him the disilluzon and despair now
gathered. Popular opinion largely
held him responsible for the bitter
disappointment and grievous failu
ure. The cynics scoffed; his friends
were silenced in the universal dis
appointment Little or nothing had
been expected from the other lead
ers: the whole failure was put 10
the account OF Woodrow Wilson. And
finally America for reasons OF her

mistakes, and there were occasions

which he has been held mainly re-
sponsible.
Let us admit the truth, however
bitter It IS to do so for those who

far more serious. II was the human
spirit itself that failed at Paris. 1t
Is no use passing judgments and

dividual statesman or group of
statesmen. IdealistS make a great
mistake in not facing the real facts

ness is al yet mostly an unequal
struggle.
