Has Blind Mother and Two Buddies Like Melo
drama, Songs Dances and Prize Fight.

was more "meller" If there ever was
such a thing.
But mother was blind. This had
sharpened her other faculties and she
recalled after while that she had been
the mother of two sons, not only one.
The first had been rather carelessly
misplaced somewhere on the shores OF
Lake Michigan. So she was delighted
to have him once more restored to her
arms. Thus the melody and the meio-
drama kept on alternating. Now there
was a SOFT half repressed sob from
mother. Then Carl Randall danced or
the quartet sang or the knockabout
negro team did a funny prize fight. 1t
was all wonderfully varied, this melody
play.
Miss Dunn gave an exquisitely sensi-
tive portrayal of the blind mother
which could not be robbed of its lowell
ness even by it's surroundings. Ernest
Glendnning played both the offspring of
Pelham Manor and Grantby, Mich. with
complete justice to both localities. Carl
Randall. happening to be altogether on
the side OF melody. danced quite in
comparably. and Miss Mabel Withbee
was his graceful partner. Miss With
bee was also lovely to look at when she
was merely engaged in little dena-
tured acting. 1t was only when she
sang with an acidulated fnaccuracy
really not even permissible in the most
careless musical play that she ceased
to allure.
Russell Medcraft, Richie Ling and
Miss Estelle Howard were some of the
other active participants in Sonny" II
must have been suspected by this time
that a melody play bears strong re-
semblance to REFINED vordevil. That
branch of art is immensely popular.
Judging BY the applause of the audience
last night the same fate is ahead OF
sonny" the first of its kind.

a melody play" is. Arthur Hopkins
did some educational work of the same
kind last winter when he showed in
The Beggar's Opera" what a ballad
opera is like. Melodrama is. of course,
familiar whether It be "Parsifaf' or a
popular priced "meller." But until the
Selwyns gave George V. Hobart and
Raymond Huhbell the chance last night
to bring out this melody play public
knowledge of the subject was slight.
Just how much more was known about

definitely settled But one of Mr.. Hub

There was a mother In the new species

BELGRADE. Bugo- -Slavia. Aug. 10
King Peter of Serbia died here to-day.
King Peter. who for a long time had
been ILL., was reported early in June 10
be In serious condition. He was then
suffering from pleurisy. short time
afterward he was said TO be steadily
improving IN health and his physicians
declared him out Of danger.
Nothing was heard of the aged mon
arch until few days ago. when a dis
patch from Belgrade said he was Sc
rfously III with congestion Of the lungs.
He sank into Inconsistencies Friday
Despite his seventy-one years. in 1914
King Peter presented one of the most
courageous figures Of the war. on the
day that Serbia rejected the Austrian
demands Peter renounced his temporary
abdication Of the throne and placed him
self once more at the head of the coun-
try. He was then almost sightless and
hard of hearing and was under the con-
slant care of a physician. He went
north from the new capital at Kraeuye-
vatz and made an extended visit at the
theatre of the war melting his follow
ers to greater efforts. He then assumed
the leadership of his armies and has
been credited with inspiring the Serbian
drove the enemy beyond the Danube
and reconquered Belgrade. which he en-
tered in state In the fifth month of the
war
When the fortunes of war turned
against the Serbians he remained with
his armies till practically the last units
had been driven from the country and
then effected an escape through Albania
and went to Salonica, where he pre-
sided over the reorganization or his
forces Afterward he went to Corfu.
where he established headquarters and
took an active part in the direction OF
his nonadc government
With the incorporation of Serbia into
the new Jugo-Slav state. Crown Prince
Alexander was chosen for the regency
of the new nation The status of King
Peter was not defined.
Peter J.. the third of the Serbian
dynasty of Karageorgevich, founded by
his intrepid grandfather. Karageorge.
leader of the Serbians in their first revo-
luton against the Turks. was in his
sixtieth year when he became King of
his unhappy country in 1903 His acces-
sion TO the throne followed the assassina-
ton of King Alexander (Obrenovich)
and Queen Draga, a tragedy that
shocked the world and for a time
turned many of the European Powers
against the Serbian Government
Only three Powers forwarded con-
gratulatory messages to the new King
They we're Russia, Austria Hungary and
Montcl -gro. King Peters wife. whom
he r!i.s4-ied in 1888 was the Princess
Zorka, daughter of Prince (afterward
King) Nicholas of Montenegro, by whom
he had two sons and three daughters.
Feeling against the Serbian Government
because of the position 1t took. or rather
didn't take. regarding the assa ssinations
was so intense that all the Powers tenn
porarily withdrew their representatives
from the Serbian capital.
