Snapshots Seen

New Revue Boasts Several
Burlesques Really Arnals.

By Haywood Broun

"Snapshots Of 1921" the first Of the
summer revues, was produced at the
Sclwyn Theater last night ard proved
to be vivid show. with the additional
distinction Of possessing not little
genuine and amusing satire. Bur-
1esques of current dramatic styles,
which are now seen infrequently and
are generally poorly done, are excel
lent in three out Of the five examples
presented lsst night. The, American
Conception Of the English Triangle,
written by John Hastings Turner, and
The English Conception Of the Ameri-
can Triangle, by James Montgomery
Flagg, are capital The latter enlists
the services of Lew Fields in Western
dialect and makes ons wonder why he

Slovak accent for so long. De Wolf

larly amusing. An excellent opportu-
rity Is also wasted in the burlesque OF
the current forms of mystery melo-
drama. Glenn Macdonough, however
has provided hiIAs'0us moments in

Nursery" which seems to have been
suggested by Mice People" Miss Nc

they did no more for the show than

female clown seen bercabouts in a
season.
Miss Bayes carries the bulk of the
| singing and there are also one or two
| good numbers by Belle McEwan. We
wish she would not take the high notes
| in whispering soprano. but at other
attitudes she is excellent. Gilda Gray
shimmies with her accustom ed techni-
cal facility and there are other attrac-
tive dancing numbers by Ruth Hale
and Ruth White. The revue has been
handsomely costnmed and mounted. The

usually imaginative and attractive.

The Waiting Line

HNE evening recently was
~ late in leaving my Office in
the University Building at
Washington Square. 1t was
nearly six o'clock and rather
dark. AS came out on the
Waverly Place side found a
line of young men and women
that extended along the side
walk for more than halt a block.
Now the lire halted; now it
moved toward the entrance,
where three express elevators
were busy carrying the students
TO the lecture room above. The
line seemed never to diminish,
for new figures hurrying down
the street added themselves to
its end.
The sight was not new to me.
But on this particular evening
I could not help thinking that
this was one of the most inter
esting and amazing scenes in
our great city. For here were
literally thousands of~a,nbitious
young men and women Of New
York, tired after their days
work, foregoing the various
pleasures of the evening, all
patiently waiting to begin their
evenings instruction in the
classroonls of the University.
A line like this before a the
atre at which a popular play
was presented would not have
been surprising. But the fact
that this line forms every night
at the doors of an institution of
learning is worthy of notice.
In that line, I knew, were
college graduates who were
carrying forward their educa-
ton in the scientific and pro-
fessional fields; graduates of
our New York City high
schools seeking a training for
business and the industries.
In that line were some of the
most ambitious young people in
New York-young men and
women who were willing and
eager to give their evenings in
order to secure better educa-
ton.
I am not ashamed to admit
that uncovered my head in the
presence of this procession.
Here was indornitable courage
possessed by members of New
York's younger generation who
refuse to be turned aside from
their pursuit of an education.
Their courage gave me new
courage. I am going to do my
best to help them.

The New PLAY
By Percy Hammond
ssIhe Fair Circassian'' as q
Drama Inspires Sorrow
Rather Than Ex-
postulation

Tho romantic ceremonies entitled
THE Fair Circassian," performed last
night at the Republic, should ho spok-
en- OF more in sorrow than in anger.
A fertile "idea" was at hand: there was
much rythmic conversation between tho
participants, the dress was rich and
picturesque and several of the actors
were reminiscent OF human beings.
Rather novel story awaited adequate
recital, and scenery Of credible
sort was present as a BACKGROUND.
sorchestral music, and Oriental dancing
Of sedate type accompanied the exer-
cises, and there was, presumably. con-
siderable accuracy in reproducing the
atmosphere indigenous to London in
the year 1919. Why, then, you may
inquire. should either sorrow or anger
be the mood of n report Of "Tho Fair
Circassian"? Well, the answer is that
"The Fair Circassian,' endeavoring
honestly to be an entertainment, failed,
despite its intrepidity, and became, a
prolonged and serious charade. IT pos
sessed the charade's hostile clements
ingenuousness and sophistication-an
it lacked the charade's charm Of in
formal intimacy.
-+-s ~-s* y: *
The play. by Miss Gladys Unger, is
all about Fora, Circassian slave girl
(Miss Margaret Mower), who is sent
by the Shah of Persia as q present to
the King of England. She arrives at
London in hamper surrounded by an
entourage of ministers and ambassa-
doris and straightway becomes a sensa-
tion. Her feet and other things are
bare, and she is crowned with the
bobbed red locks of the women Of hei,
native province. Adopted into the fam
lily Of Lord Ottery, she becomes en-
gagged to be married to Lord Ottery's
son, the Hon. Claude Faulconhurst.
Attempts to educate her in English
ways inspire satirical comparisons aof
tho manners of the East with those of
the West, and little laughter is
evoked by these coy ironics. Proving
that East is East and West is West and
thnt the twain are not compatible,
Fora at the end foregoes matrimony
with the noble Englishman and falls
into the ample arms Of the Prince

declared they did not believe the re-

The labor men asserted the next
move was up to the road They de-
clared that if the cuts did become
effective April I, labor then would
appeal to the federal board.
According to the union leaders, COM

would abide by any decision reached
by the board, and in the event it was
ordered to restore the present scale.
it would make the restoration retro
active to April 1.
