S Somewhat Reminiscent of
The Return of Peter Grimm

1t is all reminiscent of the quaint and
delightful character in the play THE Re-
turn of Peter Grimm" Those who remember
this play will recall that Peter Grimm was
skeptical when his friend the Doctor de-
clared that he believed those who were
dead could return in spirit to the earth
and watch over those they left behind.
Peter Grimm was angry at first that his
doctor friend should think him such fool
as to believe such things. Then he was
amused At last he made a pact, just to
quiet his old friend, that whichever should
die first should return and tell the other
about what was to come after death. Peter
Grimm smiled in his sleeve-in fact, smiled
outwardly behind his friends back, when
he entered the pact. II was ridiculous to
him.
But the play is built around Peter
Grimm's coming back. II is an entertain
ing play, pure fiction, Of course. and not
supposed to be taken as other than fanci.

startled cry awoke me. She, the entirely
reliable, unimaginative woman of business,
had been sitting beside Hope when she saw

until the cuff was far from meeting the
hand he still wore it. Miss Fray recog

reached the child's shoulder. Her crying
lessened. The hand gently stroked her
shoulder, just as had been my husbands
habit with our little girl in life.
Hopes cries ceased. She did not cry

ence of the hand, she fell
asleep-then the hand was
slowly withdrawn. 1t was
suspended for a moment
above our little girls head,
as though in blessing. Then
slowly it vanished.
Mrs. Davis says that she
has always the consciousness
that her husband is near her.

are upon her.

full entertainment. But Mrs. Davis re
minds one of the circumstances in the
life-and death-of old Peter Grimm when
she tells of her own extraordinary state of
mind-and her experiences.
Mr.. Davis, it will be remembered, died
suddenly while in telephone booth send
ing message. 1t was concluded that his
physical strengthohad been undermined by
the hardships and exposures incident to
his work as war correspondent at the front
Death came so suddenly that there was no
alarm-his body was found crumpled in
the booth, the telephone receiver dangled
over his huddled form.
The day before, Mrs. Davis says, she and
her husband had entertained at their
charming Mount Kisco estate a mutual
friend, woman who was the only person
Mr. Davis would allow to discuss with him
seriously the question of after death COM
munications. This friend was one whose
intellectual attainments Mr.. Davis pro-
foundly respected She was the only one
he frequently said, who could talk with
intelligence on the subject that usually
irritated him-spiritism. He frequently
declared he rather enjoyed arguing with
her, as from her he could keep himself
acquainted with the Clever jargon," as he
called it, of the believers in the psychic
and the spiritualistic
Called 1t Hypnosis and
Regretted 1t as Waste
They never talked together for any
length of time but the friend brought the
subject up. After she had left their home
the day before his death, Mr.. Davis re
marked to his wife:
'She makes vastly interesting deduc
tions. She is victim of self hypnosis
she has hypnotized herself into believing
her premises and she is capable Of further
convincing herself by the deductions her
brilliant mind conceives. 1t is to be re-
gretted her talents are wasted in such a
hopeless field"
IL is important to remember the conver.
sation between Mr.. and Mrs. Davis to un-
derstand properly Mrs. Daviss feelings in
the light of an incident associated with her

Mrs. Davis herself describes what she
