THE DRAGON" comedy by Lady Greg
Lady Gresory,. wonder Play.

There is so much of the ancient
magic OF true fairy story in THE
Dragon" that. though it was obviously
written for children and staged in this
holiday week to catch them as they
drift by. we suspect they would enjoy
it hugely. 1t is by Lady Gregory, and.
little dreaming how degraded and
cheapened the phrase was going to
become in another land some day, she
described it on the fiyleaf as a wonder
play. The wonder in it is the magic
that sets the leprauchans to mischief
and brings on a painting dragon to
talk with a pronounced brogue. The
undeniable excitement and the humor
and the fantasy in it are of the stuff
that abounds in tales and ballads writ
ten so long ago that no one remem-
bers who wrote them. Lady Gregory
is one of those strays In a modern
world who sometimes have dreams a
thousand years old.
One of them is THE Dragon" pro-
dgious affair about a princess who.
according to the astrologer. is to be
devoured by monster unless she is
wed before an appointed day. Except
for one timid little princely suror who
has seven solicitous aunts, we most
enjoyed making acquaintance yester-
day afternoon with the astrologer who
makes the aforesaid prediction. His
distress when he thinks for one dis

LONDON, January S.-Two sig
nificant facts emerge from the sto-
ries of the state tour of India by
the young Prince OF wales. now
half completed. The first Is that
the personality of the heir 10 the
British imperial crown apparently
has triumphed over boycott and Sc

Of Mahatma Gandhi, apostle Of nom

The Prince has now visited hve
states and been accorded receptions
in Ave provincial capitals. In each
city there were rumblings of dis
content before his arrival. The
"hartal" forblddlng natives to ac-
cord him recognition was at FIRST
vigorously observed. but little by
little. sas the natives began TO warm
to the Prince. Gandhrs restrictions
were thrown overheard.

demonstrations. wholly opposed to

that some new flrebrand. preaching
