night Illustrates what ] am trying
10 say The Bat" I believe, has
talrIy well earned a place in the
theatrlcal sun in this country nov.
Inc other play was tried here IN
New York and did not get very
far. The result was repeated in
London. The Bat unQuestionabI,
has caught on. The other play has
closed already.
The prevailing scale OF prices 4
London is just about the same a.
thst existing in this country. In
those little thester movements sucn
as exist in England as well as in
this country the players. despite
their hsndicaps, were asking ten
shilling and six pence-approxi-
mately $3.50 with war tax ADDED
and getting it.
The motion pictures have thus
Tar failed to make anywhere near
the headwsy abroad they have
made in this country. There are
no motion picture theaters to com
pare with those on Broadway and
the big films that have had sue
cCssful engagements here msnsse
TO drag along for a few weeks Al
the outside.
English audiences, Mr.. Kemper
ssys, take their drama more seri-
ously than do those IN this country
The result is particularly interest
ing with a play of the type Of The
Bat In London, from the very
first night Of The Bat the few In
the audience that were startled
into audible ordinations were a.
ways silenced Immediately by tn.
majority of the audience kissing
them into sile1ce.
American humor goes over JUS
as fast and just as big with az
English audience as IL does here Al
home. In The Bat the chsrscter
OF Lizzie has never failed in this
country. And she didn't fail in
London. Lizzie was almost. il not
quite. the hit OF the play.

SENSES DANGER OF ANOTHER CONFLICT
(Continued From First Page.)
Germany is tho instigator of the pre- Anf difdoultiAe

Germany is tho instigator of the pres ent difficulties.
 Germany" he says, has a demo eratc form of government now ant is not making any attempt to influence a warlike spirit in any other nation Her internal troubles are enough tc keep her busy, She is almost an eco homie wreck and could not finance another war"
 Russia The Big Factor Nr. Gilman also feels that Russia ing factor in the present controversy Russia never will lose her desire for Constantinople," he says The final disposition of Constantinople cannot be made without Russia having a voice in its fate
 "Russia's commercial connections with the outside world depend to a large extent upon her getting an out let on the south. but the bolshevik government is not in shape at this time to put up any fight for constan- tinople. They must strengthen their internal affairs first. The only thing which has brought Turkey and Rus sia together is the fact that at the present time they both are outlaw ma. tions. Turkey would like to have talk en Afghanistan and made a complete Moslem line from Constantinople to the frontier of China, but Russia said No Russia and Turkey will move together long way to crush Armenia but Russia will permit Turkey to go just so far and no farther. There is no love lost between them.'
 Germany Crippled
 So far as Germany Is concerned, Mir Gilman feels, it will be a long time before that country recovers from the world war, and is in a condition to fight again. He does not think it has any connection with the present sit uation.
