RAIN"

New York, Dec. 5.-The outstand-
ing drama OF the season, judged from
every viewpoint of excellence, is
Rain"
Not only is the performance OF
Jeanne Eagles as Sadie Thompson one
of the finest Characterization oul
stage of today can claim, but acting,
play and production, measured by au-
thoritative criterions, are fawless.
Perhaps | should modify every
viwpoint" for there is considerable
doubt as to the approval Of the evan
gelically orthodox for this uncompro-
missing denunciation of foreign mis-
sionary religion.
The psychonalytical study OF the
Rev. Davidson, his religious express
sions, emanating from his suppress
ed desires" of more materialistic sig
nifeance, is a frank illustration Of
holding the mirror up TO Nature
in the theatre.
There are lines in the play, illumin-
atiug in their truthfulness. And one
rcioices at the way in which the audi
ences Of the Thirty-n,nth Street Thea
tire, where Sam A. Harris is present
ing this truly remarkable play, ac-
cepts these lines in their life reveal
ing quality.
The most commanding note OF
Rain" is its realism. The 'illusion
of reality" is never violated. Not once
do we find an actor listening to his own
voice. Rarely is there a detail that
reminds us we are in tn thatr.
Jeanne Eagles as Sadie Thompson
is the living creature, fleeing to the
South Seas from the shadows Of her
past. The beating Of this woman to
the will of his conversion by the Rev.
Davidson and the relentless thuth-l-
Eliminating denouement Is as as inter-
esting as it is extraordinary. AND
this tragic drama is unfolded against
= colorful tropical background of the
South Seas, where. III The trader $
store of Page Page, diverse types OF
humanity with their mingling moral
tiles and ethics are thrown together.
During the entire play it rains al
most constantly and always reallstlcaI-

ces places her at the very top OF the
artistic ladder, upon whose rungs so

No Hope Held for
Rise of the Mark

Berlin, Dec. j.-Amcricans in the
United States are storming their
friends and relatives in Germany with
requests for information with regard
10 the disposition of their marks.
The great brotherhood Of "sack hold
ers' seek a way out.
Millions of dollars were invested in
German marks by Americans at
prices which, though at the time of in
vcstment comparatively low, have en-
tailed practically total loss to the
American spectators. Americans
bought 10000 marks, for example
at six cents each a. q total cost OK
$780, find their marks today worth
less than SO.
Americans in Germany are at a
loss what to answer their friends at
home. Nobody in Germany or any
where else knows what the mark Will
do. Every effort seems 10 have been
undertaken to stabilize the mark
so far without avail The mark drops
by hundreds and thousands to the dol
lar every day. Germans themselves
refuse to keep their marks-they
change them into dollars, pounds, and
/ into merchandise.
German bankers when asked their
opinion regarding the future of the
mark. shake their heads and point out
what it has been doing for the past
year or so, that efforts Of commit
tees, commissions, government eX-
nerts. DEGREES against speculation, etc.
| have not even for the moment slack
ened the downward rush.
And they see no reason why the
mark will be stabilized, unless sor1e-
thing extraordinary is done They
further suggest that should the mark
become stable at the present rate, OF
even at little better rate, 1t Will have
little value to tn speculative Americans
The American who got ria OF ms
marks several months ago at a SINAI
/ loss was apparently the winner. The
others have. to all intents and pur

Claim Cure Of
Leprosy In Hawaii

San Francisco, Dec. 5--PhySicians
are becoming increasingly confident
that the recently discovered chaul-
, moog1a oil treatment for leprosy will
eventually rid the islands Of the Pa
cific. of that disease 1t is in the
South Seas ana adjacent regions tfat
leprosy has It's greatest hold.
Added belief that this IS the case
was felt by physicians here with the
news that 10 lepcrs at the Kalaupapa
leper settlement in Hawaii have been
recommended for parole by physicians
in charge Of the colony.
This is declared to be the first time
in the history that actual recommen-
dation has been made that lepers be
paroled. Parole means that the pa
tient is on the way TO recovery. For
centuries ieprosy has been listed as
an incurabie disease.
The recommendation in the case Of
the Kaupapa colony was made by DR..
". j. woodward, an expert on lep-
rosy. The 10 patients in question
have all been treated with injections
of the chaumoogra specific for three
years. The treatment is voluntary.
No lcper is required to take it, as it
is still regarded as somewhat in the
experimental stage.
Dr.. Woodward declared that all Of
the ~ show marked signs OF improve
ment. The disease has been complete

thing hitherto never known. for lep-
rosy is so-cal!cd Creeping disease
increasing from month to month and
year to yinr.
What i declared to be particularly
Important is the fact that all Of the
10 were severe cases, who had been
given up as hopeless.
The efficiency of the chaulmoogra
specific has already been demonstrate
ed in Honplulu hospitals. Beginning
or sJspec' ed cases Of leprosy have
been treated with the oil there dur
ing the past three years, with the re-
suit that not a single patient has been
sent to the lepcr colony. All of those
so treated have eventually been re-
leased from the hospital, either com
pletcly cured, or with the disease ar
rested, in which case it is no longer
dangerous.
Plans are being made to put the 10
