Despite his prestige and dignity
these long livers had stupendous CON
tempt for him and treated him with
contumely. An aged and comely flap
per in bare legs went so far as to
taunt him about his Shavian whiskers,
which she said resembled fringe of
sea weed. They sat on the pier for
hours and chatted and chatted, but he
could not make her understand" Her
name was Zoo and she called him
Daddy" Eventually he was put out of
his misery by kindly oracle who
killed him with a steady look, saying
as she did so, poor short-lived thing!
What else could | do for you?' One
got the impression that all the long
livers were q trife SNUG; also that the
British are not so bad as Mr.. Shaw
suspects them to be.
Fine performances of the characters
Bruning as the Elderly Gentleman, by
A. P. Kaye as the British statesman, by
Miss Margaret Wycherley, who is bet
ter at Oracles than ct snakes, and by
George Gaul, whose interview with the
sybil is one of the most amusing things
in the "cycle." Miss Eleanor Woodruff
was determined and severe as Zoo and
was as scornful as any current fapper

King was tolerant, self-satisfcd

More than usual tributes may be paid

BY devious and awkward paths, lead
ing through situations which bordered
on teh absurd at times, and with ancient
and irritating wheezes along the way,
the authors of Broken Branches"
which was revealed at the Thirty ninth
Street Theater last night, finally ar
rived at the conclusion that parents
should not use meth DDS too severe IN
the upbringing of their children
Neither should they be too indulgent in
The middle course, Emily Nyitray and
Herbert Hall Winslow points out is by
far the safest, and if parents are in
cined to either Of the other extremes
they had better shift. But they must
do it gradually and as early AS possible
in the lives of their children, otherwise
disaster and lonely old age is in
evjtable.
A widower well along in years, turns
over his property, his home and his
business to his only son and wife The
children then put the old man out and
send him to a charitable institutions
Deprived of his home by his son he
loses no chance to denounce all chill
dren. Children, he declares, are all
alike, ungrateful and untrustworthy.
Yet when he RECEIVERS his home and his
property he forgets all his philosophy
about offspring and is happily recon
ciled with his son and daughter law
when he learns there may be a grand
son.
DO ye think you will can him Pat
riek?' asks old Mccain as he exits on

McCann represents the harsh parent
who has done nothing to deserve graft
tude. His friend, Karl Martens,
wealthy diamond dealer, is an over-in-
duigent parent who goes to the oppo-
site extreme. His callow, lazy, pam
pered son, becomes ensnared by a
scheming married woman, his daughter
develops expensive habits. CHANGING
suddenly in his attitude towards them
because of McCann's insistence that
they are selfish and care only for his
money, Martens grows to misunder-
stand his children and drives his son
out of the house. His daughter amid
loud outcrys and lamentations, which
seemed curiously artificial, follows
him.

If less world man than Mr. Cohan
had contrived it, no doubt it would be
considered triumph.

The event also served pleasantly to
introduce Mr.. Cohan's interesting off
spring, Miss Georgette, as an agree
able player in minor melodrama. A
young woman Of earnest individuality,
closely resembling her male parent in
appearance, she acted the title role
with much sincerity and considerable
skill First she represented a roman
tic movie addict, mad about a hand
some screen king; and after that
frightened and repentant little black
mailer in the midst of conspiracies
and gun-plays. The piece is one of
those dream things, reminiscent of
Mr.. Cohan's achievement, "Seven Keys
to Baldpate,' with which admirable
work it suffers in comparison,
After the moving picture stars valet
had begun to read and reflect on
scenario in the prologue, the play in
dustriously reproduced the spisodes Of
the story. In it Miss Cohan and Miss
Ruth Donnelley visited the actors
chambers for innocent purposes and
were there discovered by rough and
bloodthirsty persons purportting to be
members Of their families. You could
tell Immediately that Mr. Cohan wrote
the play, for when Miss Cohan informs
the actor (James Rennie) that she lives
in 140th Street, he remarks at once,
"a sleeper jump Harry Mestayer
as a scenarist, Miss Louise Orth as
Violet Hollywood and Miss Jean Rob
ertsop as Bella Belvidere, moving pic
ture players, came and went effectively
among the plat's intricacies; and Frank
Sheridan, impersonating Callahan,
dete ctive, performed some quiet sturdy
melodrama, putting much agitation into
the last act by thrilling feats of marks
manship and a gorgeous exit speech,
extolling the police. Better than the
ordinary play of its kind, "Madeleinc'
Twill be still better, one suspect, after
Mr. Cohen has added speed to its per
formance. It's principal handicap is
the shadow of "Seven Keys to Bald

after insistent demands for him and
thanked the audience on behalf Of his
daughter and himself.

The Second Stage in 'Back

Reached at tho
Carrick

Further complaints against the prcva-
lent imperfections were given out Sun
day night by Mr.. Shaw and the Thea
ter Guild in the second stretch of the
relay performance of Back to Mcthuse-
lah' at the Garrick The proceedings
were much more ruthless in conver
sational way than those which init
ated the contest, and they were consid-
cred by many to be battling. There
were, however, frequent opportunities
in the less profound of the speeches
for merriment, and hearty laughter
was often to be heard from 1880 to
l1:45. Mr.. Shaw's long jibes at politics
statesmanship, the English, the Irish,
the Americans. religion, war, the habit
of travel, adolescence or microscopy
seldom failed to win large apprecia-
tion. There was something on the agile
end of his tongue to please every one
present, now and then, for, as the poet
said of the vicar:
His talk was like stream which runs
With rapid change from rock TO roses:
II slipped from policies to puns;
II passed from Mahomet to Moses;
beginning with the laws that keep
The planets in their radiant courses
And ending with some precept deep
For dressing cells or shOerg horses

Dame Fashion has gone one better

BOOK OF ETIQUETTE
FAILS PROVE CASE

YORK, Nov. 22.-That it is not
etiquette for man to speak to an
unknown lady in a train has just
been formally declared by the mag
istrates of this city.
Felix Roberts, of Newcastle, had
dinner in the smoking portion of a
buffet and afterwards went into a
non-smoking carriage, where Miss
Monstaglio, of Whitley Bay, was
sitting.
He attempted to open up con-
versation with her, but resenting
this, she complained to the conduc-
tor, who asked Roberts to go back
to the smoking section. But, later
in the journey, Roberts made a
second attempt to make the lady's
acquaintance and he was arrested.
81 have done nothing unbecoming
to gentleman" he declared before
the court. SIN the book Of etiquette
Of 1922 can prove that a gentle
man can approach lady and speak
to her"
But, despite the book Of etiquette
Roberts was heavily fined.

WOMEN ROLLED

LONDON, Nov. 21--"No woman

Her words have almost raised an
internal war among women. News

dignant protests and threats that Lady
Balfour must eat her words or be for
ever discredited among women.
And, according to patent agents
here, she is talking nonsense. George

discovered radium. An American wo-

long ago as 1871. A woman invented

LONDON, Nov. Bolshevism is
the favorite bugaboo Of English poll
ticians. It's an old dodge, this trotting
out the red terror, every time politi-
cal crisis arises, but it always seems
to succeed in England.
There is no spirit of Bolshevism in
England, and any student of the Eng
lish people knows that there is no
need for fear of Bolshevism in
country where handful of police can
rule an unemployed demonstration and
where people stand patiently in long
lines and wait hours to see the King
pass.
It's fine old scarecrow-this Boil
shevism--but it works in England.
"There is an assured future in Amer

cellent chance of scoring successes in
the American field and believes they
should develop this opportunity.

To the many Office seekers on the
rampage this year is suggested the fol-
lowing plank for their platform:
Economy and simplicity in govern
ment, consistent and persistent eff
fort to reduce taxes. with the under
standing that taxes cannot be reduced
unless we reduce the expense of govern
ment, applicable to local as well as
state and federal governments. The
only way to save money is TO stop
spending it. Choke to death all possible
chance of grating. Demand of the
courts to forbid the practice of resort
ing to "technicalties" as a substitute
for justice and right. Stop opportuni-
ty for extravagant borrowing for luxu-
ries enormously held to be necessities
and comforts. whereby heavy mortgage
obligations hang over the borrower and
form clouds of discomfort.
