Your antiquarian seeking exam pies
OF worn-out and makeshift devices that
have been used in melodrama of the
last two or three decades has not far
to go. His task is made easy for him.
Nearly all Of them have been gathered
and thrust into Bull Dog Drum
mond," the British thriller which un-
leashed its collection of shrieks, pistol
shots, plots, villains, doped cigarettes
and mysteries at the Knickerbocker
Theater last Monday evening. Look
hard and long for q play in this effort
by "Sapper" and You viii not find one.
but this does not mean that you will
not find an evening of entertainment,
provided you take the thing in the
proper spirit. Take Bull Dog Drum
mond' in the spirit of Joke, laugh
at the terrible villain and his threats,
smile at the criminalities of the ficnd-
ish doctor and you are bound to enjoy
Yourself.
This is the advice of A Z. Matthews,
the English actor, who played the title
role here. If, instead of as an actor
MIR. Matthews had come to the theater
last Monday evening as dramatic
critic, prepared to judge Bull Dog
Drummond" on its merits as play, he
confesses he should have had to give
up the task
I'D have said to myself that there
is no play and there isn't. The thing is
not to be taken seriously. If there had
been need of a curtain speech at the
opening I should not have referred to
Bull Dog Drummond' as play, but IS
an entertainment, and that is what we
try TO make it. My chief fear on the
opening night was that the audience
might not take 1t as we intended. We
endeavored to play it as a joke, we
hoped the audience would take it as a
Joke, and, fortunately, we think they
ook it exactly in this spirit. And so
did the critics" said NJ. Matthews

England Still Has
Substantial Hope
of National Theater
From The T14oune's Europear Bureau


LONDON, Dec. 31.-The Shakespeare
Memorial National Theater Committee
has decided to sell the site for the
erection of national theater which it
bought eight years ago in the Blooms
bury district OF London, and the whole
national theater movement appears to
be IN temporary eclipse. eve have got
too much money to do nothing with
and not enough with which to do any
thing effective" is the summing up of
the situation by a leading member OF
the committee,
The committee has got together
half million dollars or thereabouts
toward a scheme originally planned to
cost fifteen times as much Of the
half million, one-eighth was contrib
uted by a single donor The scheme
began with this one big individual
gift and the formation of a committee
with an imposing array Of names. A.
Gilbert K. Chesterton put it:
Lord Lilad thought it rather rotten
That Shakespeare should be quite for
gotten"
so committee was got together with
Lord Rosebcry and Comyns Carr
And all the other names there are"
And there, aside from the purchase of
the Bloombury site now to be sold
and the subsidizing of single Shake
spearean company, the project Of a ma
tional theater has remained.
1t is not very creditablc to the
friends Of the drama in this country
that the appeal of the committee has
in thirteen years failed to draw mora
than very few thousands from the
general public. Possibly, however, the
proposition was not made sufficiently
attractive. The committee has been
strongly criticized from many quarters
for its secrecy and inertia It WAS
blamed for its action in acquiring the
Bloomsbury site both on the ground
that the site itself was unsuitable and
on the ground that it was foolish to
lock up the bulk of its capital in a site
when there was no chance of getting.
within a reasonable time, the where
withal to build on it,
Now, in some quarters, it is blamed
for its decision to dispose of the site.
But it has really little choice in the
matter The fact is that the war has
wrecked the proposal in its original
form, and that at time when funds
are demonstrably unobtainable along
present lines the committees slender
resources are not likely to grow un-
less some new sort Of squirt is made.
With the rise Of London land values
the site ought to fetch to-day a con-
siderably greater sum than was paid
for it eight years ago. The sale will
put the committee once more In pos
session of a sum certainly not very
large, but anyway liquid capital. The
question now is, What is the committee
going to do with its money?
The idea of permanent Shakesperean
theater, according to the committee. is
not definitely abandoned 1t is merely
deferred till more auspicious period.
One sees that period, however, q long
time coming. In the mean time the
committee plans to work toward
theater along the lines
of substituting a company 1t holds that
Mt present the slender resources avail
able should be devoted to fostering
