FAMOUS MARI0NETTES BEWITCH YOUNG.
AND OLD IN TWO ARTISTIC PLAYS

the scene in the Wrinkle kitchen
Then. there was the scene in the
mountains with the birds flying
about and the beautiful sky line. A
real goblin scene was the cave scene
when Rip took the drink from the
keg which started him along his 20
year snooze.
1t was the magic of rolling back the
years for many and making the story
of childhood days all the more en-
ioyable. We all forgot that we were
being amused. it was all so real.
The music was most appropriate
just big enough to fit the scene. And
as the curtain rolled back, for final
encore, there appeared on the stage,
a giant. He was stopped over, al
most double, in order to get into the
picture. What could 1t ever be?
Surely he was eighteen feet tall, as
the speaker at the beginning of the
fun had denied. Then we rubbed
our eyes and looked again. Sure
enough, it was the speaker of the
earlier evening. He was life size
and natural enough. but the Rip Van
Wrinkle folks had assumed all human
proportions while amusing us. And
we had thought we would never for
get that they were small.
Mr.. Tony Sarg has accomplished a
wonderful thing. He has continued
to amuse the little ones which is a
wonderful task in itself. But not only
that. he is making the grown-ups
laugh and grow young again. And
after all, its more of task to make
srown-ups slip their faces.

N. CLEMENCEAu IN
BEHIND CLOSED DOOR
talk To NEWSM|EN

New York, Nov. e0.-(By A. Ply
Georges Clemenceau. advocate of
France, unleashed his oratory today
before one of the most critical audi
ences he is likely to face in America.
Appearing for a 15-minute talk be-
fore group of newspaper editors and
publishers at luncheon arranged by
Ralph Pulitzer of the New York World,
the venerable tiger plunged so deeply
into the subject closest to his heart
that it was So minutes before he could
find stopping place.
His auditors represented many
shades of political opinion. Among
them were men who had written edi-
torials criticizing his views on world
politics. But at the end Of his address
they. were al agreed on one thing: That
Clemenceau is passionately in earnest
about the cause of France and that
bis address will be we'll worth hearing
The speech was delivered behind
closed doors, and 1t was generally
agreed that it should not be reported
But it was authoritatively described
as follows:
IN. Clemenceau made speech that
was marked by extraordinary elo-
quence, frankness and sincerity.
HE said he had not come to America
to tell Americans what they should do,
but to show them what France needs.
His address was a complete. candid
discussion Of the situation as he sees
it. and was marked throughout by deep
emotion.
He specifically requested that no
textual references be made, as he
wished to reserve the matter for his
public addresses
The tiger will make his first public
address tomorrow evening in the Met
Topolitan Opera House.

gusta City Hall gave the sort
of a show. RIP Van Winkle." such
as even Joe Jefferson might pat on
on the head and that YOU or l might
feel sure we saw in our dreams 1t
all seemed so real and then again,
the sad moments in the realistic lit
tie drama, would be suddenly loosen
ed by q giggle when we thought.
"They are just dolls which are put
through those motions and made to
say those words by grown ups be-
hind the scenes" 1t was a packed
house of grown ups and their young
ers. who gulped up Tony Sarg's
Marionettes in their delightful play.
A roll Of drums and the curtain
was pulled back. But even before
that the Marionettes were briefly
explained by the manager. He was a
real nice chap and what he had to
say was sort of convincing but we
all felt certain we never would forget.
during the whole show, how small
the Alarionettes were and that they
were only dolls after all. The little
figures. he explained, were two feet
high. How monotonOus. we thought,
to sit and look at two foot dolls. The
scenery was made by scale.
Well the curtain rolled back and
there was revealed the outside of the
King George Inn The wee trellis ran
up the side Of the Inn: there was
the old fashioned door; the table and
the chairs for the patrons were there.
Each wee character appeared in
turn. But as the play unfolded it
self. all in familiar line to the many
who have read and re-read the story,
the characters assumed all the life
like proportions desired.
We forgot that the stage was only
matter of few feet high and a
few feet wide. The little figures, as
they wobbled through their parts,
were quaint and delightful. They
moved their little jaws, that's what
the folks nearer the front declared.
They even winked their little eyes
and displayed much human char
acteristics
The story of Rip Van Wrinkle,
known so long that quotation marks
are not necessary, is familiar to
everyone who ever delighted in
smuggling into a corner on rainy
day and reading. The story was al
most all there. Monday night, en-
bodied in seven scenes. There was
