A RESOLVE Appointing a Commit

Two years ago Resolve similar to
the one before you was passed by the

in the cast and one other that causes
us to pause and wonder. Basil sgd
ney, as Richard Dudgeon, the chief
character. is robust, sympathetic in
a challenging way, and easily figure
which holds the attention. He con-
veys the strong impression that, al
though throughout his life he had
fought the austere spirit of his
mother, eventually he reverted to the
same type in unwavering firmness
and refusal to avert punishment as
as Burgoyne. gentlemanly cynic and
admirer Of American courage, seems
admirably adapted to that role and
more amusing situations of the play.
Florence Auer, as Mrs. Annie Prim-
rose Dudgeon, doubtless represents
the Shaw conception of American
Puritanism and makes the role a liv-
ing example of human bitterness and
sternneSs, though it is doubtful If
such a personality could have been
taken from life. Jane Miller, as Judith
Anderson, offers a singular feminine
character, whose emotions are stir
red. apparently, by admiration for one
whom she affects to deSpiSe because
of the kind of life he has led, and
pass from repression to the frankest
OF declarations. yet later she finds
original object. 1t may perhaps be
said of Miss Miller that she succeeds
by art in removing sincerity from the
role.
The remainder of the cast is COM
mendable and the company achieves
performance which gives unusual
satisfaction.

coast GUARDS QUIT
DUE TO RUM WAR
Forty Resign, Declining to
Risk Lives in Battle With
Runners.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PHILADELPHIA. Pa. October 19.--
Because they were hired to save lives
and property and not to dodge bull
let's from high-powered rifles of gen.
tlemen of the booze business. forty
coast guards have resigned from the
service and are seeking less hazard
ment
And, incidentally, coast guard cap
talns of thirty-siX stations from
Sandy Hook TO Cape May are peeVed
because they are short of help and be-
cause cases still come ashore in the
dead of night. much to their discredit.
TOO many hazards, explained a
veteran yesterday. There is no use
risking a punctured skin for $50 a
month and an allowance OF $50 for
subsistence. We were hired to drag
unfortunate wreck victims to safety,
warn of storms and give relief in
case of accidents. Nothing was said
about boarding a lot of desperate
characters on fast boats.
The boys who come ashore with
liquor are not going to stop for one
or two coast guards. Instead of that,
they unlimber a gat and begin blaz-
ing away.
Eight men have left the Cold Spring
and Cape May stations within the last
fortnight.
Capt. John c. Cole. former superin-
tendent. reported that a large mum
her Of men had given up their posi-
tions or were about to do so.
Appeals have been made by the men
to those in charge of the coast guard
and it is expected that the situation
will be taken up in Washington.

ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAL - Nine. Schumann.
Heink,

Washington turned out en- masse at
the National Theater yesterday after
noon to hear Nine. Ernestine Schu-
mann -Heink in her first appearance
here this season. Assisted by Florence
Hardeman, violinist, and Katherine
Hoffman, pianist, this presentation in
the T. Arthur Smith series of star
concerts will stand out as one of the
most enjoyable entertainments of the
year. Nine. Schumann-Heink pos
sesses the kind of voice one loves to
listen to, for it is dramatic, pathetic,
triumphant. frivolous, gloriously
happy and unbelievably sad in a sue
cession of selections and moods well
chosen for a concert program.
Yesterdays program was distinctly
German. two of the three song groups
being in that tongue. The first was
a group OF arias, including Armida
aria from "Rinaldo" (HandeD; erda
scene from 'Rheingold" (Wagner), and
Brangaena's call. from Tristan and
ISOLDE (Wagner); concluding with
Franz SchubertS hymn Die All
macht. The generous applause which
followed these selections was awarded
by an encore. Danny Boy" which
Mime. Schumann-H explained was
tHe IaVoFlte or the boys IN camp.
The next group comprised selec-
tion of German songs, "Fruhlings-
fahrt" and "Widmung," by Schumann:
Franz's Cute Nacht" and "Sappische
Ode" by Brahms: also six gypsy
songs by Brahms, including "Ho,
There, Gypsy" High and Towering
Stream" Know Ye. When My Loved
One Is Fairest of All Bliss?" Loving
God, Thou Knowest How Oft I've
often, Sweetheart?" and "Rosebuds
Three. Mime. Schumann- Heink fol-
lowed this group with two encores,
AT Parting" and "By the Waters of
Mtnnetonka," the latter being by re-
quest. This number had violin ac-
compartment by Florence Hardeman
Last was group of English songs
including, Have You Seen Him in
Fmnce?", by Ward Stephens; There
Is 4,! No Death" Go'Hara). Sweetheart"
Worth While" Ward StephensC,
''Dreamland Gates" Charles Huer-
teri, and. by request, "Bolero" Geg-
gero invisibile); by LArditi. The
final encore rendered by Nine. Schu-
manr-Heink was 'Stille Nacht," for
which she explained there were many
requests.
Florence Hardeman is distinctly a
kreisler student, two of her seiec-
tions being compositions by the
famous Austrian, prelude and AL
legro" by kreisler- Paganini. and
"Tambourin Chinois'' (Kreisler). Miss
Hardeman's rendition Of Ave Maria"

BELASC0-"The DEVILS Disciple. !"

Only the master satirist could have
produced a play of the American
Revolution like that of "The
Devils Disciple with q chief char
acter who persistently and consis-
tently kids" himself into the belief
that he properly bears a satanic title.
No other person would have thought
Of it,. and IT is probably equally true
that only Bernard Shaw could have
made K one of the popular selections
of the Theater Guild Repertory
company. which offered it as the
second play of the week at the Shu-
bert-Belasco.
1t is sufficient to say that this Is
Shaw in an American setting. dis
coursing mainly about a great period
can audience in the National Capital.
Yet so far as theatrical entertain
ment is concerned, it matters little
what the setting or the period in his
tory may be, for it is the genius of a
most amusing philosopher that in
terests an audience.
Having lampooned British and
European institutions and pet beliefs
until anger and resentment have
the American struggle for independ-
ence and, in a search for material,
directs his shafts upon both sides in
discriminatory. 1t is a mere carica-
ture, and even the characters cannot
be seriously criticized. Each of them
regularly does the unexpected thing
and has no more consistency than is
exhibited in the patter of vaudeville
artist. Yet the fun is of the kind that
would appeal to almost every stage of
intelligence as a cause OF unrestrained
laughter.
The truth is that the only impress
sion to be gained from the play is
that we are privileged to spend a
few hours of association with a weird
genius whose chief purpose in life is
to amuse while at the same time
prodding US into at least an attempt
to get away from the Snug common
place into the atmosphere of uncon
ventional thought. With the con-
scientious aid of the capable theater
guild organization our renewal OF
acquaintance with gentle iconoclast
furnishes a very pleasant evening.

Both artists of the afternoon were
