The Devils Disciple"
Reeretfully Unusual

"The Devils Disciple" typical Of
ater Guild production, amused and de-
lighted an audience at Polls Theater
last night. The play is to be repeated
at today's matinee and tonight.
Cant. convention, hypocrisy in any
form have. ever been the target of
Shaw's shafts. In "The Devils Dis
ciple" Mr.. Shaw has aimed his
thrusts at puritanism gone to seed.
"The DEVILS Disciple" has been SO
named by the little group Of puritans
who have become lost in a maze of
forms. among whom he was born and
Drought up. His revolt earned him
hist sobriquet. But the Devils Dis
ciple, IT appears as the play proce eds,
Is not unlike the disciple of Christ
ne succors the defenseless. will not
permit actions which brings tears to
a child and offers his life for another
To the conventional il may be
rstner a shock to witness the attitude
or the DeviPs Disciple toward his own
mother But the mother is made to
lyplfy hatred, cruelty and envy, and
Shaw never hesitates to shock. if by
so doing he can point his argument.
The production Of 'The DEVILS Dis
eiple by Joseph M. Gates for the

as masterful to a degree, a kind of
fallen angel. who Ia yet not downed.
But all the honors by no means go
to Mr.. Sydney in the production of
this melodramatic comedy. C. H.
Crocker King, who plays the part of
Gen. Burgoyne-"Gentlem Johnny
makes much of this vehicle for
Shaw's thrusts at the military and at
an aristocracy whose religion is good
form. The trial scene in the third act,
when the DEVILS Disciple. a young
American patriot, is sentenced to be
hanged by a drumhead British court
martial, is a gem in itself. Others in
the company who added to the sue
cess Of the production were Arthur
Hughes as the minister. Florence
Auer as the mother, Jita Johann, Red
field Clarke. Erin O'Brfen Moore and
Romney Brent.
'The DEVILS Disciple is laid in an
American community in 1777, when
the British under Burgoyne and
Howe were endeavoring to stamp out
the revolution against the British
crown. While the play Is by no means
so widely known as others of Shaw, it
provides an entertainment regretfully
unusual.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLARENDON, Va, January BEN
jamin Fletcher, aged eleven, had three
fingers of one of his hands blown Off
and George II. Dawson, aged eight,
suffered serious injury to his left eye
yesterday afternoon as a result of an
explosion in a fire made by the boys
in a field in Lyon Village. Both were
taken to Georgetown University Hos
pital for treatment. A piece of copper
lodged in the eye of young Dawson.
Fear is felt that he will lose sight of
the eye.
The boys had been playing in the
field but short time when they made
fire from rubbish about a Toulouse
on the grounds. The explosive is be-
lieved to have been caused by a dyna-
mite fuse with cap attachment which
was mistaken by the boys to be
plain piece of rope. Charles Cults
was another member of the party, but
escaped injury.

Guild, new organization with a
cast of competent and experienced

act play up the Ladder" has made
it's bow during the first week OF the

The play is woven around the ef-
forts of a rich roue to win the wife
of young bond salesman and the
latter's successful defense OF his
home and his helpmeet.
Wilfred Lytell as the young hus-
band and Miss Peggy Coudray as the
wife head a competent cast that un-
folds the unpleasant story in it's high
est light. The play is well staged and
the performance gives promise Of ex-
cellent things to follow.
