Barrymore Wins
Triumph in London
With His ''Hanlet''
Gallery and Stalls Call
american Actor Back
Again and 4 gain.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 20.-A distin
gushed London irst-night audience
never proclaimed for warm h earted
ness-gave John Barrymore, the
American actor, a generous reception
when he appeared last night in the
role of Hamlet, in which only a few
British actors have scored triumphs
within a generation. 1t was so gen
erous that Mr.. Barrymore faltered
when he appeared for a curtain call
after the third act and confessed that
he had faced his English debut with
almost terror, but no longer felt
afraid.
The play was staged in the old
Haymarket. where his father, the
famous Maurice Barrymore, played
SO years ago.
The gallery, which can make or
break a play in England, was the
first to respond, and the stalls also
applauded literally with handicap
ping and shouts, bringing the Amer
lean before the curtain many times.
The dramatic critics of the London
morning papers, although objecting
to some details of Mr. Barrymore 8
performance, comment on the whole
very favorably. They dislike some of
his mannerisms, disapprove of the
way ne cuts up certain lines and dis
cover curious inequalities in his con-
ception of the character of Hamlet.
But, having pointed out these, all
finish on note of high praise. The
following are among the eulogistic
phrases employed by the critics:
He not only made a personal
triumph, but has given London one
of the best performances of Hamlet"
He came out with honors. He
showed power and passion, and. al
though his Interpretation had tech
nical faults, it gripped and held"
The poets wonderful verse could
not have been delivered with finer
intelligence or more charming music.
The performance was often thrilling,
always intellectual. He made Ham
let a real personality"
Many of the critics extol Mr.. Barry
more's clear, pleasant voice and free
dom from any accent, whether Amer
lean, oxford or Kensington.

OFFICER RODE SHIP
DURING BOMB TEST
Rear Admiral Hughes Says
Vessels Can Be Built to Re-
siSt Aerial Attacks.

When two of the 1000 pound bomb
explosion tests were made against the
hull of the battleship Washington off
the Virginia capes recently. it was
disclosed today. Rear Admiral Charlie g
F. Hughes, head Of the Navay Testing
Board. and a colleague were on the
after deck of the vessel.
Admiral Hughes apparently did not
regard this fact as worth mentioning
In his report. 1t gave him irst-hand
information, however, on which to
base the conclusion in that report
that the only injury to personnel
from the five bomb explosions con-
Quoted against the Washington would
have been the possibility that someone
might have been washed overheard
by water thrown on the ships decks
by the blast.
Fan to EKtinEuish Candles.
Describing his sensations to brother
officers, Admiral Hughes said the
1urch given by the hull at each ex-
pl osion was about the same in his
judgment as that produced in such a
ship by the firing OF a big gun salvo
from her decks. His report shows
that candles placed in the forward
and after compartments of the hull.

After each explosion Admiral
Hughes and other members of the
test board made their way down into
the hull to examine personally the
damage done to the frames, bulk
heads and other construction OF the
interior of the ship. They even pene-
trsted into the double bottoms in
search of information.
Only Loose Bricks Disturbed.

the ships furnaces was thrown
down by the cumulative effects of
the explosions, but that portion OF
the brickwork which had been per-
manently secured remained in place.

she broke yesterday with a sip of

after she discovered that during last
night a crew employed by the oil
magnate had stripped her apartment

some dishes and her clothing, and

gathered daily outside the Budlong

shirts with notes attached had been
thrown to the street before he had his
belongings removed from the apart

ion of the onlookers, cost as much as

While most of the tenants in the
apartment house building. which is in
an exclusive district, have taken the
situation in good humor, at least one
complaint has been made. The agents

that Mrs Rudlong throws no more
articles from the windows. The
agents consider that her notes have
been largely responsible for the

which film fans the world over are
familiar.

satire on humanity, his symbol of the

Chaplin said
MY inspiration came from the

he sought to prevent the imitation
''of my complete characterization"

When a Tailor Made the Man

There used to be a southern born
colonel of one of the negro regiments
of the United States army whose first
name was James. He was small,
dapper man, very dignified and very
much aware of the Importance of the
position he filled. He was a great be-
lever in athletics and he organized
three baseball teams among members
of his battalions and started a series
of games for the regimental champion
ship.
One afternoon two of the clubs were
playing an important game of the
series. The commander, watching
from the side line, thought the rivals
were not showing sufficient spirit, con-
sidering that the score was so close
and the championship at stake. He
decided to show both outfits that GIN
ger was requisite. He yanked off his
service coat, grabbed a bat and de-
clared himself into the game.
"Now, then," he stated, as he adj
vanced to the plate, "for just so long
as I've got no shoulder straps on L
want you men to treat me as If 1 were
one of you. I'm not your colonel-Pm
a player. Let's go!"
The pitcher sped the ball across the
plate and the colonel cracked out a
three-bagger. He tried to stretch it
into homer. AS he turned third base
on the dead run the cOacher for his
side opened up:
Run, you pore liz sawedoff, pop
eyed. bow-legged, homely white runt !
RUM" he shouted. "Now slide old
Jimboy, dadgum you-SLIDE!"
The colonel slid and got there. Then
he went over and put his coat on.
