National" Rain"

"Rain"-not 'the gentle rain from
heaven" but the pitiless, drenchinE.
never-ending. nerve tracking rain OF
the South Sea islands, symbolizing
not mercy. but cruelty-such is
Rain" which for some years thrill
cd, amused. depressed, but above AL
interested an ever-changing throng
in New York, and for which Wash
ington audiences have waited with
what patience they could until 1t
opened last night at the National
Theater for a weeks run.
Miss Jeanne Eagles Sadie Thomp-
son has been burlesqued, even imi-
tated, in a measure, in parts of like
character. But the Sadie Thompson
of Miss Eagels is a creation not easily
to be forgotten. She is the fam
boyant, the Haunting. armed against
all mankind, but with an allure for
men that even breaks down the bar
riers which the Rev. Alfred Davidson,
missionary. has built about himself.
Rain" whose theme was taken
from Miss Thompson" a short story
by w. Somerset Vaughan, is a blend
of the psych illogical and physiologi-
cal. 1t tells the tale of a. soul that
is raised--if only for a brief interval
to mountain tops. 1t tells the story
of body that answers call OF ma
ture, long repressed.
1t may be there are missionaries in
the world like the Rev. Alfred David
son. preaching the gospel by means
of kind of tyranny, possible in the
primitive conditions existing in the
islands of the South Seas, making of
God "a cop" as Sadie pictures him.
Hypocrisy and cant are not confined
to clergymen and missionaries. But
as eXemplified in the Rev Alfred
Davidson, they give the cloth an evil
name.
The author of Rain" John Cotton
and Clemence Randolph, have magni-
fled and enlarged the story of Somer-
set Vaughan into d three-act play
that hangs together with remarkable
consistency. There is no anticlimax,
no tagging of interest. There are
moments Of comedy, many of them,
but throughout is a pervading sense
of evil and impending tragedy. The
producer, Sam H. Harris, and stage
manager, John u. Williams, have
made use of rain-actual watery, wet

nate the Souht Sea Islands San
Francisco is the one place in the
world which Sadie fears. A return
means the penitentiary for her. She
defles the Rev. Davidson. He has in
fluence, as, a missionary and compels
the governor of the island to order
her deportation. IT is than that
Sadie's conversion begins. in spite of
her. 1t gives her a kind of exalta-
ton, though 1t does not make, her
happy. AS she turns her eyes up
ward through the prayers of the mis-
sionary, he loses control of himself
in a mad passion. The denouement is
tragic. "All men are pigs!" Sadie
screams.
The play abounds in pungent lines,
some epigra ammatic. 1t is q strange
doctrine the missionary preaches-as
cruel the missionary of bygone
days. His description of how he
creates the impression OF wrongdo-
ing among the natives, so that they
will know when they are SHINING, is
naive in the extreme.
Take 1t all in all, Rain" is one of
the most interesting plays that have
come to the National Capital in many
day. 1t is one of the smoothest-
running dramatic engines, with all
rough corners worn fiat, the actors
fitting into their particular grooves
the perfect performance which comes
with practice.

Efforts to Eliminate Whistles.
The Department of Commerce is
doing all in its power to eliminate the
disturbing heterodyne whistles due to
some stations operating on freQuencies
which interact to produce an audible
beat note. When two stations, espe-
cially those of high power. are operat-
ing on frequencies closer than 10 kika:
cycles apart, the heterodyne action
produces a beat note in a receiver.
This type of beat note can be distin-

lation in a receiver by the fact that
