Looking at
Plays on
Broadway
New. Season Does Not Get
Promising Start in
New York.
BY FRANK LEA SHORT
NrA S..,l.o VUrftar

NEA OCENACO uAAsCA
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Time was
when October was considered the
proper month for the beginning of
the theatrical season. Step by step
New York's opening nights were set
back into September, and still more
recently into August. AS q rule,
however, the August productions are
made by the less cautious among
the managers, with the result that
a majority of the seasons First
crop" of plays usually falls by the
wayside.
New York's weather conditions
during the month of August added
to the problem, and although the
weather bureaus reporting the
coolest local August ever recorded,
together with the steady downpour
of rain, may not have actually af~
fected the quality of several at
fractions offered, truth compels us
to state that some of them have
given the impression that they
have been SO inf1uenced-not
quite widowed, perhaps, but at
least very, very damp.
What promised to be a very in
teresting event was the opening
night of Rosalie Stewards first re-
vue entitled "a La Carte" 1t was
anticipated that George Kelly and
Miss Stewart-author and producer
of 1.-The Torchbearers," "The Show
Off" and "Craig's Wife"-would
have something unusual and fine to
say in terms of the revue. 1t turned
out to be a number of not too we'll
chosen acts from vaudeville, strung
together and transplanted into
some agreeable settings designed by
Livingston Platt There is, however,
some excellent dancing.
Blood Money" at the Hudson
Theater is good entertainment for
those who like that sort 1t has a
little more sense to it than its pred
ecessors, 1.-THE Bat" 1.-THE Cat and
the Canary" Whispering Wires"
and tie others, but it is in that
general class.
"Her First Affairs" at the Bayes
Theater, with Aline MacMahon in
the leading role, is the most ear
nest of the recent Gustav Blum pres
entations. The subject matter of
of the present day fapper in delv-
ing into what she thinks is new
(and, consequently her own dis
covery of "the mystery of life. "
There is a good deal of wise and
profound discussion of the subject
of sex, >just as though that subject
were among the seasons novelties
and never heard Of before. >>
Tenth Avenue" IS crook play
with the capable William Boyd (who
gave that unforgettable perform
ance of the hard-boiled top sergeant
in What Price Glory?") in the
leading role. Although the play it
self is not out of the ordinary, the
comedy and dramatic situations are
so we'll balanced and so well acted
that Tenth Ave. offers very pleas
ant evenings entertainment.

descends from an airplane to earth
as a passenger on a parachute.
Approaching Monty the stranger
informed him that he had picked
up'T three parachutes, just as good
as new, any one of which he would
sell the Banks company at low
price.
"And Mr.. Banks" the worlds
champion salesman concluded his
grafton to Monty, ST guarantee
these parachutes. If one happens
to be no good and you don't land all
right, I'll gladly give you another

Artist Describes
War in China

SAN JOSE, Calf, June 25.--
The Chinese, originators of gun.
powder, are actively demonstrating
their product these days, according
to Mrs. w. A. Dunn, artist and IL
illustrator, who has returned 10 Cal
ifornia after eleven years in the
Orient.
''For II years our life in the
Orient had been absolutely ideal,
but with the first storming of
Shanghai by the northern troops
chaos reigned and we were thank
full to leave the country" said Mrs.
Dunn.
Indeed, it is no disgrace to find
it hard to understand the Chinese
revolution. Even we who had been
residing there for years couldn t
keep track of affairs. There is
absolutely no plan OF order. 1t is
all a farce, with the actors dashing
blithely changed from one side to
another.
"Whcn the trouble began we
had no conception of what was to
ensue. The northerncrs, or Canton
ese, stormed the southern forces
near the American legation. The
British threw up barbed wire and
sand bag barbados and had it not
been tor the speedy work of these
soldiers the legation and the Brit
ish concession would have been in
vaded. At once northern sympa-
thizers in every district hoistcd
their flags. In the concessions or
der was maintained, but outside
horror held forth.
The northerners reveled in de-
capitating every person who could
possibly be suspected of southern
sympathies, and the heads of the
dead gaped everywhere from the
tops OF poles BONE through the
ST. eets.
Mrs. Dunn is skeptical of China S
future.
~ believe monarchy is the
only government suited to the peo-
pie, she SAID. - The people have
made no progress in civilized hv-
ing despite tine efforts of foreign
ers to teach them new methods. Uld
Shanghai, adjacent to the sanitary,
improved foreign concession has
learned nothing from them, but is
as unsanitary and uncivillzed as it
was 200 wears ago.
