vas, materials and a small wage, so
that they might paint history OF the
conflict no matter how 1t should end.
Thereupon an aggregate Of $50 artists,
many of them distinguished members
of the Beaux Arts, set to work. En-
gineers from the photographic bureaus
of Great Britain and France laid out
the landscape as the war developed,
and able artists gradually filled it in
as the weeks, months and years rolled
by Then France invited leaders of
nations, military officers, heroes and
heroines and those outstanding persons
who had won high honors for achieve
ment on the field of battle and in
front-line trenches to pose for their
likenesses when they were in Paris,
and thousands of them needed the
invitation. When the war ended the
largest and most dramatic canvas in
existence had been created.
Each of the "a nations banded to-
gether under the massed flags of the
Allies is represented in the foreground
through presentation of its leaders in
the War. The United States entered
the struggle when it was three-fourths
over, but the master artists at once
readiusted their dimensions and ac-

or worth while.
The recent new pieces, none Of which
survived cry long, included an attack
on Communism called Destruction,
full of satanic laughter, hand-clenching
and windy rhetoric, and a somewhat
more able-bodied opus by Frederick
Herendeen, known as 1.-The Web"
Mr. Herendeen's belief seemed to be
that the japanese were broodtng over
the small stature of their race, and he
showed two scientists, one Of them
japanese, experimenting with feeding
bugs raw meat and things in the Ever
glades Of Florida. They succeeded in
producing an elephantine spider, but
just as they were about to announce
their discovery some fugitive gunner
got into the laboratory and in the
melee that followed the superbug ran
amuck. He killed the two gangsters.
but when he started after the heroine
had to be killed himself with poison
gas.
The chronological phenomena were
sandwiched in with a love story which
was thought by some Of the first-night
audience to set a new ''low" for the
atrical romance. and to be a handicap
to the comparatively interesting efforts
of the demoa-spider. Mr.. Herendeen's
melodrama lasted for something like
week, which is rather long run for
new pieces in these Summer days.
