Over hero In America the English actor Is doing; about the same thing for Ihe theatrical labor market. He S here by the pcoro, wth stars of his own race and American productions. A whole musical comedy which In the ordinary course pf events would have been pro duced at Daly's In London this winter has been brought to America for Its premiere. A g-ood many players are protesting at this flood of competition. And while the ftwtnnftei-llke B'rer Fox "lay low and ain't sayln nothln'," some of the English actors are defending themselves. W. Graham Browne, now touring with itarle Tempest, has written to an actors' club In answer to the complaints voiced there that Ihe English players, deprived ef an nudlenco at home, had shirked the defense, of their country to come and take the bread from American mouths. lit. Browno makes tho excellent point that tho call for tho first million volun teers wna for men under 33 and unmar ried, For the rest ho depends mainly on thf argument that If the English actor went off "gaily" to war he would leavo a penniless wlfo and family to f starvation behind him. Ho doesn't ob serve that mqn have dono as much for what they Imagined was the need of thcli country; ho doesn't remark tho still bit terer fact that many men In England have pone to war to escape that starva tlon. But he does state tho plain, human, unavoidable facts of tho case In the ques tion! "There aro literally thousands of actors out of work, and If they turn to America for a chance of livelihood Is It to fce wondered nt?" Hcadilly at tho Front There are some English actors at tht front, if not In very great numbers. Against the "literally thousands" of Mr. Browne's players that Mr. Browne es timates aro out of work, the London Era reckons that there aro 450, Including vnUdevIUo performers, at the front.

Sotash and Perlmutter In England Produced In London some time ago, "Potash and Perlmutter" lias reached the provinces, where the Manchester Guar dian writes of It: k "Tlie entlro gamut of small advantages, niggling economics and petty astutenessei Is run through. Little hero of tho Imagina tion and grasp that makes the Colossus. One left the theatre last night with a sense of the pathos of small successes, with one's mind harking back to a Jewish Samuel Smiles, a Jehlffh Doctor Watts and swarms of Infinitely Jewish and In finitely Indefatigable bees. "Of plot thcro Is very little, and we do not? propose to detail It here. Sufficient to suy'that the play Is a good deal more than a comody of genial ruso and light-hearted chicane, of an .extraordinary deft and Bup'ple with expressed In an Intensely ex hilarated idiom of the extreme of Jewish unction. Both of these mon havo eyes ' and ears. In tho old Jew's phrase, ns Other men have, only they use them for tho enjoying of life with a greater zest and a completed gusto than their more phlegmatto brethren. There Is something of the artist In them. "They are at heart great gentlemen ,; or, at least, the auction market and the salesroom contain none greater. The play Jjs instinct with all that loyalty to their own people, that Innato'-sense of home and family, that lovo of morality and honor and Btraight dealing which are BO characteristically and tremendously Jewish." Douglas Fairbanks as a Bad Actor The New York critics have vindicated MUSIC i The Itopartz symphony In C major, which will bo played tonight by the Bos ton Symphony Orchestra, was first played In jthls country by that organization at one of Its regular concerts In Boston. It was later played In New Tork, It would seern, that the Boston audience heard It with reserved gratification; It Is plain that the Now York critics heard It without any great degree of pleasure. In the orchestral score the critic of the Boston Tanscript found the Influence of .Cesar Franck In Imagination, with the added resources and technical devices of later French music. The symphony Is played without stop, but it Is not overlong. Its complexities are not great enough to de mand solutions la advance, but he com poser himself Is so little known that a few things may be said of htm without prejudice to the freshness of tonight's performance.

Ho Is said to 'be fond of tennis and photography. The Insistence upon Kopartt as the pr.miL aiI greatest dtsdple of Franck a position generally given to the director of the Schola Carttoruro Is enough to make one suspicious.

EPISODE VI. THE CASE OF THE M'WINTBIl FAMILT. IN a room In an ordinary dwelling; a woinan ent before a sowing: machine, Tho low hum of It filled the room with a murmur like that of many bets. The woman's husband, seated at a table near by, wns reading and smoking, and ho looked up obsently each tlmo tha hum ming ceased temporarily. Ho scowled, shifted and reshlfted his pipe. "Are you crying agaln7" he growled, laying down the paper. "I'm getting tired of your constant snivel-snivel." He rose and walked over towards her threat eningly. He shook a finger under her nose. "That man has got to get out of this houso, or I'll know the reason why. He bothers mo every tlmo I look at him. I tell you he's got to soek another board ing house. I don't want his hang-dos faco around any longer." "Hang-dog!" sho protested. "That's wjiat I said! There'll be a rum pus If ha doesn't hike." "You nro wrong; you aro wickedly wrong," said tho wlfo. Sha wiped her eyes on her apron. "Just because he speaks kindly to mo and pets tho child you act liko an insano man. I've slaved for you; I'vo dono everything a woman could. "What do you do? You sit and read all day." "That's a lie!" tho man roared. "I'm not an ordinary workman, nnd there's very little demand for my work." "So I'vo noticed," dryly. ''I don't want any back talk. All I say Is, that man Smith has got to get out. I won't have him on tho premises after his week is up." The tears began to run down the wom an's cheeks again. "You wero a different sort of a man before you took to drink." "Your whining ,'d send any1 man to drink. But you two are always whisper ing, and when I show up you break apart and begin to talk of the weather. Maybe you think I'm a fool?" "John McWlnterl" Bho cried, with pas sionate indignation.

It'd bo Just llko you to play the beaten wife when ho conies In, Pethapa It wouldn't be a bad Idea to frfvo you a whack once In a while. Then maybe you'd have something to snivel about. I Tho man who was the jnnocent cause Jof this conjugal arraignment came , his laboring man's lunch basket under his arm. His expression was that of n man who had done his work that day faithfully nnd welcomed the coming of evening. Ho nodded plcasantty. Ho saw the red eyes of the woman, squared his shoulders for a moment nnd passed on. "Humph! I notice that you don't snivel while he's looking at you." "How can you talk to me like that?" "I'll talk to you as I please!" "You ore always In tho houso Tou aro watching ovory move I make, as If I wasn't a good woman. When I married you I loved you. Tou were an analytical chemist iwho every ono sold would make a marKt in tno worm, uui onn nan thrown y6u on the reefs.

"Oh, will you7" Tho boarder sprang forward and caught tho upraised arm, giving It no gentlo wrench as ho boro down upon It. That was enough for McWlnter. With a snarl like a wolf, ho closed In. Almost In stantly hla back met tho floor with a resounding thump., "Don't, don'tl" pleaded tho wlfo. "It will only make matters worse. You can't help me. Mr. Smith. Please got" "All right, Mrs. McWlnter. nut I haven't any use for a wlfo beater." "You'll leavo this houso Saturday," said McWlnter, picking himself up slowly, "Saturday night, and then you and your trunk for tho sidewalk. I'vo stood all I'm going to stand. Maybe you think I'm a fool, but I know what I know." Tho beaten man clunk out of tho house, cursing under his breath. He realized that he would never get any satisfaction out of Smith In a game of fisticuffs. Tho latter was too strong for him. Ho'd get him whero he wantod him soma day. And that day wasn't going to bo far off, cither. Ho did not come homo- until midnight. Ho grinned drunkenly In the mirror as ho yanked off his tie and collar. He wasn't a chemist for nothing; Smith would see. McWlnter was a madman, and nobody suspected this fact. Tho next morning ho remained In bed with a splitting headache. As Smith started out for his day's work ho caught up the child and swung her aloft. She gurgled with happiness. Then ho kissed her and sat her down. "I'm going to bring out that stick of candy tonight." "Goody, goody! Can I eat It, mamma?" "Yes, dear." To the man sho said: "How Jong! How longl" "Keep a stiff upper lip, Sally. We'll straighten out this muddle in time. It looks to mo llko McWlnter Isn't qulto right In his upper story. If wo could get him away from his whisky thero might bo a chance.
