War and the English Actors
Over in England the wnr has thrown
thousands of Belgian refugees Into a
"Miat market already too full of compe
j iltlfan for the satisfaction of anybody but
Kn employer. 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. Rob

Many of the actors still In England are
trying to do what they can there. Mar

others, has Joined the United Arts Force

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."

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.
Philip Qreejey Clapp. writing In the
Boston Transcript, sketches the life of

to 'be fond of tennis and photography.
The Insistence upon Kopartt as the

a position generally given to the director
of the Schola Carttoruro Is enough to
make one suspicious. When Itoman Hol

ODDS AND ENDS.
Charles C. Brandt, one of tho well
known Luuln players, received tho fol
lowing letter from a woman In New
England:
Having seen your picture on a LuMn clo
ture I tiko the liberty of writing My.hV?'
band'a name Is Trltr William I, Brandt. He
wns brought up In Bremen. Germany, ana
had a number of brothers nnd two sisters. If
jou nro a brother or relative, why don't you
go and fight for the fatherland Instead of
acting In pictures? All the Brandts should bo
nt tho front, for duty calls them Pleaso write
and explain
After rending this, Mr. Brandt found
a nulU corner In tho studio and wroto
tho following reply:
Dear Mrs Brandt ....
1 am neither brother rolatlvo or acquaintance,
but the error Is nit mine. My great grand-
fither arrived in wis country aDtmi ion,
but please understand I am not a grandson of
Joefh Urandt, tho Indian Chief, whoso pic
ture hnnga In Independcnco Hall Ho belongs
to another branch of the family , Tho only
front I'm Interested in at present Is the front
lln before a motion picture camera nnd my
gothlc style of flguro Is much more suited to
nctlng than fighting. I'm sorry I cannot
accomodate you, but, frankly, heavy artillery
always gives mo a sovere headache and makos
me very nervous.
So Insistent havo been tho calls from
exhibitors of motion pictures that Ethel
Grandln, who Is appearing in Grandln
films In the United Film Service, has de
cided to make personal nppearanccs In
many of tho theatres in and around Now
York city, where' she will do impersonal
tions of popular actresses for her audi
ence "Bobble" Bolder, while hunting Just
outside of the Chicago limits, Bhot a hugo
golden eagle, whlbh strayed to this sec

able manner. It measure nine feet from
tip to tip of tho wings. The bird was
only wounded nnd "Bobble" mended Its
wing and put it In the Esaanay aviary.
Unpleasant as tho subject Is, neverthe
less it is worthy of note that a member
of Thomas II. Ince's camera staff suc
ceeded last week In filming for the Mu
tual program the actual-death of an avi
ator. Tho flying man s name was Thos.

of 3000 feet and was In the act of loop

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.
"That's right; work up tho Injured look.
But the martyr stuff doesn't go with me,
Sally. I've got eyes and rve been using
them. He boos at tho end of his week,
and that's all there Is to It. He's got
tho child running around after him as
if he and not I was the father."
"That's because he Is always kind to
her and never strikes her unjustly, as
you dp."

BY HAROLD MacGRATH
"Hasn't a man got a right to correct
his own offsurlhg, I'd like (o know?"
"If she gets In your way you box her
ears. If she does not come Instantly
when you call her yen s0 l,,B ,wr;lp
Can yeu blSmo the child for not loving
you as you expect?" . ,
For herself sho did not care. She had
no Illusions left! but wnero her child
wao concerned she was omethlntf of a
lioness. She did not want the airy Ule
beliefs knocked ot)t of the UtUe ones
hehd before her time. .i-
Stop sniveling. The man's coming.
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. And some
times I hate youl"
Ho caught hor by the shoulder and
swung her out of tho chair and raised his
arm.
"Hore, here, MoWlnterl" cried a volco
from tho doorway. "None of that while
I am In tho houso You ought to bo
nnhnmeil nf vourselft"
"This Is my woman. I'll strike her If
I wnnt to."
"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. But he's an Indian
when he's boozed up. They say at the
laboratory that they'd be glad to give
