In fact, some prefer rending, be cntiso they don't have to go out of tlia house, nnd can bo euro of a. comfortable chair. The sentences' nnd paragraphs are short. The render la automatically guarded ngnlnfl na ture descriptions and mood atmljsps. And it Is usually the plnywrlght's ambition toimake something happen. Shaw', with characteristic perversity, con trives, aa usual, to defeat convention by-writing prose Introductions longer, and some times cleveicr, than the play itself. But theso the render averse to solid btudks or print may skip. Two of the recent mag azines print plays, one of thorn n Shaw play and one occasioned by the war. Marlon Craig Wentworth lias written a tragic otic-ftct play, "War Brides." Its grim sincerity should give pause to the war apol ogists. The text of the play Is a preas clip ping; Tho vvnr brides were cheered with wtthu siasni nnd the churches were crowded when the large wedding parties spoko the cere- mmy in concert. Scene: A loom in a peasant's cotuuge In n vyai-ridden country. Amelia, a glrtf of 19. Is telling her old mother that she wants to follow her four brothers to the frortt as a Red Cross nurse. The mother begs her to stay nt home nnd help enro for Hedwiff, who mnnled tho oldest brother Just before lis left for the front, nnd who Is to have n cflilld In sl months. Herr Hoffman, a younR lieu tenant, enters, and In n fnmlllar, overbenrlng manner tries to bully Amelia, into mnxrylnpr him. He Is to leavo for tho front In a day or two. Amelia, who barely knows lilm, Is shocked nnd repelled. Minna, a young wnr bride, enters, flushed with excitement, and describes the ceremony: Mlnnn There wero ten of us. We nil an swered In chorus. It wna fun Just like a theatre. Thou the priest made a speech, and tho burgomaster nnd tho captain. The peo ple oheered. and then our husbands had to go to drill for nn hour. Oh' 1 never was so thrilled' They told us we were tho true patriots. Lloutenant Hoffman Hurrah, and so you are. Minna Our names will go down In history honored by a whole nation, thoy said; (Thoy are all carried avvny by Minna's enthusiasm; even Amelia vvaims up ) Amelia Hut whom did you marry, Minna? Minna Relnrlch Berg. Amelia (dublou-0 That loafer' Minim I probably wouldn't have picked him out In pence times, but It Is different now. Ho only asked mo last night. Of course he may get killed. They said we'd have a widows' pension fund us nnd our children forever nnd ever. If the bos didn't como back. So j on see, t won't be out anything:. Anywny, It's for the count:. v. We'll be fa mous as war brides. Even the name sounds glorious! Hedvvlg enters and shows exttome contempt for the war brides, angrily denying that she Is one and explaining that sho and Franz were to have been man led anyway. Lieutenant Hoffman (to Hedwlg) r tell you It Is a glory to be a war bride. There' Hedwlg A bleeding machine. (They all draw back). Why not call It what It Is? Speak tho naked truth for once. Hoffman You'll take that bnck tomorrow when your sister stands up in tho church with me. Hedwlg (starting up) Amelia? Marry you? No. Amelia, Is this true? Amelia (hesitating) They tell me I must for tho Fatherland. Hedwlg Marry this man whom you srarcely know, whom surely you cannot love! Why, you make a mock of marriage. Hoffman (to Hedwlg) I command you to be silent, Hedwlfr Not when my sister's happiness Is at stake. If you como back she will have to Hvo with you the rcit of her life. Hoffman That Isn't the question now. We are going away the best of us to bo shot, most likely. Don't you suppose we want to send some part of ourselves Into the future since we cant live ourselves? There, thats straight, and right, too. Hedwlg Whut will happen to Amelia? Have you thought of tliat? No, I warrant you haven't. Well, look. A few kisses and sweet words, the excitement of tho ceie mony. the cheers of the crowd, some days of living together. I won't call It marriage. Then what? An older to march. Amelia left to wait for her child. No husband to wait with her. Think of her anxiety if she learns to love you Whnt Kind of child will It be? Look at me. What kind of child I would I have, do you think? f can hardly bieathe for thinking of my Franz, waiting, never knowing from minute to minute. From the way I feel, I should think my child would be born mad, I'm that wild with woirylng. And then for Amelia to go through the agony nlone. No husband to help her thiough the terrible hour. What solace can the state give then? And after that, If you don't come back, who Is going to earn the bread for her child? Struggle and struggle to feed her self and her child; and the Mne-soundJng name you trick us with war bride! Humph, that will all bo forgotten then! Only one thing' can tnako It worth while, and do you know what it is? Love. We'll struggle through fire und water for that but with out it Hoffman (drawing Amelia to him) Don't listen to her. Amelia. Amelia (pushing Hoffman violently from her, runs from the room) No, no. r can't marry you! 1 won't! I won't! (She shuts the door in his face.) Hoffman leaves, promising that he will re port Hedwlg to his captain for treason in Influencing; the girls not to marry. Shortly after the captain enters. Captain Hertz (to Hedwlg) I heard jou. I declare you under attest. Come with me. You will he shot for treason. Mother Don't do that, sir. Walt.

Great Catherine In Hernard Hhaw's play, "Great Catherine," he satirizes the famous 18th Century Em press of ltussla with his usual pitiless humor. During the play, Catherine, true to her am orous reputation, is Infatuated by a young English lieutenant, who has been sent over to report to her tho progress of the American Involution. The second act Is typical of the humor of the piece: Scene two The Empress' petit lever. The central doora are closed. On tho left, on a dais, a magnificent curtained bed.

Catherine turns over on her back nnd stretches. Catherine (yawning) Helgho-ah-yah-ah-ow. What o'clock is It? Naryshkln Half past ten, Little Mother. Catherine (sitting up nbrupty) Potztau end! (contemplating the kneeling courtiers). Oh, get up, get up. (All rise.) Your etiquette bores me. I am hardly awake In tho morn ing before It begins (yawning again and re . lapsing against her pillows). Why do they do it, Narshkln? Naryshkln God knows it Is not for your sake. Little Mother. Hut you see If you were not a great Queen they would all be nobodies. Catherine (sitting up) They make me do It to keep up their own little dignities. So? Naryshkln Exactly. Also, because if they didn't, you might have them flogged, dear Little Mother. Catherine (springing energetically out of bed and seating herself on the edge of it) Flogged! 1! A Ilherul Empress! A philos opher! You arc a barbarian, Naryshkln, (Sho rises and turn to tho courtiers.) And then us If I cared! (She walks about rest lessly.) No, what maddens me about all this etiquette Is that I ant the only person in ltussla who gets no fun out of my being Em press. You all glory in me, you bask In my smiles; you get titles and honors and favors from me, jou are dazzled by my crown and my robes: you feel splendid when you have been admitted to my presence, and when I say a gracious word to you, you talk about It to every one you meet for a week after word. But what do I get out of It? Nothing. Nobody glcs me anything. "When I have headaches and colics I envy the scullery maids. And you ore not a bit grateful to me for all my care of ou. inv work, my thought, my fatigue, my sufferings. The Princess God knows, Little Mother, we all Implore you to give your wonderful brain a rest. That Is why you got headaches. Monsieur Voltaire also has headaches. His bialn is just like yours. Catherine Dashkoff, what a liar you are. (Dashkoff curtesies.) And you think you are flattering me Lot me tell you I would not give a ruble to have tho brains of all the philosophers In France.
