ABOUT TWO NRW PLAYS
It H ftlmoit nn easy to read a play ajv to
seo one. 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. Oh, no,

the baby things In her hands, cross the room,
pressing a little sock to her lips.)
Hedwlg You may rend the message out
loud, (She disappears Into Inner room.)
Hertz (reading) "A message to the Km
peror. I ipfnse to hear my child until vtu
promise thero will be no more war." (A shot
Is fired In the bedroom. They rush Into the
loom. The mother stands tiembllng at the
table.)

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. The court
m in attendance, standing In two melancholy
rows, down the Bldo of the room opposite
the bod, solemn, bored, waiting for the Em
press to awaken. The Princess DaahkofT
elands a llttln in fiont of tho courtiers. A
loud yawn Is heard from behind tho curtains.
aryshkln. the chamberlain (holding up a
warning hand) S-sh!
Tho courtiers hastily cease whispering.
Cress up their lines and stiffen. A bell tinkles
within the curtains. Naryshkln and the
Princess solemnly draw them and reveal the
impress. 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.
