T)LAYS that dealt with the great war sentimentally, melodramatically, temporarily, have been many. Those that treated it spiritually and dramat ically have been so few that one greets with nrtistie gratification "The Genius of the Marne," the somewhat mechan ically named piece written by a former Philadelphia newspaper man. John L. Balderston. and published in New York by Nicholas L. Brown, also a former Philadelphian. The drama, in three short scenes, is both the "symbol and synthesis" that George Moore claims it is in his pref ace. But it is aKo crisply intelligent in its handling of character and emi nently piayame. Genre actors wishing to take a flier I in vaudeville might look further and I fare much worse in their ipiest for ve hicles. JofTre is an acting part "fat" with opportunities. Its quaint satirical implications, its humanity, are not too refined for footlight treatment. According to Mr. Balderston. the np- i parition of Napoleon visited the ex-' hausted nnd inwardly bewildered gen eral, bcolded him roundly for his inde cision and dictated the first battle of i the Marne.

Whilr not generally known, the plays in winch Mr. Hodge has appeared 'since the memorable "The Man From Home," the Booth Tarkington comedy which served as his vehicle for five sea sons, have been written either in whole or in part by the actor. They were "The Itoad to Happiness," "Fixing Sister" I and "A Cure for Curables."
