Entertaining Reading
LIIcp n Kcnrcli en a wintry Sunilny

of the volume of. reminiscences which
AtigiiNtiis Themitx hnu written under the
title of "The Print of My Ilemem
brmires (Chnrlei Srrlbner'H Seiih).
Here In none of the Htlff formality of
the nverage autnblegruphy ; none of 'the
dldnctie phniHing of xe many wrltci'N
anil uuuljstH of the theatre or the
drama. I list end. we have u mcllnw
glow and a genial friendliness that leap
out of the lirst lew pugcM mid en
velop the lender, jemig or old, until
the final page.
Mr. ThemaH lias floated of the stage,
n h Hcen by him In his many capacities,
much as it Kcere of vrltcrn treated the
Londen of Char'cs IHckcnv. In fact,
the parallel Is brought out even mere
fttreugly by u statement which Mr.
Themas makes in one chapter te the
effect that "mjiiie day It will be us re
.spcctnblc te write historically of the
fine barrooms of that time (IMS!)) im It
was for Dickens In hK dny te write of
the taproom; find even new I must ven
ture semethlim. because te leave them
nut Is te attempt u portrait with the
face liulf covered."
Here, then, we have memories that
will warm the hearts of these who vis
ited Broadway in these days, who vis
ited thn various theatres (long since
given way te lefts and eflicc buildings)
mid who, If they were very lucky, may
have been present at memorable meet
ings in the Lambs' Club or nt one or
many rendezvous In the vicinity of Mad Mad
ieon or T'nlen Sipiarc.
Mr. Themas is qmillflpil te talk en
many phases of the theatre. Ah an au
thor he can tell scores of nnccdetcs in
connection with first-nights of his own
piny, of his relationships with some of
the best-Known actors or mis genera
tion and the cue before it, of curious
adventures and incidents that befell him
In box office, green room or manager's
tunctum.
As n friend of stage stars of the past
and nresent. he can tell, humorously
or dramatically, of tln l.i.n of their
struggling anil comparative poverty 'tnd
the succeeding ones of their success and
their affluence, lie docs It us lie would
tell the incidents te n group of old and
tiled friends before a fireplace. There
is no stiffness, no formality, no moral
Mug. , , ,
It must net be supposed, however,
that In his freedom eC style or in his
great knowledge of things thcntrlcal
Mr. Themas has written u book that
is tee technicnl or tee much "in

gees te the theatre occasionally and
as a special treat. "The Print of My

eemllnc interest. It rends through
out like n high-grade work of fiction,
full of the most fascinating person
lives, sprinkled with most laughable
stories and dramatic or serious, if the
case demands it.
Mr. Themas has reached the heart of
the theatre, a thing in Itself difficult,
and has shown that with all its sham

"GUILTY SOULS"
An Actable Play Written
Encourage Theatrical
Renaissance
te
"(Jiillly Seuls" (Hsrcetirt, lirace &
Ce.) is characterized by its publishers
as Vn play by a young English pett
which has n reused the admiration et
(irnnvllle Unrkcr and Ollbcrt Mur
ray."
That, together with n long and quota
tion ndernid preface, gives the'ptospec the'ptespec
live tender a imt eriencutis Itha et
"Utility Heiils." Ii that preface Hob Heb
ort Nichols, "fbe young EnglMi poet,'
becomes vny bltlngly sntiile. but tin
fortunately neglects te icmain inlelll
glhle. The result Is merely a succes
sion of words in capital lctteis whlci
net only fall te express with any clarity
the author's purpose in writing ''Guilty
HeiiIh" lie RflVM it's "because 1 earn
estly desire te de whnt I enn te aid the
renalssnnce of the Ilritlsh theatre, but
also I'liuse the render te believe 'he it
nlwttt te delve Inte some unusually com
plex mid momentous subject. '
On the ether hand. "Utility Rouls"
Is n rather thenlrlent nlnv. lacking any
deep Insight into human character, but
generally effective without being lit all
poetic. The atmosphere at the begin
ning closely parallels thnt of flaw
worthy's, "Justice." but falls te achieve
the dramatic tensity of thnt piny. The
plot concerns the casting of the blnmt
for a big theft en nn innocent man,
nud the final repentance of the guiltj
one. That's all a simple melodramatic
etery, embroidered with the usual Im Im
passiened scenes nnd containing the
conventional stage characters. We lip lip
ugine It would be quite effective en flic
stage certainly as much se as two
thirds of our inndei n plnjs but why
the author should cheese te Invoke
Kpictetus. Mozart, Ueethe. Gorden

The former book contains tiny dramas
for six months of the year, with such
titles as "The Tadpole Scheel." "The

The plays nre written In rhyme, the
familiar couplet being used. The chnr

fairies nnd impersonations of weather,
etc.) nre of n sort te interest very small
children and can readily be played by
The second volume, characterized n
"for boys nnd girls from ten te fif

prose, with such titles as "The Haven
Man." "Hurled Treasure." "The Three
Bears," "The Honorable Miss" and
"Kriss Krlngle Makes a Flight." Most
of the plays seem mere suitable te the
age of ten thnn that of fifteen, but thej
form nn acceptable addition te n much
needed collection of plays for juvenile
acting.
FLUFFY AND RISQUE
SAMPLE OF LATIN HUMOR
Comparisons frequently are inelghcil
against for various reasons, but
"Wanted n Wife" (Nicholas L. Drewn)
is interesting chiefly as an pppeitunltj
of comparing the methods of an Italian
humorist with the provokers of Ameri
can rlslbles. Alfrede Pnnzlnl ins i.
European reputation of high rank nnd
his story Is one of delightful flufflness
with a risque tang that may give It
some appeal. But neither in its bor
dering en the suggestive, nor its method
of light treatment of subject and situa
tion, can it be clnssed ns higher than
average nt least te American tastes.
Panzlnl has taken ns his elilrf char
acter u middle-aged, pursy Italian, who
thinks mere tliiin well of himself. Ills
adventures In seeking the right mate
for his declining years provide the titn
mnklng. Although written In an ex
ceedluglv light vein the book becomes n
bit laborious at times when the same
situations nre served up only thinly dis
guised. One after another woman falls
te come up te the exacting demands of
the would-be benedick nnd finally he
takes a typically European way out of
bis dilemma he takes a mistress in

A FINE PLAY
Jehn Galsworthy's "Loyalties'
Is a Splendid But Tragic
Tale
The nrt of Jehn Galsworthy, the
dramatist, seems te be expanding with
each fresh effort, probably te n far
greater extent thun that of Galsworthy,
the novelist.
The latest of his dramas te be pub
lished is "Lejaltles." (Charles Scrlb
ner's Sens) which has already been
played with great success in Londen,
nnd is new being shown in New Yerk.
In many ways the most actable, nnd
Hie most smoothly knit of nil bis plays.
''Loyalties" never gites the conscious
impression of being written te exploit
n theme or put across a doctrine. It
Is mere like the earlier and finer Plne Plne
re, mechanically and structurally near
ly perfect, full of geed, solid nnd sub
stantial dialogue, and fairly brimming
with interesting characterizations. It
1-n't until the hook Is laid aside and
second thought comes te the reader,
thnt the reul Importance and strength
of "Loyalties" is diplaed.
The theme, in general, is thnt of race
distinction, and It is handled In such n

THE CATHEDRAL
By Hugh Walpole
Auther of "Fortitude," "Tha Dark Fereat," "Jaramy"
MR. WALPOLE'S nw novel is a study of human power and
destiny in widening circles that extend by implication beyond
hia Pelchester, his county of Glebeshire, beyond England even.
Wherever there is a geed man spoiled by power, an unloved wife,
an uncurbed son, an understanding daughter, THE CATHEDRAL
will mean something mere than just an absorbing novel; it will
mean a new measure of experience and a deeper insight into the
human heart.

spirited and highly sensitive gentleman.
In contrast is Captain Dancy, of the
British army, an adventurer and sol
dier of fortune, beloved et bis set and
of his wire, but, wltli all nis nne i"
ly nnd fine traditions, weak in tn;
hour of temptation. The play Is built
around n theft of money from De Levis,
of which he accuses Dancy. The iat iat
ter's friends rally whole-heartedly te
his support despite some queer actions
en his part, nnd when he brings suit
against the Jew, there Is every evidence
of successful outcome for bltn, when
his own lawyer finds convincing proof,
net only of his guilt In rcgnrti te ine
money, but in respect te a woman with
whom he had bad illicit relations In the
past. The upshot Is Dancy's suicide,
although De Levis declares he will net
prosecute. . .
There is n splendid balancing of
characters In the personages of the
lawyer partners, ene a member of the
old school, the ether n young man; their
confronting views en the ethics of the
profession form n high point of the play.
Geed .loe are the characterizations or
Dancy's friends, Ilrlten te the heart,
nnd all of them secretly despising De
Lels for his accusation of their life
long friend Dnncy. Their acceptance of
the final dicWiMirc Is exceptionally
