There were unmistakable signs of a theatrical renaissance in Brooklyn around tho Majestic Theater last night, where the combination of a splendid play, admirably acted before a large, and enthusiastic audience, brought about a semblance of those conditions that must have prevailed In the good old days the younger generation of local theatergoers has heard nbout, when Brooklyn was a distinct theat- Bayard Veiller's absorbing melodrama, "The 13th Chair," was the play, and it was made one of the most satisfying offerings of recent seasons by the splendid acting of a cast that Included Margaret Wychtrly, whose performance in the chief role of her husband's play has justly been hailed as one of the finest of recent achievements. It is lmpor- for theatergoers to know some thing of playwrights as well as of players, for plays don't write themselves and actors cannot make dramatic bread without the proper theatrical ingredients, properly mixed. "The 13th Chair" differs from hundreds of plays of the same general oniony in the writing. It Is then effective by the skill and Ida vu right who knows s.

BOND Today jonavian Sneers at Soldiering I Open Insults to Men Who Wear the Khaki. George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man," played by the Clifford Devereux company this week at the Montauk, was a side-tickling travesty of war when it was written more than twenty years ago. It was acceptable for time after that; 'but with America at war herself with nian irooKiynites over seas and thousands more in mobilization and training camps, and before an audience sprinkled with the uniforms of the case last night, it could scarcely inn thing an offense.

The line, ''Remember nine soldiers out of ten aro born fools," meant nothing to this Country when there were no sons or brothers under arms; but it strikes home a graceless ef- hMS ,0 war.
