And if we use these two weapons we can prevent the next war." TO picture the Hudson ai it is seen from the former Dula Estate at Tarrytown requires the pen of the poet or the brush of the artist. It is a view of such majestic beauty that on seeing it one begins to realize why the well-to-do families who have taken up the best points of vantage on the hills above the river, cling to them so tenaciously. Such locations are scarce indeed, making the sale of the former Dula Estate an event of uncommon opportunity.

Because of her father and mother, says Kathleen Norris, tine of the well-known writers of the day. In a lecture delivered yesterday before the Brooklyn Woman's Club, at 114 Plerrepont Mrs. Norris placed the blame for the "rather bad way In which our little girls are finding themselves" on the fathers and mothers, who ave failed to realize the terrific responsibility for the moral welfare of their children.

"We are facing a tremendous social crisis today," said Mrs. Norris, "one that is fully as Important as the national crisis of 1776. American girlhood has fallen somewhat Into disrepute. Our girls go too far. They are throwing away priceless things whose worth they do not realize." Mrs.

Norris believes that there are two things that will help stem what she calls "the tide of reckless pleasure" community clubs and early marriage. "Wouldn't It be safer to marry early, rather than wait until tho when one becomes analytical?" she asked. "Marriage Is the natural thing and' very often the safe thing. Boys and girls can have a bettor time Inside their home than out. Jt Is the selfishness of the parents that sends them of their home -for pleasure." Has Two Plans to End War.

Turning to the means of preventing war, Mrs. Norris suggested two "sure-fire" methods which, If used by women as soon as talk and propaganda begins, will prevent war. "Before we go to war with any nation," she said, "let us place a commercial embargo on the nation conceded to be In the wrong. This hat. never been- tried before and would surely be effective.

"Before we put a youth Into khaki, working up to a furious and lathery climax in which love, long and painfully denied, becomes requited and thrives there is the tonlcky atmosphere of sap spruce and pine. It is the law of the movies and James Oliver Curwood. The Cinema Circuit GALLERY OF NICHOLSON FILE USERS No. The Farmer USA. ARTHUR Lonsdale's Latest Comedy, "The Polished Merriment and a Trite rUEDERICK LONSDALE is ono of those wise Englishmen who, being not unaware of the fact that he is witty, knows Hint wit will cany hhn a Ions way- Ho can even write a crook play in the year 191'6 and manage to prove amusing.

"The Last of Mrs. Cheyney," his latest comedy to come to New York (It arrived at the Kulton Theater last eve. Is, so far as plot Is concerned, one of those limp and banal crook contrivances in which a beautiful you if (rlrl sets out to steal the pearls and Is no lovable that she finds It necessary In the last act to reform and to marry the hero. It. has been done a score of times on this side of the Atlantic, less often perhaps on the other, which fact may perhaps permit Mr.

Ixnsdale to appear more orlslnal to nls countrymen than to his American admirers. His plot, then, is trivial and silly even sentimental. Hut the nicest thing that can be said of him is that he persuades you to tsnore It. "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney" Is impudent, unconventional, jaunty, full of wit sharp and suave.

Mr. Lonsdale la the brightest of contemporary dramatists writing In English, as keen as a March wind. You will bear no neater or more brilliant dialogue in the theaters of Hroadwny today than may be heard at the Fulton. This new comedy of his Is not so well balanced a thing tin his "Aren't We All?" and less sensational than "Spring Cleaning," but being wordier it Is at the same time wittier. Lonsdale this time has given most of his attention to playing with phrases, giving birth to Innumerable bright ones.

Ina Claire Is the delightful youna crook this time and since in the last two seasons she has learned to act, giving over the business of Impersonating merely she made a delight "Leave It to Me" Proves Lively Entertainment At Majestic Theater Very effectively did Eddie Buzzell, recent vaudevilllan, stage another return to musical comedy last night at the Majestic. In Bufus LeMalre's production, "Leave It to Me," the little comedian, assisted by his co-featured player, Mary Milburn, made such an entertaining evening for the audience out of a comedy with music, that It may well prove as successful as his previous effort, "The Gingham Girl." "Leave It to Me" hasn't a plot to go Into ecstasies over In the first act, but It has clever principals and one of the prettiest and most talented choruses that has been seen In Brooklyn this season. Kddle Buzzell is cast as a hopelessly 111 millionaire, who happens in upon an intended marriage, postponed because of lack of funds. Involved in the marriage as the bridegroom, on condition that he die within a month, ho falls In love with bis wife and then goes on a trip. The bride is Mary Milburn.

and her Intended spouse was Charles Lawrence, a bungling lover who, every time he opened his mouth put both feet In It. A couple of disagreeing doctors furnish good comedy over 'ne complaints of Eddie Buzzell. ii net Stone and James Hamilton dance and sing, as another puir of prospective newlyweds should, in a musical comedy. The dialogue in the first act is fiat and hackneyed, but song numbers composed by Walter Donaldson and Ballard Mar danced and sung to by principals and the misses of the chorus, pull the act neatly out of the frying pan. The second act finds the comedy pepped up, the principals on firm footing with the audience, a snappy Jazz orchestra Eddie Dillon's Dixie Footwarmers doing Its stuff very very well, and an opening setting depleting a Bohemian inn that de-nerves commendation.

In thin act the plot finds Itself and many clever situations are a result. Eddie the husband, returns from the trip, freed from all Illness, after he has been thought extinct. In returning to life he also brings to life the semblance of the plot that had run incoherently through tho first act. Gordon and King, Hoss A. "King and Eddie Buzzell are the steppers among the men.

They dance speedily and prove a bit. Miss Milburn elngs in a voice pleasant to listen to and dances gracefully, making a charming heroine. The work of Janet Stone and James Hamilton, Hinging and dancing, the comedy of Richard Lee and Frank Dobson. doctors; Josephine Intropldl. mother-ln-law; Charles Lawrence, the bungling lover; Lester Dore, hilarious detective; Wllmer Bentley, valet, and Lou Edwards calls for honorable mention.

This Is a musical version by Harry B. Smith of the old farce, "Never Pay Die." The music is by Walter Donaldson. "What Price Glory" Seen At Teller's Shubert 'What IVlco Glory," the play-that depicts war as It Is and not as It la romantically pictured, came to Teller's Shubert Theater last night with Its gruesome scenes, sordid love story and universal profnnlty. Unfortunately a large part of the audience apparently thought the play, was a farce, or at least a comedy. Except In the most dramatic situations, and then only once or twice, the poignant tragedy of the play Heemed utterly lost and hilarious laughter spoiled some of the strongest lines.

The cast, which included many of tho original membors, gave a line performance. Jack Roseleigh nnd Jack playing Captain Elagg and Sergeant yulrk, carried off the highest honors. Briefly the play covers tho happenings of a few days on the front In the World War, presented with stark realism and with no effort to lessen the horrors and tragedy even when It comes to the struggle between the two men for the fuvors of the little barmaid Clntrmaine, whom both men know Is true to no one soldier. "What Price Glory" came here from Boston after a remarkable run of 442 performances to crowded houses at the Plymouth Theater, Manhattan. The 'authors.

Maxwell Anderson and Laurence ((tailings, have presented characters so subtly conceived that no. matter how rough the men may seem, how profane they may be, or how lost to moral sense they may become on the surface, when it conies to the crucial test of duty and honor' they are right on the job. FATEFt'L HAYS. Certain days have been marked nes In some persons' lives. Nearly all the chief events of Thomas a Bucket's career, Including his murder and the translation of his body occurred on a Tuesday.

She has been trained in pullte wickedness by a gentlemanly thief played by A. In bis most velvety manner. She worms her way Into an Knglish drawing room as a Mrs. Cheyney of Australia and gets her self invited to the home of Mrs. Webley, possessor of a most valu able necklace.

A dashing and wicked young Kngllshman, Lord Arthur Dllllng, who likes lovo but finds marriage wearisome, finds himself Immensely enamored of her and haa asked her to marry him a few mo- ents before discoverlhg her to be a crook. When he catches her in a bedroom bent on lifting the glowln; necklace, lie locks the door and de mands as the price of silence that she remain with him for the night. This the dear and Innocent little Kng lish Klkl will not agree to no, not all. She rings the night hell brings the household to the room and confesses herself a crook. After which Mr.

Lonsdale con trives clumsily to have her prove very noble again, making It possible for her to change her mode of life and marry the wicked Kngllshman who turns nulto noble himself. Ro land Young Is thnt Kngllshman. It Is not easy to think of him as terribly fascinating and wicked, but It Is a surprisingly simple matter to think him as one or the best or Amen can nctors. It is a new type of role for him and he proves delightful even his legs are too short to permit him to become a matinee idol. Ina Claire Is admirable, too, and A.

E. Matthews, also, bh has been snld. The nlav and Its actor provide an eve ning's fresh amusement. Once or twice Mr. Lonsdale grows a bit tiresome while trying to talk the plot out of mind, but only once or twice.

Winrnr-u smitn nas stagen the play, which It may be hoped Is Indication tnat no nas grown weary of dealing only in homespun hokums. Oh! Oh! Nurse! at Werba's Is Satisfactory, But Pretty Old Stuff "Oh! Oh! Nurse!" which made Its metropolitan debut at Werba's Brooklyn Theater last night, might classed as a Babbitt musical com edy. It is no better or no worse lhan a hundred others that have been seen during the past ten years. There was some sort of a wild and Improbablo plot at times reminding one of the Mikado songs of the tin-pan alley school; humor of the comic supplement order; dances that might have been staged by George Cohan; pretty girls; a wealth of expensive costumes, and a cast rf principals not particularly well known to fame. It is all so delightfully conven tional and standardized that to Is simple enough to understand how Clark Ross, Us producer, believed that "Oh! Oh! Nurse!" was a sure hit.

But the very fact that it is much like Its neighbors, is tho reason why the aulence at Werba's not have a wildly exciting night. There Is absolutely nothing outstanding In "Oh! Oh! Nurse!" Nothing to make one remember the piece. It just happened; Just ns It has all happened many times before. George E. Stoddard, who wrote the book, has told the tale of a nurso who would Inherit $2,000,000 dollars after she had married and was widow.

Of course, she was In lovo with a young doctor. And equally, course, to get Ihe money she decides to marry a dying patient in the doctor's sanltorlum. (Let us see, Koko, Yum Yum, and Nanki Too were mixed up in some sort of a similar arrangement). How the nurse finally wins her Inheritance and the man she loves la the backbone of the play. Like the late Charles E.

Hoyt, tho author of "Oh! Oh! Nurse!" has named his characters In a wny that brings to mind their characteristics. The doctor Is Sidney Kill-more. An undertaker Is Will riant. The nurse is Marion Gay. And tho poor victim is I.

Dye. Gertrude Vanderbllt heads the cast. She plays the part of Miss Lily White, "the butter and egg bahe." Miss White wears stunning gowns, puts across one or two conversational songs and is trusted to hand out the wise cracks. This she does In a finished manner. Then there are also In "Oh! Oh! Nurse!" John Price Jones as the doctor, RehJkuh Cauble as tho nurse, Don Barclay as the victim, M'iy Boley as an Injured wife, and BH.

Adams as a "show-off" undertaker. are like the piece satlsfactorj conventional. IRENE BORDONI SINGS IN BEDROOM FARCE Avery Hopwood, with a wave of a chemise, or was it two chemises, last evening sponsored the opening of the new four-poster season when tliero came to the Lyceum Theater Irene Hordlnl In the Immediately amusing comedy called "Naughty Cinderella" that was seen at Werba's Brooklyn Theater last week. Hopwood Is credited with adapting the- piece from the French of Bene Peter and Henri Kalk. And yet this farce remains more Hopwoodlan than, shall say, fatuously French.

"Naughty Cinderella" Ih described, so shail it be characterized hero, a "song farce." By that is meant that at Intervals between scenes of Indelicate amours In a hotel at the Lido, Venice, Miss Bordlnl Is given bits of romantic warhllngs. Anil whatever success "Naughty Cinderella" may enjoy at the Lyceum, will probably be duo to the star's very delightful singing of such ullurlns composltlons as "Nothing But Yes In Your Eyes," "Mia Luna" and "That Means Nothing to Me." The last named, Incidentally, is even now being populurized In London through gracious efforts of Alice Delysl-i an extravaganza possibly to bo known here later as "On With tho Dance." On tho play Itself, there Is dis-closod little of outstanding merit. To sure, there are to be found here the Ingredients of the familiar French farce the handsomo but nervous hero, who Is in love with pretty wife of a very Jealous husband; a young lady of (as the program describes her), "uneasy virtue," and a "good" girl, who, happily, Is enabled to establish her goodness but a few moments before Ihe final curtain. All these are conveniently assembled at the Lido and it Is tho re. In a hotel apartment, that Mr.

Hopwood commanded to be waved the first lemon-tinted chemise of an as yet uncoinproinlsed season In the theater. When Miss Bonlnnl was not crooning her love pieces to the lapping waters of the Adriatic, best performances were registered by Henry Kendall, as the hero; Adele Windsor, ns lady of misguided virtue, and Alfred lima, who played a brief but hlglily-ainuslng bit as a Venetian gendarme.

Hor Timothy Kelly Jackie Cook an NO attempt will be made in this account of "Old Clothes," at the Canltnl Theater this week. to report upon tho alarming physi cal elongation of a boy who has It not within his power to remain the child he camo to us some Ave years ago. Jackie Coogan Is 10 now, may be 11, and with a string of cinematic achievements already securely fastened to his belt, it is not unnatural that he should be aware of his Im portance to his public. The child is beginning to take himself seriously. And prceoclousness, when it is Impressed with its own Importance, Is likely to be a little tiresome.

But that Is beside the subjject in hand, or rather that which Is cur rently on exhibition on tho Capitol's screen. "Old Clothes," I hnve found to bo a thoroughly satisfactory comedy. In it are continued the adventures of Ginsberg and Kelly, the eld clothes man and his miniature helpmate, who so delighted fllmgnera in Jackie's lust previous contribution, "The Rag Man." The picture is, in fact, a sequel to that earlier piece. Both were written by Mack. -t 1 If there were any criticism to be voiced upon the dramatic develops ment of the younger Coogan, It would be in the opinion of this reviewer to charge Jackie with stage consciousness and with posing too lengthily when ho seeks to portray what are often minor registrations.

It would he better, perhaps. If the child were permitted occasionally to be himself. That matters little, however. "Old Clothes" is a light-footed composition, unhampered by too serious a plot construction and carried along easily upon a thin coating of romance in which Jackie, himself, Is Incidentally concerned. There Is, of course, the matchless humor of Max Davidson's portrait of the very Jewish Mr.

Ginsberg, who is as splendid In this gayer Interpretation of an Fast Side patriarch as Rudolph Schlldkraut is In a similar If more serious bit In "Proud Heart" a few blocks farther The romantic leads In "Old Clothes" are nicely hnndled by Joan Crawford and Alan Forrest, who defer respectfully In even their bigger scenes to the acknowledged superiority of tho child who has been chosen to lend them, 50 FACTORY SALE Hr It Yonr Opportunity to Remodel Your Old Furniture at Big hnvlngn FREEl Window Drapm with Order Phone FOXcrnft 4I or DAVton 'Dig For Naloaman With Free Sample S-Pc Hnltea Re- uphnlatered Ilk new 1 tapeatry or leatherette.

NEUTrODYNE mm JJ JH ILil jLiLjLj. JOE COOK AND OTHERS GOOD AT THE ALBEE Joo Cook, aptly called "The Humorist," entertained a capacity house at The Albeo last night. He was assisted by three able confederates In the art of buffoonery, and tho act went big. In explaining why ho cannot imitate four ukes at the same time he carried his audience back 72 years when he played oil the pre-orlglnal Brooklyn baseball team.

In the closing act. which Is a crackerjack acrobatic number by the (tlx American Belfords, Cook does his best to be of some use to the troupe; but only succeeds In getting out of the way In time. Taking the house by storm, the Lockfords, Naro and Zlta, with the assistance of the Paul Tlsen Orchestra, present one of the finest dance numbers in vaudeville today. Their burlesque dance is one of the best of its kind. The orchestra, which Is entirely string, Is a novelty and good.

Al and Fanny Htedman kept the audience In stitches while they were on the stage. She is full of pep and he is a wlz at the piano, and their funning Is fast and furious. Kae Samuels gave of her best, although apparently handicapped with a hoarse voice. A comedy playlet called "Bull Dog Sampson." presented by Harry Holman and company, was fairly well received. The Three Australian Boys sang several songs In harmony which were heartily applauded.

Hayes, Marsh and Hayes in an interesting song and dance revue, the Six American Bel-fords, tumblers; the usual news reel, topics of the day and orchestra and organ selections round out the bill. "CANDIDA" COMES BACK Shaw's "Candida" camo back to liroodway last night at tho Comedy Theater, with Peggy Wood as Candidn and Morgan Farley as Marchbanks. and a delightful, more than adequate performance It was which the Actors Theater gave. Miss Wood, carrying her role In a mellow, somewhat high-pitched voice, was a cajoling, flirta- tious and at the same time practical wife of a muscular-Christian, the Rev. Mr.i Morell.

Helen Tllden as Prossy played a prim spinster laboring de-ilclously under the burden of a hopeless and romantic love a little gayly under the influence of the champagne that cheered. Morgan Farley was perhaps exaggerated in his Marchbanks and Just a trifle too emaciated for even a starving poet. But the whole cast Harry C. Browne as Morrell, Frank Henderson ns the Rev. Alexander Hill and Richie Ling as Mr.

Rurgess was as nearly everything that could be asked for as any one has a right to expect under this fickle 1110011. THE BUSHWICK There Is a strong bill nt the Bush-wlck Theater this week with two or three acts receiving special attention from the audience Irene Franklin, iilwnvs received with quite a demon stration, has several new songs and she puts them over with vim and snap. Slgnor Trlscoe and his, Guatemalan band takes up a most Interesting half hour. A notable act presented by Claire Vincent, aided by Frank 1). Gardner and Blanche Lord, Is aptly styled "An Etching from Life." The Aurora Troupe are three "cycling i-qulllbrists." Val Harris and Vera Griffin have an act which gives Harris a fine op portunity to present a character sketch of an old man.

In "(Massy Nonsense' Harrv Hart and Helen Helens create much laughter. Al H. Wilson Is a funny man who says nothing. Brooks nnd Iloss have a group of good somrs. THE FLATBUSH There is a great mixture of enter-talnment on tap this week at tho Flatbush Theater.

Hen Meroff and his high-hatters, an exceptionally good orchestra, top the bill. Tom Smith, comedian, shares headline honors with Meroff nnd Hilly W'avne and Ruth Warren run a close third In a comedy playlet, "The Last Car." "Stars of the Future" Is a sing ing and dancing specialty. Milton Berle and Reck and Rector complete the bill. Reginald Denny Is shown In his latest screen comedy, "Where Was I The Casino. The burlesque this week at the Casino Is "Happy Monierts," a show In two ucts and IB scenes.

Glalvs Vaughn and Pauline (Slenmarr are the stars, assisted by the two come- dluns, Lew White and A. MacDonald. The Cnyety. "Mnke It Peppy" Is the title of the attraction at the Gayety this week. Francis Fair, a beautiful young woman, heads a pretty chorus and met with great favor last night.

Paul Terry In his "Aesop's Fables" has often come close to the perfect burlesque of such puerile, halry-chestod business as "The An cient Highway." With his funny little cat and a 'squad of frolicsome mice has Tefry frequently shown us the possibilities for genuine humor which lie beneath the surface of an Intentionally serious movie prop erty, wherein the hero rescues the heroine from going over the falls with a cargo of floating logs and, in deed, does many other deeds of slni ilnrly absurd heroism. "The Ancient Highway" is James Oliver Curwood virile lnterpreta on of the lumber Industry -on the shores ot the tit. Ijiwrenoe. It relates the adventures of two warring groups of timber producers. On one side are aligned the champions of virtue In the forest primeval; the other, the forces of evil ii'V de-teitnlned that "their logs'll ndvpr go flown that Hver tonight!"
