AMUSEMENTS. Arts Club Plays Given Before Crowded House With the rooms of the Arts Club erowded to the limit Tuesday evening A program of three original one-act plays by members of the club was presented by casts composed almost wholly of members of the organiza- tion.

In_Introduction of the program G. A. Lyon, president of the Arts Club, explained that until the projected improvements were effect- ed,” comprising an auditorium _and exhibition gallery in the rear of the building, it would!be necessary to continue the play-giving in the par- lors, with the Inadequate space avail- able and a lack of the usual facilitfes for effective dramatic renderings. He noted the fact that the measures for financing this work were being pre- pared and gave warning that soon Woodridge School Reunion and Recital.

Barnouw. pro- in’ Columbla University New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons. O well knit 1s this study of Hol- land that it provides not only a comprehensive view of the general progress of that coun- try during the past quarter of a cen- tury, but it sets clearly forth as well the commanding figure of Queen Wil- ince helmina as an inspiring and directing | force in that general forward move- ment. From the beginning of her reign up to the present this author traces the career of Wilhelmina—the woman, the ruler in a constitutional monarchy, the administrator of do- mestic and colonlal affairs, the rec- ognized and acknowledged friend of her beloved people. A stimulating story for any one to read, & specially stimulating story for women to reas “Such is the woman,” says Edward Box, In & foreword to this book, “un- der whose rule her people have pros- pered and progressed for the past twenty-five years; always in the background; adverse t6 her person- ality belng brought forward: content that public attention should center upon her ministers and the two leg- tslative bodies; but nevertheless a po- tent figure and active participant in every important matter that concerns the welfare of the people of her land back of the dikes and in her far-away colonies” And again Mr. Bok sava: “There have been_trying perfods un- der the relgn of Wiihelmina for not only such progressive building, but for the actual preservation of the bullding of the past. War has threat- ened and surrounded: economic de- pressions have rocke diplomatic skill has been put to the test as never before; financial forebodings have hovered long and serjously. But Hol- land _has stood steady and strong.” Of this author he sa “No man could have been chosen to tell the story so well or so comprehensively. Twenty-five years of pulsating his- tory is not easily told within a lim- ited compass such as this book rep- resents. But the difficult task has been don. Here is an interesting and carefully considered story of “the progress of a people of standards governed by a queen of ideals.” THE WRATH TO COME, By E. Phil- lips Oppenheim, author of “The Great Impersonation,” etc. Bos- ton: Little, Brown & Co. First-class adventure any way you Jook at it. Good foundation. Straight development out of this. The hero a winner. The lesser folks, alive, be- Mevable, up and doing. Dramatic moments, innumerable, along the course of the development. You will move along, please, to 1950, taking with you a peace pact formed in 1930 The limitation of armaments inaug- urated in_ Washington in_ 1921 still holds at this 1950 point, The United Etates, then as now, is on the out- side of the great international agree- ment. Such is the situation. The ad- venture gets on its way and gather momentum through the machinations of Japan, Russia and Germany, united in a conspiratorial ign against the United States. Set off against the oconepirators in this combination is only Grant Slattery, an easy-going American with means enough to loiter sround the various playgrounds of Europe, with no more serious object, seemingly, than to live up to the merican notion of a good time. Grant Slattery is, in reality, a secret service man. A good one, too, that has & good deal more to him' than the familiar surface layer of many of these overdone sleuths. To follow him as he matches himself with one and another of these intriguers, men and women, is & good excursion into the domain of sharp wits and high courage and persistent pursuit. Be- side its external attraction as a first- rate story, there is something, maybe, to think about, in & general Way, con- oerning the basic thought of this ad- venture. NONE SO BLIND. By Albert Parker Fitch. New York: The Macmillan Company. This sory comes off in layers—Ilike each, say. On the outside there is Dick Blaisdell's love story- rosy and smooth, finally. th this, a thick and fruity growth, is Dick Blaisdell's last year in col- lege and the period immediately fol- lowing, when he takes a sharp turn toward ocatohing hold of 1i enough of & rr‘p to make life yleld him & pert of its work and some of its rewards.

Indeed, so carefully drawn is this ploture of the inner life of the college, so vividly does it project the thoughts and feelings of the new students, so important are the find- ings in respect to these students, em- Bodied in Dick Blaisdell and hun- dreds like him, that thiz third part of the romance includes something very like an indictment of institu- tions that oan so completely ove look the young fellows to whom they g & 2add ging In vaude wi lle this week, has been on the eight years old.

This interest holds and increases through the sympathetic and intelligent pro- jection of these children into vouth with is particular problem of love and marriage. The bond between these two {8 of so unusual a charx ter, of so compact a fiber, that th fact of itself outlines the problem of the author. The problem, thrown into drama, mets this clear bondage of the spirit in which the two are en- meshed off against all the other claims of life upon them—claims of other mates In childhood, of other friends in later years, of other loves and other duties. Finely distinctive work throughout. As pointed and sustained in its power to interest as readers have a right to expect from the author of “Tell England.” THE NARROW STREET. By Edwin Bateman Morris, author of “Mere Man,” etc. Philadelphia: The Penn Publishing Company. Wide enough, however, to hold a real adventure, this street, and to glve house room as well to a most de- lightful hero. Simon Haldane—rem- incent of the Willlam Locke tradition in heroes—is here, by virtue of his very honesty and innocence and good intent, made to look like a regular devil of a fellow, a complete Don Juan, if you please. Think of his finding a young woman {n his house— a most attractive one at that. Think of her suddenly falling -ill and’ of Simon's promptly calling ‘in the doc- tor, who, naturally calls her “Mrs. Haidane"—with nelther the girl nor Sitmon giving a word In refutation of this most serious implication. Well, this Is the way It starts and while subsequent events do develop a se- rlous plot and a sober line of action, it is, nevertheless, the lovableness of Simon Haldane that wins one most completely in this delicately conceiv- ed and delightfully projected comedy. THE GOLDEN COCOON. By Ruth Cross. New York: Harper & Bros. “I hate men, I hate marrying, I hate children.” Molly Shannon talking. Now Molly kniew no men, except her father, Lem Shannon. She had, there- fore, no personal knowledge of “marrying.” All she knew about chil- dren was the much that she gathered from the dozen, more or less, who pointed upon Lem Shannon's chief job in life. This story is devoted to changing the mind of Molly Shannon. A Texas girl this, with a scholarship in the university as one of the means of enlarging her views about things in general—about men for one thing, about marrying for another. Molly ove, and is jilted. She falls in, this time with a better e party of the second part. The governors lady. You wouldn't believe it. But so it turns out—a good one, “too. However, Molly's real troubles begin right here and you will follow her in obscurity, certainly with regret, but with an equal certainty that Providence is going to keep an eye on such an all-around winning girl as Molly Shannon is. No, prob- ably not—this couldn't have happened. So, it ie just & made-up story. But, it'is a good one. It ought to have happened. You'll enjoy It right straight through. THE PASSIONATE YEAR.

Otto Harbach is said to be glv- ing her serlous consideration. Adcle Rowland will probably return to the musical stage in New York this summer. Miss Rowland, who has been in retirement on the coast for the last vear cheering on her hus- band, Conway Tearle, to bigger and better things in the films, arrived in New York last week. to projéct a commonplace social drama. The treatment, however, re- moves this story from any possible charge of being commonplace. These are honest and fair-dealing people. They desire to do the all-around decent thing. This fact strikes the note of difference between this de- velopment and that of many of thc hectic stories of lawless love. It is, in the main, .a study of stat mind torn by the passion of lo study of psychological reactions under this supreme urge, a story of cross purposes between ' desire and the will to be fair. It is, in effact, a story of renunciation, of temporary renunciation, at least, which is a as much as one desires an author to consider and project. A good purposa lies back of this romance and gond work fulfills that purpose. THE HONORABLE JIM. By Baroness Orczy, author of “The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel,” etc. New York: George H.

James Flennes, this, & live man something like three hundred years ago. Master of Broughton Castle, seat of the an- clent house of the Lords Save and Sele. The romance Is set in tho midst of the civil war—parliament against the king, Cromwell against Charles I. Now on' this side. now and that, neighbor sets himself against neigh- bor, friend against friend. In the midst of the swift and highly ro- mantic action Jim Flennes takes a strange, but clearly dramatic and ef- fective part on the side of English liberty. An_equally romantic love story goes along, adding its pecullar urgencies to the already stressful ad- ventures created by the facts of the oivil war itself. A characteristic ro- mance, blood brother in the goodly family of this author’s many popular inventions. WHIRLWIND. By H. C. M. Hardinge. New York; G. P. Putnam's Sons. “What a life she had led.

A Day in tlie Life of The Casting’ Director THE casting department window opens at 8 o'clock every morning to discover a crowd of people of all types and professions waiting in the hope of getting a “bit” in a picture. They are fat and lean, rich and poor, handsome and otherwise, of all ages nationalities and denominations. There is an eager rush as the window opens, and from then on through- out the day the casting director must listen to pleas and stories recited in the hope of obtaining work. Some of them are amusing, some pitiful, In the latter class are those of men badly in need of work, practically destitute and with familles to sup- port. Wherever possible these men are glven the preference as extras. Generally late in the afternoon ap- pears a different element—well-to-do residents of Hollywood and tourists, whose chief Impulse in seeking work in plctures s prompted by their curi- osity to see the inside of a studio and” thelr ability later to tell th Animated Drawings home folks all about it.

They all belleve they could “outshire Poia Negri or Glorla Swanson if giten a chance. There are appointments all day long with people who make this suggestion.

Windsor McCay. 1st, about fifteen y ago hit upon the 1dea of making moving cartoons, %0 he worked out the story of Gertie, a prehistoric walked along a bank, only to be hit on the head by a cocoanut which a monkey in a tree threw at him. Mr. Mcc: went to about ten times as much work ry in making this car- toon series, for each picture he made was a separate drawing with a back- ground sketched in. He also at- tempted to figure out the action by mathematics. Sald he: “If the mon- key pitches the cocoanut when the dinosaur begins to walk forward, where will the dinosaur be when the cocoanut strikes him?’ Tt was just like a problem in arfthmetic and took a great deal of figuring to get the an- animal, who ces: swer, Tho animated would work the would first make cocoanut hitting, ture just bef pravious to that back to the first o nut started to through And the pictures toduy would be dr; photographed over one s of the setting, which was d paper.

In an ordinary movie a foot of reel is shown per second. There are six- teen pictures to the foot, 0 you can figure out the number it would take to make a story lasting ten minutes on the screen. In animated pictures, however, each drawing {s photo- graphed twice, s0 that the artist makes elght pictures for a foot of reel. Animateds can be a little more jerky than ordinary pictures, and ft only makes them funnier. 1t one person by himself made the entire drawings for one of the weekly animated animal stories you see on the screen, it would take all his time for about ten wecks.
