American, playgoers can't | d by the Speclm'@ of An-| tooting a trombone at the | vation Army squad. For is 1no doubt that the millionaire facturer of fighting machines in s new play is Mr. Carnegle, and lest | there should be any question about this he is named “Andrew Un aft” Calvert, who plays the part at the Court, | carefully made up as the Laird of kibo. 1 Anol!.cr character, a whisky manufac- turer, Thames embankment,’ “‘whose product is advertised on the | is obviously Sir | Thomas Dewer. Annie Russell piays the| | part of the capitalist’s daughter, Barbara, who has joined the army | wants to do good,” and Shaw’s theme, so | far as it can be discovered, is the struggle | between the father's and daughter's re- spective creeds, his being the cynical one that money and force accomplish every- thing, while hers is an abiding faith in | Christian charity. | About these two creeds and about all | Bhaw’s other favorite themes there is taik interminable, though it goes without say-{ ing that much of it is highly briilian But Shaw has broken his word to us, and | broken it in an unexpected w: iscussion in three acts, | recently w d “romantic playsoers” that he had “thrown them over com- | pletely” in writing his new plece. { But “Major Barbara” is not merely a discus and romantic playgoers are not thrown over completely, and it is just this circumstance that inclines one to be- lieve that the latest Shavian farrago will share the fate of “Jobn Bull's Other island” when it is produced in the United es. For there Is just enough real ay and real character drawing in the st two @cts of “Major Barbara” to ‘p‘uuc our interest and rouse our antici- | pation, and then comes the long-winded debate about everything from university education to how the poor live which to- | ward the finish puts even the ardent | Shaw admirer perflously close to the yawn. Beside the stage Carnegie with his | trombone we have a prpfessor of Greek | pounding a bass drum, also in the serv- ice of the Salvation Army. He s Major Barbara’s lover, who has joined the | Booth forces in order to be near her, but | | who ultimately becomes the manager of | the factory where her father's death- dealing missiles are turned out. There | is, It appears, a tradition in the Under- shaft family that its head shall always | cessor, and owing to Andrew Undershaft’s | | insisting on following this rule and dis- inheriting his own son, he and his wife have quarreled and separated sc\‘eral' years before the play opens. LONG DISCUSSIONS AT END. The Undershaft girls, however, Barbara and Sophie, need wedding portions, so the father of the house is summoned back and in the first-act we have him | | calling at Lady Britomart Undershaft's house and being “introduced” to his own daughters. Taken with the girl whose religlous tendencies have led her to be- | come a major in the Balvation Army, the | mililonalre proceeds to draw her out, and here there begins the struggle between | the two. Barbara is convinced that a visit to her Salvation Army “shelter” | will impress her father with the fallacy BITTERS The best known and safest remedy before the public to-day for curing Sour Stomach, Heartburn, Nausea, Bloating, Poor Appetite, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Chills.

That is the end of the first.aect, and the spcnnd. with its life-like picture of the ““army” shelter, is really uncommonly interesting and dramatic. Andrew Un- dershaft arrives with Barbara and meets | several of the converts, but what he gets out of them is mnot favoraple to his daughter's bellefs. These converts, by the way, are among the best character studies that Shaw has given us, one of them, a slum bully, being as truly a character as the chauffeur in “Man and Superman.” Meanwhile, however, the wealthy brewer already mentioned has offered the shelter a handsome check which Barbara refuses, objecting to the means by which the money has beén made. But her superiors overrule the girl, and furthermore accept a substantial con- tribution from the manufacturer of war implements, and so Barbara resigns dis- gustedly, while Undershaft proceeds to lead forth a detachment of the army, himself playing the trombone, and fol- lowed by Barbara's lover, the erstwhile pedagogue, with the big drum. b There the play, as such, ends. All the rest is talk—talk about Salvationism, Whiggism, the press, altonol, charity, Donizettl’s music, English slang and matrimony. At the end, it is true, we know that the capitalist has won, and that Barbara is a convert to his ideas, but then we do not care greatly, for we are rather fatigued by the long-winded- ness of the author, who as one of his best friends remarked the other day is always amusing but not amusing for quite so long as he supposes. ———— WAR DEPARTMENT TO MOVE BODIES TO NEW CEMETERY Remains Interred at Fort Sumner Are to Be Raised and Sent to- Santa Fe.
