BY CHARLES DARNTON. EEING “Milestones” is like seeing yourself grow old. Herein les the real fascination of the curiously simple play by Arnokd Bennett and Ed- ward Knoblauch that ran {ts uneventful course a¢ the Liberty Theatre Ss last night. It has evidently been the purpose of the authors to show the passing gen- erations in quiet scenes that reflect, rather than exaggerate, the characteristic mood of each, This makes ft difficult to judge just whet the dramatist has done to help the novelist with a theme that has already been made ¢amiliar in Bennett's wonderfully intimate studies of life in “The Five Towns.” What we saw last night was more Jike a panorama of life than @ play. Ther@ was al- Most @ total absence of the dramatic quality that we are accustomed to look for in the theatre. In dts place was the stage novelty of beholding three gen- @ations coming in turn to the #ame room as the play revealed tts three periods—1800, 1835, and the present year. There's no denying that the Rheads and the Sibleys proved as uninteresting as most families and Just about as unhappy. It was all very much fike meet- ing one’s own relatives—which ts not always the greatest joy in the world! The mildly dull first act set forth the situation a bit tediously, John Rhead, be- Aeving that the ships of the future would be built of tron, broke away from Sain Sibley, who nailed his faith to “good old Beitish” oak. The only human nterest in this business clash developed when John’s sister Gertrude broke off her engagement with The firet dramatic interest came itn the @econd act with the entrance of an inven- twe young workman who was in love with Emily Rhead, the Pretty daughter of the shipbuilder who had persisted tn his determination to wed the Rose Gibley of 1900, This workman, having discovered a Process by which ships could be built of steel, represented the younger génera. tion knocking at the NE morning Daddy took Bessie to the barber shop to have her hair clipped.

She had thought that she would get one of these if she went inside, And now she was, oh, 80 disappointed! Besste cried so hard that Daddy had to take her home again, curls and all! Her little heart sank when Daddy told her that it was not a peppermint stick, She had heard of fairies and now she wished that one would tome and turn the striped pole into peppermint. Bessie never took her eyes off that peppermint stick (as she called it), and, holding tightly to Daddy's hand as they walked home and with big tears on her cheeks, she watched the barber pole until it was out of sight. She thought of it ali day. And that night when the Dream Man visited her in her sleep visions of the barber pole still danced in Bessic's head.
