It is & finished impersonation of consum- mate cruelty that Mr. Quartermaine gives us. A new shift of the pattern! We see neither society favorites nor passion- ate peasants, but homely human kind- ness. The little between Miss Boland and Mr. rtermaine as French weavers must recall to us two lines of John Boyle O'Reillys: “And there's nothing sweet in the city Save the patient lives of the poor.” Joanny, gay, royatering reprobate that he is, off-handedly sacrifices his THE ITALIAN. comedienne: her father MBER 9, 1 Feputation as a workman to help out his sick and peevish comrade. As the wife of the latter Miss Holand is at once tender, anxious, despairing and resigned, above all conscious of re- sponsibility. This last attribute ts enough in itself to differentiate the role from that of Anne or Nina. RISE TO GREATEST HEIGHTS IN FINAL ROLES. Presto! we are in a sunny Dutch garden, nearly three hundred years ago, where the actress for the first time appeara as the daintiest of No wonder her nurse, nd her fop of a suitor yleld to her spell. She twinkles and iparkles and is demure and danger- ous til the audience itself falls in love with her. As for the Parisian- handles the big questions—presses the buttons, #0 to speak, but Gen. let, Chief of Staff, does the actual work. During the battle of the Alene Bertholet was the hardest worked man in the world. Here's how Gen. Joffre keeps track of hin 300-mile battle line: After several tripe along the fringe of the wi fter meeting thousande of soldiers on the same day, some morth, some going south, in tangle; after seeing convoy after con- voy of food, and ammunition, miles long, going to and coming from the fighting sone; after glimpsing ambu- Iance caravans and traine, batteries of artillery, regimenta of cavalry, armiee of infantry, aeroplane corpe, dirigible outfits, corps of engineers, platoona of horse, pontoon sections, and what not—all seemingly jumbled, coming from nowhere and going no place, it etruck me more foreidly than ever that the modern fighting ma- chine is the most complicated thing on earth, 1 tried to imagine. ‘myself com- Figure it out for yourself, Meats and. eggs are high priced.

Ready in 20 minutes. ’ manding all this; to grasp how a 200- mile line of thie sort could be con- trolled and how it could possibly be kept from getting tangled up with iteelf and without interference by an enemy. My curlosity grew until I Gecided to find out how all this bust- nena ie managed by one man. GEN. JOFFRE'’S SPECIAL MAPlOF a THE WAR. In Gen. Joffre’s headquarters, in a certain long room, hangs a special map. It shows every road, canal, rail- way, bridle path, pig-trail, brid clump of trees, hill, mountain, valle; river, creek, rill and swamp. Thin te part of the outfit. Another part is a wonderful collection of wax-headed Dina of all colors and sizes. Theso represent army units of all sizes and all organisations, Into the long room run many wires, oth telephone and telegraph. Wire- Jess apparatus also in this room. The way it worka,seema wonderfully simple when it is éxplained. The battle about to commence. ‘The troope have been distributed all along the 200-mile line. The Germans are facing them. A bell rings: “Hello—yee—the Germans are at- tacking Gen, Durand’s division? They are in superior aumbera? The gen- eral needs reinforcements? All right.” The staff officer who has taken this Information over the phone hurries to where Gen. Bertholet is aleeping. The general has just dosed off. This te “the first sleep he has had in thirty-six hours, but Gen. Bertholet wide awake in an instant. He imps to the floor still wearing his’ pajamas, the only garments he has Worn in several days. ‘Tee taf of- ficer reports. Tm a twinkle Gen. Rerthotet, who knows his map ae he does hia own face, locates Durand’s division, He knows that ten miles back of Durand's command are quartered a number of reservea--under Gen.

Blanc more he is executing it, and Gen. br doa is informed help ts coming to im. Then Gen. Rertholet takes another , if the battle will permit. If it doesn't, he stays awake to direct men who are miles away from him. Every time a bridge is blown up or a pontoon has been thrown across a stream, or a food convoy shifts, Gen. Bertholet gets up and shifts his pins to indicate the change. Nothing happens alone the 200-mile battle line but that Gen. Bertholet, still in pajamas, leaps from his bed nd changes the pins on the map. ‘The map must be kept up to the min- ute. Gen. Joffre must be able to look at it any time of the day or night ‘As far as pomible, through Infor- mation brought in by spies or avi- ators, he keeps track of the forces of the enemy in the same manner. No detail that is of use is overlooked. ‘The pins indicate even the size of the guns, the kind of ammunition they use, and @o on ad infinitum. ‘Tho management of the 200-mile battle line thus becomes compara- tively simple. ‘y am told that during the battle of the Aisne Gen. Bertholet seldom slept more than thirty minutes at any one thne. Ho never had on his uniform during tho entire fight. He worked in his pajamas and many times dropped where he could for a cat- nap when he saw a minute's respite be War Office in Bordeaux looks after things in general. Gen. Joffre, of course, orders important changes in the conduct of battle, but other minor details, such as rushing rein- forcements to stricken points, are looked after by the very energetic, rather wonderful Bertholet, who sel- dom has time to quit his pajamas.

While we look and laugh, the scene shifts to the room of a London flow- er maker, The presentation of the new personalitics is smoothly accur- ate as all that has gone before. Miss Boland makes her cockney Melisande ® quietly pathetic figure, rising to heroic heights in the end. The actor is cockney too, combining rough good nature with ‘an insensibility that doesn't know itaelf to be brutal. Once more the two become people we haven't met before, working out their destiny in a Siberian trapping camp. Here Miss Boland must show —and does show—with bitter exacti- tude a woman who js a rather vin- dictive animal, while Mr. Quarter- (LEON OQUARTERMAINE, maine portrays a Slavic Idealist whe furng even his, despair Into exaltee jon, But it is in the pictire pattern of the dressmaker's shop that this tre- mendous versatile actor and a excel themselves.
