“John Hawthorne” if Morbid Man-Hunt | BY CHARLES DARNTON By way of a sermon, followers of (al earnest faith, the Theatre Guild, ve given “John Hawthorne” at the Garrick Theatre last night, only to Vavgh irreverentiy at times, espe wialy when the unhappy hero cut short the enraptured heroine's re- gious fights by saying “Let's eat." . The way of the transgressor is bard, Indeed, in (his brooding play by David Liebovitz, who would have ips believe that simple mountain folk {are poets by nature and accordingly have 4 great capacity for gotting into trouble, After playing a few hymns fon the melodeon, Henry Smart's wife goes to John’s armas, and when her husband finds her resting quite com- fortably in his embrace there ts nate | urally 4 row, in which John happens “to kill Henry. Then the play takes }much the same sinister turn as “Therese Raquin,” though without ‘the pecuilarly fascinating quality | that Zola’s study of guilt, distrust und fear possesses, With the Might of the pair, the ‘play becomes a morbid man-hunt. Worse sull, the woman is forever preaching, so that pour John has @ worry time of it. Henry's body is buried in tho cellar, but, judging by remarks made the following night, it | doesn't “keep” well, Howevers John and Laura manage to get away to the cabin of a hulf-cracked recluse, who also has a murder to his score. When Laura betrays the hiding place wandering down to a neighboring Mage John seems to be on the point {of killing her, but #he is spared for } further talking along spiritual Ines, and John is finadly captured by the ‘gent Left alone for a moment, © climbs up a jadder and throws | himself from a tiff. | \A slow-paced performance put an { added drag on the play. Oovasion- ‘ally, Warren Krech hopped about (strangely us John and was unduly streseful. possibly because Laura haa got on his nerves, In the role of the wife Muriel Starr talked more like Mrs. Patrick Campbell than a moun- jain woman, but her lack of sim- _plicity was largely the fault of the author, Bugene Ordway gave reality to the part of Henry, and Edgar Boyerson was a grotesquely bad man of the hills. “John Hawthorne” now goes into .matinee performances.

The National Thrift Movement This Is the Second Week of a 52 Week Campaign . In my letter published last Friday I closed by saying: “Tf you want to know why we must depend upon creating a new class of investors, and if you want to help in creating better business conditions, you can read a letter that I will publish in the papers on Monday.” However, I have been asked by those interested in'the Thrift Movement to devote this letter to further Organization Work—and I am glad to " comply. While at present I am writing these letters over my own signature, this is not because there are not plenty of people other than myself interested in this movement, but because there are in addition to several organized movements a great many other groups in the process of organization. Their plans have not progressed far enough to choose either their spokesman or to formulate defi- nitely their plans, nor even to determine whether they had best work independently, or amalgamate their efforts. Some of these groups are national in character, with members scattered from coast to coast, and therefore will be unable to complete their plans until the date of their annual conventions. ' I have therefore been asked to act as spokesman for the present and endeavor not only to sustain but to stimulate public interest. I have been particularly requested to say what I have said before—that there is no problem that this country faces which would not be solved, or greatly simplified, by making Thrift and Invest- ment a general practice in America. Lack of space does not permit me to go into details, but I have been requested to ask every one now interested in any organized form of improvement work, whether it may have morality, charity, Americanization or something else as its object, if they have carefully considered the part which Thrift and Invc:tment will contribute to their objective, and, if desi. of adopting, or even of investigating, the matter, to write me and I will see that the letter finds its way to the proper group. The publishers of the Business Papers are one of the groups now in the process of organization. As you probably know, every separate line of busi- ness has one or more publications devoted exclusively to its particular line. Each employer, be he big or little, looks to his particular business paper for guidance. These publishers believe that they can contribute greatly to this movement by getting each employer, in turn, to organize his employees to save and to invest their money. On Friday, January 21st, a group of these men met and arranged to call a special meeting for this present week to organize, and sent the following telegram to the national headquarters of both the Young Men’s Christian Association and the Knights of Columbus so the work would be maintained until they could get into action: “We strongly urge that the splendid work of the Thrift Campaign be continued by the maintenance of the committees now organized ani that they make immediate effort to get employers to start thrift and investment campaigns among their men. We endorse and will support editorially the thrift and investment tdea and will recommend similar action by other busi- ness publications.” American Machinist, Atlantic Coast Merchant, Automotive Industries, Boot and Shoe Recorder, Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, Coal Age, Commercial Vehical, Distribution and Warehousing, Dry Goods Etonomist, Drygoodsman, Dry Goods Reporter, El Automovil Americano, Electric Railway Journal, Electrical Merchandising, Electrical W orld, Engineering and Mining Journal, Engineering News Record, The Gas Age, Hardware Age, Ingeneria Internacional, Tron Age, Journal of Electricity, Lumber, Motar Age, Motor Boat, Motor World, Oil Trade Journal, Optical Journal, Pacific Coast Merchant, Power, Tire Rate Book. 1 am not only willing to assist any other groups that may become interested in this work but will be extremely glad to do so. Yours cordially, HENRY L. DOHERTY, 60 Wall Street, New York, ,
