a VIDENTLY J. Hartley Manners bas been going out nights to giddy places where dancing and @rinking turn the heads as well as the heels of the restless set, judging by his pay, ‘The National Anthem,"’ in which Laurette Taylor went the pace last night at Henry Miller's Theatre. all This comedy of no manners at may be taken as a warning, and t again as a false alarm. While a great many people will readily grant that jazz may reasonably drive any one to drink—that is, any one with an ear for music—they may feel that the dancing craze has long since given way to comparative sanity, and that? champagne in this quarter of the globe can s consid ered a menace te On this last point Mr. Manners may argue, and argue truly, that he is dealing with people who do not have to think of their purse when taking their ex hilaration in liquid form | Those who were hitting it up at Mr. Miller's highly respectable house seemed to have plenty of money more money than brains, for that matter. Although youns Arthur Carlton betrayed an early taste for drink at a country club, Marian Hale motored off to matrimony with hin after his father had threatened to take him back home, 7 stern parent had no patience with his son's bad habits and he told Marian the boy wus no good, but as Arthur had prom ised to drink no more than she thought would be good for him Mariun took him for better or for worse. He was much worse in New York, so drunk and disorderly at a dance in his house that he becane abusive to nearly everybody, and after attempting to attack his father seemed to be on the verge of delirium tremens. Then Marian did a strange thinw for a girl who, up to this time, hated the taste of champagne and coullt barely take a sip of it. Naturally distressed by the row, she turned | the bottle and tossed off a gl the utmost ease. This was done, nv doubt, to indicate Yho course sh would take, but it was too sudden to be convincing. As Arthur had said all along that he wanted to go to Paris, he got ther: with Marian in the third act. Jazz still pursued them—or rather they pursued it, even to living in a hotel suite across the hall from the danc= room. Marian staggered in drunk | and told her troubles over the tele- | phone to a former suitor who still | loved her. ‘This devoted chap camo | over and laid down the law to the drunken husband, even threatening to | take the disgraceful matter to th American Consul, if you please! | Meanwhile Marian had gone into «n- | other room to take something for her head, and it turned out she had taken poison by mistake—an unpleasant re- minder of a real happening in Paris. | Off dashed the husband for a doctor, but he never came back. We learned, with mingled regret and surprise, he had been killed in a motor accident. | Little was said about it, and nothing | to the convalescing wife, the fathe 8 with It might have been better for the play if Arthur had lived and possibly reformed, even at the cost of Marian’s'| ironic reflection: “One of us had to! de.reformed, and I was the one.” This was when she was doing her full| share of the drinking. Her friend | Madeline did the right thing by giv-| ing her milk after the poisoning. A little milk might have done a great deal for her even before this emer gency. When the doctor sald sh would live, we were left to conclude she would live ever after with the faithful Tom, who was still among those present, But it would not have been surprising if the blast of jazz that struck her as she | ed out with Madeline had cau er to throw up her hands wit) a wild| shriek and then drop dead.
