- NEW YORK, April 23. —- From
Germany we received ”Man and
Masses" for the Theatre Guild. and
from our United States we received
"Cheaper to Marry" and “Expres-
sing W’illle" as the sum total of our
(immune provender the past week.
“Man and Masses" is an adaption
from the German of Ernest Troller
by Louis Untermeyer. The author
is said to have written this play in
jail, where he still languishes for
certain views which he holds and
with which the state—against which
he rails—cannot share. In its En-
glish version. which has been done
in excellent manner by the Theatre
Guild. it lacks every element of po-
pularity. and has very few qualities
to win approval even of that radi-
cal element for whom it evidently
was written. The Theatre Guild.
however. particularly Lee Simmons
0: who designed the sets and dir—
e ted the rehearsals. has nothing to
be ashamed of and much to be
proud of. They have given it a
remarkably effective staging, and
the mobs and ensembles have been
masterly handled. The designs of
the sets. and the lighting of the
scenes are excellent. But the play
is trite. academic. and wholly lack-
ing in‘drama except for an occasion-
al episode. Blanche Yurka and Ja-
cob Ben Ami. the first emblematic
of the logical revolution and the
latter the militant revolution, are
opposed. Miss Yurka is highly im-
pressive in her moments. and Mr.
Ben Ami’. with all the better of the
telling lines. spoils most of them—
for this scribe at least—be his in-
evitable posings and mouthings. He
is less the agitator than he is the
posing actor. Several other good
performances were given. One by
Jeanne Powers as a fiery petrel and
another who sings ofl-key but grip-
piugly effective. the "Marseillaise."
Miss Powers gives one a momenta-
rily thrill by her great moment. All
in all, the Theatre Guild has done
in fine style a. thing which does not
deserve such discrimination from its
excellent staff.
“Expressing Willie" is an Ameri-
can satirical comedy by Rachel Cro-
thcrs. happily presented through the
Equity Players who have been un-
deservedly unfortunate in the sol-
cctlou of their plays in the past. It

traversty on cults. the cult which
has to do with modern “expres-
sionism." Here in the home of an
ordinary young man who has been
successful in making tooth paste

They want to express themselves. to

things or at least talk about doing

and she listens in amazement at the
brainless chatter. She learns what
they seek to do, to be true and to
be free. To conceal nothing. So
she determines to do so. She speaks.
her mindfreely. and when she has
sufficiently scandslised the mother
and son. and incriminated the chief
“vamp." the boy is ready to call it
unis d and to settle down to dom-
estl with a regular girl without
the embellishments,“ cultism. Here
are three acts of bright. sparkling
dialogue. some amusing, situations.
and some very clever acting. all set
in appropriate surroundings. If
the play lags at times. and it some
of the situations are forced. these
defects are not particularly noticea-
ble as those which preceded them
were so delightfully amusing.
"Cheaper to Marry" by amuel
Shipman. is s. better play than he
has ever written before. This is a
dubious compliment when it is re-
membered that some of the worst
plays ever written came from his
pen. But here he has had the aid
and. encouragement of Richard
Herndon as his producer. and Mr.
Herndon has given shim the boon
of as fine a. cast as Broadway has
seen. Under ,thes'e conditions much

a young musician. but when be dis-

Dinehart. It is some consolation.
however. to find that Mr. Shipman
agrees with the world that love and
virtue triumphs over the other thing.

BETTER “WIVES AND MOTHERS
The emancipation of women as
evidenced by the evolution in dress
from steel stays that made a. twenty
inch waist and the long street
sweeping skirts to the sports clothes
of the present day has certainly had
its effect up‘on the health of wo-
mcu. \Vith proper attention to diet
and exercise-a. race of better wives

Ty Cobb may have his failings as
a,manager but he mufit be ranked
as the greatest strategist in base-
ball. He was the most picturesque
and interesting man in baSebull be-
fore he assumed the managerial role
in the Detroit camp a few seasons
ago. Since stepping into Hughie
Jenning's shoes he has drawn ad-
ded itiention by his, Napoleonic
ability in directing his forces. -
Cobb's latest lineup shift calls
forth this little item. ’
Ever since Cobb broke into the
Detroit lineup—with the exception
of a. few brief moments—he has
batted third or fourth. His battinl
power made him a logical “straight-
en out" man.
W'hen "the Jungsleers started
northward from Augusta the other
day Cobb was batting third. He had
noticed. however, that while Lu
Blue. leadoff. man. was setting on
regularly enough. he was being left
stranded by the inability of Bobby
Jones to advance him.
Cobb promptly moved himself in.
to tho sacrificing position and di‘op-
ped Jones back to seventh, moving
the men in the intervening positions
up a notch. ‘
It was a strategic move. pobb
knows his own capabilities as a. sa-
crifice hitter as well as a batter. He
still has his speed on the paths. too.
The change should not only produce
the desired result of getting Lu Bme
home oftencr but it also should give
Detroit two men on instead of one
on many occasions when Manush
and Harry Iieilmanu come to bat.
“'hlch fact alone should take
more Joy out of the hearts of op-
po‘sing pitchers. '
How will the merry battle of the
shortstops in the big leagues come
out?
‘Three untried youngsters are
striving to win fame and the for-
tune that follows with their play-
ing at short this season. The Red
80:: have Dudley Lee. The Pirates
have Glenn \Vright and Dodgers
Johnny Jones.
To date there is little on which
to base a. comparison. Scribes ”Eat
more of a chance to size up Wright
and Lee than they did Jones while
the big league clubs were preparing
for the campaign. due to the fact
that Jones was a holdout until a
few days before the teams headed
north from the sunny southland.
Jones. however. just bubbled over
with class when he did report.
Only time—and ‘a. few dozen
games under all conditions_ will
give a. line on these kids. The
game can use all of them. however.
It is generally talecn for granted
in Chicago that Ray Schallt will not
be called upon to catch all but a
few of the games for the White Sox
this season as he has in the past. ‘

record for iron-man backstopplng,
