...United States, nevertheless, it has given hundreds of men a grounding in the first principles of military training. For years we had a certain amount of military drill, so when the war came we had a solid foundation on which to work. The college men of England furnished a great many officers for the army, and it does look now as if this class of men were going to provide the officers for the United States, because from practical experience college men seem to make the best officers. They are usually athletes and accustomed to the co-operation and discipline...

...There was no wild outburst of enthusiasm for war in either England or any of the other countries when we saw that Germany was bound to cause our entrance into the war. We knew what we were up against and realized that it was different from all former wars. The situation was much similar to the one Voltaire was placed in when he was asked if he was in favor of capital punishment and replied, 'Certainly, let the assassins begin.' The war is being fought by the Germans on Allied territory, and is being carried nearer and nearer...

...owing to the well known talent in production of Mr. Iden Payne. Settings, costumes, etc., are arranged to the key of 1830, the age of tasseled canes and wonderful waistcoats, when a copy of Don Juan lay on the dressing tables of ladies of fashion; a picture of old England in its autumn, smiling through the mist of factory smoke just beginning to rise. Unfortunately a production set in so delightful a key has to be something more than a mere picture, or even a mere dramatization; it ought to be a play in its own right, and this "Major...

...these husky trifles a man of Mr. Drew's talented staginess can produce a characterization. Next to the star, Miss Alison Skipworth, as a fat and vulgar Lady Clavering, is most worth seeing. Mr. Charles Kennedy was exceedingly funny as one of those preposterous stage Irishmen "made in England." The real Irishman is something so appalingly different from the invention that sometimes he has to be stood up against a wall and shot. CUTHBERT WRIGHT...
