Indeed it is the opinion of many whose statements cannot be entirely disre- garded that most of the disturbances, most of the unrest, andtmost of the disputes among nations today are the direct result of the attempts of states- men to deal with matters of business entirely beyond their comprehension. Such in substance is the view of Sir. George Paish who recently spoke herej on "The World Economic and PoliticalI Situation." It is his belief that "statesmen imposed unwise reparation demands on Germany 'under the hon- est belief that Germany could pay' them" and that "France borrowed freely with sole reliance on Germany's prompt payment." As a result France is on the verge of financial chaos which would involve the worl in the greatest panic known to history. -This is a discouraging picture. It is not, however, far from fact. France,. who before the war always stood in the position of creditor, is now debtor to an overwhelming degree. The Freneh people during the war learned from necessity the habit of borrowing. Since that time, urged on by. states- men who are in no sense businessmen, they have continued the practice. The work of reconstruction has been car- ried on in a needlessly extravagant fashion industries have been rebuilt lyric over lamb-chops, and tearfully romatic over umbrellas. The pouting, the slight irony, the shocking frank- ness, the sophisticated attention to triffles and the sentimental insistance on affectation were paraded in her characterization: seriously, it was a very nearly perfect piece of work, full of talent and appreciation. The other five in the cast, especial- ly Miss Harwick as Delia and Mr. Brown as the stray husband, were equally interpreted--simply and nat- urally. After all, the play is for thme star: the other characters must be little more than background for the ridiculous temperament of the rtlicu- loos Belinda, only artfully growing plump and matronly. The great George Jean has called Milne and his plays half-portions; and they are light, trivial if you wish. As a matter of fact, he has only two really distinguished, significant works-"The Lucky One" and "Success"-both of which were prompt failures on the professional stage. His other pieces, however, have become tremendous box-office attractions, perhaps for two reasons. In the first place, "Belinda", "Mr. Pim Passes By", "Ariadne" and in its opposite way "The Dover Road" are a beacon of salvation and their author a saint, a blessed patron to all actors, especilly actresses, who have p'assed an ingenue adolescence and must;turn for their stardom to women ofs un- certain age. Milne invariably m'akes his leading lady charming and matron with a vast store of wit and clever repartee, who has just recently in- clined to stoutness. This is no inconsiderable patronage to cater for. When you stop to con- sider, nearly all the recognised artists have passed their dangerous thirties: Ethel Barrymore, Laura Hope Crews, Blanche Bates, Margaret Anglin, Mrs. Leslie Carter, Nance O'Neil-the list is nearly endless-all must wear tulle about their necks and artfully design tl..ir gowns on slender lines. To this majority a part like Belinda or Ariadne is a port of refuge: their managers fight for the author's favor. Even more important is Milne's skilful play on his audiences. His leading men and women are not real- istic-no one to-day is willing to see a mirror of nature-but rather they stand for the ideal we would all be. There is no man that is not ridden with the complex to be a gentleman, a poised gentleman of the world, who can match jungles-lions, to be melo- dramatic-who can be equally suave and blandly persuasive in the draw- ing-room, who can turn gentle mots and who can speak intelligently both of claret and Gordon gin. Similarly, all women, by legend, long tensely to be an image of the Belindas who can turn delicately from a tantalizing flirt, sophi°sticated and J A tempting array of finest foods superbly prepared--- that's what the Arcade holds in store for you on Sunday ---and every other day, too. .
