Heywood Broun, of the New York Tribune, concludes that the life of the dramatic critic Is not all free tickets and pretty actresses to Interview. He says that a few seasons ago not to like any of the war plays laid the critic open to a suspicion of pro-German Ism. and this year the reviewer who dislikes plays concerning the social unrest risks the chance of being called a Bolshevist Two Bolshevist plays have already hit Broadway and the end is not yet.
In spite of the inclination to treat the matter facetiously there is much to be said from the actors’ viewpoint In their controversy with the managers. In no other business, perhaps, are abuses more prevalent. An actor may rehearse seven or eight weeks while playwrights tool with a play, only to have the

pald for it. The actor who gives an extra matinee performance gets nothing for it. The actors ask for pay for rehearsals in excess of three or four weeks and they ask pay for extra matinee*—not unreasonable demands in the minds of theatergoers, though they may not fully sympathize with the actors’ methods of achieving their ends. Venom has not been lacking in the controversy, but there was one wise and thoughtful phrase in a statement by the managers this week. It was: “Whoever wins we must all lose.” That includes not only the managers and the actors who are "ouf’^profits or salaries, but theatergoers who wish to be entertained and have no deep concern in the differences between theatrical employers and employes.

Outlying cities are not likely tor some time to see 'The Jest," the play from the Italian in which the brothers Barrymore were starred in New York last year. There will be only one company next season and that one is likely to spend the year In New York.
The Lyric theater, barring strikes or other foreseen and unforeseen trouble, will open about September I. The theater has practically been rebuilt and will be, when completed, one of the handsomest and most convenient playhouses In the city. A feature of the construction is an elaborate ventilating system and felt-padded walls, which are expected to improve the acoustics. A large dance hall underground for the use of waiting patrons is another innovation.

|HE Fortune Hunter,” by Wlnchell Smith, will be the attraction next week at the Murat, _ the last week but one of the Stuart Walker summer season. Gregory Kelly, of course, has the same role he played last year in the piece, and much of the cast will .be the same as In the former production. Those who enjoyed
the comedy last summer will not nood to be told that the i>lot deals with the efforts of Nat Duncan, down and out, to make a fortune by marrying a smalltown heiress. The first act is in a New York bachelor apartment, those following are laid In a country drug store. Many characters are included in the cast, some of which are as familiar to audiences as to the actors who havd played in them. George Somnes will be seen as Harry Kellog, Ruth Gordon as Betty Graham, the daughter of the old druggist, the latter to be played by Edgar Stehli. Helen Robbins Is Josle Lockwood, the girl with the money; Edward Wever is Roland Barnette, her desperate suitor, and Eugene Stockdale is the patent-stealing person, George Burnham.

The list further includes Robert McGroarty, Ben Lyon, John Orr and John P. Webber.

Tarkington'a “Ramsey Milholland.’’
Booth Tarkington has told another
boy story in "Ramsey Milholland.” in which Ramsey is carried from earliest school days through high school and then to college and to the great war. The apparent purpose Is to depict Just an ordinary boy with all the absurdities and weaknesses of average boyhood and show hew underlying all is an essential rightness of mind and character such as caused thousands of similar boys to come to the proper conclusions about the great war and to re-
spond admirably to Its call. •
, W i th . the menui clumsiness and th* Inarticulateness of Ramaey to contrasted the brilliancy of Dora Yocum, a girl whose success in pleasing her teachers and readiness of speech in recitation, debate or conversation are a source of irritation and disgust to Ramsey through his early school and high school days. After expressing joy to his intimate friend that he is going to escape from this girl at last by leaving home for college, Ramsey finds that she has entered the same college and fate schedules him inescapably for a debate with her as an opponent, in which he fails miserably and she comes off tri-
umphant.
One suspects all along that at the bottom of his strong and frequently asserted antipathy for her is something that eventually to going to pull the other way and there is no vast surprise when they are finally drawn together. Dora Is a fervent pacifist, applying all the clearness of her mind and readiness of speech to prove war wrong, no matter why it Is entered into, and she to no coward in expressing her opinions. Ramsey, despite the respect he comes to feel for her courage, and despite difficulties in expressing his own views and feelings on the other side, gets on the
right side of the question of the need
of defeating
_ Germany. His simple,
straight forward feeling and action ar* at last s£en by the girl to be more
right than her thinking.
Th<
