By Bertha Kalich " Picture in your mind's eye a magnificent specimen of matured manhood, virile in physical dis tinction, mellowed by years of ex perience and endowed with an in nate Individuality distinctively his own. A man in whose presence you feel the awe of reverence and adoration; whose commending figure indicated the bigness ot.the soul within, and whose soft, melo dious voice registers the note of sincerity that permeates every fiber of his big, honest, wholesome body. Such a man ik the Her mann Sudermann of today. A truly great man In thought and expression, whose reasoning upon the fundamentals of life is abso lutely profound and basically sound; his deductions upon the re sults of certain social evasions and trespasses are accurately defined, and his character drawings photo graphically real. With such an endowmen. men tally and physically, you can read ily realize how this giant of dra matic literature created, developed and revealed such a virile and sound play as "Mafcda," in which the philosophy of domestic unity and filial devotion is propounded and sustained with a fidelity to principle and practice that is flaw less in argument and faultless in revelation. He has turned the searchlight of truth into the closet of conventionality and ruthlessly revealed the besetting sin that to day exists in the twentieth century methods of educafing and training children with the proper reverence due parents. While he has laid the scene of his play in Germany, the truth he has put into the mouths of his characters are as real and pertineat. today in Amer ica as they were in Europe at the time when he gave-to the world CAPITOL luuiouay Indians on the war path winning the Great West; Romantic love story.
