A
Concernine "Tlio WnmU'rer," tlie
big Bceuic production in which Nance
O'Neil and James O'Neill, famous
as Monte Christ", and others star,
which conies to the Vuge Saturday
evening, Wnlter Anthony, writes as
follows in the San Francisco Citron
iele :
"The Wanderer" sparkles with the
lovely rhetoric of Hebrew, and it is as
colorful as a Bach phrnise. It sines
and sings and makes you love it,
pven if you went to the Cort theater,
as I did last night, to scolf.
I thought "The Wanderer" was one
of those plays which was built to at
tract the clergy and smirk at the
sport. "The Wanderer" is merely the
story of the "Prodigal Son," told in
three nets of great beauty. It is
sometimes so fine that you feel the
tug of a tear.
There is always the dignity of the
book by Maurice V. Samuels, to
whom my hat is off for catching the
spirit of his storv and preserving the
spirit of a big inspiration. Samuels
t.'.kes his prodigal son from the en
virons of the hills near llcbrom and
'brings him tp "the city."
Introduces ltomaiieo
The city in this case is Jerusalem.
It might be any city so far as the
facts of it are concerned, for then'
are robbers there, and scndcrs nnd
wastrels and harlotsjust as there
are in country towns, too. Hut the
prodigal son wastes his substance in
riotous living, and, broken and re
pentant, he returns To' his ancestral
halls just as is told in the liiblicul
story. But Samuels has deftly placed
i.i his plot something which is not told
ii our good book. Samuels gives ro
mance a chance and pleads mother
love. In n scene in the third act
tl-ere is a splendid vindication of the
feminine note in our orchestral
scheme of the drama. No less n
voice than that of Nanco O'Neil
pleads with Jesse, her husband in the
story, to take their last born to his
arms. And the eye that can look on
Nance O'Neil when she makes this
plea, or the ear, that can hear t.cr
voice and not register emotion, must
bo a very dry eye and a very deaf
ear.
Stars l'lay HoIqs
The prodigal son meanders far
from propriety's path, but is never
revealed as evil or aonormal rven
when he denies his own god. The de
nial is a matter of the lips and is not
related to the heart at all. His God
knew.
In the part of Jesse, James O'Neill
performed a role which called forth
all that quality of devotion and sin
cirity which has endeared him to me
nnd you since Hie days of "oMnte
Cristo. O'Neill has tenderness, sen
timent, imagination and voice. Hi;

LONDON, June 20. (t)y the As
sociated Press.) In the fight oft the
Dutch coast on June 4, five British
seaplanes of the largest type out
fought nineteen German seaplanes.
One of the enemy machines was sent
down In flames and another driven
down out of control, according to a
description of the fight written for
the Assocated Press by Ensign K. B.
Keyes, a United States naval aviator.
Previous to the encounter one of
the British machines had descended
to make repairs and the Germans set
upon four other machines protecting
the Injured one. Ensign Joseph
Eaton, another American aviator,
was oii the injured muchino and he
was subsequently interned in' Hol
land.
Two Americans In Crews
Ensign Eaton and I were the two
Americans among the crews of five
flying boats on a North sea patrol,'
says Ensign Keyes. "West of Ter-
schilliag, Eaton's machine had to
alight on Iho surface owing to engine
trouble. We stood by. circling in the
air and waiting for him to repair the
damage. Soon five German airplanes
hove In sight. We took battle forma
tion and went for them. I was in the
front cockpit with one gun and 400
rounds of ammunition. In the stern
were three more guns and their operators.
"The Germans flod at our approach
but I had the satisfaction of getting
several rounds Into them, altbo it is
impossible to say whether there were
any effective lilts. After a time four
enemy machines came circling back,
and soon afterward we discovered ten
hostile machines coining from an op.
posito direotion. They were joined
by five more, making 19 in all.
Itattlo Against Odds
"We four swung Into battle post
tion and charged into the middle of
the enemy fleet. When we wore near.
ly within range, four planes on the
port side and five on the starboard
rose to our level, while two of the
enemy majchiaes passed directly be
neath us, shooting upward.
'The firing was Incessant from the
heginalng and the air was blue with
tracer bullet smoke, tho Germans us
ing explosive bullets. We kept up a
fine running fight for ten miles, until
we drove off seven Germans, sending
one down out of control and crashing
anothor in flames from a height of
two thousand feet. Tho five other
machines were severely punished by
our gunfire.
The wholo engagement lasted a
half hour and I think wo did very
well."

NEW YORK, Juno 20. In a state
ment denouncing a suggestion of
European socialists that Gorman anil
Austrian delegates bo invited to at
tend a "plenary international con
gress in the near future," the Amer
ican Alliance for Labor and Democ
racy announced today that American
socialists endorsing the cause of "this
and other democratic nations" would
send peven prominent members of
their party to liurope to present to
European socialists "tho American
interpretation of democracy and in
ternationalism," and "to beg them to
stand with us solidly united for vic
tory."
According to the statement, A. M.
Simons of Wisconsin, who will head
tho delegation; Louis Koppelin, so
cialist editor, and John Spargo and
Alexander Ilowatt, socialist and labor
loaders, have sailed for Kngland to
join Charles Edward Russell und Pro
fessor George D. Ilerron, who already
are ovorseas. Prank Holm, tho sev
enth member or the delegation, will
follow them soon.
The delegation's first duty will be
to attend the conference called by the
British labor party in Loudon on
Juno 28. Later the Americans will
go to France. Italy and Switzerland
to confer with socialists In thofc
countries.
After emphasizing the alliance's
opposition to "tho wholo Stockholm
conference scheme, rbot and branch,"
and assorting that nothing ran be
gained by 'conversations' about peace
at tho present time," the statement
adds that "as socialists and internat
ionalists, wo are not opposed to the
right kind of a 'conference.' " Some
of tho conditions i membership to
the congress are enumerated as follows:
"Tho unconditional acceptance by
each and every delegate attending the
conference of tho peace terms of de
mocracy, as formulated by President
Wilson on Jan. 8 and by tho entente
sociulisls In London on Feb. 2.
