"THE SONG OF THE DRUM."

AMAZING-BUT: SOULLESS.

Writing at hot speed after the production of "The Song of the Drum" at Drury Lane last month, it is only possible to give my main impression, writes, the dramatic critic of the News Chronicle.

The strongest impression of all Euro-Chi-is that, never at Drury Lane, or at any other London theatre for that matter, has there been such beauty on the stage.

That is due to the genius of Pro-

fessor Ernst Stern. I did not care for the first scene, supposed to be the parade ground in the imaginary country of Huzbaria under British rule,

The action of the play was banish ed there from India by order of the Censor. Professor Stern's "expres- sional" scenery did not blend with the modern dresses and uniforms.

An Inspiration.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE IN LONDON.

(Catinued from Page 1.).

He himself had gone through tho stage of aggressive nationalism, but he had lost it now, and had there fore incurred the displeasure of his own countrynien very often. This abstract nationalism often emother ed the higher spirit of man, which was found in the individual. In this connection: he spoke of the spirit of bragging and boastfulness which he found in Japan in 1916, and contrasted it with the beautiful human relationships among the people, Humanity was often ob- cured behind the passion of nation- alism.

His own 'experiences in the West had helped him to cherish the ident

internationalism, and he was also greatly helped because when he became known to the Western world he found it easy to occupy a warm corner of their hearts. Ho left it But the House with the Red his duty to try to utilise this feel Door" is an inspiration,

The praise that can be given to the mise en scène and music cannot be extended to the book of Fred Thompson and Guy Bolton.

The melodramatic plot of an officer in the Secret Service who is cashiered because he has been order. ed by his superiors to protend to give away secreta to a Russian spy (spies are again Russian on the stage) is not really fitted for musical comedy.
