Mrs. H. S. Miles, over Dodge, the jeweler. CONTINUOUS PLAY Is Expected to Develop in England After the War.

London, Sept. of The Associated -The continuous presented perhaps on a revolving stage, will develop after the war, in the opinion of Lady Wyndham, wife of Sir Charles Wyndham, the British actor and theatrical manager. Before her marriage to Sir Charles, Lady Wyndham was Missing Mary Moore, an actress and his partner in the management of several London theatrse. "The war," she declares, an article in the Pall Mall Gazette, "will probably supply motives for various plays long after peace has been restored--not the war which is expressed in glimpses of battle, but the war as it shows itself in the hearts of men and women and influence their lives and their actions. "My belief is that after the war an entirely new style of play will be evolved, and it will then be considered old fashioned to drop the curtain and have an The practically continuous play will be due, if it comes into being, to various causes.

There is, among other things, a tendency for people to go to revues and music hall, where the curtains do not drop. "It is an indication of the restlessness of the age, and it was noticeable before the war. If these people are to be tracted to the theatre, they must have plays presented to them which do not contain a series of breaks. There may be rapid changes of scene and costume, or there may be the same setting throughout the performance. "To have the same setting from beginning to end in a successful play would mean the need for greater art on the part of the players.

As for the writer of plays of the kind which I foresee, he will find the work quite easy if he is a good craftsman. One misfortune arising from a changed style of play will be the loss to the public of many fine examples of the wright's art which have won fame in the past. It may be that theatres will have to be altered constructically. For instance, the stage of each theatre may have to be the revolving type, to enable the swift change of scene to be brought about as I suggest. Something of the art exists at the Coliseum.

"There is nothing more revolutionary in the continuous play of the future than there was in the past in the change from the five, six, or seven act plays to the play of three acts at the outside--with which we have grown familiar. We must therefore, look forward to the results of an evolutionary process rather than to those coming from revolution.

Houghton Robins WANTS TO NATURALIZE 600,000 Senator Calder Introduces Bill for Speedy Action on Citizenship. Washington, Sept. than 000 aliens who have signified their intention of becoming American citizens should be naturalized in three months under the terms of a bill introduced recently by Senator Calder New York. Statistics compiled by the bureau of made public yesterday show that between July 1, 1915, and June 30, 1917, 626,616 aliens declared their intention of becoming citizens, but under the law a declarant cannot act upon his intention until the declaration is at least two years old. Under the alien draft bill, now pending in Congress, these aliens would be liable for military service, thus relieving great numbers of Americans, particularly in cities having large foreign population.

The bureau estimates that about 300,000 of the aliens are of military age. The bill also would naturalize foreigners who have enlisted in the military service of the United States. LIBERTY BONDS ABOVE PAR. Heavy Sales on the New York Exchange at 100. New York, Sept.
