To Cart Pfeiffer if seems that he has the right to do his best to stop the war. He actsin good faith, fand' never dreams that he may be made the tool of treacherous pro-Germans. In the meantime, however, the jfriendy fall out violently, and argue with the samé gtrenuously comic results that build. up the popularity ofthe Potash-Perl- mutlee series of plays. The drama of "Friendly Enemies" grows out of the betrayal of the trustful hyphenate by the German agents. under the im- altruistic cause. Then when he believes that his son, who has eulisted in the American army, has gone to his death on a trans- port for the sinking of whieh he feel partly respon- sible, the old man suddenly cuts the ties of the past and becomes a hundred per cent. loyal to a single canse, The chief reason for the existence of the play is molions which were practically |to provide laughter and it serves the same were introduced by Ald.

Amusing Comedy About Hyphenates _ One of the most certain. of comic formulas is that which has been. used in "Friendly En- emies." Take two friends who agree on nearly every subject and show how they come into con- flict over a single bone of con- tention. It is a conflict. that never breeds hatred, and their. anger does not go very deep be- neath the surface, so that com- edy, not tragedy, is the result. - "During the war we heard a good deal about the problem of the hyphenated Americans in the United States. Several dramat- ists made use of the 'hyphenates' in melodramas, and showed them to be treacherous ingrates or. brutal villains, .The author of "Friendly Enemies" saw that there was a lighter side to this ial ne as opposedto na- ralty, He realized that. ® man might still feél bonds of sympathy for his blood relations without being a.traitor to the After considerable discus. | of high-class plays and wonder- ful singing, dancing, and musical vaudeville acts, As the name Marks is so well known to all.! they need no introduction ta what; they are, as we all know they be-.
