"AN ENGLISHMAN'S HOME"
AUTHOR KILLED IN ACTION. (Reo. March 11, 8.50 p.m.) London, March 11. Major Du Maurier, author of "An Englishman's Home," has been killed in action. ;
"An Englishman's Home" was a military drama, mitten with the idea of rousing the British people to a sense of what an armed invasion of their country would mean. The play achieved a most extraordinary success in England, though it fell somewhat flat in America, while a German version, produced in Berlin, evoked laughter. This was not to be wondered at as .the play was essentially British iu motive, action, atmosphere, and dialogue. In the light of the German baby-killers' recent raids on defence-, less towns on the English East Coast, the drama struck a prophetic note, while the Gerirmu brutalities in Europe show that the horrors of war which the drama depicted in the shelling of the "Englishman's Home" were very far from exaggeration. :
