A Chi,dren.s Theatre.

A proper stage entertainment for
young people could be made to bear
the same relation to the average play
that tho Juvenile story book, now SO
important feature in the well.assorted
library, does to tho novel of the time.
Parents very properly watch over the
reading of their offspring to see that
novel reading does not become a habit
prematurely, but juvenile fiction of a
suitable order does not enter within
the forbidden Slimits. Why, then,
should the most anxious parents hesi
tate to allow the younger members Of
the family to attend stage performan-
ces of proper characterr The annu-
al Christmas pantomime, which is
made such feature by London mana
gers, and put on the boards with the
most brilliant display, is anticipated by
both parents and children rs not the
least attractive clement of the holiday
season. We cannot SEQ why, in q
great metropolis, where alone such a
class OF amusement would warrant the
manager In the undertaking, chill
drea's theatre might not be made a
permanent institution. The obstacle,
if any exists, would he one In the in
terest Of public morality, but question
of managerial policy. In our judg-
ment the latter objection, we'll hedged
by hrewd and shary Insight into the
nature of Chi dren and proper business
management, would cease to exist. 1t
can be readily conceived how charm
ing the fairy tales, which are the gos.
pels of childhood, might be made on
the dramatic stage, when presented
with all that care for details displayed
In the ordinary play. We See an ex
ample of this in the occasional perfor
nanccs of the stories of "Cinderella, ;
"Little Red Riding Hood" e,c. There
