scope for one actress, is an unfOrtu-
nate character. No one likes her and
it takes nothing short of genius to
force recognition for her. We believe
that Camille" is responsible for the
enormous crop Of hybrid productions
which have followed in its wake, but
Camille" was an inspiration, while
THE Tigress" and others Of It's class
are little better than base limitations.
The mistake made by most dramatists
lies in the fact that they assume that
sexual attractions, perpleXities and
intrigues are all of life instead of part
of it. They make no allowance for the
fact that even old passions take new
forms; that hate has new expressions
and ambition new concerns.
Ibsen, then, is the prophet Of the
future. He marks an era, as surely
as did Moltiere, Racine, Goethe and
Hugo. He could not have written in
the past, as the conditions under
which he was inspired did not exist,
As Ariosto was pervaded by the last
flare of dying mediHyalism, as eau
tier, Prosper, Merimee aud George
Sand were inspired by romanticism, Sc
Ibsen stands sharply defined against
the realism of today. His men and
women are intellectual factors; we
are done with the claptrap machinery
of the mimic world when we enter the
region of his creations. When we
read his plays we realize how stilted
and common place are the usual plati'
tudes of stage talk. We are through
with that hoary mOnstrosity the solil
oquy wherein the audience is tolo
what the dramatist had not the wit Il
infer. We are no longer to depend or
mechanical contrivanceS and calcium
| lights, but to draw upon ready brains
and apt interpretations.

OTHER KNIGHTS

A political order known as Knights
of Reciprocity is rapidly growing
throughout the country. The ques-
tions propounded and to which the APP
plicant for membership must answer
in the affirmative in order to be adj
mitted are not SO bad. Read them:
Are YOU in favor OF the perpetuity Of
our union? Are you in favor Of just and
liberal pen,ions to all honorably dis
charged sailors and soldiers OF the re-
public? Are you in favor of the prOtrc-
ciOn of American industry? Are YOU in
favor of fair and equitable reciprocity be-
tween all interests on the American con-
tinent? Are you In favor of fair and
equitable reciprocity between all interests
in our nation? Are you in favor of an in
telligent ballot, honestly cast and counted?
Are you in favor Of DISTINGUISHING every
citizen who offers or accepts bride to in
fluence a ballot?

Ignatius Donnelly, one of the bright
particular stars" Of the pied aggrega-
tion, which came near being known as
the Peoples Party, must begin to feel
again as he did when he failed to prove
that Bacon wrote Shakespeare, as he
got into a bigger failure on his last
political move than he did in his
icOnoclastic book. But he probably
feels very badly all the time, and it
has got so that it doesn't hurt him
much. a man who would spend a
great part Of lifetime trying to prove
that as mean man as Francis Bacon
did the work that has been attributed
to as good fellow as William Shake
speare, must have been actuated by
the contagious meanness of the man
whom he endeavored to steal another
mans fame for, to crown himself and
the other man withal.

THE COMING DRAMA

There is promise of new and better
character OF drama for the future.
The drama that will not depend upon
horse-play, scenic effect and calcium
lights for It's success, but that will APP
peal to the intelligence Of people.
ANY other sort Of drama" should be
tabboed by intelligence and relegated
TO the circus tent where it really be-
longs. 1t has been claimed that lbsen
has inaugurated this and yet his
"Dora" under the title The Doll
House" was not drawing success last
winter in New York. 1t will win in
the end, however-the idea willard
it is possible that in this instance the
failure, if failure it can be called, was
owing to the fact that the drama, as
distinctly stated, was not written
with an eye to 1.-The leading lady," the
"soubrette." the walking gent or
the "first old man" This will react
in its own good time.
Ibsen's plan-we are assuming that
he is TO inaugurate a modern drama
is to select certain characters for de-
lineation and then use others as they
naturally come into the range Of his
drama. The auditor is made to feel
that these people are part of life and
that other people meet them and in
fluence them for awhile and then pass
out Of their lives. Then in his treat
ment Of women Ibsen has distinctly
departed from the old standard.
These women are centers Of action.
They react upon men, rise in justice
above them at times. 1t is an ex-
tremely difficult feat to pass from the
colorless, characterless, passive hero
inc who has been languishing in the
dungeon of the romantic drama to a
contemplation Of those superb living
figures. They are women who have
other lives to live aside from the love
life. 1t is claimed that Ibsen's dramas
are the door to future efforts.
If that is true-and we sincerely
trust such is the case-we are to have
relief from plays built around char
acters and to have instead those which
have motives Of their own. Each
epoch must have its own art says
some one, and indeed it is time
that reform should begin somewhere
