The Craze For Athletic Trophies.

such a play "a Der Schatten" until after
its resemblance TO THE Second Mrs.
Tanqueray" had been brought to his atten

1t appears that the German drama was
produced in Berlin In 1889 by Paul Lindau,
the author. The play was successful, but
1t was thought rather broad, and that is al
legged to have been the reason why IL never
reached England and America. The manu-

nounced IL as a plagiarism Of Der Schat-

Mr.. Pinero's friends very promptly and
properly inquired how he should have

this is the case against England's foremost

years, and whose concededly original work

ed ordinarily, for the career Of that trife
will always be pointed to AS one Of the
American theatrical phenomena.
"A Temperance Town" Is unlike any
thing that Hoyt has ever written with the
exception of "A Midnight Bell" II deals
with the absurdities of the Vermont anti
liquor laws, but outside of the character
ization-all Of which il perfect-it is not a
sincere or fair picture. IL would indeed
be strange If all prohibition advocates were
either sneaky or vindictive and all liquor
drinkers noble creatures. But that is what
"A Temperance Town" appears to teach
nevertheless.
Mr.. Hoyt tells rather interesting story,
and In the comedy and farce sections of the
play his work is of high order OF merit,
but he is not happy in his efforts at pro
tracted pathos, which is generally bathos;
or In his attempts at heroism, which Is
fustian pure and simple. But, in spite of
all this, he Is such master of stage tech
pique and knows so well how to interject
fun into the dull artificially sentimental
spots before they become really wearisome
that, as have said before, believe that
"A Temperance Town" will develop into
one of his greatest successes A few sacri-
legious speeches should be eliminated on
the score Of propriety, and the 94-year-old
man should not be permitted to sing the
single song of the piece. 1t is in decidedly
bad taste as done at present.
"A Temperance Town" Is wisely called
on the bills "a play" 1t would be hard TO
put II under any separate classification, like
melodrama, comedy or farce, for it partakes
literally of all three Of these elements, of
which the melodrama is least good. Mr..
Hoyt has done much excellent farcical
work, but he has shown in "A Temperance
Town" and "A Midnight Bell" that he
knows what real comedy is, and IL he de
sires to rise above the old things he should
write high grade comedy. believe he

honor is so generally recognized. II Mr..
Pinero is guilty Of plagiarism. It would
have been an easy matter to prove 1t.
"Der Schatten" will be produced shortly
in this country by the company at the Irv-
ing Place German theater, and as "The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray" will be the piece
de resistance of Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall dur
ing the coming tour Of this country Amer
leans will have an opportunity to decide
the matter intelligently and upon its merits.
1t would not appear that single play
was worth all the talk that has been ex-
pended upon this one, but the affair as
sumes a different complexion when 1t is
stated that the royalties paid the author Of
''The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" amount TO
several hundred dollarsa week. Mr.. Pinero
may console himself with the reflection
that very few persons in New York believe
him to be plagiarist.
