Somebody disputes my statement of
last week that theatrical critics should
concern themselves solely with the act
ing OF the actors, and the play, and
avoid personalities. This somebody says
that some OF the best critics 10 what
ventured to say they should not do; that
it is common thing for a critic to call
in question social peculiarities or irreg-
ularities and indulge in ridicule at the
actors expense. The fact that critics do
this does not make it right. 1t is very
easy thing to say or write that Frank
Daniels looks like sawed off cigar store
sign, or that this or that actress is net
beautiful, or that Tom Keene has voice
like fog horn; but we would hardly digni
fy such remarks by calling them tbeatri-
cal criticism. Criticism certainly has
higher function than the advertisement
OF crooked legs and other alleged per-
sonal deformities. Ii is easier by far, to
indulge in ridicule or sarcasm along
this line than to write a reasonable
criticism, and sometimes these fiippant
remarks make an effective appeal to
certain class of readers. But it is not
theatrical criticism. any more than call
ing Richard Harding Davis an egotisti.
cal dude is literary criti cism.

Of the company had played the leading
parts for which they were particularly
fitted many times before. But the
younger members of the company had
hard work, indeed. They were often
compelled to learn their parts at days

Lincoln has some theatre habitues
whose judgment OF play comes pretty
near to being correct. Charley Magoon,
manages to see the best things at home

before he became a manager. Frank
Zehrung has been a constant theatre
goer. He doesn't care much for the
heavy class Of plays; but when it comes
to the popular attractions OF the day he

Kindergarten Pupils show Unwonted
Emotion at Ending Their studies.

There was a sorrowful time down at
the kindergarten on Tuesday morning
when Miss Creelman announced the fact
that school was closed. At first the chill
dren did not realize that they could not
come to the kindergarten next day, nor
the next. nor the next nor perhaps Tor
many days, and they enjoyed their open
ing exercises and their occupations as
usual, but when IL came TO the singing OF
their good-by songs, standing hand In
hand on the circle for the last time. the
sad truth came home to them and many
of them refused to be comforted.
one little fellow. seeing signs OF emotion
upon his neighbours face. turned. and
looking at her seriously said: ola. are
you goin' to cry?" This was all that Ola
needed TO make her cry, and seeing which
Andrew cried with her.
When the good-byes were all said and
the little ones started home they hung
about the door in little groups. loath to
leave. AS the teachers were talking over
the closing OF the school a crowd OF chill
dren came running back and burst into
the room TO get one more look at the kim
dergarten and the dear teachers.
However, although the children are dis
missesd in compliance with the order OF
the board OF health. work has not stopped.
Miss Creelman Is taking advantage OF this
enforced holiday TO help those pupils in
the training class who entered late in the
term. Miss Creelman, who lives at 10
South Twelfth street, would also be
pleased TO see any who contemplate join
ing the training class in September. 1t is
very important that all new pupils should
enter at the same time, since the class
will probably be large and individual
work will be Impossible.
