Dear Hal:
The theater rushed 10 Grismer and

back and stem the tide of popular dis
content that was looming up into a
howl over Loie Fuller: Loie was per

the public sat in a state of sami-stupor,
while half a dozen local artists, who are

charity concerts, served up pretty

lowed by La Loie in a dance that lasted
10 minutes. For that we paid our dollar

be, and as the clocks were striking TO-
We all went out and crew bitterly.
Aside from the hoax practiced in MAX

lalty company il which Fuller was the
oVertowering figure, (for there was not
a whisper on the three-sheet bills of

In conversation yesterday, Mr..
Royle explained the purpose and OBJ
ject of One Plus One Equals Three"
III the following way:
The best people we know are not
above weaknesses, follies, sins even,
and the bad people we know do not go
about assaulting the honor of women
who detest them, and being officiously
wicked just to give the absurd hero the
chance TO foil them and get a curtain
call. Ny object has been to get away
from the heroes, heroines and villains
of the stage and depict just everyday
people as we know them
This is the object of every thought
1ul writer for the stage, but the mod
ern school, While it depicts human ma
ture, goes to the other extreme and
depicts nothing but the ugly side of
human nature. But the truth will be
found in Aristotle's golden mean

bad, but both and NEITHER

night before SIS, when the curtain will
rise. Out of regard for those who take
the trouble to come early, and for the
sake of the actors, those who come
late Will be asked to sit in the back
rows, and will not be shown their seats
until the act is over. The Justice of
this will certainly be appreciated even
by the tardy ones. There ought to be
no long and tedious waits in Mr.
Royle's play The entire action takes
place without a change of scene, and
there are only four acts.

ought 10 resent with the heaviest fine
he dares TO in1ict.
But, as I have said, the taste of La
LOie was washed out of the public
mouth by the return of our old-time
friends Grismer and Davies. Not long
ago l was signing for one of the good
old English melodrdmas Of the type OF

that the episode of mis- appearing in

villain il more betting an opera Ooufte
than a melodrama; that the way IN
which the entire dramdtis personae,
women as well as men, came 20 be
transported from the green Wales of
England to the heart Of Zululand was a
feat that none but magician like Mr..
Vane could have dared to think of ac-
comprising; that the terrific explosion

harm hair on the head OF one of its
