stgnt sort of effect upon the trend OF the
drama as whole. The hope of our stage
lies with those men who, stunning the
foreign plays of unhealthy moral teachings,
devote themselves to the presentation of
good melodrama, devoid OF the luridness
which so many persons today seem to re-
gard as indispensable 20 success. In such
plays tho moral tone is invariably good,
virtue is always triumphant and vice liz s
regularly punished as il deserves TO be.
Oi.e Of the best Of the type of actors who
are doing much for our native playwrights
by inculcating n taste for virile and clean
stage representations Is Thomas Il. Shea.
Mr.. Shea is not novice by any means.
He has been swinging around the circuit
for good many years with constantly in
.creasing success. He hos managed thea
ter in small town and is perfectly famil-

In modest, unpretentious way he has
acquired considerable wealth and not u
little reputation. For six seasons he has
been starring in rercrtory in territory in
Guiding New England and many of the
western and middle states. In every city
where ne has appeared season after season
he has made many friends
