elaborate and costly. He has avoided sci
satiOnal plays, morbid plays, probler
| plays and vulgar entertainment He ha
| hidden the ugly and upliftod the beaut
full. He has maintained mana cement a
an art and removed ii from the sordidnes

| of Burton, Wallack and Palmer, yet h
| still carries the standard erected by thOs
once worthy directors. We find him no'
as an earlier generation found him thrt
years ago-the friend of art, beauty an
of truth. Rose Eytngo, Mark Smitl
