months he has played the entire Keith

fully explained his popularity. His acts on

Cant Regsrding Stage Setting.

We hear a great deal of cant talked by
those who insist that the ideal stage set
ting should oe green baize, whose de-
coraton should consist OF placards in
scrbed, "fhis is street." ''Tbis is a
house" "This is heaven" In all this
there seems so me something of affocta-
tion. II Shakespeare's poetry could be
better or more reverentiy illustrates by
such means, would say; "Take away
those baubles of scenery, of costume, and
of archaeological accessoriesl'' 1t was
ell very well for David Garrick to appear
in powdered tie-wig, Georgian coat,
and silk stock ings, when he was imper-
sonating the Thane of Cawdor; but tie
created the effect (which undoubtedly be
did create) not by virtue of the incorrect
ness of his costume, out in spite Of it.
The greater knowledge OF historical
periods possessed by our theatre goers of
today, tie increased sense OF bumor, the
demand for luxury, require general and
detailed illusion in the appointments Of
the stage, and to deny 1t to theatreg oers
is to be atiectedly superior to ones age,
anu Dtlhltu Ds lnt VI tUe
time. Every artist uses the mater rial
which bis generation places ut his dis
posal. IL the painter lacked paint and
canvas. ne would content himself with
the hlg stone and piece OF chalk; il the
musician lacked a Stradivsrius he would
still oe returning TO tho old tooth-comp; I;
but why complain of tie canvas and the
paint and the Strsdivnrius! The increase
of picturosqueness in all the arts, tho
complete revolution in taste as regards
house decoration, the greater cultivation
of the eye, ell these have tended to what
has been contemptuously called the "mil-
linery" OF the drama. admit that there
has been tendency towards an over
elaborate decoration, which may have
sometimes swamp the bosuty of the poet
and here taste must always he the
srbiter but / cannot think that the
public would nowadays be so readily in
clined to listen to Shakespear's noble
dramas did they not receive thst spiendor
OF setting, which modern ingenuity and
modern resource have placed at the dis
posal OF tho stage manager OF today.
