Dear Hal: April So
The week borught us Frederick Warde
and "a Hired Girl" only these and
nothing more. It is impossible not to
feel an Arbitration for Warde, for even
when we know he is under the frowns
of the fates as he is now, he works like
a leViathan to please his audiences,
and. whether he has a hundred dollars
or q thousand in front of him, he never
for a moment relaxes the tremendous
power and Nigor he throws into his
roles. To be entirely frank with Mr..
War6ie, his decision to give up the
struggle to shine as a single star and
TO be content with the milder degree
of luminosity which proceeds from a
constellation of thCee-was timely, wise
and 1 may add, inevitable. Mr.. Warde
has, like Louis James and others OF
our friends, made money in the west
and dropped it in the east, and even
the west has of late showed signs of
ennui when the bill boards announced
Mr.. Warde in the same venerable old
chestnuts that did duty when the cen
fury was young. Mr.. Warde, Mr.. James
and Madam Rhea have all had their
eyes opened of late to the fact that
individually they are not strong enough
to breast the current, and without
doubt it occurred TO each Of them
about the same time to insert dis
Greet advertisement to the effect that
"a partner was wanted to invest with
advertiser in a paying enterprise, or
possibly that a refined actress, single,
wished to make the acquaintance OF
two actors; object, joint starring tour.
At any rate, the conjunction was
happy, and the three will make money
where individually they would have
gone on losing to the end of the CHAP
ter.
l am sorry not to be able to say that
1.-THE Hired Girl' lost money in Salt
Lake. It's rather disheartening to peo-
pie and newspapers that honestly try
to create a higher standard of public
taste, and who have upward and on
ward for their slogan, to see the way
trash and indecency like this 11ourlsh-
There's one hope ahead, and that IS that
the efforts of playwrights Cd like Mr..
Blaney will go SO far after awhile that
the public will naturally sicken of them,
and that the writers will be hoisted TO
kingdom come by their own petard.
MARGE.
P. S.ZIf Pugilist Corbett and Mana
ger Pyper meet in Salt Lake 1T must
occur TO both of them that the circles
in which this old world revolves are
wonderfully small. 1t is only a span
of time since the lively Jim bounced
into Salt Lake one day with lovely
ollie on his arm, the two of them
runa ways from San francisco. In hot
haste they hunted the nearest justice
of the peace, who CHANGED to be Mr..
Pyper, and who accomrnodatingly
yoked them together till death or the
divorce court did them part. 1t turned
out to be the latter, and with hand
some alimony attachment, Jim can read
his title clear to being a professional
with the best Of them. All the same,
If he meets Mr.. Piper, the popular
terror probably will not rims any

duction of David Belasco's drama, THE
Heart of Maryland as previously in
timated in the brief cable dispatches.
Clement Scott's paper. the Daily Tele-
graph, says in its review: The Heart

romance and love episodes. Directly
the dear old familiar tune that years
ago won so many of US to the uIcl1lesS
cause of the south, strikes up N the or
chestra, oh, who thy beauty can
withstand? Maryland My Maryland!
there is a suspicion of gentleness and
something in accord with the charming
melody to follow. The play, which
the Messrs. Gatti, in conjunction with
Mr. Charles Frohman, have produced
with so much brilliancy and such adj
n1itted success, will be almost certainty
discussed this morning by4all who were
lucky enough to be present at an I'M
usually enthusiastic first night on Sat
urday. Mrs. Leslie Carriers perform
ance is most interesting from it's inten-
sity and earnestness., In drama recent
ly we have had much k-and-water
stuff that positively the attack of Mrs.
Leslie Carter, particularly in the scene
in which she pleads for her, lover and
stabs his enemy, was most welcome.
1t would be difficult to say how many
times the curtain was raised after
every act. The cheering was incessant.
The artists were called, and bowed, now
on this side of the stage, now on that.
The author came forward to be COM
plimented, and congratulations were
showered on the Messrs. -Gatti on the
genuine success of The Heart of
Maryland "
The Daily Mail critic. said: ''That
there is room for such a play was OBJ
vious from the enthusiastic welcome.
With a mastery eye for detail, the
background of this battle story is filled
in; and with & ruthless realism worthy
of Zola's 'Debacle,' the scent of the
carnage is brought over the footlights
far more wildly than in Secret Serv-
ice No sign was wanting. that Mr..
Frohman's enterprise has achieved a
popular success"
The notices in all the other London
dailies are similar in tenor.

Anan.as and sapphira serves to show
one Of the great difficulties in the way
OF practical communism. In free
country like ours there is no need OF
any such abnormal system OF property
sharing.
The adopters OF communism as a
philosophy OF life, and not tenet OF
religion. are dreamers. They feed fan
cy with dreams of the impossible. They
shut their eyes to the actual and think
to reform the world by sitting one OF
the strongest instincts OF life. Plato
and Sir Thomas More found in such
dreams recreation from serious brain
work. but the more modern teachers of
intellectual communism seem to really
think that these dreams may yet come
true. The numerous failures in this
country, where every possible oppor-
tunity for success was afforded. have
served good purpose. They have fair
ly and effectually demonstrated the
impracticability of communism as
part of advanced civilization. The
tribal system may be all very well for
the American Indian. and communism
for the Russian peasant. but an Ameri-
can citizen wants freedom In property
as well as In person. The Zoarites
have simply become Americanized.

neutell on currcne, Reform.

From the Chicago Post Rep): Con-
gressman Boutell's speech at the Lin
coin day banquet Of the Marquette Club
was more than plea for courageous
and consistent fulfillment OF the pledges
made by the Republican party In the
last national campaign. He pointed
out that the mission of the Republican
party was really twofold-the revision
OF the present system and the preven-
ton of its reformation by the enemies
of a scientific and honest currency. So
far as immediate Republican duty Is
concerned, the way to reform Is to re-
form. The issue is simple and definite,
and the republicans must meet 1t as
It met the resumption Issue. Without
saying SO In express terms, Mr.. Boil
tell implied that the policy of the re-
publican party must be the elimination
of fiatism and the establishment OF
single gold standard. This Is ques-
ton for practical statesmanship. FOR
immediate action. The next congress
sional campaign will be fought upon
1t, as well as the next presidential
campaign. But there is, in Mr.. Bou-
tells judgment, an ultimate solution
OF the currency question upon which
sagacious statesmen would do well to
bestow serious thought. For his own
party, Mr.. Boutell Is bold enough II
venture the prediction that within the
life OF the men now active in national
politics a new monetary system Will
be established based upon the unre-
t,,t. ~ and silver Inv
weight according to the metric system.
All the jargon about ratios. relations
and parity would lose It's meaning. In
making their contracts men will stipu-
late for payment In gold or silver, not
at any arbitrary value fixed by lcgisla-
tion. but at the market value of the
metals regarded as commodities. This
arrangement would leave us room for
silver question. and the occupation
of the flatIsts will be gone. Moreover.
the plan is one which permits univers-
al adoption. and foreign exchanges can
be adjusted to 1t as readily as domestic
transactions. The soundness and hon
esty Of the plan is beyond question.
Many economists and financiers share
Mr.. Boutcll's conviction that 1t Is the
system OF the future. But 1t involves
the repeal OF all legal-tender laws and
the adoption Of a radical laissez faire
policy by the government toward cur
rency and credit. Industry does tend
In that direction, but, as we intimated
above. only students and far-sighted
financIers can profitably discuss 1t. In
practical politics 1t has as yet no place.
Parties and statesmen must deal with
questions as they confront them. and
today the Issue Is not between pos
sible ideal system. known to few. and
the present system, but between the
present system and free silver at an
arbitrary and dishonest ratio on the
one hand and the gold standard with
silver redeemable in geld coin on the
other hand.

Communism In America.

Another cOmmunistic experiment on
American soil has come to an end. The
disbanding OF the Zoarites, long
thought to be Inevitable, has now ac-
tually begun. The village OF Zoar, In
the northern corner OF Ohio, Will re-
main much the same, to all appear
ances, as before. In many ways the
community will be unchanged. but the
ownership of the property will soon
be on the Individual plan. This coun-
try is dotted all over with experiments
in communism, most OF them failures.
Some Of them grew out OF too literal
attempt to follow In the steps OF the
early Christians, as their footprints are
seen In the Acts OF the Apostles. Others
we're the crop harvested in the United
States from the seed sown by Fourier
and the Fourierites in the early half OF
the century. Zoar belongs to the first
class. A small sect of German de-
yotees, led by Baulemer, came to this
country In 1917. In many ways they
resembled the Quakers, and they un-
dertook to settle In Pennsylvania. They
CHANGED to get over the line into Ohio,
a fact which they never had occasion
to regret. The 1000 acres Of wild land
they bought for pittance proved to be
OF prime quality. A few years later
the Ohio legislature granted the COM
munity 4 charter drawn up Just to suit
the people In interest. In domestic life
the family unity is maintained. The
communism was confined to proper
ty. The community is now in posses
sion Of property valued at about mill
lion dollars. Charges Of mismanage-
ment have led to dissensions. and it
was finally concluded that the best way
was to Dissolve the company and divide
the assets.
