II is easy 10 assert that people go to the
theater only to be amused, when the posi-
b1llty of being otherwise entertained is so
infrequent. People have more serious emo
tons than laughter now, as of yore and
the actor who can thrill them with his
power or awaken their sympathy bv his
eioqua nee was never more sure of public
applause nor of golden dollars But the
stage of today, though it has evolved MANY
sterling plays, does not develop the powers
which tragedy demands, and possibly for
that reason the Booths, Barretts ct al
have left no worthy male successors 1t is
gratifying, however, to know that in Mod
Jeska there is still one of the great artists
even though she is alone, and who knows
but what she will bridge over the chasm
that separate from the dawn of a great
tragedy revival?
