THE RICHMOND DIsPATCH-sUNDAY. SEPTEMBER "a, 1899
DRAMAS NEW THEME
THE STAGE HAS SUCH IN CHILDREN
or THE GHETTO.
ATTRACTIONS FOR CURRENT WEEK
The Biiou Opens ro-Morrow-south-
ern Minstreis and Mildred and
Houcieve mt the Academy-ynude-
Vile Dill and the Opera.

The eyes Of the theatrical world were
on Washington last week. for I'm the
national capital Israel Zangwilrs much
talked-of Hebrew play, "The Children of
the Ghetto" was produced Tor the first
time on any stage From all accounts.
the play was a most emphatic success.
and IN its presentation a new dramatic
theme has been given to the stage. Mr..
Zangwill, it seems, has been true to his
promise to make from his book a drama
that would be Of interest to all classes
and all creeds. while there may be in
the dialogue some lines that are not
readily understood by those not Of the
Jewish race, and who therefore may have
70 knowledge Of some of the religious
laws so rigidly observed by the orthodox
Hebrews, yet these few illusions in no
wise prevent any intelligent auditor
from comprehending the meaning which
is conveyed.
In tine Children OF the Ghetto" the
Hebrew has been placed seriously upon
q stage where, for too long a time, he
has been treated only as a character TO
bring forth the laughter Of the audience.
He is shown in his home life. and the
picture is drawn by master hand-that
Of one whose heart and soul were in the
work of truthfully portraying the TRAITS,
customs, and habits Of his race.
Nothing was left undone that would
tend TO make the production complete
in its every detail, and the result was a
performance that more than came up to
the expectations of those who have been
impatiently awaiting the test Of the first
night. The cast is a most admirable
one. and includes Wilton Lackaye and
Blanche Bates. AS "Reb" ShemuCl, M.
Lackaye is said TO have a part in which
he is better, from an artistic standpoint,
than he was in his famous "Svengali."
Miss Bates is highly praised for her in
tollgent Interpretation of Hannah. role
which calls for the portrayal Of giriish
traits as well as the deep emotions Of
self-sacrifcing woman.
That master of stagecraft, James A.
Herne, the author-actor, directed the re-
hearsals. and to him must be credited,
in no small degree, much Of the success
that attended the production

It requires some stretch Of the imagi-

Stuart Robson with role that Is almost
tragic Yet it is just such character
that the comedian is essaying this sea-
son. TO me, any sentence Stuart Robson
utters must Of necessity carry numor
with it. His enunciation is such that L

whose mother made the suffering sta

directions. and when the worthy man at

but my little boy likes to hear you talk"

voice Of Mr.. Robson's, and if he were
reading Scripture, think l would have
some difficulty in keeping down The
corners of my mouth.
And by the way, as to this reference

probably few persons know that the
comedian is a most pronounced atheist
and one OF his hobbies is to collect every
newspaper clipping. he can get hold Oh
in which IS related the misdoing of some
CLERGYMAN. No doubt, in THE Gadhy'

THE HILL BILL.
Secretary Gage of the Treasury Depart.
ment Agrees With Measure With One
Exception.


Exception.
Washington, Jan. 19.-Secretary Gage
today appeared before the House COM
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures to explain his views of the Hill
bill to define and fix the standard of
value and regulate coinage The bill
makes the gold dollar the standard of
value.
Secretary Gage gave his general APP
prevail of the measure, but took strong
exception to section II, which proposes
to assess one-quarter of one per cent
annually upon the capital surplus and
undivided profits of national banks.
The secretary contrasted the burdens
under which national banks labored,
compared with trust companies.
He explained that national banks
were compelled to pay in local taxa
ton two and one-half times as much
as trust companies, and they were re-
CURED to carry large reserves which
trust companies We're not. He did not
think 1t fair that this additional burden
should be placed upon them. With that
exception, the secretary agreed that
the bill was feasible and practicable so
far as the treasury department was
concerned. Secretary Gage submit
ted a substitute bill with section II
omitted and various other minor
changes.
AT the request of Mr.. Hartman of
Montana, the secretary agreed in a few
days to appear and reply to certain
general questions which were asked of
the gold standard advocates at the
Omaha monetary debate last Septem-
Der.
A. ]. Warner one of the leading
double standard advocates, was invited
by the committee to give his views at
the suggestion of Mr. Hartman. He
argued against the establishment of
the single gold standard. He protest.
ed against the increasing power of ma
tional banks. In the issue of notes.
they would be governed only and sole
ly by self-interest He declared that
all the authorities upon both sides of
the money question and upon both sides
of the ocean, secuted the idea of bas-
ing currency upon property values.
