THE PUBLIC TASTE -,
IN STAGE PLAYS.
People Undoubtedly Like a Home
Story Of Life in it's Simple,
Natural Conditions.
By Olga Nethersola.

That there are two classes of play
goers freely admit There is the one
class vast body which requires en-
tertainment of light and varied ma
ture, and there is the other class (per-
haps not so vast) which is content to
look through the mirror which the ac-
tor holds to life. To the latter class
it is my honor and privilege to ap-
peal.
If an author should bring me one of
his untried, unread works. would look
to see if it represented a simple, natur-
al phase of life, if it were, dramatical-
ly treated and If it were light and
bright, and yet had the sinuous thread
of passion winding its way through the
story as 1t winds its way through the
lives OF the most commonplace of us.
If his play is satisfactorily answered
these demands 1 should think that he
had written play well calculated to
appeal to and satisfy an audience, and
l should look for its production with
some amount of confidence.
The simplest stories are undoubtedly
those which appeal most strongly to
the complexities of human life. nor do
they desire the discussion of problems.
however much you may sugar the pill
Audiences delight in the reflection of
their daily lives. An incident. forcibly
reminding them of themselves and rep
resented on the stage, is what attracts.
Take some of the most successful
plays in this country and see how sim
pie and direct are the stories. That
beautiful pay, "Shore Acres" so far as
its story is concerned it perfectly sim
pie. The airs from the worlds grand
operas that have lived are the simple
ones. The simple things OF life live
with us.
l think that the simplicity OF the
story of Carmen" was what first at
tracted my attention to it's possibilities
as drama. l observed the brightness
and naturalness of Don Jose. full of
careless, happy manhood at the outset
OF his career, desiring nothing but to
win promotion and renown as a SOL
der, how little by little he became in
yolved with Carmen, who dragged him
down. down the paths. Of shame and
dishonor finally hurting him into the
abyss of irretrievable ruin and despair.
That is all! Just a story of a mans
downfall! And yet all powerful in its
humanity.
Audience wants to be- able to say
How like so and so, or such a thing,"
A generally accepted axiom is that the
demand regulates the supply, but in the
case of plays this is decidedly not so.
Though there be such a vast army OF
aspiring playwrights, how very few
ever strike the right note None
know but the unfortunate managers
whose duty it is to read their works.

that he had for those roles two actors

that he did not care to risk love scene

THE NEW GAME IS GOLF POOL"
Invented by n Golf Enthusiast As n
Recrnnfinn for IIis Ernr In

Invented by Golf Enthusiast As a
Recreation for His Evenings.
A new game has just been, devised by
an enthusiastic golf player, who de-
lights to spend his evenings over the
pool table in the room of his pet coun-
try club. The game he has christened
golf pool" and that is really the best
possible name for it.
In playing the game the regulation
pool table is used, such as is to be
found in billiard rooms. Starting at
one of the corner pockets. mark the
figure / in front of the jaws of the
pocket with a piece OF billiard chalk.
Move along to the side pocket ard
mark that in the same manner, only
using the numeral 2. Proceeding
around the table in the same manner
will number the corner pockets !, 9, 4.
and 6. The two side pockets viii bear
the numbers 2 and 5. The table is now
really marked for a six-hole course and
the play may begin.
Only two balls are used, and not the
full pool set At the start-of the
golf ball is placed on the spot al the
end of the table where the nun berE I
and 6 holes are. The driver" bail is
placed on the spot at the other end Of
the table and the opening drive made
with a cue in the ordinary manner OF
making a billard-shot, the object be-
ing to put the golf ball in hole ].
Should the player succeed, the golf"
bill is taken from the pocket and plac-
ed on the centre spot, and in every play
for the next hole thereafter the ball Is
placed in the centre spot. the player
shooting from wherever the enc ball
may have rolled on the table. The
round OF six holes is made in this man
ner. the player doing it in the least
number of shots winning the game.
In place Of the usual hazards AMI
bunkers penalties are made. In this
manner: The player makes hole l on
his first trial: in shooting for hole 2 he
foozles and the cut ball drops in No. 4.
This counts two points against him and
he must continue replacing the cue
bali on the lower spot II on the next
Ir1aI ne makes the NO. HOie, the score
for that hole is four shots.
On his trial for hole 3, should both
balls drop in the wrong pockets, the
lower spot Luck being good to the
count is four points against him. The
golf ball is again placed on the up
per end spot and the cue bah on the
player on-4fle next shot. the golf ball
drops In the third hole and his score
for the three holes is nine points.
