New York SUM-


Run your eye down the list of star
actors and actresses, or the cast in
dramatic play bill, and you win find
only a small ratio of names that are
synonymous for prohigacy. The time
when individual disgrace was ac-
counted a valuable asset in the show
business is past and gone. Almost all
the eminent persOnages of the Ameri-
can stage are of good character. The
moral average of the dramatic profess
sion is as high as that of the legal
or the medical. The steady gain in
this regard has had much to do with
the advancement in the art of acting.
The recruits during the past decade
have been overwhelmingly by young
men and girls of good rearing and edu-
cation. Culture has become common
back of the theatrical curtain. Ladies
and gentlemen are in such a heavy ma
jority there that the less seemly mi
nority is generally dominated by the
prevailing politeness. A writer in
Everybody's Magazine makes those
points on behalf of the theatrical pro-
fession, and quotes the late John Gill
bert thus:
"One reason why I think we actors
are becoming gentlemen is that We
treat actresses as ladies. Forty years
ago profanity was the ordinary thing
behind the scenes. Twenty years ago.
even in as well-conducted a theatre
as Wallack's, there had to be placards
fOrbidding it. Nowadays, no such rule
needs to be displayed. Why, 1 utter

witness HQyt's greatest farce, "A Tex
as Steer" which is the first offering
at the Salt Lake theatre, and which
is still under the management and per-
Harry Emery. "a Texas Steer is per
haps the most laughable satire on
American politics. The story is familiar
to all play-gOers. 1t opens in Texas
with the election of Maverick Brander,
the cattle king to congress- which
home and without his knowledge or
consent The Brander family is next
seen-in Washington, where, eventually
the Texans overcome the cattle ranch
customs of by-gone days. The climax
of the farce is the visit in Washing
ton of Messrs. Yell, Brag and Blow of
Texas on important legislative mat
ters, the dinner they attend at. the
Brander mansion and the pastime of
shooting up the place in which they
engage.
There are more laughs in "a Texas
Steer than in half the comedies on
the road.

Miss Spong has a mascot in the form

has little history. The actress found

Then she confided to Miss Spong that

Henrietta Crosman has decided to
abandon her project to do Twelfth
Night" and will instead be seen this
season in a big production of AS You
Like It" 1t is a well-knOwn fact that
Miss Crosman contemplates a Shakes
perean production every. year. Start
ing off with 'As You Like It." she is
much more apt to score a brilliant sue
cess than with Twelfth Night" as at
first purposed. This change of plan
was decided by Maurice Campbell, Miss
C-osman's manager, last week. and the
general opinion seems to be that the
change is for the better although Miss
Crosman still intends to produce
Twelfth Night at some future time
Judging from Miss Crosman's perform
ance in Mistress Nell" and her apti-
tude for that style of comedy. she
should make a most brilliant RosaIind
This at least seems TO be the concen-

Miss Crosman's coming appearance as
Rosalind have already taken it for
granted that she will score a brilliant
success.
