WRITTEN . THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
There is no one other feature of a play
which so makes for success as an enthrall-
ing love scene. 1T is as important to a
drama as a good whistleable tune is to mu-
steal comedy, or a thrilling, soul-stirring
climax to melodrama. A play without a.
love scene in which more or less "cooing''

by the ingenue and her best young man.

French dramatist said that the secret of
writing a successful play was first TO pre-

misunderstanding or mischief. and then
bring them together at the final curtain.

however, that the romantic drama had

time-a drama was then either a tragedy, a
comedy or a history play. Such a thing as
putting a happy ending to a tragedy and

little volume, bound in light blue, which
tells the interesting and pathetic story of
the correspondence between two teckel dogs.
Let It be explained that the teckel is that
race usually known outside Of Germany as
the dachshund.
You must nave lived in Germany to ap-
prec.ate fully the cult and worship OF the
teckel. or dachshund. which exists there.
Teckel clubs exist throughout the country.
Their members meet together and talk elo-
uuently Of the merits of the dachshund. In
Germany the teckel is reckoned the most
Intelligent of all dogs. One thing is certain.
and 1t is that the teckel seems to exercise
an extraordinary fascination over It's owner.

woman, married to a ~well-known German

the possessor of dachshunds which are spe-
cial favorites of the Crown Prince of Ger

PUTTY Well, i do not know who she is,
or. at all events, she does not wish her

Schnauzel is a young, roughly-brought-up
dachshund, or teckel, living in the country,
and is the property of a gamekeeper at
waldhaus. Teckelhof, in Schleswig. He adj
vertises in the Teckel Club newspaper that
he would much like to correspond with a
town dog.
This brings a reply from an aristocratic.
highly bred town dog, Buby. owned by Miss
Violet Hope Darling. living in the luxurious.
Hotel Bristol. Berlin. His father was the
famous Preussischer Teckel Schatz, and his
mother Diana Of the Kingdom of Wurttem-

what IL must be like to live in the Hotel

Amusing are the descriptions the two
teckels give one another of the way they
live. Schnauzel wishes for a photograph of
Buby. This is easily arranged. for, as
Buby says, his mistress wearies him much
by taking constant snapshots OF him.

Mr.. Carnegie and the National Theater

MT. carnegie ana the National Theater
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your Wednesdays issue, In an inter-
view with myself relating to a national
theater in America, occurs this sentence:
1.-The movement Ito secure an endowed
theateD has also secured an. offer from Mr..
Carnegie to endow a play house, with the
essential qualification that the government
should take an interest in the affair, and
the introduction of the resolution by Mr..
Miers is the logical next step in the plan
Of meeting the requirement of Mr.. Car
negie"
Through an inadvertence, possibly of
transcription, this would lead the reader to
the assumption that Mr. Carnegie had spe-
officially undertaken corporation with the
government This, SO far as 1 know, is not
the case. 1t is hoped, in view Of his general
offer, reported two years ago from London,
to endoW a theater in America and his SUBJ
sequently reported expressions in this
country that he regarded it as the part of
the government to establish an endowed
play house. to induce Mr.. Carnegie or 9TH
ers Of wealth to act with the government.
This correction is but just as Mr. Carnegie
could not but take exceptions to the asser-
ton that he had specifically undertaken
to act with the government.
