NEWS OF THE THEATERS
ORGANIZED OPPOSITION To THE
THEATRICAL SYNDICATE.
Fuss About COmmerciaIism Conceals
Lack of
to BE a star.

Harrison Grey Fiske, Maurice Campbell
and James X Hackett ave established, in
the Manhattan Theater, New York, an in
dependent booking agency. Unlike the in
~iquitous syndicate, they will not charge
booking fees. Mr.. Fiske is editor of the
Dramatic Mirror. manager of Mrs. Fiske
and the Manhattan Theater and the prin-
cipal enemy of the theatrical syndicate.
Maurice Campbell is husband and manage
of Henrietta Crosman, an actress little
known in Indianapolis. Mr.. Hackett used
to be a Frohman star, but now he is his
own manger and is preparing to engage in
other ventures.
This organization, al economic necessity,
shows how foolish is the railing at the
theatrical syndicate as a syndicate. Charles
Frohman and his associates nave estab-
lished the theatrical business on a sub
stantial basis. As a business it is more
respectable than ever before. The objec-
ton to be made to the syndicate is that
it's members are devoid of artistic purpose.
Either their aim is to become millionaires
by pandering to the ignorant or they them
selves are ignorant of what intelligence
and refinement mean. This vital fault is
not the result of their being banded to-
gether in a syndicate. Mrs. Fiske, the
high priestess Of dramatic art, who is filled
and overlooking with scorn for the base
octopus. Will herself produce a S0-called
biblical drama next season. James K.
Hackett has. for the most part, confined
himself to slashing about with a sword
and wearing a hat with a long feather in
it. Last season he acted in a dramatiza-
ton of a novel entitled THE Crisis a
play that was such a reading of the tangled
motives of the civil war as one might ex-
rnanf from n child NJ H0aEaff will a co in
be seen in this play next season. 1t is not
meant that the play is far below Mr.. Hack
ett's ability, for he displays no flash of
genius, to say the most.
Theatrical business has nothing to do
with dramatic art.
Henry Woodruff, who pleased many by
his performance of the Imp in n. C. Good

Twenty-one," is to be a star next season

Sam Bernard, Marie CahiII, May Robson

Rose Coghlan will act in "Alice of Old

vaudeville, because sometimes she has fol-
lowed a trained pig and at others has pre-
ceded contortionists or bell ringers. This,
of course, is not art, but is alice of Old

Ridiculous Reformers.
New York Evening Post.

New YORK Evening POST.
That lack of humor which is too often as
ISOLATED with the reforming temperament
is strikingly illustrated in the controversy
over the launching of the cruiser Denver.
The young woman who has been asked TO
preside at the christening is being pressed
by representatives of a Denver temperance
association to substitute a bottle of min
eral water for the traditional bottle Of
champagne. Now it should be said that in
the eyes of sea-faring men a ship which is
christened with water is not christened at
all, and these worthy ladies are setting up
a very new reform against an immemorial
custom. Furthermore, meeting these we'll
meaning persons on their own ground, ii is
hard to see how an advocate of total abSti-
hence can object to the destruction of a
bottle of wine under any circumstances. If
the champagne bottle were smashed ig-
nobly in the gutter, it would be an occa-
sion of rejoicing, but the rum" or the
Observation-Disclosures the echnical term for
sparkling wine may be-is just as much
removed from the common stock Of dan
gerous beverages when the bottle is
smashed on the bow of a cruiser. Where
so much needs to be done for the cause OF
temperance, and so many useful agencies
for this purpose exist. ii is a pity that the
jealous should waste their time over ship
la~unchings. 1t is important for reformers
of all sorts not TO cross ill-advisedly the
line which parts the ridiculous from the
sublime.

Crawford and Bernhardt.
Philadelphia Times.

TIL account which Marion Crawford fur
nishes to a Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Mail of how he came to write Fran
cesca da Rimini" for Sarah Bernhardt is
very entertaining. He met the great actress
in New York. She asked him if he would
write her a play. He proposed Francesca
ga Rimini," as he had been at work for
three years on a romance dealing with
thirteenth century history. She thought
we'll of the suggestion, and Mr.. Crawford
began to write the play at sea on his way
back to Europe. 1t was finished in English
and put into French by MARCEL Schwob,
who had earlier translated Hamlet for
Bernhardt. The great tragedienne was so
We'll pleased with the work that she &C
cepted II at once, for which reason and
others, too, no doubt, Mr.. Crawford re-
marks: 1T is one Of the ~pleasantest ex-
periences of my life to be associated with
Nine. Sarah Bernhard. She is perfectly
wonderful" The author, however, INDUCES
in nc prophecies as to the fate of the play.
He wisely wards off this question by de-
