TEMPERAMENTISTS.

Temperamentists! Labouchere has
coined or resurrected the word, and
what a good mouthful 1t is and how
lengthy a procession it conjures UP
lar adjective winged" could never be
applied, but temperamentists is not
one of these. Already 1t has flown
from that small class of pIayer-folk to
whom Labouchere fitted it to that other
class that strut the stage of life and
seek the limelight with even more per-
sistence than the real wearer of the
buskin and the sock. THE crying evil
OF the present day is the question of
temperament" says Labouchere in a
recent article. An actors or an act
ress' proudest possession is tempera-
ment. 1t serves as a cloak to incom-
-petence; it is a snowy mask to blind
the eyes of the audience to the actors
Ignorance of his or her part. 1t kills
good acting, because the actor becomes
content to rely for all his or her effects
on some personal trick, information or
peculiarly.
But when one thinks of the tempera-
mentists, one does not think of the men
and the women behind the footlights.
A procession of far more important in
diyiduals passes before the eye. First
of all comes the strenuous man, on
horseback, of course, white teeth flash
Ing ivory smiles on the grandstand
eyes seeking the limelight, bearing self
conscious. He is the great tempera-
mentist of them all, this Theodore
Roosevelt. police commissioner, Rough
Rider, mighty hunter and president of
these United States. The personal
trick, intonation, popularity" which
were part of the temperament in the
beginning were brought into high re-
lief because ''the public gives this sorry
device the warmest encouragement"
And there is that tremendous. egotist.
the mighty 81" most spectacular of all
the continental rulers, William of Ger
many. And behind him is the great
Joseph Chamberlain, whose impassive
air and eyeglass have kept the world
guessing since the man from Birming-
ham first succeeded in pushing himself
IN the limelight. And Whistler has
died so recently that his shade must
claim place in that procession, for
certainly the American artist was one
of the greatest apostles of spectacular
Ism, in other words, he was one of the
Wcrlds greatest temperamentists He
appreciated the value of throwing a
paint brush in the public's face"
says Labouchere of the tenpera-
mentists to be found in the ranks of
the player folk: "They are often inter-
estlng in drawing-room comedy. but
sometimes, alas, they are called upon
Tor great emotion, or even passion.
Then they fail hopelessly, and mostly
become hopelessly vulgar" The greater
femperamentists have the saving grace
of real ability. When failure comes to
them, 1t is generally the result of hay-
~ UNIV +" SouuSe oI dcllon that
circumstances force upon them. The
public sees them in new light, it
ceases to be amused, it loses interest.
They are vulgar in this, only that they
think the applause of the gallery more
worth while than the near realization
OF ideals. They help to make life pic
trresque, but they seldom aid in giving
1t solidity.

admitted that in the navy of the Unit

greatest gunners in the world, but no
such showing as this made by young
Treanor has ever been made before.
The naval and military experts of the
world will wait with some anxiety for
the detailed report on Treanor's work
The proposition is made that some
public recognition should be accorded
Treanor. He is worthy of it. Two
years ago he shipped as novice, and
has already made himself expert in the
pointing of great guns. Such indus
try in the cultivation of undoubted tai
ent is worthy of recognition. Treanor
has done something which will make
much for the increase of the regard
in which we are held by possible enc
mics. for, after all, it is the man be-
hind the gun that is to be reckoned
with when the fighting begins. All
honor to Gunner Treanor and his most
excellent eye.
