Mrs. Kissner, on reading the letter,
spread the news. and went to very

Shakespeare and other masterful
dramatists wrote good enough plays
for them. Why should they venture
upon treacherous lakes with tried
oceans of dramatic achievement
spreading before them?
It is given only to great actors to
portray great characters. The man or
woman capable of embodying one of
Shakespeare's immortal creations needs
not the services of a modern play
wright. The broad humanity that Vivi-

Joseph Jefferson's brief visit dur
ing the past week suggests some
thoughts concerning actors.
1t has become the fashion these days
to decry the so-called "old school"
Blase individuals are wont to thrust
their hands in their pockets in front
of the theater, while the play is in
progress and tell you that Jefferson,
for instance. is a back number, that
the people are beguiled by their affec-
ton for the man, that he never pro-
duces a new play, that Henry Irving
can't act, that Terry is superannuated,
and, in short, that all the old timers,
are tagging superfiuous' upon the
modern stage.
Queer, isn't it that in other walks of
life, in business, in the liberal profess
sions, in literature and art. you do not
hear this irreverent knocking of ell
derby men and women whose genius
and brains have commanded distinc-
ton?
Jefferson never produced a new play.
Why should he? Neither did Edwin
Booth nor his brother before him.
Neither did Macready nor Edwin For
rest, nor E. L. Davenport, nor Kemble,

these pretty pictures and by the dainty
costumes of the women. There is an
unusually large number of women in
the cast, several of them young and
attractive. Few dramas afford so
many opportunities for the display of
feminine frills and furbelows, so that
the quaint and airy costuming of the
play is in itself source of pleasure
to the feminine spectator.
Then the love story! What woman's
heart, old or young, or what mans
either. for that matter, does not thrill
responsive to good love story? Love,
in its youthful happiness and misery,
and love in its older, sadder phases.

this play. The pretty scenery, the
handsome gowns. the singing of the
old plantation melodies. the dancing.
the rich comedy of the darkies, the
gay festivities of their aristocratic
masters and mistresses. are the trim
mings which are used to add to the at

they have added greatly to the popu-

especially the Halloween celebra-

songs, dances and pretty girls as a
