G1sr OF PUBLICITY PROGRAMME.

From the following paragraph the reader will get
nutshell the so-called publicity power of the de-
partment of commerce law about which there is
much partisan hubbub:
"The said commissioner shall have power and
thory to make under the direction of the secretary OF
commerce and labor, diligent investigation into the or
carnations, conduct and management of the business
OF any corporation joint stock company corporate
combination engaged in among the several
states and with foreign nations excepting
rlers subject to act to regulate commerce. approved

as will enable the president of the United States to
make recommendation to for legislation tor the
regulation of such and to report such data to
the president from time time he shall require and
president may direct, shall be made public"
1t will be in the above text of the act ITSELF
that there is publicity provided for except such the
president may see fit to give There is compuson on
the part of the trusts furnish anything the public
For that matter there is penalty they refuse fur
nsh information to the commissioner to the presi
dent The president is not compelled to publicity of
any facts he may may be able to secure.
Granting that the bill is a good thing in its gen.
eral provisions, it is plain that trust publicity

to get action and secure relief for the public. This bill
will be of particular service in that direction Why

"TOP HEAVY HOUSES
An Odd Thing About Audiences
That Go to See Ibsen's "Ghosts.

Miss Mary Shaw, who is Interpreting
this week for Minneapolis audiences lb-
sens much -mocted Ghosts" has been so
constantly playing in the great centers
that the reception given this play by the
audiences Of the smaller cities has been
q revelation and source OF profound
wonder to her. II can't tell you how
much have been gratifed by the appre-
citation shown for this Ibsen venture she
said to-day, land it has set me to doing
some hard thinking about the difference
between New York audiences and critics
and those of the interior cities. My i'm
preston certainly has been that the peo-
pie of the smaller cities are more. un-
trammeled and more willing to give any
thing worthy fair hearing and serious
consideration. 1 am finding the study of
the effect on the audience interesting and
full of suggestion. In New York all of
the leading critics gave much attention
to the production and discussed it thoroly,
but not one of them showed the acumen
and the originality Of a man in Rochester
of whom I had never heard. All. this is
distinctly encouraging. for it shows that
| the field for serious dramatic work is not
restricted to a few great dramatic CEN
tiers that would willingly be the dramatic
arbiters. ;" r "
There are few more serious students of
the drama than Miss Shaw and she be-
lieves that ''the plays the thing over
and above her success and that of any
other exponent. She has carefully thought
out ideas upon all phases Of the drama
| and in her devotion to high ideals and
aims not only for herself but for her pro-
fession she is often regarded as imprac-
| tical and a traitor to the material inter-
ests of the craft. One Of her pet ideas is
providing the drama for the people. This
touch with the great mass of humanity she
regards as necessary to its vitality and
vigor.
In studying the adaptation Of the drama
l to the masses and to watch it's effects she
is a. frequenter of the cheap theaters anC
a close observer Of the top of the house.
