Some Things They Might Do Well Not

a writer in a Chicago paper reads his

other cities. He says:
Sometimes it seems as if some tiny

the theater. That wise man of an
tiquity. who marveled at the ways of a
man with a maid and an eagle in the
air. probably pondered also over the
ways of the average audience of adults
at a serious performanee-though he did
not record tho fact.
For example:
At Nine. Sembrich's concert a week
ago yesterday the audience was most
insistent in demanding encores. The ap-
plause passed the bounds of courteous

Mirror of the Age.
'.As respects the other feeling which
used to stand more than it does now in
the way of the theater-the fear of
moral cOntamination-it is due to the
theater of our day. on the one hand,
and to the prejudices of GUY GRANDPA
theirs on the other, to confess that the
theatcr of fifty years ago or less did
need reforming in the audience part of
the house.
zone may depend on this, however,
and ii is that the theaters as a whole
are never below the average moral sense
of the time. The inevitable demand for
q mixture at least OF wholesome senti-
ment in every sort of dramatic produc-
ton brings the tone of the theater TO
the highest level at which the general
morality of the time can truly be regis
tered.
I'VE may be encouraged by the refiec-
ton that this is truer than ever it was
before. owing to the greater spread OF
education and the almost absolute di-
vorce of the stage from mere wealth
and aristocraey. Both Of them come
around the stage in abundance and are
welcome as in the time of Queen Eliza
beth

But the stage is no longer a mere

! 1t is nov the property of the educated
( people. It has to satisfy them or pine

mands the better will be the supply
with which the drama will respond
! This being not only so. but seen TO
/ be so, the stage is not longer proscrib-
ed. 1t is 10 longer under a ban. It's
members are no longer pariahs in So
ciety. They live and bear their social
/ part like others, and are as readily rec
ognized and welcomed as the members
of any other profession.
And surely it is fit that, remem-
/ boring What the stage has been and
; must be, 1 should acknowledge that
with Few exceptions the public no long

any social stigma the professors OF the

Art Of Human Nature.
'sThe stage has been serving the world
! for hundreds of years, during which it

ure to millions. For, although the
/ stage is not always occupied in depict
ing its own period the new plays pro-
duced always reflect in many particu-

are played.
IF we really understand the value
