The State and the Theater.

The London Chronicles dramatic critic
says:
While some Of US befriend the drama
with signatures mot negotiabie), Mr. Hem
ry Arthur Jones launches into an exnosf-
ton which is partly ecstasy and partly
business. The state, he tells us In the
Nineteenth Century might easily endow a
repertory theater with 10000 a year-for
few years, just to see how it works
That artful proviso, fear, would be re-
ceived with jeers in the house of COM
mons. There is a distressingly large num-
Der of people who cannot be reconciled to
new imposts on the plea of seeing how
they work"
In the last ten years, says Mr.. Jones' the
playgoing public must have spent about
five millions sterling on the lightest theat-
rical entertainments Why should thew
object to small experimental outlay from
the national funds for the sake of the real
drama? don't know why, unless it be the
citizens fncurable habit of distinguishing
between the trifiing cost of his personal d.
versions and the exorbitant sums exacted
from him by the tax collector.
But the smile spreading over the citi-
zens canny features should be checked
when he learns that Mr.. Jones is ready to
contribute a new comedy to the endowment
of the repertory theater. II should think
1t great honor and pleasure to write for
natfOnal EnglSn tneater without any
consideration of payment" The sincerity
of that is beyond question, and ought to
shame those of US who write not for the
stage but about 1t into a pledge that the
immense sums awarded us for our respect
full notices Of Mr.. Jones comedy shall go
to the Golfers Of the endowed play house
Still, am not sure that 1t is quite poll
tic of Mr. Jones to offend too often the
sound commercial instinct which likes to
have the cash value OF commodities The
drama Is an art, and to art generous en-
thusiasm makes sacrifices: but In coun-
money. and where the artistic status Of
the drama il still In dispute, should not

Another thing to which the hiring ON
