Lyceum-"A contented Woman"

Chat delightful Hoyt comedy, "a Con-
tented Woman is the material for an
evenings entertainment offered at the
Lyceu.n this week. Miss Alison Skipworth,
who is to fill the place of leading lady In
the Ferris stock company during the alb
scnce Of Grace Hayward, plays the
Woman as We all know her-as glorious
and as uncertain as a spring morning.
Miss Skipworth, however, is perfectly con-
slstent In her portrayal, alternating the
sweet sunshine Of a smiling face-the true
index of a contented heart-with the
clouds and shadows Of alarm, suspicion
and distrust, inspired by the insinuations
of the clever leader of the women's rights
ag.tator Aunt Jim, part in which Miss
l.aurette Alien appears to advantage. By
ron Beasley has the trying part Of the
ambitious husband, which he carries IN
his usual breezy manner, while W. H.
Murdoch leads the male reformers with g.
true to-the-life irnrersonation of the
gambling salooakeeper. being ably sec
onded by Charles Durham and Ernest
Fisher as the other members Of the
working" committee. Joseph 1sotten, as
the bachelor brother-i law, pervades the
entire performance in the manner that
always pleases the Lyceum audiences
Maisie Cecil has an opportunity to inter
polate one of her dainty song and dance
specialties as the chief Of the Woman's
friends on the domestic side and is unable
to escape without an encore. Mrs. Muir
doch's appearance in pants is one OF
the "hits" of the evening, and Miss Les
lie Bingham makes a charming adven.
turess. It really is an entertainment tt
make one laugh.

themselves In trouble. Private capi-
tai invested in these public utilities
is entitled and is expected to earn a
fair profit, but 1t Is much more i'm
portant and much more consistent
with the theory upon which the corr
poration is created, and with the pur-
pose for which it was called into be-
ing, that it shall render a satisfac-
tory public service. If these corpora
tons had been conducted upon that
theory rather than upon the opposite
and conflicting principle of extorting
from the public all that can be got
from it, there would be little occa-
sion to fear the legislatures or the
courts. Meanwhile, and until that
theory Of operation Of the public
service corporation is adopted, the
powers Of congress and of the state
legislatures and of the courts will ba
called into exercise for purposes or
restraint as occasion may require.

WRITERS, SUGGESTIONS


Writers have their little sanctities and
superstitions. There is one very clever
short-story manufacturer who had the
usual amount of hard work in breaking
into the magazines. He hammered away
at his typewriter night and day, and
spent his savings in two-way postage.
Everything came back. There was rot
editor of any sort of periodical t. offer
him the slightest encouragement. One
day he read an article on the har5nori1ous
relation of colors His horoscope had
said twelve years previously TIT his coli
ors were green and white. He mad writ
ten all his stories on manila paper in
black ink. All had failed to score. He re-
solved to use white paper and green ink.
No sooner resolved than executed. He
dashed off an article Of 5000 words in
about three hours, sent it to the --
magazine and 10! behold. it was ac-
cepted! From that day to this he has used
only green ink and white paper. The
magazines pay him cents a word for all
he can turn out.

Howard Boardrnan
RiIou - Ben Hendricks In erik Of
SWeden.',

=
# Ben Hendricks, the Swedish dialect
comedian and Northand singer, is a star,
he falls to shine as Erik Of Sweden in
sidney r.. Ellis comedy drama of that
name at the Bijou this week. While the
character and the impersonation leave
much to be desired, Mr.. Hendricks re-
trieves part of the failure by his sweet
voice, which Is well adapted to the little
Northland ditties the piece introduces.
That Mr.. Hendricks has talent there is
no doubt, but the author has failed to
give him opportunity to display it. He
mas a good voice, as his rendition of the
'Northland Lullaby and Strawberries, =
two pretty little songs, proves.
The piece begins in the time of Charles
M Nv. king OF Sweden. and has to do with
the steward of a Swedish noblemar, who,
after the death Of his master, embezzles
the whole estate, and, leaving the widow
ana son IN poverty, comes to the United
States and invests the proceeds of his
populations In land on Lake Superior.
Erik, the son of the nobleman, comes to
New York and finds the steward. Erik,
not Knowing Of his duplicity, becomes his
overseer. OF course there is the villain
and the young heiress whom the Villain
is trying to marry for her money, and in
the end Erik marries the heiress The
steward then confesses his crime and
makes restitution. The pieces close with
Erik gleefully singing Fair Land Of
Sweden"
The supporting characters are not
strong and some are homogeneous. George
Miller as the New York wait does some
good comedy work Charles Rowan as
the villain is weak, and the same might
well be said Of his fellow schemer Miss
Belle Francis. James L. Carhart, the
steward, plays well the part Of man
with a troubling conscience, while little
Evelyn Wright, as Little Elinor, more
than Z" desperately in love with Jim
calls for large share Of the applause.

Is Our Classic Literature to Be Christian
onIy?-Theodore T. Munger Says 1t Is
Book Of Essays for the Day.

The time seems nearly to have come
in which a Christian nation will accept
and adopt as classic only the literature
which is Christian. This is simply logi-
cal; it must embody those truths and facts
which it has adopted as the grounds Of
its life and conduct. It's literature must
represent what it believes in what it
cares for, and must enshrine the hopes
which inspire its daily life, and, above
all, its literature must feed the ideals
which 1t has caught from it's faith"
This is from Theodore T. Munger's
essay on christianity and Literature in
his book, Essays for the Day, just pub
lished This essay, with others in the
book might almost be called thought Gre
ating 1t is tremendously stimulating to
the reader, at the least, and starts the
mind in new channels Of thought For
example, there is added light for the lit
erary aspirant in the suggestion that "the
great masterpieces of literature do not
spring primarily from the literary sense OF
purpose but from human depths of feel
ing and duty If that be true, then much
more is it true that masterpieces do not
spring from the commercial motive.

MetropoIItan-"o klku san."

Z % Kfku SAM" an idyl Of Japan with a
distinctly American setting, is the choice
bit of comedy now on at the Metropolitan.
It would be difficult to conceive of more
charming vehicle for an evenings enter
tainment or one more suited to display
the versatility and ability of Miss Percy
Haswell in the title role.
The story is simple one, the plot being
laid in Washington, D. G. The daughter
OF the japanese minister, while at Wash.
ington, commits the objectionable sin of
falling in love with young American
naval officer This is a great offense in
the eyes of the minister, who had be-
trothed her in childhood to Marquis Shi-
moda. A brother Of the marquis, and
assistant secretary in the Japanese lega-
ton, to save the minister as we'll as his
brother from the dishonor OF a broken
obligation, contrives to betray state SCI
cret and SO arrange It that the blame will
be thrown upon the young American. An
elopement and clandestine marriage COM
plicate matters and the tangle is finally
solved by the diplomacy Of o Kiku San,
who behaves in such a deliciously out
rageous American fashion that Marquis
Shimoda voluntarily asks to be released
from the betrothal and all ends Well.
Miss Percy Haswell, as the little Jap
anese maid, is delightfully."- naive. When
she explains to the smitten lieutenant that
she indulged in Irritation with him as
a matter Of education, just as she
studied music or went to school, her dro1-
lery Is witching. The japanese song and
dance In the last act, wherein o Kiku San
exercises her diplomacy and secures her
release from the ogre twice her age, are
executed with exquisite grace and Cos
quetry. Miss HasweH has in this charac-
terization achieved q pronounced success.
Regain Hughston,i as the lieutenant,
makes lovable and gallant altho some
what effeminate officer. Edwyn Evans,
as Shimoda Gentaro, who dares anything,
even the hari-kari. to prevent dishonor
to his brother or his minister, was very
effective. De Witt Jennings, as Count
Tanaka, the Japanese minister, did ex-
cellent work. Miss Evelyn Vaughn made a
beautifnl and fascinating Belinda Blood,
the emancipated fancee Of the lieutenant,
and contributed her full share to the

WHIPPING INTO THE RAW

The city of London is the "cabbiest''
place in the world. More than 10000
horses are hauling cabs and omnibuses
there, and they are among the most pit
eous creatures in existence The chief
dependence of their merciless owners for
locomotion is whipping into the
raw. The raw is sore place
on a horse, an opening in the hide
which 1eaces the flesh and nerves cx-
posed as a mark for the heavy, sweat
reeking whip of the driver. 1t did not re-
quire London hackmen to introduce into
New York or other American cities, the
inhuman practice of whipping into the
raw, ," for it is a distressing fact that
wherever men have to do with horses as
means to a livelihood cruelty is second
nature. We have whipping. into the raw
not only among eabnnen, but among driv-
ers of street cars and among owners,
trainers and jockeys on race tracks.

they are Christian, because they are so

then, but amply redeemed and counter

Then, near the close, comes the quota

The essayist goes far also in his belief
in the wholesome effect of litera-
ture upon religious belief, exercising
correcting and modifying influence. He

Separation Inevitable.

It is of no great consequence as to
just what Is the present trouble be-
tween the French republic and the
Vatican. The incident that has re-
suited in the recall Of the French am
bassador at the Vatican Is merely one
of the episodes in the drama of the
separation of the church and state,
which Is slowly unfolding itself in
France.
The close union that now exists be-
tween the nonreligious political gov
eminent Of France and the church, Is
not one that can be expected to con-
tinue indefinitely. France is called a
Catholic country because the professed
religion Of the great mass Of it's peo-
pie is that of the Roman Catholic
church, but it's government is decid-
eddy secular. Whatever they may be
nominally, the larger number of
French public men are without the
church and are opposed to the close
union of the church and state which
has been so long maintained In
France.
The success M. Combes met with In
suppressing secular education in
France showed that the church was nc
longer the power in politics it had
once been. This discovery, no doubt
is responsible for the bold manner
in which France has replied to the
Vaticans course regarding the visit Of
President Loubet to Rome.
In a monarchy, where the monarch
his ministers and most Of the people
are Of the same faith devoutly held
a union Of the church and state, ever
when the head Of the church reside!
outside the nation, may be long con
tinued without friction, but it is {
cause of wonder that liberal, and i
might almost be said nonreligious re
public, has been able to get along 81
we'll for so long a time with a church
so dogmatic and so uncompromisins
as the Catholicism of France. Iss, as#
