If there is one thing that this shows
beyond its proof of the serious interest
of intelligent women In the theater, It
Is the futility of attempting to repre-
sent any play of moment before the
average audience in one of the better
theaters in any but the very best pos
sible manner. The greater futility-en-
forced also by the experiences of recent
seasons-of putting forward in first
class theaters worthless plays and
mediocre companies is also apparent In
the light OF the studious attention that
women are giving to the stage. from
which they hope and expect TO derive
intellectual stimulation as well as mere
amusement
The Washington times., 1905-08-13

Woman's interest in the theater, while
commonly recognized. is not always
understood. Women are the most ioyaI
OF theatergoers, and usually they largo
ly outnumber men at the play; but
there seems to be an idei that they
attend the theater more from j super
fetal and frivolous interest than from
any serious motive.
This notion undoubtedly is erroneous,
says the Dramatic Mirror. While a
certain class of women whose shallow
ness. vanity, and lack IF seri5uaness
have been responsible fpr the impressions
that relate to the matinee girl and
"the matinee idol' is more or less in
evidence. it Is safe to say that a major
ity Of women who frequent the tneateI
are inspired by a solid love for The
drama and capable of a higher degree
of appreciation of the better plays and
the better acting than a like number Il
men among those who frequent the
theater
Evidence tending to snow these facts
may be gathered in the natural order of
things by anyone that studies the sub
Ject. The general demeanor al wnIndE
at the play, as well as the intelligence
with which they discuss II amolS them
selves and in social gatherings on oc-
casion. will show that they regarl the
theater highly as an important element
in life, as well as Cor The emotional
pleasures that the better pays, we'll
represented afford.
Something bearing on this matter is
seen. for instance, in the program of
the College Woman's Club, of Roches-
ter, for the ensuing year, just made
public. This club. as its name implies,
is made up of women in that city who

declaration of independence is defensive
and not offensive. I'VE are here not for

Academy White Caps"
Just after the civn war the best and
most respected element of Southern
manhood banded together in defense of
their property. their lives, and the
honor Of their women. Following upon
the freeing of the negroes and the dis
banding of the army, the law became
powerless before the crowd of human
vultures who fastened upon the desper-
ately wounded South The 'sKu KIux
kan' was formed to punish and over
awe the lawless and to protect the help
less and the innocent. This league,
as it was called ended its existence
when its purposes had been accomplish
ed and order had been restored
The White Caps OF today are descend
ants of the "Ku Klux Klan' of thirty
odd years ago, and are banded together.
not for the motives of mutual defense
and for the protection or their lives and
property, but for the Iawless acts of
crime and revenge. They no longer
fight crime and punish guilt; they serve
their own selfish ends. And the law in
place OF being aided by them. is by them
defted- The drama The White Caps"
was written to show the power of this
Iawless band and to portray in a. vivid
manner their cruelty and that brutal
treatment of any unfortunate who
might happen to offend them Their
power IS passing and will soon be- but
a memory, preserved in history and in
story in the minds and hearts of their
living victims, who have suffered from
