The Splendid Life" Reveals Charles
HaWtrey ia a symphony In DrAb.
The benefit for the Actors Home yester-
day afternoon at the Criterion was a benefit
forgot. Sad reports Of the shortage OF
cakes and ale among the veterans and
sadder tales Of the condition Of the general
fund called forth a mere handful Of the
profession, who with the representatives
Of the press were scattered forlom and
lonesome in the orchestra.
The only hypothesis not wholly discredit-
able to the profession Is that they had
caught wind Of what The Splendid Life
was like Written presumably as a vehicle
for that admirable light comedian, Charles
Hawtrey by his clever brother, George p.
Hawtrev. il proved very far from clever
symphony in drab
Benhdm. a disciple OF Tolstoi, succeeds
to the title OF lord ChertoeH and resolves
70 run his family and tenants according
70 the principles Of advanced Utopian
soc ology. In the first act his family sell
fishly rebel. In the second act the tenants
prove equally narrow minded and un-
manageable, and BeRhum's brother plots
to advance himself to the title and estates
by having him shut up in an insane asylum.
In the third act the plot is thwarted and
Bsnhdm marries the daughter Of his SUI
perintendent who. however, shares the
general distrust Of his high aims,
The theme in itself Is Of far more intel
Ieotual interest than one often fnds in the
playhouse-foT the reason, perhaps, that
iike most dressings out Of IDEAS, Il Is very
laxative and essentially undramatio
What little might have been done TO relieve
the gloom. however, the author mostly
omitted. The family, Of whom one sees
much. and who do not really matter, are
unmitiRate1 snobs and cads BY making
them less selfish and more reasonable,
IL might have been possible to develop their
opposition into a dramatic struggle Of
some interest.
The oIkpeople, who are the real protag-
onists 10 the play, are scarcely seen at all,
and then in a rather feeble presentation
OF character which was, however, the only
bright spot in the afternoon, There was
one almost dramatic moment when the
heroine, seated on the top Of a high book
case, overhears the plot to prove benhdpl
insane; but the chief interest in this conferred
n her dangling Logging and the perils Of
her lofty perch. q Tar as the a. nOuement
was concerned, the scene came 10 nothing.
A certain skill and natuTalness in writ
ing dialogue suggested that as = novel
the author might have given his story
some lie. But there was an utter lack
OF dramatic chara ctenzation and action.
How deeply the cast as a whole was buried
in dulness may be guessed by the fact that
even Mr. Hawtrey appeared a. IL in the
cold gray swn Of the morning after.

A story Of Walter Pater, the first biog-

seems. like other sensitive people had an
unreasoning fear Of the dark and as cure
for II had habit Of going down to the
dark and deserted drawing room Of any
house when be happened to be staying
and sitting with his eyes closed trying to
copjure away the fear Of the horrors with
which he felt himself surrounded. In
one Of his nightly vigils Of discipline while
visiting at country house at which cele-
brated woman writer had arrived unex-
pectedly late at night and unknown TO
him he met with an embarrassing nocturnal
experience. The lady had not dined and
came down in her dressing gown at mid
night in search Of food. As she started
to cross the deserted drawing room she
was startled by the appearance Of white
clad figure. Her shrieks Of terror aroused
the essayist who opened his eyes to be
confronted with a realization Of the horrors
Of darkness and he fed precipitatelT into
the arms Of the apparition. What eX-
plantations and adjustments. followed or
what effect the adventure had upon the
author Of -Marius' Is not known, but the
episode was the foundation Of a friend

THE HIRED MANS WASHING.


A farmers wife wishes to know Just
what is meant by the term washing"
as applied to the contract made with
the hired man. Does it mean starched
collars, cuffs and boiled shirts as we'll
as work clothes, with darning and
mending included? We do not consider
ourselves an authority on this point,
but if we We're in this lady's place we
would pack up all his fine clothing in
nice bundle and tell him that lie
could take it to the city laundry and
would give him needle and some yarn
and tell him to darn his own socks or
else buy new ones when they got too
holey to wear. Hired men with pajamas
and dress linen may be the comm on
thing as our agriculture develops, but
today few women care to look after
this line of goods in the wardrobe of
the hired man. There is only one ex-
ception, and that is where the hired
man is in every way eligible as hus-
band for one of the girls, and then it
will pay to do his washing just as one
Of the family. Ordinarily wamus, a
pair of overalls, two pairs Of socks and
a nightshirt, work shirt and suit Of
underwear would be construed as a
liberal definition of the term "wasn-
ing"
