information that a Japanese division Of
fast cruisers and torpedo boat destroy

VeHsky and there Is reason to believe
that the Japanese took up d position IN
the straits of Sunda through which
NebOEatOT originally intended to make
the passage into the China sea. There
is also reason to believe that NeboEatOff
first approached the straits Of Sunda,
but finding them too well guarded, put
about and headed for the straits of
NaIacca. mis- division lacking the pro
lection of fast cruisers and at being at
a great disadvantage in meeting torpedo

The admiralty expresses much graft

bogatoff has successfully reached the
China sea but appreciates that the
composition of his division renders it
particularly vulnerable to a swift ad-

ships have not had the training I'm

An Amended Verdict.

One OF the most sentimentally inter
esting knicknacks in the New York
home OF Miss Maxine Elliott on River
side Drive, takes the shape OF a framed
telegram. 1t is dated six or seven sea-
sons ago and is signed by Nat c. Good
win. At that time Mr.. Goodwin had
not yet met the handsome actress who
subsequently became his Aife, and
when his manager wrote to him suggest
ing her for the position of leading wo-
man. the star. who happened to be IN
P1ttsburg. wired: "All right. but is she
not too tall?" That is the dispatch which
AHss Elliott has had framed and hung
so that IL must always meet the eyes OF
her husband shortly after he crosses
the threshold Of the front door. II was
in Pittsburg, by the way. that the cou-
pie We're married a year or two after
the flashing OF the communication.
When Mr. Goodwin appeared there a
month ago, he wired her again; Il still
think she IS all right but there cannot
be any too much of herr

Our Lightning PIaywrightS.

If it were not for the fact that we
(meaning both critics and public)
are the victims of the modern play
wright's methods, we might more
thoroughly admire the sublime nerve
Of the three or four dramatists who
are grinding out the bulk of our new
plays.
As long ago as the middle of the
sixteenth century a courtier of Louis
XIV declared that he who undertakes
to write a good play deliberately
chooses the most difficult task open
to mankind. Evidently Clyde Fitch,
George AIDE, Augustus Thomas and
2 few others. not to mention George
Bernard Shaw. do not agree with
this sentiment
A good play involves all the diff
ficulties Of producing a good novel,
and several others in addition. To
write one year is quite a task, and
one in two years is enough to tax
the average brain. Yet our up-to-
date playwrights do not hesitate to
turn out one in six weeks. Is il the
pecuniary gain alone that influences
them?
Fitch has about eight plays run
ming, every one Of which ought to
bring him from $500 to $500 a week
in royalties. And still he writes.
George AIDE is a close second, while
Thomas is a less fragrant offender.
Lope de Vega. the old Spanish
playwright, holds the record as a
lightning dramatist. He wrote more
than 100 comedies, none of which
has lived. Shakespeare wrote less
than one play every two years dur
ing his connection with the stage.
and a number of them were merely
adaptations. And Shakespeare will
live forever.
What is the logical conclusion?
These few modern play producers
are presuming on the managers who
seem to be afraid of a play that does
not carry one of their brands and

Gotham'S Bridge-Whist Theory.

On the decidedly selfish principle
that misery loves company, it is con-
ing to observe that Washington is
the only city this season that is
ling to support the theaters. From
al over the country comes the same
EEery, and speculation as TO the cause
IS one of the interesting topics of the
aay.
St. Louis is quite sure that the
termath of her exposition is re-
Eponsible for the languid interest
manifested By her citizens toward
days and players. Chicago explains
ser duh season by pointing out the
Industrial activity of the Windy

WaShington'S Unerring Judgment.

VIII some one please come forward
and explain how it is that Wash
ington can. with unerring judgment,
pick the play it wishes TO patronize
each week before the curtains go up
on the opening night.
If this had happened only three or
four times this season the matter
might be dismissed as a mere CO
incidence. But it is not a coinci-
dence. Week after week, with clock
like regularity the opening night
finds the theatergoers at some one Of
the leading pIayhouses and the bust
ness at that house continues through
out the week, while other companies
are frequently playing to rows Of
empty seats. And the play selected
is always the best of the week.
Is it that Washingtoniars follow
the criticisms in other cities. or has
the Capital developed psychic fore
knowledge along the line of theatre
cal productions? Criticisms IN local
papers cannot affect the frst-night-
ers. And. come 10 think Of 1t, out
of-town criticisms cannot be the ex-
PLANTATION either. as many or the
plays this season have opened in
Washington, while others that have
done poor business have come to us
from small towns whose dramatic
critics praised the productions in
extrayagant terms.
Therefore, unless some better ex-
PLANTATION be forthcoming. we are
forced to conclude that Washing
ton has a bump Of intuition and an
ability to Judge without seeing that
is nothing short of phenomenal.

the evening. how, ask the Porkopo-
lis critics. can the theaters expect
the usual patronage? New York
sizes up the situation and declares
bridge whist is responsible In
Gotham.
This theory, which at first sounds
idiotic, grows upon one in thinking
the matter over carefully. We have
the authority of well-known clergy
man that Washington is playing
more bridge this year than any city
in the United States Now as a mat
ter of fact the best patrons of the
theater in this city are those whose
business is to seek amusement week
after week-ever haunted by the
terrible fear-of being bored. Their
patronage counts more at the box
Office than that of the many who at
tend the theater only three or four
times a season.
II. therefore, the habitual amuse-
ment-seekers find sufneient enter
tainment at bridge to pass away the
afternoons and evenings, there is
sure to be a proportional loss to the
theaters. Certainly there is some
reason back of the situation In Wash
ington. and New York's bridge-whist
theory may not be as foolish as IT
sounds.
