LITERARY JUNK.

Have you ever considered the eXlst-
..oo of a book trade almost totally
untnown to those elements of society
40 have in mind when we speak of
.ho "reading world" There is, in fact,
d;stinct underworld of books; an
,,,dercurrent literature; a moving,
nonuIous, overlooked "other half" of
Tho hook world; not criminal, not desir-
ous TO be vicious, but, as we charitably
cav in society, impossible" The
commerce of them is to the respect
oble hook trade as junk business is
20 its more self-complacent neighbors; ;
tbeir authors are the non-trespassing
tramps-their publishers the fairly
wellmeaning fakirs-of their respec-
tive callings.
Nor should any of us give ourselves
superior airs in speaking so. They
have their readers and their purchas-
ers who after some fashion or other
enioy. prize and even prefer them, and
these readers being not our human
brethren only, but our fellow-citizens,
the matter, if only from the standpoint
of a selfish wisdom, deserves to be re-
garded with kinder condescension
and q more modest seriousness than
the lovers of true literature commonly
accord These books have their de-
grees of merit and demerit, and 1t
might be not wholly a waste of time
even for the critics-when not other
wise too busy-to dip up some of this
sedimentary stratum of the worlds
pen-product and see what lost valu-
ables or things of more or less luster
or other curious quality he can find
in its silt and rubbish. Nay an oc-
casional study of such dredgings, duly
tempered with patience, amiability and
persistence, might give the makers of
our real literature good hints for max
ing the atmosphere of their own books
rightly acceptable to those who now
are all too content to breathe the
miasms of this subterranean book
world; generosity and wisdom at
present much oftener shown-and
much easier to show-by scientific
writer's than by the producers of bellies
lettres.
No doubt it would be found, for one
thing that this rank stuff is the more
readable to some sorts of people, and
they not always in the humblest social
ranks, because few or none of it's pc
rlods require the reader to be already
well read in order to understand or
enjoy them. Fo another thing, when
one comes to reflect upon it, there
must be in much of our most refined
literature far more numerous assump-
tions and implications offensive to the
Se1-regard of the ignorant and unre-
mned, than the cultivated reader is
nKely to notice, or than the accom-
pushed author had any conscious in
.enuon OF expressig. The one who is
ueSpattered knows best how much
mud our carriage-wheels throw. One
point about this neither literature is
snat so commonly it's only effort is to
eenlertain. 1t wages no crusade; it
. nas no quarrel with anybody or any
VI tnlng' no views to enforce, no doctrine
W preach, no unlimited information to
Smusgle in, falsely invoiced as silk or
sugar.

AN ENDOWED THEATRE.

good thing If you could get the man
to endow it. l am enthusiastically in
favor of it; but, to be frank, il seems
to me impracticable. In the first place.
who would endow it? Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie has been most delicately and
indelicately limited at. l have seen
large pictures of Mr.. Carnegie exploit
ed over the words can Endowed The
atre"; but, so far as can make out,
Mr.. Carnegie has said nothing. He
seems to be in hiding, and his castle
in Scotland stands mistaken.
Let us assume that we could have
such theatre in America. Where
would we get any person, or set of per
sons, who could and would run It?
There are, of course, plenty of those
people who pose as being intelligent,
and clever and literary, and who are
in consequence fatuous and self-satis-
fed; but they could not run theatre.
Because a man edits a magazine and
because a woman writes a novel. or
because some other woman is inter-
ested in the question of helping women
in journalistic or other careers, it does
not follow that they know anything
about the drama
That is the trouble with all efforts
that have been made in America to es-
tablish an Independent theatre; they
are all run by the wrong people, To
conduct such an enterprise requires
an enormous amount of tact and skill
and power. In Frace they carefully
train people for careers in the theatre
and they have the Francois, an en-
dowed theatre that has been runnig
for many generations, and all classes
of French people take an interest in
the theatre and go to see plays.
In an endowed theatre in this coun-
try, presume the plan would be to put
on good plays and have them well
acted, not simply to put on literary
plays. A good play is always to be de-
sired whether it is literary or not. You
may remember the attempts to run
such a theatre in America a few years
ago. 1t started under splendid aus
pices; it had also a good deal of
money. And what did the directors
do? One of the first things they did
was to put on a five-act play by a
writer of one-act stories. The attitude
they took was distinctly literary. To
be able to write stories for the maya
zines was taken as an evidence that
one could write a play. AS conse-
quence the new enterprise didn't give
as good plays as the most commercial
managers had been doing.
To make an endowed theatre really
useful you must nave man, or com
mittee, perhaps of both women and
men, and it can't be a big committee,
because with big committee nothing
could ever be accomplished. The time
would be wasted in contention. Say
committee of three persons, because
two would not do. But how are you
going to get men and women of ability
to serve? Think of the responsibility!
Every time they produced a play that
had no dramatic quality they would
give the drama in America a slap in
the face. Now, where will you find
people who can guarantee that the
plays produced will be good ones?
There are certainly some right
minded people in this country.
