Few American actresses have re-
ceived such uniform and instant praise
from British critics as fell to Maude
Fealy as Fair Rosamond in Tennyson's
Beckett" with Sir Henry Irving re-
Gently. Without exception the English
papers commented upon her beauty
and her talent, mentioning her work
in the part in almost equal prominence
with that of Sir Henry. She was
counted especially good in the scene
with Eleanor and in the cathedral
scene with Beckett. in both of which
she won the complete sympathy of the
audience.

Ibsen and his play OF "Ghosts" are
subjects on which people have violent
opinions. Charles Scribner's Sons
have published a book by James Hume
ker, who was formerly dramatic critic
of the New York Sun and one of the
best dramatic writer's In this country
entitled 'Iconoclasts, a Book of Dra-
matists." In this he gives an inter-
esting essay on Ibsen in which he gives
his view of Ibsens Ghosts" as fol-
lows:
"'Ghosts,' like much that is great IN
art, is very painful play. So is Mac
BETH so is Lear so is 'Oedipus Rex
There are some painful pictures in the
small gallery Of the worlds greatest
are not wanting. Probably the most
poignant emotional music thus far
written is to be found in the last move
ment of Tschaikowsky's Pathetic
Symphony 1t is cosmic in its hopeless
woe. Yet Ibsen gives the screw u
tighter wrench, for he conceived the
idea of transposing all the horror Of
the. antique drama to the canvas Of
contemporary middle class life.
HE gives us an Orestes in a smok-
ing jacket, the Furies within the walls
of his crumbling brain. Naturally the
academic critics cry aloud at the BIAS
phemy. The ancients, Racine, Shakes
peare and the rest softened their tragic
situations by great art. AS in a vast
mirror the souls of the obsessed pass in
solemn professional attitudes; the
contours are blurred; the legend goes
up to the heavens in exquisite en-
r.rpled haze.

They are no longer poetic and pictorial

Indifferent; and therein lies one secret
of Ibsen's power 1t is his aloofness
that his audiences resent most of all.
"The pity about Ghosts which is in
the repertory OF every continental
theater, is that the Ibsenites made Of
1t a stalking horse for all kinds of
yagaries, from free love to eating tur-
nips raw.
"Ibsen holds no brief for free love,
or for diseased mental states. You

It is through the insistent philosophy
OF such men as Ibsen that the drama
4 has developed into a leader and
teacher in the newer lines of thought,
and this has given hint to the world
Of the possibilities Of the stage in the
spiritual development of the race. In
directly It has been doing good work
along with bad for ages, but an effort
to make the theater a conscious ethi-
cal power may mean a regeneration OF
the stage and there are Indications that
It is being slowly moved in this direc-
tion.
Leah Kleschna," was perhaps the
latest phase in giving to the world a
problem play" in which no one shat
tered the seventh commandment, and
an emotional drama" which ended
happily-and that without considering
the unnecessary final aot-and these
pleasant features, however technically
inferior the play, brought new ray OF
light to world into which Ibsen and
other powerful playwrights had only
Numbered a realization Of it's iniqui-
ties. 1t is all the same gospel of in
divldual freedom-"the Kingdom Of
God is within you"
1t is certainly true that without the
light we are lost as is pointed out in
Ghosts and "Iedda Gabbler," but 1t
is as equally true to say that with the
light we are saved and in the latter
there is the hope and inspiration and
life needed, and for which possibly a
hungry people would crowd the the
aters wherein Ibsen's gloomy exposi-
ton of his wonderful philosophy Is
generally wasted on empty chairs.
1t is difficult to determine why in re-
cent years a note of despair and a
hopeless ending have apparently been
taken as necessary marks of greatness
in a drama. If Christian Science or
New Thought or any other religion can
inspire the priests Of the drama so that
they will bring to all of their works
+ some clear note of hope and teach them
how they can make evident that pessi-
mism and grief are not positive quail
tiles it will be an invaluable service to
mankind. After all it is an easily ac-
cepted formula which says that grief
and sin and sickness are only negative
just as black is not color in itsef f
but only an absence of white.
You can bring lighted lamp into a
dark room and make the place light
but there is nothing you can bring into
lighted room tf99,,lp3qlak t9 lp3qlake it dark. AMI
perhaps it is, aalongh thisg line that the
newer drama will find itself working
the bringing Of the light into such
souls as Leah Kleschnas That would
be drama of hope and inspiration.

Coming Attractions

BELASCO THEATER-The week be-
ginning Monday evening" will mark
the fall opening of the regular Belasco
theater stock company, with most of
the old members back in the cast and
several very valuable new people as
members of the organization. Miss
Isabel Evesson, who has been brought
here as the new leading woman, comes
with the reputation of being an actress
of wide experience and great ability.
She has been said to be the best
dressed woman on the stage and ex-
all of these evidently alluring pros
poets are to be set forth is dramatiza-
tion of Charles Majors extremely sue
cessful novel, Dorothy Vernon of
Haddon Hail. 1t is play which
served Bertha Galland for two seasons
and was great success in the east.
1t has never been presented in Los An
geles. Joseph Galbraith will again take
his position with the company as lead
ing man and Richard Vivian will cover
his vacation sunburn with grease paint
for an important role in the production.
Bertha Blanchard and Luke CoEness
have been retained from the WhittIe-
sey company and will be valuable adj
ditions to the Belasco company. George
Barnum, James Bliss, Robert Demp-
ster. Marie Howe, Margaret Langham
and the other Belasco players will ap-
pear. The story of the play deals with
England in the days of Elizabeth and
presents both that queen and her ILL
fated cousin. Mary, Queen of Scots. A
feature Of the opening Of the season on
Monday evening will be the cooling of
the theater by liquid air. This is the
first time liquid air has been used for
this purpose, and the announcement
that it is TO be distributed in great
clouds over the auditorium between
acts may keep the thirsty audience in
side at least until after the first demon
stration.
BELASCO THEATER-On Wednes-
day of this week there will be a special
matinee at the Belasco theater in
which Harry Mestayer and his COM
pany will present Ibsen's. in many re-
spects, remarkable play Ghosts" of
which considerable has been said in
another column. Harry Mestayer has
presented this play once before in Los
Angeles, and his doing so created about
as much talk as anything in the the
atrical line during the season. Mr..
Mestayer is one of the best juvenile
actors this city has ever seen. Mr..
Mestayer was with .-ary Shaw In this
play for few weeks during her fa-
nous tour OF the Kentucky towns,
where he appeared. Kate Dagleish
will appear as Mrs. Alving, and her
record is a guarantee that her role,
which is the most cificult In the play,
will be given a finished Interpretation.
All in all 1t ought to be worthy
presentation of this great drama which
has caused more discussion than any
play in recent years.

Drew an Enormous Salary.

S. C. T. Dodd. who has resigned as
general solicitor of the Standard Oil
Company, probably drew the largest
salary of any individual in the United
States. Mr.. Dodd has for years drawn
an annual salary of $250,Ooo. The only
other salary drawn by a lawyer which
can compare with this is that of Fran
els Lynde Stetson, who receives an
annual retainer of $4,000 from ]. p.
Morgan & Co. This retainer is given
simply for the purpose of allowing Mr..
Morgan to have the first call upon
the services of Mr.. Stetson. Whenever
he is consulted he receives an extra
fee
Sir Clinton Dawkins, the head of the
London branch of j. p Morgan & Co.,
receives an annual salary of $780,
900. In addition he realizes certain
percentage of the profits of the firm,
which during some years have a
mounted to a larger sum than his
guaranteed salary.
Outside of Mr.. Dodd, about the lar
gest salary drawn by an individual in
this country is 100000. A large num-
Der Of persons are known to draw this
salary. The largest salary drawn by
any railroad president is understood to
be $4,000. Both A. j. Cassatt and
James ]. Hill are said to draw this
salary.
