OBSOLETE STAGE S0LIL0QUY.

Nowadays playwrights are forced to
find better way for character to
explain his designs" than TO stand him
alone on the stage so that he can tell
the spectators what he Is going to do.
This seems a little too easy to be quite
worth while; and the soliloquy which
merely transmits information to the
audience can be defended only with diff
ficulty. But a soliloquy in which a
character speaks boldly of his most
secret thoughts" stands on higher
plane. II let's tortured hero unpack
his heart; II opens a window into his
soul aud IL gives the spectator a
pleasure not to be had otherwise. 1t
allows us to listen to the cOmmuning
Of a character with himself, az though
we were not overhearing what he is
saying. As Prof. Bradley has remarked
in his stimulating discussion Of
"Shakespearean Tragedy It Will be
agreed that "in listening to a soliloquy
we ought never TO feel that we are be-
ing addressed" He declares that in
this respect. as in others, many of
Shakespeare soliloqules are MASTER
pieces. but he admits that lin some
the purpose OF giving information lies
bare, aud in one or two the actor open
ly speaks 10 the audience And Mo-
liere is as vulnerable to this reproof as
Shakespeare.
The fact Is that when they came to
write for the theater they found the
soiloquy an accepted convention. a
labor saving contrivance that they took
over without bestowing a thought on
the principle underlying it. This prln-
clple II formally declared, would be
that the solloquy Is means OF expos
ing to the spectators the actual
thoughts of u character when he is
alone on the stage. In other words, an
actor soliloquizing muse be supposed ia
be thinking aloud. But so little did
either Shakespeare o. Molere care for
the principle involved that each OF them
unhesitatingly sets before us a char
acter soliloquizing and yet overheard
| by some other character,--Prof. Brand
| err Matthews I'm Putnam's.

Have you ever noticed the fellow who is always in a hurry, who seems to be hustler" yet accomplishes very little? The trouble is that he is unable to concentrate his thoughts and energies on one thing long enough to complete it. but leaves it in an unfinished state and takes up something else. He is apparently very busy, but his efforts amount to naught and the results are disappointing and discouraging. The trouble is he lacks system; he should bring his work into line, and plan it so he can take up each duty in turn and in that way they are not likely to conflict with each other. Above all, he should exercise deep thought, adopting David Crockett's motto: Be sure you're right, then go ahead" and if he does this he will be enabled at the close of each day, to look upon his work with feeling of satisfaction and pleasure. -Reformatory Recor .N
