France as a shining example of
the benefcent effects of such

other side to the story A wall has

it is one Of their methods of making
themselves solid" with the voters at
no cost to themselves. AS a result, at
the end of the season. it is found that
the expenses always exceed the re-
turns.
The same complaint is made by such
wellknown Partisan theaters as the
Theatre Francois, the Odeon the Opera
and Opera Conidue. They get the
worst of the bargain with the state.
Instead of profiting by it. they are
out of pocket by it. Instead of en-
couraging art, the system merely en-
courages dead-heads. In the prov
inces, where the theaters are subsi-
dized by the municipalities. the same
demoralizing state of affairs prevails.
So many free seats are exacted of the
unhappy managers that many of them
are clamoring for the abolition of the
system which takes more out of their
pockets than 1t puts into them.

PEELED Jacob Adler to return to New
York this week. for the great Yiddish
tragedian has been making such a stir
at the Pavilion Theater down in White
chapel that the attention of the West
End began to be attracted. On the last
two or three nights crowds besieged
the little theater and good many hum
dreds had to be turned away. L hap
pered to come across from New York
with Mr.. Adler and his charming wife,
and he told me they expected to play a
few days at the Pavilion and then go
on to some one of the German baths
fol a much needed rest. Instead of
this they have been playing steadily
In London. A suggestion was made
that Mr.. Adler should be given an op-
portunity of showing what he could
do for a week at one of the big West
End theaters. and the chances are that
when his New York theater engage
ments permit him to do so he will re-
turn to London and try this experiment.
Mr.. Adler came to London from st. Pc
tersburg twenty-five years ago and had
three years of hard drudgery in small

theaters in the East End of London
After coming close to the edge OF
starvation he concluded to go TO Amer
lea in 1888. and has been there ever
since.
The London dramatic season is go
ing to begin unusually early. There Is
scarcely a playhouse in the West End
in which rehearsals are not now going
on. There will be ten big flrst-night
performances in the month beginning
August 90. on which date the dramatiza-
ton OF w. J. Loeke's novel, The Morals
OF Marcus Ordeyne,' is TO be produced.
The author is the secretary of the Brit
ish Institute of Architects, and 1 be-
lieve this is his first play except for
one or two curtain raisers He was nos
known as novelist either until his
delightful story was published last
year. An interesting instance of the
fact that you can't put on the stage
what you can say in a novel will be
found in the alteration OF the Judith OF
the novel into an austere friend of the
hero.
For the theme of his new play, due
next month at the Adelphi. Comyns
Carr has again sought inspiration at
the fount of old romance. Once more.
for the benefit of the many over whom
the naive and marvellous still exert so
delicious a fascination. the dramatist
of King Arthur has travelled into the
enchanted realms of Camelot and Tin
tagel and resuscitated for presenta-
tion behind the footlights one of the
worlds most famous love stories-the
tragic idyl of Sir Trlstram and La
Belle Iseult." Mr.. carr's version is
derived mainly from Malerys "Morte
d'Arthur," but he has introduced sew
eral episodes of his own invention.
AS to the environment I have given
the drama says Mr.. Carr, Il have
been wholly guided by the chivalric
spirit of the time in which the legend
first takes its literary form-a spirit
which so colors the whole story as we
know 1t that l have thought 1t best to

might otherwise be appropriate to the
historic epoch to which the legend may
be supposed to belong. Ny aim, in
short, has been to make the setting as
legendary as. the theme"
There is nothing so stimulating as
debt" is the rather dangerous moral
which Madame Emma Calve herself
draws from the story of the beginnings
of her own artistic career, some remin-
iscences OF which she has just given
to a friend who discovered her in a
Pyrenean village. While singing at
the Brussels Monnaie she was en-
gagged by the Paris Opera comiaue at
salary OF $4,000 year This seemed
to her fortune, and on the strength
of it she at once ordered a complete
wardrobe. AT the end of the year she
found that she had spent three times
as much as her salary and was s12, 900
in debt. This stimulated her to seek
more remunerative engagement.

Have the big insurance companies

The state ofIdaho has been forced to
submit to raise in Insurance rates Of

escapes this raise.

insurance companies must make up
for the losses sustained in the San

are assessed to help make up the dif-
ference.
Oregon is another Of the Pacific coast
states taxed to help make UP the loss
to the insurance companies. The Port
