Ing of the long line waiting outside

after all, it is hardly just TO Judge
New York as a city by the audiences
in the New York theaters. Perhaps
the number of people who would
come TO see your Shakespearean pro-
ductions. could they afford the price
of admission, would surprise us by
its size if we had any way of know
ing it.
America. replied Miss Marlowe,
differs from other countries. In
European cities the government pro-
yides good theatrical entertainment.
In this country the poor people must
pay or stay away. And wish" she
added earnestly, that some ar
rangement could be mace whereby
the poor could see the better plays.
In New York, for instance, why
couldn't open air performances be
given? A stage could be erected in
Central Park, where Shakespeare's
plays could be acted in the summer
time for the benefit of the thous-
ands who viii probably never other
wise see his dramas
This was an interesting idea and
! should have enjoyed hearing Miss
Marlowe elaborate it. But the re-
lentless maid was more interested
in the evenings performance than in
the Shakespeareless poor Of New
York, and sounded final warning.
/ don't exactly see how the scheme
would work out, as I don't think the
number of actors who would give
their time during the summer to
such a charity would be alarIningly
large But I do think that If the ap-
peal were made. Miss Julia Marlowe

ent / have heard that Sir Henry
Irving often remarked that an actor
skillfnlly trained in the classics is
quite ready for other conditions in
the theater, and l have, myself, no
ticed actors and actresses who have
been highly successful in modern
plays make attempts in the classic
drama which proved wholly dlsas-
trous.
The preparation, you see. is
wholly different. I contend 1t is
vastly easier to portray modern

The great French actor. Monnet-
Sully, whom you have no doubt seen
in this country, and who excels in
such parts as Edipus,- Kreon, etc,
am told is quite inferior in modern
parts. On the other hand, Eleanor
Duse, who is one of the great mod
ern actresses, is less successful in
the plays which depict the antique
or medieval condition, OF romance
plays. Then there is Madame Sarah

before the call for the first act,
and I am not necessarily seeking a
dispsragement of the metropolis.
Outside of New York" she re-
piled. Il find that the educational
centers in America, where the large
universities flourish are more apt to
be intelligent in regard to Shakes
peare than other cities. That, of
course. is largely due to the atmo-
sphere of learning which obtains.
New York. however. seems not to be
affected in that way. Notwithstanding

loves emphasis was eloquent.
1T seems to me-" she added as an
explanatory amendment, that New
York is unique-in class by itself
and must be commented on apart
from all the other American cities.
1t is not typically American. 1t is a
great congested city where every
one lives at a very high pressure
the way of life is too disturbed. For
my own part 1 find the community
which is we'll poised and calm In its
outlook upon things in general is the
best qualified TO appreciate art In
any form-drama or otherwise"

ed to mentally review with great
rapidity what she had said
The question of a city's attitude
as a city toward the drama is diff
fcult question to answer" she OBJ
served. For instance. there is Pitts

That would be quite easy. I am

smile.
We'll let US take such an imagin-
airy situation for the sake of the
argument and suppose you were
able to give q Shakespearean pro-
duction precisely like the one you

ENCOUNTERS A SNAG
Chicago Enoch Arden Gets Divorce
But State Laws Stop Program
There.

Chicago. Sept Tt is a thorny path
from maze of bigamy charges and
divorce entanglements to a rose tinted
haven of matrimony. Charles H. God
dard Frye, who achieved some notori-
ETY. by his dual life, yesterday found
this out. He planned to secure court
relief from one of his wives and then
remarry the other. but the divorce
laws of Illinois interviewed.
Frye made a good start on his pro-
gram. Judge Carpenter granted TO
Mrs. Frye. the first wife. an absolute
divorce on the grounds of desertion.
Mrs. Frye, who lives at $40 Bosworth
avenue, testified TO her husband s
faithlessness.
1t was Frye's intention 10 marry
Mrs. Goddard. his second wife, in the
courtroom, but the statutes forbid a
divorced person to marry within a
year after a decree has been granted
On this account Frye's attorney. Fred
Plotke, told him he would have to go
into another state if he desired to
straighten out the tangle at once. This
the aged man decided to do. Now that
he is released from his first wife he
took Mrs. Goddard to Hammond. Ind,

against his judgment. knowing that
the machinery had been broken and

The airship belongs to A. j. Bodkins

county fair management here to make
an ascension Wednesday, But when
the air ship arrived here it was dis

The ascension was put off until yes

The crowd was SO clamorous that

representatives of the various meat
packing houses, the problems which
have arisen over the question of la
bells which under the law, must be
put upon meat products, have been
settled to the satisfaction of all con-

Secretary Wilson stood for labels
which would state exactly what the
package contained. and this the pack
ers finally have accepted.
