DEGENER.ACY OF STAGE.
Views Of William Winter, the Dra-
matte Critic.

Mr.. William Winter, the veteran New
York dramatic critic, recently talked to
the Twentieth Century club of that city
upon The Thenter and the Public" He
availed himself of the opportunity to pre-
sent his recollecuons OF the stage during
the half century he has been crlticising
dramatic performances and TO make some
striking characterizations of actors and
to define some OF the causes OF what he
thinks is tho decadence OF the theater.
This Is the pungent way in which no
characterizes some OF the dramatiSts who
are now having vogue among tho cul-
tured set:
'lbsen, the Norwegian dramatist. with
his baleful types of the deprayity result
ant from hereditary disease; Pinero, tho
English dramatist, with his nauseous Inn
ages OF carnal vice and social corrup-
tion; Shaw. the Irish dramatist with his
pertness OF paradox, his sophistlcal i'm
morality. and his cheap, second hand
Belgian dramatlst: with his fantastic
symbolism. which Is half affectation and
half lunacy. and that dire charlatan who
calls himself Gabriel dAnnunzio. the
italian dramatist with his menaeerle of
wanton monsters-each and all have
found u numerous following. and each and
polluting the silver stream Of literature, e.
the public morals. and the public taste"
Nor was Mr.. Winter any tho less pun
gent In his references to the sensation
burlesque, tho tainted French drama of
matrimonial incontinence." tho problem
play, the various foreign 'cCcentricitles'
such as Fletchers Hamlet, Salvinrs 9th

tinctiy untrue to Shakespeare; Bern

the Ibsen, Mneterlinck, and Shaw move
ments In which ''the crank drama has
reached its fruition": and the plays OF
Clyde Fitch. which are like Creation in
the book OF Genesis, without form and
void"
There has never been moro honest a
more courageous critic than William Win
ter. He has always stood for the highest
and the best. and always condemned, and
sometimes scourgcd, the theatrical man
With tho muck rake. He has urged, I'm
season and out of season, that acting
should never be degraded, and contended
that the actor should regard his art as n
religion 10 assist In developing intellectual
and spiritual culture. The dominant idea
of Mr.. Winters address was that "the
province OF art is the ministry OF beauty
and tho duty of its ministers Is to hold
fast by the intellect and thus promote the
welfare and happiness not of few but
OF all mankind. Chicago Tribune

CORNERING RAISIN CROP
California Gamers Have Made New
Move in the Field.

FRESNO, Cal, May 9.-As a result
of the breaking up Of the California
Raisin- Growers company and the sub
seuuent competition among the pack
ers for control of the raisln crop for
this and the next two succeeding years,
the California Gamers company
which this year entered the field for
raIsins for the first time, has begun
the erection OF a large packing house
here The building will contain sufTl-
Client seeders and machinery TO handle
the entire raisin crop of this section of
the State.
Conservative estimates place this
years raisin crop at 10000 tons. and the
sharp bidding that has been going on
among the packers has advanced the
price OF raisins in the sweat box to IA
cents for either two or three contracts.
The Gamers have succeeded In tying
up a considerable portion OF the crop
for three years. Seeded raisns will
sell this year for 511 and cents, and
layer raisins for S120 per 20-pound box
