Sardou's TRAGEDIES.

IT HE plays Of Victorien 'sardou inseparably
A. associated with the name and fame Of Sara
Bernhardt, who presented two of his best known
dramas during her engagement just closed. In the
Sardou tragedies the Bernhardt to have found
her METER She is absolute mistress of all the
TONS express all the fire of tropical love- hatred
and jealousy, but she lacks the depth and nobility of
conception required for the tragedy Of SHAKESPEARE.
No living person, probably, surpass her in por
traying intense emotion, but it is emotion, not real
tragedy.
Sardou 8 heroines are great in their capacity for
passion, but not in womanhood, They are capable
Of any sacrifice or any crime in the heat Of their
passion Like many playrights Of the French
school, Sardou makes little employment Of pure pas
son unstaned love- He does not realize the heights
to which noble may rise without sacrifice Of
true womanhood. His tradgedy is based the swift
consequences Of indulgence. The madness of illicit
love works it's own destruction, and Sardou makes
the progress Of the passion clinic in seduction
jealousy, infatuation and despair with sefdestruc-
ton usually ending the bizarre, artificial denoue-
ment. He is master in constructing stage pictures
and developing situations; he has, as one has said
the lingering" Of the playwright AS settings for
the Bernhardt his dramas unexcelled, but they
do not possess sincerity. They never win per-
manent place in the hearts of the American public
Great spectaces they may be- splendid vehicles for
theatric emotion, but they not, in sense Of
the phrase great dramas. They are false to the
best ideals Of life either in France or America
The egg trust last fall had us giddy Is
At least SO he said but now, did he?
The hen, cheerful thing,
Just spit on her winglf
s# There's smile the face Of the biddy. 4

Society in Washington.

G OCIETY at Washington has been accused Of lean
~ ing too much toward precedence and form. We
have been amused recently by the whimsical con-
test between the justices of the supreme court and
other factotums Of government as to who should
approach the president first at public reception.
The supreme court, Notwithstanding it's learning in
other directions reversed on the point Of etiquet
and the penpotentiaries of foreign lands salaam to
the president before the members Of the court These
and other contests have given an impression that
society at the capital becoming rather too strong
form for republic. ~ <>&~>s. *%
Yet view of Washington society in other days
would indicate that has improved since the second
quarter of the nineteenth century, when Ben Perley
Poore, Washington correspondent, wrote about.it
In his day members Of congress fought duels* and
killed one another. Senators and Representatives
gambled habitually and at every public function a
room was set aside for the convenience of the.
players. The ball costume Of the women he says,
CLASSIC AN it's scant iness and shat fthe mems
would be worn only at play on masquerade.
Those were also the days when cockfghting was the
sport of gentemen-im imagine President, Roosevelt
and Secretary Root matching birds at 3 cooking
zsmain-but that was one Of the pastmes of Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson, and Perley tells q pathetic
story Of time when Jackson's pet birds, after az
long Journey being jaded that when thrust into
the pit they refused to come to the scratch.
-" Society may have changed, but it cannot be said
that it has deteriorated since those days.
Mrs. Jemima Luke died last week in her DIST
year. Her is not well known, but the hymn
which has given her fame is widely known. It is
something to have quoted and sofened the heart of
the age by something SO simple and sweet as,
think when I read that sweet story of DID,
H. When Jesus here among men, =
How He called little children lambs to His fold,
should like to have been with them then.
I wish that His hands had been placed on my head,
That His had been thrown around mo- /, -
And that might have heard His kind voice when

An Event in Sunday Journalism

The people of the middle West are rapidly discovering that the Sunday Magazine of the Chicago Record Herald is not only real magazine but also one of the great est ill this age of magazines Its recent display of enterprise in pay ing S25 ,ooo for the exclusive sera rights of Conan Doyle's new TO nance, Sir Nigel, compelled even the editors cf the famous monthlies to acknowledge the pres ence of a new and powerful rival.
 When this was followed by An thony Hopes new Zenda romance, "Sophy of Kravonia," :" the reading world needed no further proof that Sunday Magazine of The Record Herald was able to capture the fin est and most costly new fiction of fered ill England and America. Its illustrations and cover designs in color have from the beginning been Of unsurpassed beauty and ar tistic grace Its short stories, de scriptive articles, hunor, poetry and sketches of all kinds are the choicest that the literary market affords, many of them being writ ten by the most popular authors and magazine contributors in the United States. In short, 1t IS an entertaining, high class magazine that will bear comparison with the best independent weeklies or monthlies, whatever the price.
 There is nothing else like 1t in American journalism.

KEEP TO THE RIGHT

Editor Tribune The criticism in Tues
da"'s Tribune Of the people who don t
keep TO the right was certainly Just and
well deserved by the aforesaid people.
For truly there !e less courtesy shown on
the street by people of Salt Lake than in
any town ] have ever seen, heard tell of
or read about; less even than on the
crowded streets OF New York Chicago.
Even the policemen, who should set an
example TO other citizens. don't keep 10
the right on street crossings.
Keep TO the right is a time -honored
and long established custom among civ
ilized people which ought TO be observed
here in Salt Lake City.
The Tribune might have continued its
remarks n little further and mentioned
those people. men and women who come
three and four abreast and never make
the least effort to double up when they
meet a lone passenger coming from the
opposite direction. and when he-tlc lone
passenger-standS his ground on the eX-
tremc edge OF the sidewalk. rather than
be crowded off into the mud, the three or
four Will run right over him and turn and
stare at him. and make remarks about
him if he was guilty of the grossest [
impoltene5s. and not themselves
The three or four walking abreast are
just as liable 70 crowd a lady a man
of the sidewalk.
Such conduct by such people (the three
or four. as we'll as all who don't keep TO
the righD. shows that they have little
regard for the feelings OF their fellowmen
and women, Give them some more. Mr..
Editor. PROSPERO.
