not paint that improves with age. And
properly to mix lead and zinc, turpen-
tine and all the other ingredients, so
as to be sure of the freshness and
strength of your linseed oil, is too great
task for the householder-and even
for the up-to-date painter. What to do

"Mrs. Warren" Abandoned.

In this connection it is gratifying
to learn that Arnold DAILY has evident
ly decided to allow Mrs Warren's
Profession" to remain on the shelf
where it was placed by the New York
police, prompted by the New York
critics Mr.. Daily announces that he
will bid farewell to the Shaw plays the
fore part of the season, when he
makes a tour with a repertoire con-
sisting of Candida The Man of
Destiny" How He Lied to Her Hus-
band" You Never Can Tell and
Arms and the Man" In January he
promises TO produce series of one
act plays, consisting of The Flag
Station" by Eugene Walter; The
Lemonade Boy" by Gladys Unger, a
dramatization of w w. Jacobs The,

of these plays are comparatively
clean.
Let it be sincerely hoped that Mr..
Shaw meant what he said when he
ordered his agent to prevent any re

Musical MafineeS End.

With the Minetti concert last
Thursday the musical matinees at the
Greek Theater closed, and it was de-
lightful finale of an altogether salts

life and the hustle of Reconstruction"

soulful strains interpreted by capable
instrumentalists in the restful retreat

ment that seemed to be responsive to
the master musicians baton, was like
balm to the nerves. Never were the
symphonies and quartet concerts
more relished than during the last
three months, and the announcements

of us.

Actors as Husbands.

"A Member of the Profession"

Miss Agnes Williams Johns deprecia-

member, apparently of the sterner
sex, regrets that actresses and ac-
tors admit the public into the secret

of the ever-persuasive interviewer"
That's what / get in return for con-
veying the warning of Experience to

the public as well as Miss Johns and

to read what stage folk have to say
about their domestic affairs there
would be no publishing of such affairs

To Bring Problem Play.

1t would be pretty safe to wager
that whatever play Miss Nethersole
gives US will be Of the problem" kind,
as that term is applied to the ventila-
ton of domestic matters that would
better be confined to the closet, and
that her audiences will be largely
composed Of women who would not
have such things discussed in their
presence by the opposite sex.
1T is a good play" l once heard
a woman say of Nethersole produc-
ton, but you could not take man
to it."
If Tor a season or two women could
set aside their curiosity TO see such
plays a needed reform would come.
There really is no excuse for plays
which insult the idea of pure woman
hood and deride the possibility Of
honest manhood. The Bible contains
things which are not read from the
pulpit. Shakespeare had lines which
we expunge from the editions for the
use of young people and modify for
the stage But neither the Bible nor
Shakespeare would be complete with
out these bad characters and these

Among the artists booked for an
early appearance in Oakland are Olga
Nethersole, whose vehicle has not
been announced. and Louis James, in
The Merry Wives OF Windsor" 3"
Good mummers, both OF them. Miss
Nethersoles plays are not invariably
health-giving, but her art is genuine.
Mr.. James, although he has not de-
veloped his artistic promise, has al
ways upheld the better things OF the
drama, and that is something worthy
OF note nowadays. His schooling was
along traditional lines, and the fact
that he has remained practically
where he started makes him unique
and his work all the more interesting
TO the newer generation.
Theatrical entertainment today IS
IN Itself abundant enough and theatri-
cal stars" are glittering more numer-
ously even in the United States than
when Mr. James competed for the
mantle of Mccullough, but the
changing seasons have all but OBJ
liberated the exclusively classical
actor. Our younger leading players
are concerning themselves with the
romantic, and so far as ability is dis
covered in them they are not likely
TO advance beyond that. The only

in America-certainly the one most

however, has stuck to the bard

Musical COmedy'S Reign.

Despite all that has been predicted
anent the retirement of musical COM
edy, the announcements for next sea-
son include many new works in that
category. George Edwards, the fore
most producer of light musical enter
tainment in England, holds that so
far as interesting the masses goes it
is of first Importance in that country
and that the same development is
surely taking place in the United
States. His opinion must be accepted
guardedly, as his business interests
make him more or less of partisan,
but the fact that more musical, comedy
is TO be launched this year than ever
before cannot be downed. Musical
plays undoubtedly fill want, and the
best of them always will attract large
audiences, regardless of their lack OF
originality in either book or score.
Owen Hall, who has written more
librettos for musical comedy than any
other Englishman. confesses that his
plotting is limited chiefly to the max
ing of a beautiful frame for the
women players.
The biggest modern successes" he
says, have been repetitions or ex-
pansions or new editions of old sue
cesses When something original is
produced it is generally only half a
success. The musical comedy writer
who takes his idea from a piece al
ready seen and does something similar
makes a greater success than the in
ventor"
This is hard on the man of original
bent, but Mr. Hall means exactly
what he says, and would give many
instances in illustration were it not
that he is averse, as he says, ito hurt
ing anybody's feelings" He has made
fortunes in writing the books of
musical plays, but dislikes libretto
work because there is little of real
merit to it.
Il am pandering to the thoughtless
moods of the playgoers, says Hall,
and / am anxious to interest them
in their serious moments or at least
when they are not simply given to
shallow laughter"
Mr.. Hall proposes to write straight
plays. He wants to dabble in pathos
and comedy. His desire is to appeal
to the intelligent, but who can tell
what will happen? He is in the hands
of the promoter, and all his ideas of
substantial accomplishment fly to the
winds when one of them comes with
an order for a play.

seems to think that she is, else her
views on matrimony or any other
subject would have no particular
newspaper value.
Besides, the opinions expressed by
Miss Johns had some practical worth
as possible preventive of marriage
between a glamor- blinded maiden and
self-centered matinee idol. If the
Member is not leading man him
self he will acknowledge that much.

Plans of Coast Actors.

Mr.. Vane-Tempest, an actor, and
English, of course, considers that
there are many demoralizing tenden-
cies on the stage What, for in
stance" Mr.. Vane-Tempest asks, can
be more destructive of a mans self
respect than the nightly necessity (re-
peated on two afternoons during the
week. of bedaubing his unhappy face
with pigments OF a more or less un-
wholesome and malodorous nature?"
Blanche Bates resumes operations
tomorrow at the Belasco Theater,
New York, in "The Girl of the Golden
West and it is hardly likely she will
need new play for two years at least.
Maxine Elliott will guide her own
destinies this season and make an ex-
tended tour in "The Great Match"
The outcome of her managerial ex-.
pertinent will be watched with much
interest by every woman in the pro-
fession and at least one man.
Barney Bernard has evidently aban-
doned Hebrew impersonation, for he
is to appear in the part which Sam
Bernard, German comedian, created
in "The Rollicking Girl" barney will
