Kyrle BeIIew as Rallies.

The production of certain plays re- gently has raised a question as to whether a drama ought to have an ethical pur- pose The theme fas been widely dis cussed and men and women of all de- grees have had their say. Kyrle Bellew, the English actor who comes to the Jef- ferson theatre next Thursday with "Raf fes, The Amateur Cracksman," a drama which, by the way. aroused considerable discussion when 1t twas first produced, has this to say on the subject:
 "The question whether a play should be written with an ethical purpose comes up with the discussion to the position of the theatre in the social economy of today. When church and state are ready to accept the theatre as public educator, an ethical purpose will be necessary in every play.
 merely as a business, ignored by the commerce of the drama Is likely to foster a purely amusement side of the question and to ignore ethics.
 ''As matter of fact, I am inclined to think that every play teaches lesson of some sort, if one looks into it deeply enough. though the so-called plays of certain sociaistic writers of our time de- liberately teach the wrong one, and are abhorrent and dangerous.
 "Tell the public your play Is meant to teach them a lesson, and 1t Is wonderful with what unanimity they will transfer their patronage to some meretricious amusement at a music hall and leave you to end your days in the work house."

ADJUSTMENTS
"pavId Harum.r T

David Harum," one of the best of the recent book plays. was presented at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night The matinee performance was attended by a crowd that taxed the thea Ire and the evening performance also drew comfortably filled house. The play was rendered in a pleasing and in- teresting manner. although the company was not one to impress itself lastingly on the memory. Harry Brown as David Harum, made the character both humor- ous and attractive, conforming to the idea one would have of the quaint old horse trader after reading the book, but he was not especially strong. The sup porting company as whole was satis- factory and while no individual member displayed conspicuous ability, the per formance was entertaining throughout and enjoyed. The play carries itself with bright lines and humorous situations.
