MODERN PLAY AS LITERATURE.

The reading public of America is
awakening to the fact that a good play
is likely to prove good reading, and
may furnish keener zest than the
novel. The dramatic works of foreign
playwrights are selling by thousands,
not only Ibsen, but Sudermann, Ros-
it's of the front rank are taking adj
vantage of this growing taste and are
publishing their plays. Editions of Pi-
nero, Augustus Thomas and Clyde
Fitch have been placed on the market
and have achieved good sales.
This revival of the play as literature
is the topic of interesting comment by
Brander Matthews in the North Ameri-
can Review. He halls it with approval,
not only for it's influence on the drama,
but from the standpoint of the reading
public. The best drama is more stimu-
lating than the novel. 1t requires
imagination to visualize the play and
construct situations from bare dialogue.
The effort itself may furnish a keen
pleasure. The novel supplies every
thing and leaves little or nothing for
the reader to do, and therefore most
novels are positively enervating in
their influence on the intellect. The
drama is a nobler form of literature,
at it's best, and is worth any ones while
to read both for pleasure and profit
All this applies, of course, to the
small percentage of plays that are
really literature. Many of our most
successful acting plays depend on ac-
ton rather than the quality of the
lines, and melodramas, of course, will
not bear reading at all. Even the best
plays require careful editing and re-
vision from stage manuscript, to make
reason, however in the revival of read
ing plays. There is reason why mod
not confine its influence to the theater-
going fraction of the people. When
beauty of form and imagery distinguish
the playwright's work it is worthy of
permanent place. The spectator, as
Dumas said, can give only success; it
is the reader who confers renown.

THE GRANDDAUGHTER POLICY.

They have a way down in Kansas
City of securing fair treatment from
the transportation companies which
seems to work. The Kansas City Star
relates a recent instance where some
of the railroads were making low rates
to a few favored shippers by giving
itism, and the general trade, becoming
dissatisfied with this discrimination,
banded together to break it up. There
was cohesiveness enough among the
trades people to stand together-some-
thing which they know hod to do in
Kansas City-all the business of
freighting for the merchants in the
combination was offered to one par
secret rates. About the time the deal
was ready to be closed the line to be
A proposition was then made to another
road, which accepted the terms and is
now favored with a guaranteed ton
mage of the same kind for a term of
years. This traffic is particularly in
heavy dry goods.
The Star points this out as an ex-
ample of what business men can do
to secure reasonable rates when they
stand together. This thing of stand
ing together is mighty important in the
development of any commercial CEN
ter, and nothing has probably contrib
uted to the success, the growth, the
prosperity of Kansas City more than
the stand together policy which the
business men of that town have fol-
lowed for many years.
