Week Preceding Christmas.

The week that has just closed was a
rather disappointing one at the local
theaters. The attendance at no playhouse
was very large; it seldom is the week be-
fore Christmas, as people are busy shop
ping and apt 20 consider that the four
dollars they would have to spend for
theater tickets might be better used for
additional presents. II was perhaps in
recognition OF the fact that the week
before Christmas is a bad one theatri-
cally that the Belasco Theater manage
ment made little effort to get booking for
the entire week.
The Lipzin Yiddish players. who gave
TWO performances in the early part Of
the week, proved somewhat Of a disap-
pointment 10 those who could not under
stand the language. The company was
in no way remarkable for talent. and.
indeed. it seemed-so much was the

had been gathered hastily together for
the two special performances.

said to be a play at all. and although
some interest is attached to the trials

extremely doubtful whether such a play

An Ophelin Really Insane

In Percy Fitzgerald's History Of the
English State" there is an interesting
story Of Mrs. Verbruggan. who became
insane through the treaehery of her
friend, the actress Santlow. One day.
during a lucid interval. she asked her at
tendant what play was to be performed
that evening. and was told that it was
Hamlet In this play she had won one
Of her greatest triumphs in the character
Of Ophelia, and with that cunning which
is usually allied 70 insanity, she found
means to elude the care of her servants
and hurried to the theater. Here she
concealed herself until the moment when
Ophelia was to make her appearance in
her insane state, and then. before Miss
Santlow, who played the part that even
ing, could make her entrance, she pushed
by her on to the stage and at once took
up the role. giving a far more perfect
representation Of madness than the ut
most eXertions OF mimic art could do.
She was, In truth. Ophelia herself, and
the storm Of applause with which her
exit was greeted dumfounded the per-
formers and overwhelmed her rival. This
last effort, however, had exhausted her
vital powers. and she died while being

A Question of Criticism.

There has always been more or less
discussion as TO the value of dramatic
criticism written hurriedly by busy critics
In the wee small hours Immediately after
having witnessed a first nights produc-
tion Of play. It has been held and
with more or less justice, that a critic.
under such conditions. is scarcely able
TO bring 10 bear the best of his critical
faculties. TO say nothing of the fact
that a first nights production Of a big
play is almost always sure to be faulty
IN some particulars, it is true that n
critic in the rush and hurry conseouent
upon a waiting hungry press, has but
little time TO think seriously about the
play be has Witnessed for the first time
In all its relations to art. 10 various
aspects of life, and as literature.
such first impression reviews are likely.
indeed, to work considerable hardship
nrst on the theatergoing public. which
has a right to demand from the daily
press adequate and more or less scholarly
criticism. secondly on the managers. who
have in many cases spent thousands Of
dollars and have worked for months IN
making the production. and thirdly on the
players. who have also worked for a
period Of rehearsaIs without salary and
depending upon the success Of the plav
for, their compensation.
In Paris II has been the custom TO hold
dress rehearsals Of all new productions
TO which critics are invited. and one Of
the most prominent Of Partisan morning
newspapers has announced its intention
OF publishing its notices of new nlavs
the morning after the dress rehearsal
instead of the morning after the first
night The dress rehearsal in Paris was
an institution invented for the benefit of
the critics, who are thus enabled to write
their articles at their leisure in the day-
time instead Of 'hurriedly after the first
night
But II seems that the Partisan theater
managers object seriously to the pIan of
writing criticisms from the dress re-
hearsal. One solution Of the problem has
been found by morning paper in Paris.
which announces its intention Of publish
ing a concise summary Of the plot Of the
play the morning after the dress re-
hearsal and holding its critical article
Until the daF after the first night, thus
satisfying the demand for news and at
the same time maintaining the high lit
erary standard.
This plan, it should seem. would be an
ideal solution Of the difficulties Of criti-
cism which lie before the American
dramatic critic. Surely in the case Of a
bis new production one days delay could
make little difference TO the public or the
managers, especially when the public
would find itself better served and might
rely with greater force on the critical
opinions Of the press than it can do un-
der the present circumstances.

Even in the days Of Couey Cibber. the
musical genius seems often to have been
subjected 10 the same annoying indiffer-
eace and impoliteness SO common in New
York at the present day. Cibber himself
gives this example:
While the famous Coreui. at Rome
was playing some musical composition Of
his own 10 select company in the pri-
vate apartment Of his patron cardinal
he observed, in the height OF his har-
mony his eminence was engaging in a de-
t2ched conversation. upon which he suS-
denly stopped short and gently laid down
his instrument. The cardinal. surprised
AZ the unexpected cessation. asked him
# a string was broken. To which CorelT
IN an honest consciousness Of what was
due to his music, replied. No, sir; I was
only AFRAID interrupted business His
eminence took the reproof in good mart
and broke OF his conversation 10 bear

nefore warneld Was Famous.

Speaking the other day Of a Grand

'Warfeld has always been a pretty

In one of those lean times Dave got
an unexpected remittance. and on the
strength Of t invited two Of us to dinner
with MIN. When we reached the table
there he sat, shamefaced and apologetic,
with his we l-cleaned plate before him.
He explained that he was so hungry he
couldn't wait Our chops were brought
TO US, and We all went TO the theater
happy.
Two or three days later the two guests
were again at the same little restaurant.
and chatted with our waitress. Say she
said, that's a pretty good-hearted fellow
you were with. He couldn't afford 70
