British Theatrical Hopes.

1t 10 reported from London hat a
literary theatre"-a theatre for intelli-
gent people"-has been successfully
established there. The report rests on
the fact that a venture. inspired by al
tistic ideals has done so well during the
last three years at a small theatre that
il ia about to move to n Of the great
stages of the metropolis. While the
rest OF us have been talking about a
permanent representative theatre" re-
marks the London Nation, -Messrs.
VEDRBNNE and BARKER have founded
the very theatre wewant, without public
or private subscriptions" A self-sup-
porting, permanent. literary institution
is the very theatre New York wants, too.
The Vedrenne-Ba Barker enterprise deserves
our attention.
Its financial independence can hardly
be regarded as beyond doubt until a
trial of some length has been made at
the larger theatre. We may assume,
however, that Its prospects are promis-
ing, for three years experience even on
a small scale must have taught the man.
agement a good deal about the demand
for their productions.
As for the plays offered by London's
literary theatre" Messrs. VEDRENNE
and BARKER have hardly brought out a
single piece which has not been seen also
in New York. In several instances New
York has been ahead OF them. Their
success is largely due to an author who
was already popular here, Mr.. G. B.
SHAW, and they will open at their new
theatre with nothing more novel to US
than Peer Gynt' and -Cesar and Cleo
patra." The main difference in this re-
spect between the two cities is that while
London has concentrated its highbrow
drama, the production Of il in New York
and quantity Of popular demand are
concerned, this difference is not discour-
aging to us; but from another point Of
view the maxim Union gives strength"
seems applicable TO the present case.
As a school Of stage management and
setting the Vedrenne-Barker theatre is
easily ahead of any rival either in Eng
land or in this country; IL may even be-
compared with the Theatre Antoine in
Paris. A at ANToINE's. the London
theatre has eliminated stars" and made
the ensemble the chief consideration.
At both of them artists mediocre else
where have revealed unexpected gifts.
At both many stage conventions have
been rejected and earnest attempts
made TO secure the illusion Of life. Such
ends cannot be compassed in poor and
false plays, and progress toward them
depends on CONTINUITY OF effort. Hence
the concentration Of literary drama in

1t is said that the report Of the board Of

II In further reported from London
that Mr.. q. b. SHAW has solved the prob
lem Of tho censorship Of the stage. He
does not get rid Of the knot by cutting 1t.
He declares that "a wise control Of the
stage by the community is very much TO
he desired indeed" He In ferocious, Of
course, toward the existing British sys-
tenn, but he adds: Il prefer u censor
to Mr.. COMsTOcK." Since freedom Is

pality n the best censor within reach

with the real problems Of life and that
they would therefore take n more in
telligent view Of plays dealing with such
problems than car be expected either
from an aloof State official or from the
employee Of a private and possibly mar
row minded society. THE authority
Of the municipality" he urges, would
act as a bulwark against Comstockery.
He could not act directly through the
police, but would have to convince a
majority OF the city council before the
very serious step could he taken IF re-
fusing TO renew a license" Apparently
Mr.. SHAW rates the intelligence Of NUM-
cipal councillors higher than that Of the
average jury. The London County
Council is in his mind, and that body
has shown such extraordinary ability TO
absorb miscellaneous functions hat the
censorship may very possibly he added
to the list.
II may be noted, however, that the
men in whom Mr.. SHAW places this
amiable confidence have lately con-

The Prcviousness of Governor Glenn.

The PrcytOusness of Governor Glenn.
What does Governor GLENN of North
Carolina mean in statement to the press
prepared bv himself when he a V that
the terms of the truce arranged with the
Southern Railway Company and the
Atlantic Coast Line constitute a victory
"for State rights and the peoples rights?
There has been no authoritative deci-
sion on any point Of law involved in the
controversy over the constitutionality
Of the North Carolina rate law, and there
will he one until the Supreme Court of
the United States passes upon il. What
is the motive of Governor GLENN and
what his purpose when he breaks out in
this exultant fashion:
There were many things that added TO the VIC
tory: the righteousness Of the cause and the deter
mlnation OF the people through heir officers no niger

interference OF the Federal courts
Furthermore, why as a party TO a com

a judgment by the court Of last resort
should he call upon other States in the
I illDH W CbilllIlbf lHt IkIl dlIttt1N
| begun in North Carolina" and declare
that with the power of the Federal courts
curtailed lin the future there will be no
trouble to control and direct railroads
and other corporations?
The agreement signed by the counsel
for the Southern Railway and "R. B.
GLENN, Governor" vas simply an ar
rangcment to avoid further conflict of
court processes; the obvious rights of
! appeal in cases begun and the States
right to indict the Atlantic Coast Line in
one ease were declared: and the South
ern Railway Company, not abatinG its
contention that the new State law was
unconstitutional, agreed to put the two
and o~ne-quarter cent rate into effect
pending a decision by the Supreme
Court of the United States. Victory will
materialize for one side or the other in
| this important controversy only when
that decision is pronounced. In the
meantime Governor GLENN recedes from
the untenahle position which he took up
when he announced that every legal
order of the Circuit Court will be obeyed, q"
implying that as Governor he would be
the judge of the Legality of any order Of
the court.
When the Hon. ROBERT b. GLENN,
with the ink oil the truce protocol still
wet. boasts Of a glorious victory over the
other litigant, and blows a windy blast
on the trumpet Of State rights, he incurs
the suspicion that he is willing to Use
his position as Governor to impress the
courts. II he were a candidate for office
and not Governor he would be called a
d~emagogue. Nothing could be in worse
taste than this gratuitoIs Statement to

Franklin County Fair association, will
be held as usual at Sheldon this year,
from Tuesday, September 3, to Friday,
September 6, inclusive. This will give a
four days fair instead of three as hereto
fore, and at no greater expense to the
people, for the management has voted to
allow everybody to be admitted free on
the first day. 1t is believed that this
generous concession will add greatly to
the popularity and resultant success OF
the fair.

Always to be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morning
with a dull headache and tired, stretchy
feeling, it is an almost certain indication
that the liver, or bowels, or both, are
decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest and
best of all doctors, takes this means to
give warning that she needs the help and
gentle assistance which can best be OBJ
tanned from that old family remedy,
Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use
for over century.
They are the same fine laxative tonic
Dill your grandparents used, when doc.
tors were few and far between and when
people had to have remedy that coulG
absolutely be depended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon and are sold in every drug ant
medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.
