touches the emotional it is impossible
not to feel that he has his tongue in
his check.
One of the biggest successes of the
year has been Mr. James Forbes's
1.-The Chorus Lady and this is one
of the plays that ] would characterize
as displaying the Fitch influence. The
first act is really good, but after that
the author uses all the Fitch tricks
and the play sways between melo-
drama and horseplay. The main
character, Patricia o 'Bricu, is supposed
to be the slangy chorus girl, and here
rs the germ Of good dramatic
idea. But in order to get .'laugbs' -
the author has stuffed his character
with slaugy ''sayings' almost to the
point OF boredom,
Another clever play that suffered
from the same influence WAS
"Clothes, by Messrs. Pollock and
Haywood M. Pollock is undoubtedly
coming dramatist, and mp to now
there has been evidence Of fine virile
point of view. But whether it was the
title or an obsession produced by writ.
ing on so essentially . feminine topic,
this play suggested Fitch too often
for its good.

and again the audience were listless.
This was followed shortly after by a
revival of Mrs. Waren's Profession y
which over year ago, had one per
tormance in New York the police
ii viii be embered-stopping it and
closing the theater. As the writer con-
tended then, tho police were not neces
sary; the public itself would have closed
the theater In very little time If such
hubbub had not been made over the
play. The crime of the play is not so
much the open discussion of harlotry
as 1t is Mr.. Shaw S lnsincerity-his In
ability TO be serious when drawing Il
tragic subject-his great artistic error
in making laughable that which to
every ri%ht thinking person Is q mat
ter of tears.
What would theatrical season in
New York be without its quota Of that
peculiar form of entertainment that
was once known as comic opera, but
has more recently become the musical
melange," "the musical cocktail, -
"the musical fantasy etc, etc, The
public has grown a bit tired Of having
the theatrical reporter hark back TO
the days of Gilbert and Sullivan, but
for generations to come that combl.
nation of librettist and composer Is
bound to remain an ideal, an idol and
idyl
There are eighty-two reasons why we
have not librettos that are worthy of
the Gilbert and Sullivan tradition. One
will suffice. The man who can write
good libretto Is able TO write good
play, aud he sees no particular reason
why he should divide the royalties with
composer.
One man has appeared on the field who
has shown that ne has the ability of
the dramatisC allied to the willingness
to be n librettist. That man is Henry

though there has been a steadily in.
crenslng depreciation. The climax came
this season, when Mr. Fitch turned out
four plays and the public turned every
one Of them down His dramatization

Liberty, while the town amused itself
with many suggestions to the effect that
the ''Girl Who Had Everything
might find il necessary to divide with
Mr. Fitch If he continued TO turn out
plays of that calibre.
On February 10 Mr. Fitch produced
two plays at different theaters and re-
spouded to the call for "author' at

or's inability TO understand that the
American husband does not take it as
n matter of course, or as a joke. that
a young good-for nothing should en-
deavor to effect a liaIson with his wife.
The success of Mr., Fitch in the past
has had it's bad effect in that some of
the younger American dramatists
have observed too closely the methods
by which he has won public favor.
Clever, Mr.. Fitch is undoubtedly, but
it is an episode cleverness, a tricky

for characterization, and when he
