- ARTOONISTS, like poets, are
81 born, not made. The theme
of a cartoon is sometimes con-
ceived solely within the brain
of the draughtsman and brought into be-
ing independent of outside suggestion,
yet even the caricaturist possessed Of
original ideas is frequently called into
the sanctum of the managing editor.
where suggestions from the chief and
his corps of editorial writer's are
weighed and the theme of the days
leading ink and idea cOncoctiOn is de-
termined upon.
The art of caricature as we have it
and as we know it is product of the
nineteenth century, and, while in the
United States it occupies a place of i'm
portance, it is one of the few innova-
lions of the past hundred years that
this country was slow to develop.

men is probably as old as satiric verse,
If not older" say Arthur Bartlett Man

public opinion is essentially a product

The birth of Punch in 1871 was the
beginning of the modern caricature,
although the Punch cartoons, now so
famous, did not start until 1913.
Of our own wielders of the satiric
pen perhaps no better known exponent
of the art has held popular favor than

fury exerted wide influence What his
pencil did for the breaking up of the
Tweed gang in New York is familiar
story. The donkey now familiar in
the American cartoon was first used
by Mast in 1874. To Mast also be-
longs the dinner pail as symbolic of
the mechanic.
While Thomas Mast is considered
the pioneer American caricaturiSt,
Bernard Gillam'S conceit of James @.
Blaine as the tattooed man takes rank,
next to several of Nast's, as perhaps
the most famous cartoon ever printed
in the United States. This caricature,
appearing in Puck during the heat of
the Cleveland-Blaine campaign, was
most strongly obnoxious to Blaine be-
cause of the tattoo marks that spelled
out the word bribery" drawn on the
figure representing him. Mr. Blaine
was dissuaded from prosecuting the
publishers of Puck only after the
strongest pressure had been brought
to bear to turn him from his resolve.
Curious to relate, Bernard Gillian
was an ardent Republican, voting for
Blaine. and was suggesting equally
soaring caricatures of Cleveland and
the Democratic party for Puck's rival,
Judge, at the same time he was execut-
ing his historically famous tattOOed

Coming down to recent years, the
cartoonist found in the Spanish war,
the Dreyfus case, the South African
war and the trusts some valuable ma
terial for the outlet of his artistic en-
ergy. The caricaturist of today stands
well up in his profession. though his
creations, on the whole, display per-
haps no better draughtsmanship than
his predecessors had the reputation of
executing.
Of the most prominent of our pres
ent day editorial-in-picture artists may
be mentioned Homer Davenport, New
York Mail, originator of the familiar
figure symbolic of the trusts and the
dollar sign suit Of Mark Hanna; Fred
erick A. Opper, New York American.

Devil" every night at two theaters.
The play is the work of a Hungarian,
Franz Molnar, and, while it bears all
the earmarks of a novice, it teens
with situations, forced at times and
at others so simple and natural that
it gives promise of better work in the
future
The play is declared to be SYM
bolism in modern garb. The devil ap-
pears as a highly polished gentleman
of cynical wit and worldly philosophy
and is intended to represent the evil
side of mans inner conscience persona

bers of Viennese society, while the
only one who escapes his clutches is
already a social outcast
One critic declares that it seems a
pity that great artists should be COM
PEELED to resort to such characters in
order to establish their greatness.
Why, he asks, do so many dramatists
assume that audacity is the greatest
attraction they can offer? Why does
nearly every writer in the dramatic
field assume that one particular crime
makes the most effective situations?
Why do they throw decency to the
winds and offer problems which are
simple, common, nauseating and de-
PRAYED?
One of the best things said of the
late Bronson Howard was that his
plays We're always clean, and yet
many of them were successes. Shaw,
Ibsen, Sudermann and their followers,
who have too often taken contrary
course. have undoubtedly produced
plays that have been talked about, but
their success on the stage has been
ephemeral, in this country at least,
and few representations have gener-
ally been sufficient unless some great
actress like Nazimova compels a longer
hearing through great histrionic ability.
