A Modern Linquist.

Billy Sunday, the great Baseball
Evangelist has way all his own of
reducing the Biblical Language into the
tongue sometimes dubbed, "The Unit
ed States Language" For instance
the following is sample of his de-
scription of the fight between David
and Goliath, which he used in a recent
address:
i can just picture the old man say
ing, Dave! You had better take some
cheese, and wine, and go out and
see how the boys are getting along"
Dave goes, and Goliath comes out.
And Dave said, who is that big lob.
ster?'' That's the head cheese in the
bunch of Phillistines-the main
works" why don't some Of you &c
out and soak the guy?'' 'The bunch
all get cold feet, when he comes out
here. He does his little stunt every
morning "Oh you fellers make me
sick-give me a sling and some
stones" and he soaked him in the
Cocoa between the lamps, and Dav,
drew Goliath's sword, and chopped of
his block and the gang skidooed.''

1t has been suggested by of1cers
here that the government establish
horse farms for the purpose of breed-

Another plan is for the government ~

THE chill Of a New York frst night
is felt miles away. There Is some ex-
cuss for this, for sbere Is nearly al
ways an uncanny feeling Of loneliness
between the audience and the actors
on an opening night In New York. As
q result performances that has been
keyed up all along IL now keyed down.
Inever feel afraid--not even Of icono-
elastic gentlemen in front-but usual
ly the members Of my company are
scared to death. This makes It very
hard for an actor to get his comedy
over the footlights. There IL more
psychology IN fun than in tears. for
the secret Of hunor is to write up and
play up to q funny situation. A great
comedian. ] always go on the stage
like a fighter going into the ring. /.
Managers are like men who go to
see 80 many prize fights that after a
while they think they know how to
hght themselves Convinced In time
that he knows all about art the man.
ager goes to the theatre and referees
q rehearsal He tells the actor how to
act. That's the worst phase Of the sit
suation today. II the manager would
only stick to business and keep his
hands of art II would be better for
all concerned. Finance and art are not
twin sisters. But IL the theatre must
be put on commercial basis, let clev-
er business men do 1t. But no
one can put real art on . commercial
basis. A.theatre must have more than
financial backing.
II don't imagine the new National
Theatre will have much artistic back
Ing. and certainly can't see it's ma
tionai side. II q man Is coming over
from England to manage eur stage,
another from italy to manage our mu-
sic and still another from France to
manage our dancing, 1t seems to me
that We only need Chinese ushers to
make 1t truly American theatre. You
can spend millions In building a beau
tiful theatre. but you must put some-
thing In 1t before 1t can gain artistic
recognition. Now, Tiffany put up a
beautiful new building. but he didn't
put tin cans In It, He filled it with
diamonds and pearls. In Paris there
10 little box of theatre which prob
ably cost less than the decorations Of
single box in our national theatre.
But Antoine nlled his plain little box
with diamonds and pearls Of ART. ana
ali the world goes there to admire and
to wonder. The directors OF our ma
ticnaP theatre should 10 there ana sea
the work of. the. master hand. or thew
might drop into Beiasco's theatres
right here at home and learn . thing
or two. don't know what they are
going to do, but II what hear is true
III bet could put up tent Just out
side their theatre. and, with a company
OF real American actors draw a bigger
crowd than they could attract with
their beautiful display Of fashion and
architecture
