A Great American Play.

Has it waited for a foreigner to write
a great American playH The Melting
Pot" by Mr.. Israel Zangwill, which is
being seen this week at one of our
local theaters, would indicate So For
in it finds expression the very genus
of our national life, not the spirit of
a single event, as in Alabama" Here
is a study of America as the world
must see it--a crucible which is an
healing all the people of the earth
for the making of the American.
In such a light, this work has an in
terest additional to that of dramatic
intensity or skillful delineation of char
acter. It is the realization of an I1ea
and the projection of it in so clear a
form that all the world can cOmpre-
bend it, large as it is. And we are
none the less impressed by it, We
Americans, because it is the view If a
Londoner, of race alien even TO Eng
land, and is seen in a perspective which
is denied the most Travelled of us Amer
leans.
But there is another point of view
which holds the mind 10 this play long
after the performance has been ended
and the playhouse been darkened. 1t
is that here in Gods crucible racial
prejudice like that which has been else
where erected against the Jews is only
scum. This is the nation of man. Here
there is no cast which man cannot defy,
no privilege which man cannot earn,
no distinction which worth cannot pro-
cure. From Roger Williams and James
Oglethorpe to the hOrdes that have
swarmed through the New York immi-
grant station, that has ever been the
call of America. 1t is its call today.
At bottom it is priced as a personal
possession, this right 20 attain, by the
typical American wherever he lives-in
the heart of a skyscraping city, in the
openness of a ranch wide as the hOri-
zon, in new States and old, in poor
homes and rich.
Prejudice cannot strive against such
a spirit. But it is good for US Americans
amongst whom prejudice must find its
allies, if any be found at all, 20 see
the danger, to be shown the old truth
that earnestness and industry are the
keys to American character, to be
brought into sympathy with the op-
pressed of every land 49, the Jews Of
Russia not less than the Huguenots of
France and the refugees from an op-
pressive landlordism of Ireland For
any play which can mirror these truths,
America can afford to be grateful, and
she Is, whether the author be native or
foreigner.

Enough of Bronze Horses.

A great arch to be dedicated to the
everlasting union of the States is sug-
gested to the District Commissioners
by the executive committee of the
Meridian Heights and Lanier Heights
Citizens Association. Both the sub
ject and the form of the proposed me
mortal are good. For the adornment of
Washington it is essential there be
something in future to vary the sta
tionary cavalcade of bronze horsemen
and their mounts.
where's your horseg" 1t was the
Garfield monument at the foot of the
Capitol grounds which called forth that
question. The Lincoln shaft, before
the City Hall, and the figure of the
Great LiberatOr in Lincoln Park are
other exceptions, though the former is
no addition to the Capitals art interest.
John Jay and Washington sit in curule
chairs. Webster and Pike stand. Best
of all these non-equestrian groups is
the Hahnemann monument, facing Scott
circle.
But these do not vary successfully
the OrnamentatiOu of our parks. There
is room and need for much more. The
plans of the new Columbus memorial
for the Union Station plaza, illustrate
the opportunity along this line which
awaits resourceful designers That is
to be the prov of one of the caravals
which bore the great discoverer to
these shores. The peristylic structure
suggested for the Lincoln memorial is
similarly illustrative. But nowhere is
there an arch, though it is one of .the
most imposing, dignifed, and beautiful
forms which such a tribute could have.
BY all means, let the city have a
memorial to the everlasting union of
the States if funds can be obtained
for it. But let there be an arch for
the better adornment Of Washington,
whether it be dedicated to that epochal
circumstance OF not.

The Bath Justified.

The question whether the bath is
necessity, a luxury, a mere habit, a
fad, or what, has long puzzled those
superficial biologists who spend their
time in searching the human anatomy
for fins, sails, or propellers. The alb
sence of fins, it has been argued, indi-
Gates that man is not a fish. The
absence of prOpeliers, viewed from the
archaeological standpoint, seems to dem
onstrate also that man came into be-
ing before the era of steam. And the
lack of sails, spars, and rigging shows
that the human creature can't stand
before the wind, or run down leg of
the breeze, in the way commended by
yachtsmen and others concerned in the
custody Of cups and similar trophies.
In Pittsburg a court of competent
jurisdiction has lately granted a di-
vorce upon the mere ground that the
applicants husband had not taken a
bath in eleven years. Why the lady
whose marital experiences were thus
discontinued should have waited eleven
years before seeking relief does not
appear, but it may have been due to
that ignorance of the rule laid down in
III Smith and Snoozer, 476, that, in the
absence Of precise proof, every married
person of the male sex is legally pre-
sumed to take a bath once a year,
whether he needs it or not.
The decision also seems to establish
the fact that bathing is not wrongful,
unnatural, or in violation of the pre-
scriptive rights of fishes, sailboats,
sttt mships, motor boats, or submarine.

MelOdTama on the Wane +?

More and more theaters are turning
TO moving pictures, which, with their
vivid depletion of the ways of kings
and political candidates, of heroines of
famous trials and heroes of the base
ball field, are indeed a genuinely popu-
lar sample of up-to-date entertainment.
So we come to wonder if the rise of the
moving picture show means the fall of
the old dramatic hair-raiser known as
the melOdrama.
Some solid ground exists, no doubt,
for asserting that the patrons of the
lowpriced theaters have tired of the
ancient stereotyped thrillers; and they
would be soft marks il they didn't.
The people like novelties, and this ex-
plains the great vogue of the moving
picture and the illustrated song; but
there still remains a considerable popu-
lar fOndness for melodrama How long
it viii last is another question, for in
addition TO the pictorial amusements
there is also disappearing taste for
musical eomedy"-which may be Tnu-
steal or comical, but which is seldom
both.
The times change and the theaters
change with them If they did not, how
could anyone account for the circum-
stance that half the shows on the road
today make a special feature of some
one of the fifty-seven varieties of the
SalOme dance?

OUIDA'S LATEST BOOK RECALLS
FACT THAT CRITICS NOW
ADMIT HER TALENT

The publication OF "Helianthus."
Ouida's last novel, arouses strange
memories IN the older generation or
novel readers. 1t Is more than forty
years since Under TWO Flags" ap-
peared, and Ouida became in a moment
one Of the most popular of English nov
elists. A few years ago it was the fash
ion to ridicule her extravaganza, her
worship Of aristOcracy, her contempt for
her own sex. and her occasional hnguis-
tic blunders. But the notices that ap-
peared in the papers after her death,
last winter, showed a very different at
titude. Critics of standing were not
afraid to pay tribute to her real power,
her ability to seize and hold the read
ers attention. 1t came out that men
Ike Tennyson and Andrew Lang read
her novels and enjoyed them-more than
that, were not afraid TO acknowledge
their enjoyment. 1t was the general
verdict that Ouida, with all her early
faults Of taste and crudities of style,
possessed talent Of very high order
II is said that "Helianthus" was be
gun at least ten years before the au-
thOr's death. A year or two ago the
manuscript was put in type, and 1t had
been partially corrected by the author
before her death Although the story
as II stands Is incomplete, IL was OBJ
viously near its end. The book con-
tains 445 pages.
From the amount OF time Ouida gave

as from its grandiose scheme, II may De
surmised that she intended II 10 sJah1
