timely play hat IL produced with any
attempt at things worth while, because
economic things are our chief interest.
But so far the appeal that has been gained
from the subject has been in almost all
cases very cheap and very unworthy. The
reason that people have become enthusl-
astic over such productions as 'The Lion
and the Mouse and THE Battle" and
The Great John Canton" is largely be-
cause they wanted TO see some fair-haired
heroine hurl a set speech Of defiance into
the face Of an ogre money king. That
thrill given them, they were satisfied with
the play. That these dramas" come out
with exactly the same sort Of economic
situations as they began seems not to af-
feet their admirers at all. The audience
does not expect to see any light thrown
on the problem. II only wishes to see
the lion bearded and when that is lone
goes home satisfied. II the play Is ever
written In which economies is taken as q
theme and the theme Is made TO serve the
purpose Of art the subject Of economies will
be illuminated. It will be lifted out OF
sordidness and commonplaces and the au-
thor's thought will come as a flash OF true
light. II will not have the heaviness and
neffectiveness Of a laborious theory nor

We have already commented upon the true

the fact that the actors are artists does
not save the play from being without the

centered in 10" which was offered at
the Boyd theater. This Is the newest Of
the Chicago productions, and is in many
ways the best that has yet been sent out
by the Windy City producers. The book.
the lyrics and the music are all Of high
order. and at times of rare beauty, while
the staging has been done IN a way so
effective that recent experience affords no
contrast Some time ago George Marion
set a mark for the stage picture makers
that has never been approached until "Lo"

suits Of the most satisfying kind. His
blending Of the softer tlnts provided the

the background to the sensuous music Of
the lighter sort common to the musical
comedy. After him came a long list of
stage directors, who assaulted the eye
even as the composers assailed the ear,
with a very riot Of primary hues. whose
very garishness clRmored In q din OF in
congruous CONTRACTS, and offended the
simple taste that finds its pleasure In the
soft beauties of nature. These have had
their day, It is hoped. for they did much
to contribute to the general unpopularity
Of musical comedy. But in Lo" we find
a disposition TO return to the Marion cult
and the handling OF subdued hues In the
costumes and scenery of this piece brings
about such combination as are really
worthy Of the word beautiful" The
humor Of the piece is quiet, and with the
exception of one song, is all along a line
much higher than the common experience
of late times with this sort Of entertain
ment. That To will be a success Is
foreordained, for 1t has in It the
elements Of success, and II 1t does not
prove a welcome relief to a public whose

Inc utter lack Of beauty or romance or
poetry Is exactly what makes the so-called
business play a poor instrument for a
great actor. Men say tina we live I'm An
nnpoetic age, and that we have no patience
win romance. They say this in spite
OF the fact that sentiment rules as abso-
luteiy now as ever before, and in spite OF
the way in which the world is moving
with almost childish wonder through mar
Velous changes in its own conception of
things and control over material objects.
we are in the very midst Of an age that
mas Imagined more intangible things than
any other and yet some men say we are
dull and without the touch Of wonder. So
II Is not because tho things Of today are
In themselves unimaglnative that our treat
ment OF them has been dull. 1t is because
our writer's have been less imaginative
than our mechanics and our artisans. The
world is full of themes present with us
right now that are full Of romance and
timeliness is no excuse for dullness.
