For the gallery is, after all, but
smaller definition of Mankind whom we
can study and rejoice i'm at short range,
Far more truly than shop or home or
college or laboratory, the theatcr re-
fleets and embodies the spirit of man..
1t is not merely a gallery, with whom
we may shatter a lance, if we will. 1t
is not merely the men in the gallery,
nor the women (whom [ cheerfully eX-
empt from any unkind things l may
have said about gallery folk in gen
crab. 1t is MANA different and a
mysterious animal. The centuries have
prodded and pampered him. and so he
has been lightly called the heir of the
ages. Every reformer has entered the
lists against him, and many reactiona-
ries. He has outlived them all. His
will in the theater is despotic and i'm
perious He does not shun the or
chestra seats. but have found him in
most luxurious and riOtous abundance
in the upper gallery.
Ten years ago the foes of Dickens
were freely prophesying the swift
demise of his popularity. The more
they prophesied the more, apparently
did the public defiantly disregard their
judgment, for the publishers of late
years report a steady increase in the
demand for his works, to meet which
new editions are issued with holiday
regularity. Beerbohm Tree in Lon
don instituted a Dickens revival on the
stage, and San Francisco and New
York have witnessed successful pro-
auctions of the plays into which the
novels have been magically trans
muted.
Los Angeles will share in the vogue
which has been one of the amazing
Developments of modern literary taste.
Edwin Stevens and company this
week will present a series of charac-
ter types from the pages of the novels
at the headliner of the Orpheum
vaudeville bill. Even so do the elas-
sizes, majestically denied entrance INTO
the higher priced playhouses, mon
chalantly find their way to the public
which appreciates them.
Martin Beck has given us operate
vaudeville, and now he renews our ac-
ouaintance with Dickens. Mark my
word. his next step will be a one-act
version of "Hamlet" or king Lear
