The difference between the play.
house In which we see drama Of
Bronson Towards today and the play
house in which Sheridan's comedies
were originally acted Is greater than
the difference between Sheridan's
Drury Lane and the house for which
Congreve wrote and in which Better
ton acted. And that restoration play-
house was very unlike the Elizabethan
theater for which Shakespeare wrote
and In which Burbage acted. Even
more apparent is the difference be-
tween the theater of Dionysius at
Athens and the Roman theater at
Orange. These theaters are sharply
distinguished from one another by
their size, by their shape, by their
methods Of illumination, by the abb
sence or presence of real scenery and
by the arrangement of the seats for
the spectators. and as we study these
successive changes we are confirmed
In the conviction that these physical
conditions must have exerted a DOW

How 20 Hit.

With one swift. straight right to the
jaw the little man had knocked the
big, fat bully out completely. Now he
was boasting modestly about the mat
ter.
II learned how to HIT" he said.
from Gentleman Jim Corbett. Gen
tleman Jim claims that in street fight
ing If you land one clean right you
win. But few men know how to hit
out straight and clean. They swing.
And swing is no good because it can
so easily be lodged.
ITO hit out with the right straight
and swift-this Is how Jim taught me
to do 1t. You step forward with your
left foot toward the enemy. You hit
straight ont with your right arm as
hard as you can, at the same time
showing your body forward and push
ing OF with the ball Of your right foot
as though you were going to shove the
whole earth from under you.
THAT Is how to land a straight right.
1t Is easy. and 1t wins every time"
