PUBLIC WILLING NOW TO
ACCEPT "PRoBLEM PLAY"

One of the theatrical managers, in
announcing his plans for the coming
season, directs attention to the growing
interest in problem plays" SUCH
things used to be sneered at or apollo
gized for, and "commercial' producers
used to leave them severely alone, on
the ground that "the public wished to
be amused" rather than instructed or
"uplifted." Today, we are told. "the
story teller pure and simple is no longer
supreme he must contend with the
thinker and the teacher" and the
highest appeal" must now be mot to
the emotions but to the intelligence OF
the auditors"
1t is true that there is, no longer any
prejudice against dramas and come,
dies that deal with social, industrlai
and political problems. We have haq
nIavs that turned on municipal ana
other graft plays that mirrored phases
of tbe labor question, the question or
race amalgamation, the question or
coI,norate abuses. and so on. Ihe sub
ieots that stir and interest millions OF
neonle that furnish material for scores
pf noIeIists cannot and will not e
"a abooed by dramatists. The themes are
not everything OF course, ana uuli
and crude work will not be redeemed
nv earnestness in intention. There
must be power, imagination, charm,
skill in any play, and success or fail
ure will depend on the presence or alb
sence of these qualities Rec

WHY VAUDEVILLE
GAME IS HARDEST

Nineteen minutes!" exclaimed Flea
nor Gordon, who returns to the city
Of her former stock triumphs, in vaude-
vile now at the Orpheum, "Think OF
it! We have nineteen minutes on the
stage to tell a story, to create an il
lusion of life and to amuse an audience
all the time. And remember the pos
sible deterrent influence upon your act
of the one which preceded it Some
times it is just like getting a child that
is crying for more pio to take a piece
of cake instead"
at is not that the audiences are less
intelligent" said the star of Tips on
Tap" for they are the same people
as refined and cultured people as you
will find in any theater-but it is
because they go to a vaudeville show
in a different spirit. They want to
laugh, and they want originality.
"I have seen many of the best stars
of the legitimate fail in vaudeville.
They don't understand it.
so it is with many people who pre-
tend to dislike vaudeville. They don't
know what 1t is. Because they expect
something they don't get, they are dis
appointed in what they do"
Miss Gordon is not over optimistic in
regard to the tabloid drama.
1--WE seen so many of them fail she
said, "but maybe it is because their
artistic possibilities are not known.
Think Of Maupassant's wonderful short
stories! SO simple, direct and unlYer-
sal in appeal!
Some day, perhaps, there will come
some genius of vaudeville who will do
for the one act playlet what he has
done in the short story"

A DRAMATIC CLEW
TO THE ROSARY"

BY MADAME sCHUMANN-HEINK

The song is so familiar 1 need not de-
scribe how Nevin has expressed this
story of an aching heart in music.
But if you study the melodic outline of
the song it may surprise you to dis
cover the connection that exists be-
tween the poets imagery and the mu-
steal form. All of us do not tell our
beads" as the saying is, but we know
that the rosary is a string of small
beads with a larger bead string be-
tween each set of ten smaller ones.
Now notice the composers phrase, how
it slips along in eighth notes, just as
the small beads would slip through our
fingers. And at the end of every phrase
comes a long note and a pause. This
is repeated over and over after the
manner of the pious deVotees OF the
rosary. Now observe the melodic out
line of the climax on the line TO KISS
the cross-Sweetheart-to kiss the
cross" The first part is sung on one
note. The voice goes up and then
down on the word sweetheart, and
the concluding phrase is sung on one
note as the beginning. The composer
has actually made the sight of the cross
in his notation to convey the idea OF
the crucifix which the devotee of the
rosary kisses in concluding his devo-
tion.
I never heard THE Rosary" until two
years ago. A young woman from ST
Louis, who is now studying for grand
opera in Berlin came to sing for me.
She had a beautiful big contralto voice,
and when she sang 1.-The Rosary 1 was
swept off my feet. 1 got the song at
once studied it and began to sing it in
concert.
Here in America it is the song I love
to sing best. 1t is one of the few songs
[ sing in English, and L know that
every word of it will go straight to the
heart of every listener There is a
spontaneous burst of applause as the
audience catches the first familiar
phrase. Then comes silence that grows
te.s and tenser. L can see and feel
on every face before me that what is
in my heart is in theirs, and we are
both swept along in artistic transport
to that anguished cry for happiness
that has escaped us. A song like that
to make all hearts beat together is a
work of genius.

lation to the story that is going for
ward But nothing is more certain re-
garding the great EliZabethan of whom
so little is commonly conceded, than
that this very knack Of apt by-play
was a sheer tour de force. mere
trick to cajOle the galleries, just as the
modern manager demands the same
thing of the modern playwright. In
deed, a very well jointed thesis might
be built on Shakespeare as a manager
versus Shakespeare as dramatist.
He was a manager always. He made
good. Incidentally. he wrote litera-
ture, because he couldn't help it. He
wrote drama-melodrama frequently
because ne thought hc had to. He
crowded his big canvas with minor
but correlated minor figures, and he
made us interested in the minor strain
of their lives and oings-Jessica and
Old Gobbo, Juliets nurse and the
shreWd old doctor in Macbeth"
The managers of his time thought
highly of Gentle viii. He made sit
uations. The managers OF today are
diffident of his acquaintance, but they
follow his lead in their demand for sit
uations-situations always situations.
And the popular success Of a play
which deiies their logic-and Shakes
peare' 5, toO-they calmly call an eXcep-
ton to the rule. All Of Ibsen is such
an exception, disregarding the emo
tional pessimism with which he looked
on life at times. Some Of our best
modern dramas are such exceptions,
and much of tho ancient dramatic lit
erature of Continental Europe. The
modern vaudeville sketch act, with its
reliance on character acting and one
clean cut, vivid climax, is the nearest
and most significant exception OF all.
In art the great and the enduring
things are exceptional. We fail as by
tote. To succeed is ever a surprise.
