THE NEW FIELD FOR
THE DRAMATIST
Charles Klein Says "Plays Must Deal
With Topics of the Day to Be
Successful"

Charles Klein, the author of THE
Lion and the Mouse and The Third
Degree" which comes to the Keylor
Grand, Saturday, December II, for an
engagement of two performances, be-
speaks for the stage, and particularly
for the playwright, greater field for
dissemination of sentiments in regard
to the timely topics Of the day, where
in abuses of power are concerned, and
suggesting in the plays remedy for
them. Mr.. Klein says:
g 1t is evident Tat the stage has
just entered upoT new era in which
public opinion is bound to be mould
ed by reason of the production of dra-
mas in which are shown the existence
of grave defects in the carrying out of
legislation The dramatic author has
seen the shadow of coming events and
has been quick to realize that the pub
lie is virile and true to life. No longer
will suppostious heroes clad in doub-
let and waistcoat with clanking sword
be greeted with applause, for he car
ries no burning message to the thea
tergoing public, who see around them
the existence of governmental evils
which are allowed to continue by rea-
son of sympathetic legislators.
THE modern play must deal with
the questions of the day, and at the
same time. in order to be successful
and hold the interest of the audience,
suggest a proper remedy for the evils
in question. 1t is quite true that plays
move in cycles, and at the present
time civic questions are the principal
issue in the dramatic offerings of the
dav. 7 think that my ''The Lion and
the Mouse" is fairly entitled to the
designation of being the forerunner IN
this cycle, and to the observer or mat
ters theatrical it is apparent that the
big dramatic SUCCESSES since then nave
heen plavs that have dealt with civic
"The influence exerted by the drama
that has to do with affairs OF gov
eminent, is so great that its potency
must be reckoned with by those VINO
engineer the plans of the political as
pirants for high offices in the future
Rv the same method of reasoning II is
also apparent that such plays can eA-
ert an influence for great good anc
for great harm. Such being the case
the playwright should bind himseiI os
mental oath as strong as that OF
Hypocrates to write only such plays
as will exert an influence for the pub
lie good"
