WHY MANY GOOD
PLAYS ARE FAILURES
Writers With an Idea Of Message
Know Nothing of
Stagecraft.

From the Delineator.
In all my years of theatre going l do
not recall a single play that failed be-
cause it was above the heads of the peo-
pie, though I could name thousands that
came to grief because they were badly
constructed-and on the stage this means
stupid-or expressed by words instead of
action which means something much
worse or written in complete disregard
of the likes, dsikes and point of view
OF the audience. which is worse than both
faults combined. And if we trace the
cause of these failures back to their very
roots we will find that in every case
they failed, not because they were in
spired by a serious purpose but because
their authors had not taken the trouble
to master the difficult art of stagecraft.
And this ignorance on the part of creative
ambition is the cause of most of the
failures in life.
When a building collapses it is because
the builder did not know his business;
when coat wrinkles in the back 1t is
not the fault of the wearer but of the
tailor and when fancy poultry farm
goes into the hands Of the receiver it
is not because the hens are lacking in
sincerity of purpose. but because their
owner regarded gallinae-culture as
science too easily mastered to be worth
taking any trouble about
building is an art learned only by
a long and arduous apprenticeship. The
playwright who fancies that he has a
message to deliver to the world is invari-
ably in great hurry to deliver it and
quite blind to his own faults Of delivery.
That is why so few of these great mes
sages, many of which are well worth
listening to, ever reach the people to
whom they are addressed.

our large cities worked a middle-ag

There would soon be another one and the
family was poor.
One evening there was big fire. Ev-

covering it, The middle-aged reporter
was the only one available In his office
and they sent him out on it. At o'clock
in the morning came the word that the
man had been caught under a falling

they found his body, scorched. crushed,
almost unrecognizable.
Up in her cramped little flat, the widow

Breezy Wit of Audaclous Adventurer
Greatly Amused the Poet.

Hall Game in February Appletons.
Among the visitors to Rossetti in his
last days was one daring and adventurous
overcome nearly all fear of his unscrupu-
lousness. Beginning life as the secretary
of Ruskin, he had ultimately lived on his
wits, doing anything and everything for
living, ingratiating himself into the
graces and worming himself into the con-
f1dence of nearly all the painters of Ros-
settrs immediate circle, and making
Rossetti in particular his conscious vic
tim.
One day this soldier Of fortune turned
up unexpectedly at our bungalow and
was received with the utmost cordially.
He was a somewhat battered person.
with the face of Clipped cab horse, but
so clever so humorous, so audacious, that
Rossetti's tagging spirits were wonder
fully awakened by his visit. I think the
poet remarked that the last time they
had met was when his visitor had bought
"a tidy bit of blue" (blue china for him.
And what are you doing now, Charlie?"
said Rossetti.
Buying horses for the King of Por-
tugal," said the soldier of fortune, and
then Rossetti laughed until he nearly
rolled out of his seat.
Our visitor stayed all day, telling
SloTleS, NeTdcious anu dpOCTypHdl, OF
nearly everybody known to us in the
world. and mentioning to me in a sort Of
parenthetical aside, that when he was a
young man that he had written nearly
all of Ruskin's early books. which was
probably true enough. since he had almost
certainly copied them from the author s
manuscript in those better days. when
his fingers had done the work which was
now being discharged by his nimbler wits.
Feeble as Rossetti was at the time, the
visit of this unaccountabe being did him
good, and he laughed all evening after
the man had gone, talking of his adven-
lures. of various kinds, as well as telling
his familiar stories over again. One of
the latter which particularly amused him
was of q man near to death, to whom the
clergyman came and said Dear friend,
do you know who died to save your

man, sis this time for conundrums? ?"
