preposterous limitations.
The actor who plays the part of
Langdon, gives most admirable i'm
personation. He is actually the in
dividual that he represents.
Some time ago, when Messrs.
Brady and Grismer produced THE
Man of the Hour, this newspaper
praised that production and predict
ed great success tor 1t, editoriallv
because it dealt energetically with
real problems of American life, maxi
ing the stage what it should be
teacher and an uplifter.
ms play "A Gentleman from Mis-
slsslppl, should be praised for the
same reasons. 1t is an amusing play.
iuli OF laughter and sentiment from
beginning to end, but it is. above all
an instructive play. 1t emphasizes
the power of truth AID honesty, it
makes the big audiences think. II

actually appeal to base emotions.

I with purpose, conscientious actors
anu managers, cannot possibly be ey-
aggerated. The play is seen and
heard. Men and women gather to-
gether, and association increases the
strength OF their emotions. The read

and impresses the average mind
much less yividly than the excitinp

ashamed to use their power aimless-
ly and purposelessly.
Comedy pure and simple we shall
always have with us, but it will be
comedy with purpose. the com
edy of Moliere or Sophocles. We
shall always have love stories on the
stage, FOR young people must have
their sentimental provender. But
these love stories can be woven into
plays of serious purpose, as in the
case OF "A Gentleman from Mssis-
sippi".
That is good play, and that Is
why 1t Is mentioned in this column.
we propose never to mention here a
book. or play, unless we can ad
wise our readers earnestly to read
the book or see the play, or unless
we feel bound to advise the police
to suppress the book or suppress the
play.
You will probably have to engage
your seats well in advance for "A
Gentleman from Mississippi" and we
are glad Of that II the public wants
good plays with n purpose, 1t must
deserve them by appreciating them.
