Suffrage Movement Soon

are really few followers of the move
ment in the great city. The agitation
is kept alive solely through the efforts
of wealthy society women who crave
notoriety.
The most deeply interested ones are
ladies of the best families, but they
are not serious i'm their fight. These
women have visited the great East
side on numbers of occasions, endeav-
oring to bring the poor into this cru
sade, and although this district in
New York is the hotbed of discontent
the hundreds of thousands there who
constitute the masses have come out in
unmistakable terms against the suf-
fragist movement.
In America the impression has gained
ground that the movement in England
has almost reached the point of sue
cess, but to the contrary the public is
generally disguised with the action of
the women who almost weekly caused
themselves to be thrown into prisons
that they might gain public sympathy.
The constabulary there, and especially
i'm London, have received orders from
the superiors to treat these agitatOrs
as they would ordinary criminals or
offenders who continually disturb the
public peace. In America there are a
few women of influence who are foster
ing the movement, but their numbers
are gradually thinning out, and instead
of parliament ever giving these sup
porters any consideration whatever
the agitation will soon be as dead
there as il promises to be in America
within a short time.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-03-06

The woman's suffragist movement in
America, which was inaugurated sew
eral years ago under the most aus
picious conditions, has spent its force,
and within a very short period the cry
of "Votes for women" will have been
generally forgotten. At one time, in
the United States at least, the move
ment went ahead in the most propi-
tious manner, but the adoption of rev
olutionary methods such as have been
resorted to in England has disguised
everv well-thinking person, and the
women are further from their goal to-
day than at any time in the history
of their awakening.
Personally, l am opposed to the
movement and firmly believe that the
women Of America viii never obtain
the rights of men, The place for
women is the home. and IS soon as
they relegate domestic necessities to
dabble in the public life just so soon
will the education of the newer gem
Grafton be neglected. Aside from the
desire of many thousands to enter
politics, there is a universal yearning
to dress well and parade before admir-
ing eyes. This alone has caused great
neglect in the home and has been the
occasion for the continual grinding of
the divorce mill.
When the suffragist movement start
ed in New York there were score after
score of men who espoused the cause
of women, but in a short time these
same men saw that they were suffering
in their home lives and Immediately
withdrew their support. Today there

BERNSTEIN, NEW HIGH
PRESSURE DRAMATIST

In the world of play-maldng the late
Victorien Sardou occupied a unique
position. He was the universal drama
tst. His literary powers were some
times open to question but never his
skill as play-builder Now that he
is no more it is interesting to look
around to see if there is anyone today
capable of taking his place. Is there
in Franch anyone now writing for the
stage who rises above his fellows suffi-
ciently to be described as the legit-
mate successor of Sardou? OF course
no French dramatist can occupy exact
ly the position that was held by Sar-
dou toward the end of his life, for the
excellent reason that an element of
his pre-eminence was due to his age,
his long experience and his great num-
ber of productions, whereas all the
notable playwrights of the present are
relatively young men. Henri Bernstein
alone stands out as a prolific producer
of successful plays and alone can be
placed, so to speak, in the same class
with Sardou. Bernstein has the purely
dramatic sense more strongly developed
than any other living playwright. His
first dramatic effort was produced in
1901 and since then he has produced
no less than nine plays, several of
which have been great successes and

produced in 1901. Then lie Detour" in
1901, "Joujou" in 1903, lie Bercail' i'm
1904, lie Griffe" in 1905. lie Rafale" in
1906, LIE Voleur'' CThe Thief in 1906,
Samson" in 1907, and Israel" in 1908.
Samson" in which James X. Hack
ell is appearing this season, is one of
the best instance of NJ. Bernstein's
vivid and forceful conception. The idea
of a millionaire sacrificing his entire
fortune in order to crush the man who
had ruined his wife, is not without
some of the grandeur Of the old Greek
drama. In boldness of conception and
brilliancy of execution. Bernstein need
not fear comparison with Sardou. He
may have less ingenuity but he has
greater strength and keener psyche
logical analysis. Bernstein's life is a
perpetual fever. He has always lived
at high pressure; finding himself at
his majority the possessor of large
fortune he knows from personal exper-
ience the kind of moths and insects
that are attracted by the effulgence of
a full purse None better than he knows
the conditions attending the quest of
pleasure in Paris Bernstein has been
through it all and has come out a
conuueror The nervous intensity
which he formerly put into his gam
bling operations and his life of pleasure
he now impresses into his plays and
his method of producing them.

Usually dummy" is used for these
hazardous bits of business, but in the
case of the Apache there is no oppor-
tunity to substitute a lay figure for
the man, and he has to take the
chances of balancing himself safely
throughout the ten minutes he has to
hang over the cliff.
Besides the feat of the Indian In
1.-THE Roundup" there are a number
of other men who imperil their lives
at each performance of the play. The
Indian riders who make the detile of
the mountain pathway are running
risk all the time. The pathway Is mar
row, the ponies frisky and the path
circuitous. Should one of the horses
make a misstep it would mean broken
limbs or death.
The bucking bronco scene in the last
act is a dangerous exhibition for the
men engaged therein, for the space in
which the curvetlng and bucking is
done is scarcely more than forty feet
square. When this feat is done i'm the
great wild west shows of Buffalo Bill
and others of like character there is an
immense space to work in. but on a
stage a false step or an extra run
would carry the horse and rider over
the footlights.
There are many other plays that
have perilous feats set into their ac-
ton, and right rarely and bravely the
players perform their tasks. but those
mentioned are among the most dam
gerous of the lot.

edy tells of the histrionic ambitions of
the daughter of a physician in pri-
vate insane asylum, who has called a
rehearsal of an amateur theatrical club
which is about to produce "Othello' up
on the grounds of the asylum. She is
i'm love with Tom. who is to portray
Othello. About this time a new guard
for the institution has been sent for
and arrives from the German Anti
beer society, who in the course of COM
plieations, mistakes the rehearsing
Othello for an inmate and incarcerates
him. Here the fun becomes fast and
furious and intricacies become more en-
tangled when the doctor learns of the
love of his daughter for the new in
mate and refuses to believe in his san
ity. Jules Mendel will have the part of
the new guard, Barney Williams will
