Great Modern Industry.


Or old, Artemus Ward, advertising
the exhibitions of his moral panorama,
announced. During the summer vaca-
ton the hall has been swept and
new Knob put on the door" This was
a happy travesty Of the preliminary
theatrical announcements of those
days. In every interval of rest the few
fltmsy playhouses, If the managers
spoke truly, were entirely redecorated
new act drops were painted by famous
artists which. when revealed, seemed to
De very much like the act drops paint

seasons; huge fortunes were expended
on new frescoes and gas fixtures, mir

1T is necessary to repair the walls or
do bit of extra carpentering on the
stage the managers do not advertise
the fact.
The early theatrical announcements
of these days contain no such piffing.
They fairly take ones breath away by
their torrential quality, Plays. plays.

or making the pictures and machin-

Torrance requires, or telling the world
about their merits, for hire and salary,
that the theatrical business has become
one Of the great modern industries.
The lists of new plays promised for
performance this season hereabout
that have been published within a
week or so denote the results of the
labors of a legion of play writer's m
Germany. France, Austria, Italy, and
the United States. many of whom were
unheard of very few years ago. They
will require the services of vast army
of actors. They comprehend all
branches of the drama and its adjunct
entertainment, excepting. perhaps, trag-
edy, which is almost moribund, and
pure comedy of the old-fashioned, up
lifting quality But comedy in these
days is a term of wide significance.
Probably it would be unwise to mourn
the loss of tragedy and the decay of
tragic acting, in view of the excellent
performances of serious lyric drama We
are to have at the opera and the close
studies of the graver side of contem-
porary social life some of the living
dramatists are able to give us.
To speculate on the probable fate of
this or that play In the formidable list
now set before us Is not to be thought
of Some will doubtless blossom feebly
and fade in a week, Others may never
reach the metropolis after trial ION the
road" Some may survive in the cur
rent repertoire for four or five years
and then die of old age If there is an
epoch-malxing work among them, 1T
will not lack recognition. But there
are surely enough to meet all demands
and supply all deficiencies. The Amer
lean theatrical business in the year 1910
is a wonderful business, in which mil
lions of money are invested, In which
thousands of fertile minds are en-
ployed, in which patience and
perseverance-and talent. too, for that
matter-are tolerably sure of reward

An Immigrant Nation.

According to Commissioner of I'M
migration Keefe, the inhabitants OF
southern Italy are settling here in
greater numbers than from any other
country. For the year ended June 80,
the immigrants from Italy were 223,-
453, as compared with 1928 Ruthen-
ians and 1880 Germans, the next
highest on the list. This includes, of
Jewish, which is an improper designa-
ton. The Jews, as the ethnologists
are agreed, are composite of all
races and should be distinguished
only by their religious faith. The
Italian immigrants outnumber these
make up one-haH of the 1,o41,570
who reached our shores within the
year.
The Society of italian Immigrants
reports that the ne,. arrivals repre-
sent often a new, self-reliant type
the padrone." Before leaving Italy
the Immigrant has already absorbed
something of the spirit of the new land
which he intends hereafter to make
his country the report says. The
italians, corresponding with their re-
latives in this country, take a keen
interest in our local and national poll
tics. After the last presidential cleo
ton the White House had to acknoWl-
edge numerous letters of congratula-
tions," from Sicilians and Calabrians.
Mayors of the villages and hanlets in
the Apennines paid written homage to
the new elect The report estim-
ates that less than 25 per cent of 1tal-
ian immigrants come in without q cor
rect notion of the country and of what
they intend to do here.
This is distinctly encouraging. The
chief defect of the Italian immigrant
has been the disposition to stay here
only transiently. Unlike the German.
he has refused to identify himself
permanently with his adopted country.
He is already valuable and indus
trious resident He should become a
citizen and a permanent settler.-New
York Times.
