The Need of Play

With us the hurry habit has become al
most disease, says Orison SWEET Mar
den, In Success Magazine. We get so ac-
customed to the American pace that we
cannot slow down, even when we are not
in a. hurry. Our movements, habits and
manners give us the appearance OF al
ways being in rush, and we hurry even
when on vacation.
Americans do not seem to know how to
let themselves out unreservedly in their
play. The ghost of worry or anxiety Is
nearly always present to mar their en-
joyment, or they fear it would not be
dignified for a man to act like boy.
This keeps many people from getting the
best out of their recreation. When In the
country they could derive a good lesson
in healthful abandon from the young cat
tie or colts when they first leave the barn
In the spring and are turned out to pas
ture. How they kick up their heels, as
though they delighted in mere existence!
Notwithstanding the fact that the
country has so many natural advantages
of pure air, stimulating scenery, fresher
and more healthful food and freedom
from the racking noises of the city, city
jewellers, as a rule. do not age so rapidly
and are much more cheerful than farm
dwellers.
The reason for this is found in the fact
that there are so many more facilities for
amusement In the city than in the coun-

try. People who live in congested dis

are hungry for fun; they live under

silly or superficial, are well patronized.

country people, and everybody knows
that laughter is a refreshener,-a rejuven-

deal to do with keeping city people young
and fresh.
What is needed is more play every day,

"WiIdfire" mt Bijou

Lillian Russell added new laurels to her
fame-if such a thing were possible-with
"Wildfre," the greatest racing play the
stage has ever known and that play, orig
Ral production and some of the original
company, come to the Bijou this week,
commencing Monday night and running
with the regular Bijou performances.
That the present company is strong
one that it fully upholds the spirit of
"Wildfre," and that theatregoers Will
have a real treat this week is shown
from the following criticism of the play
and the company which is taken from
the Washington Herald of Tuesday, Au-
gust %, 1910:
'Wildfire,' the racing comedy by
George Broadhurst and George v. Ho-
bart, which only short time ago served
as a starring vehicle for Lillian Russell,
was the attraction at the Academy last
night that served to draw a crowded
house, and proved SO clever an entertain
ment that 1t is sure to attract large au-
diences all the rest of the week. In
way it is society comedy; but, deal
ing with racing and love. as it does, its
appeal is almost universal 1t has hui
man quality about it that proves wonder
fully attractive; 1t has tense dramatic
situations. a romantic and appealing love
story, and enough comedy throughout
so that neither players nor the audience
can take themselves up 10 hearty
laugh.
Since Lillian Russell starred in this
play in the high-priced houses only a
short while ago, the piece has lost none
of its attractiveness or, apparently. Its
drawing quality. And 1t was remarked
last night by many who had seen the
original performances that the present
production suffers not at all in COM
parison with it, bearing up well the rep
utation of Harry Doel Parker for putting
his plays on in lavish and adequate
style.
Miss Luella Morey is the star now,
and she plays the part of Mrs. Barring
ton, the owner of Wildhre, the race horse
that gets all the good people in the play
out of their difficulties by winning q
critical race, with nerve and grace
that won her hearty applause and adj
miration for her cleverness. The part is
by no means an easy one. 1t Is one OF
those parts that was evidently written
for star, and 1t requires the actress
PLAYING 1t to be on the stage almost
continuously But Miss Morey does not
suffer by this test; is not subdued by
the difficulty OF agreeable presence and
cultured voice, she was always pleasing
when on the stage, and in one or two

a notable example of good character
acting. Miss Elaine Trapp did well as
Myrtle. and Miss Bonnibel Hay as Janet

strongly by reason Of her ability, no
less than the charm of ner presence.
