The Misnaming of Stage Productions

The Misnaming OF Stage Productions.
The bane of the stage today is the
misnaming of dramatic productions.
Illustrations of this have been present
ed to the theatregoing people of Rock
Island this week. Monday evening 4
delightful. musical play was given un-
der the title of THE kissing Girl.
One would imagine from the suggestive
name that 1t was an airy, musical skt
bordering almost on the risQue. 1t was
the very opposite. 1t was a first-class
comic opera, full of pretty situations,
clean above the average, with tuneful,
catchy music and song, and withal
one of the best things that has come
out in that line since THE Prince of
Pilsen." But it is suffering because of
a name adopted to catch the class it
does not please; and is apt to keep
away the people who would appreciate
and enjoy it.
Last evening came to the Illinois
theatre the rare comedian of merry
Widow" fame, Max Figman, in a play
styled Mary James Pa" another mis-
homer. What would be your impress
sion at reading such a title, without
taking the trouble to study the story?
The most natural conclusion to be
reached would be that it was on the
order of "Charley's Aunt" or something
perhaps even more overdrawn. In a
word, the average patron of the play
would expect a silly, perhaps coarse.
comedy without rhyme or reason, de-
signed to get somebody into the thea
tire regardless of how far he might be
satisfied
Instead, those who braved the OBJ
stacles of title and went to the Illinois
last evening to see Max Ffgman en-
last evening to see Max Figman, enjoyed,
not an idle comedy, but comedy dra-
ma of the first class, on the order of
The Fourth Estate" beautifully stag
ed, performed by a metropolitan cast,
with thrilling though not sensational
situations. To such play such a name
means nothing, but 1t is everything in
misleading. Thrice named already,
Mary James Pa" is still misnamed
Indeed, it doth appear that there is
need for class in head writing in the

A Dangerous Subject.

Morgan G. Buckley, one of the
gray wolves of the United States
senate, shows his cunning by declin-
ing to debate on political and econ
omic questions with John T. Sey-
mour of Norwalk, a democratic can
didate for the same Office. In an
nouncing his declinatiOn Senator
Buckley said:
"In my opinion the business inter
ests of the country, and especially
of Connecticut, will best be served
by a cessation, for time at least,
of the merits or dement's of recent
tariff legislation until such legisla-
ton has had the opportunity to
prove its efficiency and success"
Yes, NUNS the word. Let money
talk now and discuss the tariff after
election; it's a dangerous subject in
these insurgent times with the cost
of living up in the air.

A Passing Army.

According 10 figures presented by
Commander-iu-Chief Van SAINT in his
address to the Grand Army encamp-
ment at Atlantic City, the survivors of
the war, as represented by that organ
ization number 213 sol. Twelve months
before the number was 100000, while
on Jan. 1, 1908, the Grand Army roll
contained 225,157 names of members.
1t is a decreasing roster of a waning
army. The variation does not, how
ever, accurately represent the mortal
ity among the Grand Army veterans,
as there are some designations and oc-
casional tardy additions from the sur
viving civil war veterans not already
members of the Grand Army organiza-
ton.
The actual death Of Grand Army
men in 1909 was 1928. This is at an
average rate of a fraction over Ia a
day. The mortality varies. In 1907
the Grand Army deaths average % a
day It is a diminishing band, but will
probably be able to continue its en-
campments, reunions and even parades
in some fashion for at least 10 years
to come. After that the Grand Army
men are likely to become, like the
Mexican war veterans, loath to leave
their homes and irresponsible to all
summons to assemble.
Those who estimate the size of the
Grand Army from the pension list are
wide of the mark. Some of the Grand
Army veterans have never applied for
or received a pension, while a large
number of veterans on the pension list
have never become members of the
organization known as the Grand Army
of the Republic. The pensioners are
dying off at the rate of about four an
hour, but the number of civil war vet
Grams on the pension roll at the pres
ent time is not far from 100000
More than half of these, though ell
gible. are not members of the Grand
Army, whose ranks they might easily
double. 1t is probable though, that
the more active-minded and vigorous
of the old soldiers are the Grand Army
men, and that the veterans who will
remain with us longest are those who
kept alive the social spirit of the vol
unteer army and the memories of the
great civil war period through that
splendid patriotic organization, the
Grand Army of the Republic.

A Good Example.

The governor of Maryland has the
old democratic idea that those who
hold Office must attend to their du"
ties. Governor Crothers has order
ed all state officials to attend strictly
to business, or they will be removed.
The national administration could
follow in the wake of this honest
and able official by requiring the
higher officials at Washington, from
members of the cabinet down, to
give up their prolonged vacations.
The meeting of the cabinet just held
is the first appearance of the heads
of departments since the adjournment
of congress early in June, and most
of the assistant secretaries have like
wise been absent.
President Taft's idea that offic-
ials need three months vacation is
demoralizing the departments at
Washington.

A PitifuI Pass.

It is reported upon republican
authority that President Taft while
in Cincinnati succeeded in arranging
a truce between the rival republican
factions in Ohio. But at what cost
may be gathered from the fact that
Boss Cox is the main beneficiary of
the deal Senator Burton, at the
entreaty of the president and for the
good of the party, assumes the part
of the lamb and lies down with Cox
who takes the role of the lion-we
can make a pretty shrewd guess as
to what will happen to the lamb be-
fore the play ends. For several
weeks Cox has been wrangling with
Burton over the latter's failure to
live up to the convention agreement
which he is said to have made with
Cox. "Coxey, old boy" is therefore
not only the boss of Cincinnati, but
he is the important parsonage whom
the president and the other repub-
Ecan leaders of Ohio must placate.
To such g pitiful pass has the g..
D. P. arrived in the state of Ohio.
