earth beneath. nor the waters that are TN
der the earth" The composing room was
a genuine triumph I'm the way OF realism.
Ordinary papier-mache machinery was not
good enough for this modern newspaper
play. Real imposing stones. real type, real
cases. real trucks on which real pages
were hauled across to the stereotyping
room In the rear, and, above all, four real
Mergenthaler linotypes casting real siugs,
until the climax OF the dramaturglcal was
reached in the presence OF six genuine
lfe-sized printers, four Of them manning
the llnotypes and the otner two perform
ing around the makeup table. Nothing
more daring in the way Of realism had
ever been attempted, and nothing more
perfect could be conceived; at least so it
seemed to the management a moment be-
fore the curtain went up on the great
scene, Just then It was borne in upon
the management aforesaid that even in its
great wisdom It had not considered every
thing possible in the way of realistic re-
production OF a newspaper office on the
modern stage. While waiting to go on
with their turn the printers fell TO con-
versing with some Of the other supes and
learned that the supes were paid 80 cents

why" he said, you fellows. don't go
away They want you to go on now; the
curtain is Just going up."
Not for us" the printers replied with
one voice.
Why, wotlnhell's the matter?' demanded
the stage manager.
why, we are union men, was the reply,
"and as members Of Big six we can't
touch a linotype or a slug for less than
the union scale"
well, what is your union scale?'
"ThiTty-one dollars and a half per week"
And the stage manager fell back in a
faint.
But the audience was waiting, the real
ism had been advertised. and there was
only one thing for the management to do.
Thus, six printers went through the New
York production getting the scale of $31.5
per week, which is about the highest price
ever paid for supes at a New York theater.
The probabilities are that when 1.-The
Fourth Estate takes to the road for its
final tour through the country the Mergen-
thalers will be painted on a beautiful fire
proof curtain.

possess such a small amount that analysis
could scarcely be achieved without a mi
oroscope. and the result would probably
prove nothing. The popularity the piece
has achieved must rest on the fact that It's
essential appeal is directly to the sensuous
side OF mans nature. Producer Savage
thoroughly understands how to make this
appeal effective. A combination Of music,
lights and pretty women properly adjusted
can be resisted by no one Of ordinary sus-
capabilities, and, while the test will prob
ably never be made, II It were possible to
subject an anchorite TO the Influence OF
the Savage production OF the Lehsr opera,
the betting would be odds on that the an
chorite would be moved unless. perhaps

fled. But men and women OF this descrip-
tion do not exist today. or II they do they
lind their pleasure elsewhere than at the
theater. THE Merry Widow" is being Of
fered to people OF ordinary flesh and blood,
and therefore Is producing it's effect with a
certainty as exact as any chemical re-
action could possibly be.
.
Mr.. Savage was sufficiently astute TO
provide the opera with proper invesuture.
An Omaha friend reports having seen il In
London, where the scenery was merely
painted on flat drops and the stage left
bare. The effect was disappointing, Mr..
Savage, wise in his day, handed the mat

comes a thing OF life so attractive. so
Marion's genius for dressing the stage in
musical comedies has been tested on many
occasions. The sultan OF Sulu,' "Th

successes derived most of their popularity
from the settings provided by Marion. His

ton to the word. He rehearses the dances

vides the costumes,l whose colors blend so
tremendously into pictures that charm the
eye while the music soothes the ear. In
fact, he leads the assault on the senses to

most favorable for the enjoyment of the

Yesterdays wounds which smarted and
bled,
Are healed with the healing w~hich-night

Listen, my soul, to the glad refratn;

And puzzles forecAsted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again.

Jury Recommends Mercy for
Arthur Browning

himself once in the stomach.
Insanity was the defense raised by
his attorneys, Benjamin Bloch and
