Not a Necessity.

Intoxicating drinks are not necessi-
ties. We.can live in health, and " ork
at the most e%xhausting employment
without them. They are expensive in
contrast with food, and they lack the
nutritious qualities of bread and meat
lii, fact, there IS more nourishment
in a single cracker than in a glass of
beer. Fermented and distilled drinks
weaken the mind. They are ''enemies
in the mouth that steals away the
brains," and harden the heart and
conscience. They stain the character,
create a false and dangerous appetite,
kindle the baser passions, and hurry
the victim, soiled with sin, to moral
and spiritual bankruptcy and ruin,
If they begin life with a fair capital of
vitality of body vigor of mind and
constituencies of soul, they are led
astray by that evil spirit, that devil

posed in them. It goes without say

the face of these facts, the friends of
humanity appeal to all who use, and
all who defend the use of intoxicating
drinks, to exert their best endeavors
to prevent the granting of licenses, to
join with the heroic men and women
in their labors of love, to discounten-
ance the sale and use of Intoxicating
p%oisons, which wipes out the likeness
of God from the human face divine,
and writes "beast'' upon it.

NEW YORK, March 19.-It is play
IN OF matrimonial lesson, illustrated
by horrible example, this new farce Of
-Srhe Girl He Couldn't Leave Behind
Him." Before you undertake a future
of wedlock, be sure that you won't
have to take over some girl from your
past The husband in the case, tocular-
ly though instructively presented, is
willing to be fond and true to his Iowa.
bile bride, but his discarded siren is de-
ternined not TO let him. She is a stage
dancer with morals as loose as her
legs. He tells the audience that by q
code OF signals, she used to fling up her
feet one way, in her stage dance, to
let him know, as he sat In a box, that
she'd meet him after the show, and In
another way to tell him she had other
lobster tran he to fry. She wasn't ex-
elusive. She readily consented to his
marrying, though she stipulated that
he spend one day IN each year with her.
II was her idea that, in permitting
him a ratio of 364 percentage of virtue
to one OF vice, she was extremely lib
eral.
He goes on to inform the audience
that, with an inclination to be alto
gether loyal to his wife, he let the end
of the year pass without a visit to his
formerly intimate friend. Thereupon,
spying him In the theatre this present
evening. she kicked to him her demand
that he take supper with her in the
ante-nuptial manner. He asserts that,
like a loyal husband, he disregarded
the message. He found out that she
wasn't girl to be easily left behind,
though. for she focused her lure to
bring him back to her; and he went
solely and only to bid her goo '-bye
forever.
This Spanish dancer is personatei by
that actress Of star degree. Hattie Will
liams. under the guidance of William
Collier. who has shifted the Kadenburg
German farce into New York scene and
idiom. Hattie's first encounter is with
an operate manager wearing the face
of Oscar Hammerstein; also. his fat
brim Fench hat and German-Jewish
accent: and she exasperates him with
her refusal to dance-untfl her former
lover comes to her. His arrival let's
Hammerstein out Of his dilemma and
the play, not to be seen again; and her
giee gives at once a comelier sight in
an impulsive fandango with the hus-
band as a compulsory partner That is
new activity for Hattie Williams, who
has not hitherto been viz aaish In her
larks; and for Vincent Serrano, habit
ually a fervid wooer; but I doubt that
either likes the novelty. except as it
sets the laughter going.
Wicked Farce Factories.
You are mistaken if you believe that
the wickedest farce in the world is
made in Paris; the utmost IS done also
IN Berlin and Vienna; and for that
matter some of New York's own out
put goes to the limit; but the American
Collier has censored the German Ka-
denburg. Then. toe, the wholesome

necessary two seats. Expert belief Is
not unanimous that audiences at stock
theatres dislike to leave their heroes
ana hercines dead or miserably alive.
Think of Camille" EAST Lynn and
Uncle Toms Cabinp Yet the bulk of
opinion is that q new play is safer if
its good lovers are headed for happi-
ness when last seen.
AS first performed in Belgium and
afterwards in Paris and Berlin, The
Heart Hurt came to logical end. A
noted divorce lawyer had a habit of
loving his fair clients and took no very
serious heed of them; but his wife kept
tab on his sentimental affairs. That IS
bad for her, because she has a weak
heart that a shock of emotion might
put out of action The misused woman
has become Injured to casual infldelity,
but when the husband discovers, in a
beautiful Divorce, a sweetheart of his
youth, the already sick victim implores
her healthy rival SO piteously to let the
man alone that the grass widow prom
ises to go away.
Same Old Triangle.
That is the condition Of the triangle
when the last act begins. The husband
asks the widow to meet him once more
just to say good-by. But he makes
the tryst at night in lonely cabin.
There he pleads that she won't desert
him. A storm is raging. What they
take to be the cry of a wounded deer
is heard outside. The husband filings a
door open. A flash of lightning shows
the wife lettering on the Threshold.
She plunges into the room and falls
dead from the hurt in her heart. AS I
saw the play of an afternoon that was
all. The program said, though, that it
was different in the evenings.
The change didn't affect what I had
seen. The woman stayed dead. But
in a brief extra act the WidOwer and
his sweetheart met by chance eight
years later. They had parted over the
wife's body, with a vow to never again
get together. They had suffered much
for expiration and atonement; and as
they were the company's favored lead
ers, the audience was eager to forgive
them. So they agreed to marry. It
really wasn't a test of the question of
happy versus unhappy endings for
dramas.
The story Of lovelorn Charlotte Tenn
pie breaks out simultaneously in two
Brooklyn theatres. Charlottes name
may be read on a brown old tombstone
by peering through the fence between
Broadway and Trinity churchyard; and
if Susannah Rawson's novel can't be
bought, it may still be found in many
musty libraries. EphemeraI dramas
were made out of il back in the times
when Charles Foster and ]. J. Nc
Closky, with scissors sharp and paste
sticky, met the demands of rival Bow

though. In Foster claiming slower ana
more original work, while McCiosky
was proud Of having made q drama
tization Of Charlotte Temple ready
for use in three days-and there were
no typewriters then.
Some Rival Plays.
Theodore Kremer and James sIevin,
not much heard Of since pop-gun passed
into cheap taboo, are the Foster and
McCloslKy who, hearing each that the
other had picked Charlotte Temple Tor
a heroine, rushed rival plays to stock
theatres. The works don't vary much
from each other or the gist Of the novel

The lover meant to be true 70 her but

villains, a man and a woman. and shs
died Of heartbreak. Old-styls managers
have scant faith in plays Of our Reyoiu-
tionaTy period. Kremer and Slevin have
lessened that objection by leaving IN
little save a few red coats 90 give

Bronson Howard gave a dinner to the

then tottering in their eighties-as

the superior palminess of the old days
