Thomas Dixon's New Play, "1'he
Sins of the Father Is
Blatantly Indecent.
OBNOXIOUS DOWN HERE
Hard to Realize, Says Critic,
That 1t Was Written by
Southern Man.
OBNOXIOUS DOWN HERE

In modest personal Statement" by
Thomas Dixon. which was distributed
IN the theatre a week or SO ago, the
author describes his play as "a passion
ate plea for racial purity" and further
asserts that the comedy OF these
scenes is resistlessly funny and the
pathos heartbreaking, while the big
dramatic moments stir the soul to the
depths"
Mr.. Dixon ought to know--he wrote
it--but there is certainly room to qucs.
ton the literal accuracy Of this
shrinking statement.
There is some comedy-many of the
audience laughed heartily at some OF
the scenes in which the negroes fig.
ured--and there are undoubtedly mant
tense and dramatic moments. which
made the house gasp. But the whole
theme of the play is so repulsive, so
offensive. so blatantly indecent, that II
is hard to realize that 1t was written
by a Southern man, to be presented,
apparently with pride, before South
ern audiences, or that the author really
meant what he said in his speecll---that
the thought underlying the play was
inspired by the teachings of a South
ern woman.
The story may be read In book. or,
as In this case, seen on the stage, but
1t is hardly the subject for a newspaper
article, and 1t will, therefore, not be
.retailed, even though 1t had beea
brought out In the play, as Mr.. Dixon,
in his curtain speech, said he had writ
ten 1t, with tenderness and delicacy."
OF the two negroes who amused the
audience, Mrs. Charles G. Craig. as
Aunt Minerva, was much the better.
She was fat and black and looked the
part to perfection. But Arthur j..
Pickens, WHO, as Andy, was called "a
flat-nosed gorilla" has an unusually
prominent Roman nose, and played ac-
cordlngly, though he drew many a
laugh. They We're both gratingly IA
miliar with their gentlefolk, in spite
of the personal attention which Mr.
Dixon is said to have given to the re-
hearsals. Neither John j. Pierson. rs

of the work of Ethel Wright, who

whom rests the unspeakable suspicion

she has very beautiful speaking voice,

EYES ARE WINDOWS
OF THE SOUL
Effect Of the Eyes Upon the
Disposition Of
Women

1.-THE eyes are the windows OF the soul, y
| is an 5oft-quoted expression, the real force
Of which is hardly appreciated.
Medical science has demonstrated that
many Of the causes Of nervous irritation
and headaches, carrying with them de-
pressing effect upon the disposition Of the
sufferer, are, clearly traceable to defective

sation and feeling that creeps into the
disposition Of SO many womqn, is fire.
quently caused solely through the need
llof repairs to these windows of the soul"
An illustration of this occurred in the
office Of St. Agnes Inhrmary, Dis East
EGraceS Street recently. a nervous little
woman is the subject Of the story, and
unconsciously she gave utterance to a
great truth.
She had gone to the famous New York
specialist now at St. Agnes Eye, Ear,
those and Throat In6rmary, 2l5 East
Grace Street, to submit herself to his
marvellous method and prescription
glasses in the hope Of getting some relief
for her eyes, which had been troubling
her for years. After submitting to the
process OF his method, during which time
she recited her numerous ills and ailments,
she finally concluded by saying: am sc
Irritable, doctor; ! don't mean to be So
but little things aggrayate me so that
become so cross sometimes that am
ashamed Of myself.
aAny woman would be cross with such
eyes in her head spoke the specialist
pointing to her eyes. You can never be
anything else than cross and disagreeable
while it remains so.
Continuing his examination, he was
soon in complete possession Of all the
facts in her case, and her relief soon fol
flowed through the practice Of his Original
system and the use Of his prescription
glasses.
A few days later the same party, but
now a bright and smiling little woman,
entered the office of the St. Agnes In
Urinary, .215 East Grace. She was profuse
! in her expressions Of gratitude for the relief
that had been afforded her and the great
benefit that she had derived. As she was
taking her departure she remarked; My
husband says that have changed to such
a great extent that he scarcely knows me.
