snCRECY OF THE CENSUS.

nation Desired.
Boston Transcript.
The delusion that the census is a great
detective agency and that the director
knows everything about everybody in the
United States springs perennial In the in
qpisitive breast A woman whose husband
ran away from her years ago thinks that
with the particulars she supplies, that he
went out west" and is said to have mar
ried there q Swedish woman" Director
Durand ought to be able to bring him to
book. OF course plenty of answers arc OBJ
vious. The census Is often the resort Of
persons who desire to fill gap in their
genealogical table. One quest OF this kind
In which the aid Of the late Carroll D.
Wright was involved was pathetic. The
applicant, an elderly man. wished to aseer-
tain the maiden name Of his mother. He
had been orphaned of both parents at an
early age and brought up by strangers,
He remembered his father but not his
mother. The search was Intellectual, owing
to the vAsueness OF the applicants infor-
nation and the looseneas of old-tlme regis
tration OF births, deaths and marriages.
These instances are illustrative OF the
popular demand that everything which
the ccnsls7tskers find out should be
made available to the general public
The policy OF the government is entirely
different; 1t virtually promises secrecy
TO the individual whom it approaches
Results would be far less satisfactory II
all the Individual data went into public
record, because 40 many people--for good
reasons or Otherwiss-would seek TO evade
giving the information desired. The AIT
thorities have accordingly felt that they
had 70 choose between information evasive-
ny given. but open to the public, and reAl
facts secured under the virtual pledge OF
I secrecy.

HANFORD AND HIS
AMERICAN PLAY
Shaksperean Actor Tells
Why He Likes His
Newest PLAY.

The motives which led Charles B. Han
ford to interrupt his career in the class
les to present play entirely modern
in its interest, have naturally been the
subject of some curiosity. Mr. Hanford
rather resents the suggestion that he is
abandoning an ideal or risking any ais
appointment for auditors who have
learned to rely on him as the standard
bearer of the Shaksperean drama in this
country. In proof OF his loyalty to the
classic cause he calls attention to the
fact that The Tanning of the Shrew''
is still retained in his repertory.
4 recognize that this being free
country. every man is entitled to exact
from his public servants both in politi-
cal and in artistic life, the kind of ser
vice that best pleases him. The public
is the supreme critic. 1t deals with a
subject by impression rather than by
intellectual analysis; but its conclu-
sions like those reached by woman's
intuition, as the nOvelists call it, are
usually correct
why do you prefer your present We
hicle, the American Lord to Shaks-
perez"

pere. [ once knew. a man who had writ

SHAKESPEARE | selected the American
Lord because, when my life long man
ager, T. Lawrence Walker, brought the
manuscript to my attention it appealed
to me SO strongly. 1t was my ideal OF
what an American play should be-hu-
morous without descending to burlesgue,
robust in its plot interest without being
melodramatic and patriotic without the
introduction of artificial platitudes
"0ne OF the first things that struck
me about the play was the strong con-
trast of Characterization without sacri-
flee of dignity on either side On the
one hand is John Breuster, the role I
assume, typical western American
the soul of honor, fighter, yet a gen
erous victor. In contrast to him is the
English lord who displays absolutely the
same qualities although giving them ex-
preston by wholly different methods of
speech, manner and thought. Lord Wy
cherry Is no less a man and a fighter
than John Breuster and it is the OppO-
sition of two strong natures, each con-
scientious and chivalrous, that gives the
plot its great vital interest and makes
it interesting to Americans and English
men alike

'"The American Lord" four-act
comedy by George II. Broadhurst and
Charles T. Darcy, is the offering for to-
night at the FL PasO theater.
In brief, the story of The American
Lord is that of John BreuSter, North
Dakotan, who is about TO be nominated
for congress when he learns that
through the death Of Lord Breuster he
has become heir TO the title and estates
of the fine old English house He gives
up his ideas of going to Washington,
and, although having little liking for
some of the ways of the English,
crosses the ocean TO claim his own
With his hereditary feud with the
house OF Wycherly and his good ma
tured attempts to introduce his Ameri-
can methods of doing things, Breuster
finds himself fully occupied. Imagine
his feelings. then, when he discovers
that his daughter and the son OF lord
Wycherly are in love. and that MS son
has lost his heart to an English girl
Breuster makes il three of a kind by
falling in love with an attractive Irish
widow, Mrs. WestbroOke. and the story
ends most happily Seats are now sell
