play has met with wonderful success
In England and Russia. flfty-nine com

audiences the presentation is made by
special organization and the play
Will run continuously during a pre-

during the regular subscription season
While "The Blue Bird" quite natural

story Is picturesque and deals with
the adventures OF little folk, many of

LATE VIEWS ON FLIRTING AND
coURTsHIP.


II there is any advantage in having
public exposition Of the technique Of
flirting and courtship, then a joint de-
bate should be arranged for the two
eminent authorities who have lately
expressed themselves on these topics
says the Chicago Record Herald.
DR.. G. Stanley Hall, president OF
Clark university, founder OF the Amer
lean Journal of Psychology. and au-
thor OF an elaborate work on Adde'S
cence," holds that flirting Is especially
natural to young girls, that SO far from
being harmful II is womans emotional
safety valve. and that man-made law
Is powerless to suppress II.
Miss Laura Jean Libbey the author
of various novel8 and plays super
charged with emotional interest, has
taken the stage in a heart-to-heart
monoogue and appears to entertain
the view that girls, so far from fiirt-
ING effectively, do not fiirt at all. To
her it seems that most Of our Ameri-
can girls are too shy" and that only
the widow preferably the Merry
ow-understands how to bring a
man round
A valuable element In such con
ference would be Bernard Shaw, with
his views on the life force" and on
woman's pursuit Of man. His cock
sureness, added to that Of DIR. Hall
and of Miss Libbey, might bring order
out Of chaos-or else lead to confusion
worse confounded.
But the interesting figure in this i'm
broglio is the young man against
whom all these wiles and maneuyers
are brought. The more talk there is,
the wiser he gets; the wiser, the more
cautions: and the more cautious, the
more reluctant. It seems poor policy
to remind him too pointedly that he is
in a maze Of matrimonial machinery
and that il he isn't pretty careful he
may get his coattails caught in ii. Dst.
ter leave him with the fond notion that
all initiative is his own.
