The Smart Dialogue PLAY.

The ineffectiveness of smart dialogue
drama. no matter how thoroughly spiced
with epigrams it may be, it is claimed
has never been so convincingly shown
as during the past season at Charles
Frohman's Repertory Theater in London.
1t was Mr.. Frohman's intention to try
out during the first year every variety
Of play from the. subtle, delicately- pointed
satires of the "Shavian'' school to the
blunt-spoken. virile thrillers of Jones,
Pinero and their followers. And he sue
ceeded. with the result that the English
papers are filed with the shafts from the
two hostile camps. Each school Of play
wrights has had its opportunity. and, to
the mind of the other it's day.
| Meantime. the public watches the ARRAY
with amusement, for ii long ago register
ed it's opinion-prosaically enough, to be
sure but none the less emphatically-in
box office receipts. If Mr.. Frohman's ex-
perience at the Duke of York's proved
anything, 1t Is declared, 1t prOved-what
until the twentieth century was looked
upon as a theatrical platitude-that thea
| tergoers do not want words but action.
To them a story dramatically told with
exquisite illusion. is an Infinitely more
pleasant entertainment than shower
| of brilliant epigrams in some subtle satire
| on a subject of which most know little
| and care less.

Howe's Hippod1 ONE Festival.

The Lyman H. Howe New York Hippo
drome Festival. after a years absence,
will return to the Columbia Theater next
Sunday night for a series of six Sunday
night diversions of az character that
proved very attractive last year.
Mr.. Howe presents a motion picture en-
tertainment that differs from the kind
usually seen. 1t embraces not only the
latest and best of moving pictures. prac-
tically all of which he shows are his orig
inal and exclusive prorsrty, but every
movement In the picture is accompanied
by an appropriate sound that makes the
picture extremely realistic. One sees a
horse and hears the ciatter of his hoofS,
as an illustration. To accomplish this he
carries a corps of assistants that are
thoroughly trained in their work before
being sent on the road.
For the first of the diversions Sunday
evening, July 81. Mr.. Howe promises the
most complete study of the military es-
tablishment of the United States ever
placed before the people of the country.
Only through the hearty cooperation of
the War and Navy departments, 1t is
claimed, was II possible to secure these
pictures. which have a story to tell that
cannot fail to interest and instruct.
