CYNTHIA MISSIONER ALDEN.

CYNTHIA MISSIONER ALDEN.
There was a girl in New York named
Rachel.
blind because of an attack Of measles
which was not properly looked after.
Her parents were poor, and the city
took charge of the blind baby. sending
her to Randalrs island.
They said the girl was idiotic.
And along with seventy-two other
blind babies, nearly all Of whom were
catalogued as weakminded, Rache,
had a place. But
There was a woman.
Her name? Cynthia Westover Al
shine society.
Although she was no doctor. Mrs.
Alden got the notion into her head
that Rachel was not idiotic.
She got permission to take the blind
little girl away.
And then Mrs. Alden provided wise
teachers for Rachel. who sought al.
ways to wake up her mind.
You see. Rachel, being blind. had
never exercised her muscles very
much. She was usually tied in a chair
lest she hurt herself. And she had
never used her senses more than neces
sary
1t was slow work at first, but Mrs
Alden persevered.
That was seven years ago.
You should see Rachel now. She
plays the piano beautifully. She reads
everything she can get her fingers on
| She converses intelligently. In short
she is as bright a blind girl as yor
| could wish to know.
And since that time the Sunshin,
soci. - has taken eighty-two blind
/ babies from the institution. only one
Of whom turned out to be an idiot
Think of it.
For years those blind babies had
been considered idiots merely because
nobody took the trouble to find out.
And because nobody cared most OF
them grew up to be imbeci!es.
| You know the 6rst chapter Of Johr
begins. There was a man sent from
God whose name was John"
Well, one Of the first chapters Of
Mercy begins
There was a woman sent from Got
whose name was Alden"

The Evening Chit-Chat


their dollars swelled the mighty voice
of the box office that told the manager
that this was the kind OF a play Ameri-
can women liked.
And doubtless. now he is looking
about for other plays of that type, and
If he puts his star on in one next year
1t will be at the request of the American
women.
The manager of one of the biggest
vaudeville circuits in this country has
barred from his stages all mother-in-
law jokes because women don't like
that sort of thing"
You see, every woman that with
held her laughter helped Danish that
joke.
If they would, they might do the
same for all the infinitely more OBJ
| jectionable jokes founded on drunk
enness that are tolerated everywhere
on our stage. And in my mind they
could scarcely do greater thing for
| their sons.
| BY making the jokes on the stage
| which make light of drunkenness and
immortality fall fiat by failing to laugh
at them:
| BY never attending Intentionally
| immoral plays and musical comedies
i whose sole charm is their indecency of
| dress and allusion, no matter how good
| the staging or how excellent the act
ing;
| BY not advertising these plays by
| talking about them (even against
them);
BY giving hearty support and ap-
plause to wholesome plays and clean
| vaudeville
These are some of the ways in
which you. an individual woman. can
rightly play your part as censor of the
American stage.

The fate OF the American drama
is in the hands of American women"
This is the statement of a leading
New York theatrical manager.
1t is founded on an accurate count
made at the doors OF five large New
York playhouses for one week.
The proportion of women at the
nightly-mind you. not the matinee,
but the evening performances Of these
plays-was from 6S to SO per cent.
That means that we. the women OF
America. are the backbone OF the dra-
matte audiences, and that consequent
ly plays are written and staged with
an eye to suiting Nus.
Just as much as if we went to. the
manager and said: This is the kind OF
play we like and this is the kind we
won't tolerate"
1t is a big responsibility. isn't it:
Such big one and widely diff
fused. unfortunately, that it Is diff
cult for women as individuals to real
ize just how they can put their should
ers to 1t.
At an afternoon tea the other day
I heard a certain play being discussed
1t is the kind of play at which the
American woman most emphaticall,
ought to turn her thumbs down.
And yet the two women who had
been to the play praised the acting ii
such glowing terms that half dozeI
other women avowed their intention O.
attending.
of course, it's not play for chill
dren, my dear" said one of the wo
men who had seen it, but you are OLE
enough and know enough of the worlt
not to mind that sort of thing. and th'
acting is really splendid"
