He has learned by these means TO know
the extent 70 which his countrymen de-

PLAYS THAT ARE NATIONAL.

I'VE like. or have liked, wild West
shows in the East, because we are In
fairly close touch with that phase of
life; it is one Of our national products;
il is picturesque and different from the
way we live here, and at the same time
attractive TO us. We look on and are
pleased to wonder how we would like
to be cast i'm such scenes, to live the life
of the lawless open spaces. These same
plays have no vogue at all out West. in
the midst Of the scenes they are depict
ing. There they are commonplace, have
nothing in them 10 rouse the imagination
and often are found to be not even true
to life.
"In the same way Waldorf ballroom
scenes, the gayeties and tenseness OF city
life, prove absorbing on the stage out
West, although here they may not have
seemed worth while. In a general way
if a play shows a kind OF life or state
OF affairs that people long for and have
not they are personally interested.
Sometimes the verdict OF an audience
or succession OF audiences in locality
reveals something unknown or hitherto
unthought OF about the community.
The fact that 'Trelawny Of the Wells
failed in England and made success
here pointed out that Americans were
more conversant with and interested In
the theatre than the English. And
as a matter OF fact, that Is so. In Eng
land. even in London, going to the thea
ire is something of an event, and peo-
ple are not as familiar with life back OF
the footlights as we. Sometimes a COM
munity noted for its moral strictness will
receive favora bly, a play that has been
questioned In some far more callous city.
This reveals what? Perhaps secret
liking for things openly disapproved OF.
Another thing that has been noticed
IS that taste in plays runs In cycles;
that Is. each locality changes its play
tastes every two or three years. Shake
speare whose plays now have only a
limited appeal in New York. is running
strong in the South and West The
people there. even those who do not ap-
prove Of theatregong. consider Shake
speare educational, and are willing To go
and TO have their families go TO see the
great plays. Perhaps in a year or two
more New York will again turn Shake

GERMANS SURROUNDED PETER

Much of this animosity arises from the
fact that throughout the eighteenth cen
fury and during the first half of the
nineteenth century many of the prin-
cipal instruments of the arbitrary rule
of the Muscovite crown were Germans.
Peter the Great and his successors sur
rounded themselves with Germans in
preference to Russians and 1t may be
recalled that when Nicholas l requested
his brother-in-law. King Frederick VIII
lam ". to send him three or four of the
non-commissioned officers of his 1st Reg
iment Of Guards from Potsdam in order
to massage his back, in accordance with
the prescriptions Of his physicians, he
, explained his selection of Prussians for
the purpose by saying that he had too
little confidence in the loyalty Of his own
subjects.
II must be borne in mind that the
reigning house Of Russia is far more
Holstein- Gottorp and Oldenburg than
Romanoff, more Teuton than Muscoyite.
and that, moreover, each successive Sow
ereign has sought a consort among the
/ reigning houses of Germany. II is.
therefore, only natural that they should
/ prefer 10 surround themselves with Ger
mans and that the Russians should have
! been prompted by jealousy 10 ascribe TO
/ German influence every unpopular meas
ure inaugurated by their sovereign.
| Then, too, Peter the Great and his sue
| cessors invited thousands upon thou
sands Of German colonists TO settle in
Russia, partly with the idea Of their de-
veloping the agricultural and industrial
resources Of the country, and partly, too,
in the hope that their example might
