SECRET OF MAKING
SAINTS IS REVEALED

Since It Is quite an exploded idea that
sinners-even beautiful ones-are irresisti-
bly, attractive to read about, the saint is,
psychologically, Of far greater interest
than her wicked sister. We are for
ever curious to know how these uplifted
beings attained to their moral heights.
Generally, they began badly. There are
the well-known cases Of st. Augustine
and st. Francis Of Assist; and on the
spindle side we have st. Theresa and St
Catherine of Siena- Both these wonder

New York. Aug. 12.-Without fuss or
furor, flags or flattery, the theatrical
season, sure harbinger Of autumn. has
sneaked into town and ensconced itself
in the Criterion and Maxine Elliott the
aters The steeds that drew this vehicle
Of promise were bedecked in the glitter
ing raiment of advance notices, and were
prominent through isolation, but halt in
limbs and gait. The nigh hoss was THE
Girl of Ny Dreams" stabbed at the Cri-
terion; the on, THE Real Thing" at
Maxine Elliott's. And their vehicle, the
theatrical season, now stands on Broad
way like a handless bandwagon on
village street-it's here, but there's moth
ing in it.
THE Girl of My Dreams" has a past.
It's been played before-out Chicago
way. It also has no future. Its
dramatic personae include two former
vaudevillians, John Hyams and Leila Nc
Intyre, and some others. Its plot is
woven of the wind of Chicago. Its action
is syncopated by the clatter OF Special
ties" And its tunes, the major attrac-
ton, are tuneful. Wilbur D. Nesbit is to
blame for the book, and those two emf
nent tunesmiths, Otto Hauerbach and
Karl Hoschna, composers of The Three
Twins Madame Sherry" ct al, con-
nived with him by originating the music

The music is good, the comedy lacking
But comedy is a negligible quantity, as
hard to cOnfine as ambient ether The
slapstick and the slapbang comedian
rarely corral either, and of such is the
major part of the fun in The Girl OF My
Dreams" made up.
"The Real Thing"
Domestic comedy is a thing of every
day occurrence. There is comedy in
everybody's domesticity. The difficulty
lies in striking that broad brand of humor
that appeals to humanity, that human
interest touch that paints in bold strokes
the truths of life and that appeals to hu-
manity through its humanity. Whether
or not The Real Thing" the first play
by Catherine Chisholm Cushing to be
presented in New York, reaches this con-
diton is a moot question.
The Real Thing is undoubtedly clever
II contains epigrams a-plenty. Its situa-
uons are well conceived, excellently de-
Veloped, and possess dramatic merit, but
somehow they are unconvincing. The

by the shopmen, and sentiment
