THE fate of the American drama is in

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 consequently
plays are written and staged with an
eye TO suIting US.
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
II Is a big responsibility isn't it,
Such big one and so widely difused
unfortunately. that ii is difficult for
women as individuals to realize just how
they can put their shoulders to it.
At an afternoon tea the other day |

American woman most emphatically ought
to turn her thumbs down.
And yet the twO-women who had been

but doubtless the ladies went and their
dollars swelled tho mighty voice Of the
box office that told the manager that
this was the kind OF d play American

And doubtless, now he is looking about
for other plays Of that type. and if he
puts his star on in one next year it will

The manager OF one Of the biggest

THE WIDOW OF M. CURE
IS FAMOUS CHEMIST

Nine. Curie, the famous chemist, and
widow of M. Curie. with whom she was
the joint discoverer of radium, has, in
collaboration with NJ. Debierne. just sue
ceeded in obtaining pure radium.
What Is commonly called radium is In
reality salts of radium. Pure radium
has never before been isolated. Nine.
Curie and NJ. Debierne obtained the "a
dunn by electroiyzing common radium
and amalgam. which was then trans
ferred to an iron disk placed in a quartz
tube, in which a vacuum had been Gre
a.ed.
The distillation was then made in an
atmosphere of hydrogen. which had been
purified by special treatment, as ordi-
nary hydrogen affects the metal.
At about 100 degrees the Oscillation was
finished, no mercury remained and in
stead the discoveries found a layer OF
brilliant white metal Pure radium was
discovered.
Mime. Curie FASTENED to place the speck
of radium thus obtained IN a glass
vacuum tube, safe from the influence Of
the atmosphere. The report Of the dis
covery was presented t. the Academy
Of 6cioocG1.
