Robert Kitchens, according to a letter
received by Liebler & Co.. is engaged in
writing the incidental music for the stage
version of The Garden of Allah" which
is to be produced on an extremely elabo-
rate scale in the New Theater at the be-
ginning Of next season. Mr.. Hichens has
studied music with famous teachers in
Europe, and for a considerable period it
was q question with him as to whether
he should specialize ir literature or in
musical composition. The atmosphere OF
The Garden of Allah is said to lend
itself admirably to orchestral accompani-
ment.
Down at WaIlack's Theater six little

Doubtless much complaint about the

I'VE can see how Senator Leayitt's bill.
If 1t became law, might establish in

- CENSORSHIP Of the stage by mu-
nicipal authorities for the pro-
lection of public morals has
been attempted from time to
time in a number of cities in this coun-
try and England. The result, usually,
has been comic, as when we are RECALLED
with the spectacle of Mayor Fitzgerald,
of Boston, a typical city politician,
barring from the sacred precincts of his
community so powerful and innately

permitting at the same time the posi-
lively indecent "FolIies of 1s1o'' to run
week after week at another theater.

The burlesque houses were the first to
feel the swish of the public mop. In
the old days these theaters were asso-
ciated in the minds of the righteous
with all that was wicked and debasing.
1t would surprise the virtuous theater-
goer to discover that he would stand
less chance of having his sense Of de-
cency offended at the Gayety or Ly-
ceum than at any Of the musical COM
edies produced at the higher-priced
theaters. In fact, this cleaning up Of

Things are allowed continually on the

censorship goes frequently astray. The
history Of theatrical censorship in Eng
land is both droll and deplorable.
1T seems that the people themselves
must. in the long run, decide whether or
not a play exerts a moral influence: The
multitude is not habitually immoral AS

Washington has been happily free from
| these exhibitions of ignorance on the
part Of its officials. Our freedom by the
nature of our government from the cor
rupting influences Of city politics which
bring to the higher municipal offices of
other cities such authorities on art, lit
erature, and morals as Mayor Fitzgerald
and Aldermen "Hinky Dink'' Kenna and
Bath House. John, of Chicago, Is in a
large measure responsible for the absence
of these ludicrous manifestations of Off
cial vigilance. The men at the head of
our police department and other branches
of government exerting the power of
guardianship are not OF the type that
might be counted on to make laughing
stocks Of themselves and their city on
questions of public taste or ethics.
It is doubtful II this city needs. any
censorship of the stage further than that
already quietly exercised by Maj. Syl-
vester and his lieutenants, by the press,
and by the public conscience Indiscrimi-
nate theatergoing by young people is not
practiced here to the extent observed in
other cities. The average father or swain
of this city is always on the alert to dis
cover in advance whether the play he Is
contemplating the purchase of seats for is
of a nature to offend his daughter or the
object of his fond affections.
Then, too, It is not often that anything
| is staged in this city which might be
said by the most captious to exert an eyil
influence The power of the stage for
good or evil 10 greatly exaggerated any
way. The only class likely to, be af-,
fected by what Is heard or seen on the
stage are the adoiescent Of both sexes.
They can be kept by parental supervision
from attending such licentious displays
as THE Follies or 1slo.' The effect of
these libidinous entertainments upon adult
audiences Is Uncomfortable.
