WHY A HUMORIsT, PRODUCES
A "CAVE MAN."

There is no reason, in the nature of
things, why the humorist should not
penetrate to the very hidden springs OF
life and sweep the whole gamut of hui
man emotions. 1t was that master
punster, "Tom" Hood, who wrote "The
Song of the Shirt" George du Maurier
turned away from the drawing of pert
misses and consumptiye matrons for
the pages of "Punch,' and wrote the
most absorbing and original novel of
his time.
And yet the public will never cease
to be surprised when it finds writer
of nonsense suddenly exchanging his
goosequil for the shining lance of
Ithuriel. 1t is slow to look. into its
own heart and find that there's
fountain of tears by the fountain of
mirth." 1t looks on with doubt and
perplexity when the clowns of Itera.
ture give us some convincing sketch OF
life and reveal second personality
even stronger than the first.
We have an instance of all this when
the author of "Goops" writes "The
Cave Man, play which is being
presented at the National Theater this
week. A manager whose opinion is
entitled to respect used to insist that
Stuart Robson was-potentially, at
least-the greatest tragedian of his
time. 1t seems scarcely less absurd
than to think of Gelett Burgess as an
American Ibsen. 1t looks as incon-
gruous as if Bottom the Weaver had
created the character of Shakespeare.
1t is like Johnny Lowlow declaiming
the stanzas of Swinburne.
And yet with no disposition to slop
over, the facts are before us. The
achievement is its own answer to the
incredulous. In this unique and sur
prising drama Burgess has gone to the
very roots of the social order. He has
brought forth the primitive mans men,
tai attitude of crude candor, not yet
sophisticated by conventions, and
brought it into relation with the tinsel
shams of conventional society. He has
used the knotted club of the cave
dweller to smash the rouge pots of the
/ boudoir.
And yet, with the discrimination of
the true artist, the author directs his
shafts solely against the shams, and
not against the finer amenities which
are the product of polished society. He
makes no such blunder as to ask us
to believe that the troglodyte, though
endowed with all the seven cardinal
virtues, is superior to the man who
adapts himself to social usages and

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
In reply to the editorial in the Post.
cannot do better than to quote from
Alice Stone Blackwell: 1.-THE attempt to
recall Mayor Dilling, Of Seattle, has
proved abortive. 1t did not even reach
the point of holding an election: the re-
call petition broke down. There was no
truth in the report that it was a move
ment by the women. 1t was started by
one man and one woman-a couple
whose son had been dismissed from a
subordinate position in the city employ.
The parents were SO angry that they
sought the mayors recall; but they
failed to carry the majority of their
fellow-citizens with them. Instead of
the womens organizations supporting
the movement, both the Seattle Fedora
ton of Womens Clubs and the City
Federation Of Women's Christian Tenn
perance Unions put forth an explicit
statement that they did not indorse II.
Thus is pricked another anti-woman bub-

The State Of Massachusetts,, 1t was

nights engagement at the Belasco The
ater last night. But the chances are
that II Daniel Webster were living he
would deal out considerable OF his
matchless rhetoric in praise of Miss
Cunning, her musical play and her COM
pany.
Miss Cunning is acclaimed by many
as the possessor of the best soprano
voice in light opera, and the Judgment
seemed true last night when she poured
forth in her pure tones, so full Of mel
ody, an interpolated aria, His Return

detract from the enthusiasm OF her au-
ditors and spectators. A double circle
Of large pearls ran as a bandeau round
her head and a cleaning white feather
aigrette added a chic touch.
The charm of musical comedies, or
musical plays" or light operas, is pro-
portionate among other things to the
spontaneity with which he performers
seem to laugh and sing and dance. or
course. such seeming blithe and merry
spontaneity Is much of an art-and not
an easy art either. But, be this as it
may, II a buI.ch Of young madcaps do
seem to frolic and romp rhythmically as
IL they were enjoying themselves to the
utmost those on the other side OF the
footlights are likely to feel a pleasure
In the sight equal to the simulated en-
1oyment Of the blithe and merry romp-
ers.
This attribute Of delightful spon-
taneity Is possessed by the chorus of
the "Balkan Princess" as II has been
by no other chorus which has visited
washington this year and, inasmuch
as this chorus contains many charm
ing young girls. II will cause no eye-
strain to watch, unless perchance
some one gets eyestrain from staring
too intently. At all events the girls of
the company from its principal down
are very good to look at.
The Balkan Princess-the role, not the
whole play--is a princess in one of those
mythical southeastern European prin.,

DIR. WILEY'S ECONOMIC
PHILOSOPHY.

We seem to have elected DR.. Wiley
to the position Of national lecturer
emeritus on things generally. The doc
tor is in demand everywhere. If he
had ten duplicated personalities and
q megaphone attachment to each one
he could not get around to all the
organizations, societies, associations,
and the like that want to hear him.
The doctor always has something in
teresting to say, and commonly some
thing with which it is easy to agree.
He proposes remedies for social and
economic evils that most everybody
thinks would be fine; but just how to
put them into effect is problem that
has been worrying some generations Of
humanity.
DR.. Wiley talked to the Twilight
Club in New York last night, and sug-
gested as the great social evfl the con-
centration of too much population in
the cities. A the remedy he suggested
that he would have laws to prevent the
establishment of any more factories in
cities. He would not drive out the
ones now there, but he would try I'd
compel others to seek the country and
the small towns. This would put the
operatives where they could have their
own small gardens, produce something
to eat, and get the physical benefits in
cident to such diversions.
DIR. Wiley has made no striking dis
covery. Many people have thought of
this plan before him, but the congestion
in cities goes right on, none the less. It
is not merely problem of this coun-
try. European cities have been grow
ing just as fast or faster than Ameri-
can in the last forty years, and from
about the same causes. Their situa-
tion is more acute than ours because
the margin between production and
consumption of eatables is narrower
there than here. They have food
riots; we escape with no more serious
manifestation, thus far, than universal
grumbling about the cost of living. But
that is premonitory of the European
The city is magnet that irresistibly
attracts humanity. Its attraction can
be neutralized by making the country
and the village equally attractive. Not
enough is done in this direction. The
Roosevelt country life commission had
q deal of fun poked at it, but it was
on the right track and deserved more
The cities are full of
people who have no business there;
who would be producers in the country,
but are not in the cities. But how to
stop the congestion of just such people
in the towns has never been explained.
DR.. Wiley's proposal would help, but
it will be long time getting adopted,
because there are many sound economic
reasons in favor of the concentration
of factory production around the mar
keting centers of the cities.

DIANA JOINS IN THE 'POSSUM
HUNT.

beginning to take up the 'possum hunt
Perhaps it is not so thrilling as shoot.
ing Thompson gazelles and okapis in
the heart of the African forest, but fo,
downright enjoyment there are few
things to compare with it. The ex.
hilarating chill in the evening air, the
long walks through the mazes of the
forest, the distant bay of the dogs, and
the thrill of realizing that the cunning
marsupial has been "treed," give a
sense of enjoyment which few sports
can afford.
1t has never attempted to contest
with horse racing the title of "the
sport of kings,' but most emphatically
it has usually been regarded as es-
sentially a sport for men, in the
broader sense which includes youths
and boys. Seldom has it been thought
of as a sport for women. A Wash
ington authority overthrows this mar
row theory, however. He not only
maintains that it is excellently adapt
ed TO women, but he has proved it.
At his country home, over in Virginia,
he has been entertaining a week end
party where his wife showed herself a
doubly charming hostess by initiating
her women guests into the mysteries Of
'possum hunt. That it was not q
dilettanti outing of Watteau shep.
herde4ses is demonstrated by the fact
that two 'possums were bagged in the
course of the evening, and we are left
to infer that the next days dinner was
crowned by that most delightful of
dishes, 'possum and 'taters.
1t would be tempting fate to essay,
for the benefit of the unenlightened, a
description of that rustic delicacy. The
gamey flavor, the spices, and the syrup
like juice exuding from the candied
yams would intoxicate the very powers
of description. Adequately executed
such description would start half
the population of the community to
the woods and the 'possum would soon
be as extinct as the great pterodactyl
And yet one may be pardoned for
pausing to reflect just how far the
fair Dianas of the chase actually par
ticipated in the. 'possum hunt. 1t is
not a pursuit in which guns and such
like deadly weapons take a part. The
only instrument approaching a weapon
in character is the ak with which the
persimmon tree, let us say, must be
cut down. In lieu of this heroic
measure, as all experienced 'possum
hunters will tell you, the only thing 20
do is to climb the tree! This is an art
in itself. 1t takes the place of what
would be craftsmanship in the ordi-
nary hunt. 1t is the measure of skill
by which the possum hunter must be
judged.
We have outgrown the bromides as
to a woman's inability to throw a
stone or drive a nail, but the question
still confronts US, Can Diana climb a
tree?
