Although many actor folk go on vacations,
there is big crowd OF capable ones who
find summertime playing not only a toll

Those playgoers who do not like to see
casts of child actors taking the parts CT
grown folks in grown-up plays, as in the
case of the little "Dizzie" company, which
played "Disraer' this spring, always Won
der what those who do like ii can see to
admire.
There is one explanation that gives
reason for their enjoyment, and 1t is not
connected with a grown-ups natural pleas
ure in having children about. 1t Is the
same reason that prompts Gordon Craig
20 say that he prefers marionettes to live
actors It is merely the enjoyment of nav
ing something left to the imagination
The triumph of the realistic stage Of the
dav is that IT suggests nothing that 1t does
not 10 the smallest detail fulfil. And when
this is as well done as it often is in our
best theatres to-day, it is marvellous how
completely every suggestion is worked out
IN q finish. But why this should be called
realism is a puzzle. Does real life in our
everyday experience leave nothing to the
imagination?
Child actors. no matter how good they
are. are not real. They are impressionistic,
one may say. and for that reason start the
fancy rowing more widely than ii ever is

both good native material to use and

there are many budding young writers,
with the native American feel in them,
who can write real librettos or not, is the
question. But 1t is a question well worth

Some questions seem worth asking, even
II there be no answer to them. The one
that comes TO mind just now is, Why, when
we go to an entertainment of any kind do
we have TO be entertained every second

Fox Theatre.-Commencing with to-mor-
rows matinee performance (June 10, the
Academy Of Music Stock Company will oc-
cupy the Fox Theatre. across 14th street
from the big playhouse. This move is mace
necessary on account Of the extensive alter
atons planned for the Academy Of Music
William Fox. the lessee, expects to spend
at least 100000 in remodelinG the Acade-
nv. During the summer an army or me-
chaniCs will rip out the 14th street side OF
the building. Up-to-date stores, with plate
glass fronts. will be created. The audi
forum will not be altered. but the entire
house will be renovated from top TO bot
tom. New seats will be installed, the entire
theatre will be recarpeted. the auditorium
will be redecorated and a new stage viii
be constructed. When the work has been
completed and the new theatre opened l]th
street will have not only one Of the largest
theatres in the country, but also one OF the
safest and handsomest. The removal OF the
stock company to Fox's Theatre is note
worthy. inasmuch as the leading woman,
Miss Priscilla Knowles. has broken all ;ec-
ords in the two-a-day line under one roof.
Her 1,1O4th, consecutive performance, which
took place last Saturday night. gives her a
lead of some 400 over the next best.
Through the heat Of last summer through
the slush and storms Of two winters, Miss
Knowles has always put in twice-daily
appearance in trying roles. If a headache
threatened her she laughed it off. II

her dentist and herself. Mr.. Fox announces

GRAB BAG is LOTS OF FUN


There are many jolly games that can
be played on Christmas night, and one
Of the jolliest Is the grab bag. which
has afforded much fun In times past.
There should be big muslin bag
! pillowcase will answer-tied from
the chandelier. In this bag put doz-
ems and dozens Of little gifts, not one
OF them expensive; just all sorts OF
trinkets that you can pick up for a
few pennies each, every one neatly
tied in paper, so no one knows what's
inside.
Then boy or a girl is blindfolded,
given cane in one hand, turned round
three times and told to strike at the
bag
1t Is great sport for the watchers to
see the frantic efforts made to hit that
bag, and equally exciting when. having
succeeded. the bIindfolded player dips
into the grab bag and pulls out q gift
Such FUN 1t Is to open the packages!
For there are enough gifts in the bag
to give every brother or sister or cousin
lots Of hits.

A CHRISTMAS EVE GAME.
The Woodseller Affords Pleasant En-
tertainment For Holiday Party.

The Woodseller Affords Pleasant En-
tertainment For Holiday Party.
A very amusing Christmas game is
the woodselIer, and it Is capable Of sew
eral variations, including the ever pop
ular forfeits Any number OF persons
may join In the game.
The person who starts the game
writes the name of some kind of wood
on paper and folds the paper so that
no one can see the word written upon
1t. He then goes around, all the rest
of the players being seated, and says:
II have load Of wood to SELL"
Each person in turn asks:
''What kind?"
The answer is:
Find out"
Then the person mentions one kind,
and, If it happens to be the wrong one,
the woodseller goes to the next, and
so on, until 1t is finally guessed right
When the right one is named, the one
naming 1t becomes woodseller.
All who make mistakes must pay a
forfeit, to be redeemed at the end of
the game. Those who name wood
twice pay. The list Of woods is long
one, but the best known ones are
the very ones that the players are most
apt to overlook in naming them. A
clever person can make much fun by
the manner Of calling out his wares
and another by witty rejoinders.
