Plays of the past, plays Of the present,
plays of the future. None Of the six
plays mentioned above is, you may sup
pose, a play of the future, although
there appears to be authority for saying
that plays Of the future were written in
a past not yet remote. The authority is
the Futurist Stage Society, of which
You may never have heard, but which
F. has. besides q name, a local habitation.
/ It has also a committee Of thirty-seven
members. 1t has issued a circular let
ter upon which the thirty names
appear, and from which the eager may
learn that Miss Mary Phelps is the
Dramatic Editor and Andre Tridon the
Organizer
Now gather and surmise, for here is
the proclamation:
THE Futurist Stage Society will pre-
sent modern plays in one act, the most
powerful dramatic form. according to a
strictly realistic technique. Makeup,
footlights and other conventionalities
made necessary by the abnormal size OF
playhouses will be omitted. Stage act
ing, a mere system Of conventional signs
and gestures, will be replaced by life
like action.
The adoption of such technique
makes it imperative to limit the number
Of seats TO sixty.
Among the authors of the twelve
plays to be given March l. March % and
April 10, four each night are George
Bernard Shaw, Strindberg, Edith Whar-
ton, Sudermann, Tristan Bernard,
Schnitzler and Browning.
3 -The Futurist Stage Society does not
aim at uplifting or educating, but at
cultivating dramatic art with an abso-
lutte disrespect for traditions and con-
Mentions. obstacles placed by philistin-
ism and commercialism in the path Of
artistic advance.

Long on Streets-Santa Claus LeVee.
 Danielson had another carnival night Saturday, but there was not so much of the hilarious spirit in the crowds, which were smaller also, as was the case the previous Saturday evening, when the lights un the local white way were turned on for the first time. But business was good. At closing time the majority of the mer- chants had bundles of cash in their money drawers, indicating that the people kept themselves busy in the stores rather than in watching what was going on on the street, where St. James band was giving a marathon concert and the prank lovers were working overtime with their supplies of confetti, ticklers, etc, etc. A real live Santa Claus that made his head quarters outside of Dr. l.. J. Morin' s store was by unanimous consent of the little ones that crowded about him all the evening declared to be by all means the most important parsonage in this or any other country at the present time. What the little people failed to ask the good St. Nick for was never conceived of in the brain of man or dreamt of in toyland.
