The first theatrical storm has
broken. It swept over New York in
all its fury last week. hopelessly
shattering one dramatic ship on the
breakers. Others have been forced
into the dry dock. where they will
be repaired, preparatory to a second
launching on the perilous sea Of pub
lie opinion.
The first play to go down under
the storm Is Just Like john" writ
ten by George Broadhurst and Mark
Swan. 1t vas an impossible farce.
and the run lasted just a week. After
winning such laurels as a serious
writer in his Bought and Paid For"
1t was rather surprising to see Mr..
Broadhurst again turn his attention
to farce. In early years he was
known as a successful farce writer,
but this did not satisfy him. He COM
menced to bid for fame as an author
of serious works. The Man Of the
Hour" was the first result Of his
change Of heart, but it did not place
him high in the list of serious dra-
matists. But when his Bought and
Paid For" was produced last year. his
name and place as a playwright were
ecure 1t is his greatest play. and
will undoubtedly hold that position
for a few years at least. Inasmuch
as it is to be seer here in a week or
two. the play will be given further
attention in these columns.
There are several other new plays
that are wavering on the verge of un-
certainty. One Of these is 1.-THE

matization Of Rex Beach's novel. To
those who have been thrilled by Mr..

come as a disappointment. 1t is not

Owing t the fact that yesterday was

state that 1t will take several weeks

morning rush, as a result Of the Sun
day closing. will be done away with.
There was a large number of local
residents who were disappointed at
not receiving their mail yesterday.
Those who had lock boxes were able
to get the mail received up to IL
o'clock Saturday night. but they could
get nc Sunday mail. The general de-
livery window was closed all day, so
that no mail could be secured from
that source.
All outgoing mail was handled as
previously. Regular collections were
made during the afternoon, and the
mail was all dispatched in plenty of
time.

ableness Of telegraph and cable rates
was attacked today by William N.
White and company of New York in
a complaint against the Western

public to undue prejudice and disad-

Union company has bought up the
smaller companies and eliminated
