work in an adaptation Of Poe's The system

anv three onc-act plays in vaudeville, II gwen

a passablc threc-act play; but there are olII,,
timists among us who feel that that time VIII
come. We believe that, without being less
entertaining, less diversified, or less easily
cniovcd. vaudeville will come to be made up
Of fewer "Jcwish" or Irish comedians,
fewer sister acts" fewer trained seals, and
a greater number Of people who have some
thing really clever to offer in song or speech
or impcrSOnatlOn.
The place Of the tabloid drama is secure
since il bears the same relation to the ordl-
nary drama that the short story does to the
novel. one day we shall have a Theatre
Antoine or a Theatre DIES Capucines in Ne"
York. The popularity Of the short play
with all its opportunities for Satul c2nS1i i,

make the wearers of silk stockings
