Rose Stahl. in Maggie Pepper" a
three-act play of department store life by
Charles Klein. will be the attraction at
the National Theater this week, begin
ming tomorrow evening.
There is no more adept playwright in
the development of themes on American
life than Charles Klein. This has been
proven many times. yet it is hard to
Imagine Maggie Pepper without Rose
Stahl. No other actress on our stage
would be expected to visualize so well
this typical American character.
Maggie Pepper" tells homely story
of Shopgirl, slangy. caustic- tongued,
brave-hearted, who finds. after fifteen
years of faithful service as a drudge in
a department store, her ambition to rise
to the head of her department Is not to
be realized. because of the general mana
gers antiquated ideas and preiudices. The
change in her appearance, address and
manners. after her hopes have been real
lied. and her ability has won her lead
ing place in the management of the store
stamps Miss StahTs work as that Of
finished artist. BY her own efforts, as
the play progresses. she labors to fit the
position. and with self-sacrificing desire
to reclaim her niece from the teachings
of wicked mother.
Miss Stahl has been surrounded with an
excellent company of players From
production standpoint nothing is left to
be desired.

THE "PALMY DAYS" AND NOW
Says William Faversham: Every now
and again dome one raises hue and
fuss over the so-called palmy days; he
regales us with encomiums of actors
and impersonations of former genera
ton. with insinuating dsparagements
concerning the present state of acting
scattered all through, and by the time
such a one has finished We are inclined
to- wonder if there can be anything good
at all upon our modern stage.
"As q matter of fact, + believe the
whole standard Of acting is better today
than at any time since drama began. and
one can find more good acting than at
any time since men first trod the boards.
1t may also be one can find more bad
acting as well-of that 1 don't know.
IF anything has degenerated it has
been the public taste, although l think
for the most part that has remained
sound and pure. Managers sometimes as
sert they have to cater to the loose in
stincts of the tired business man in
order to keep their heads above the
financial waters. but that is all false.
There is still, and always will be. Il
public for fine things, splendid perform
ances, worthy plays. A laudabe Shake
spearean performance is almost insured
against financial loss at the very outset
although the capital involved is many
times as great as in the ordinary modern

Again and again we hear of the fond
ness of audiences Of century ago

is true enough. but I don't think they
were any fonder OF him than we are.
Of London. we read that when Garrick,

but we also have many more theaters.
Somehow. halo floats above the
memory OF actors who have gone before.
We hear constantly of their successes;
never Of their failures. This it Is, I
think. that tempts people to assume that
those who have gone excelled over those
who remain. But 1 do stoutly believe
acting has been steadily and consistently

marked changes are noted in dress, fur

sentiment and manners. Several of the
