Should the City Own and
Control All the Theatre?

In a peoples theatre auditors will have the
sense of 1t being their own and Of their being
among their own people. For In a peoples
theatre there will not be allen plays performed
by alien actors and written by foreigners.
They will drama on American themes,
written by American authors and enacted by
American actors
Folk or municipal theatres will be no white
elephants. Enormous fortunes have been mado
by private theatrical managers. Gamblers will
tell you that the theatrical venture is the best
thlng in the business-better than the card
table, better than the ponies" The success.
rui theatrical venture means a fortune for Its
promoter, and knowing this, men who depend
on the element OF chance glad to invest
their money In such ventures When the
amusement facilities, as the gas and street
railways, pass under municipal ownership,
which is the indubitable sign OF the times all
the enormous profit that has previously flowed
into private pockets will enrich the city. There
is nothing less lmpracticabe than the munich.
pal ownership and control OF these cities. The
peoples theatre should and will represent
the peoples interest. 1t will reflect life as
they know 1t or as they wish it to be. It will
teach the foreigners who come to this country
what American life Is.
The theatre should be built so that It will
house at least three forms of entertainment at
Ing pictures, drama and opera, and the opera
should be in English. Oscar Hammerstein ia
quite right. Artists who sing in other Ian.
6uasoS Can as easily sing IN English. A huge
structure of this kind can be built at far less
expense than could four playhouses devoted
TO the different forms OF entertainment.
The four forms Of entertainment would con.
tinue throughout the latter part Of the morn,
Ing, the afternoon and evening. so that for
the amusement hungry good entertainment al.
ways awaits.
The only censor such a theatre would re.
quire would be that of public sentiment and
public demand. The people would have right
to know what they were to see. There would
be no nauseating experiments. resulting in

that New York is a mutt city, and that she OF

Private managers. afraid to endanger their
wealth and cripple their resources, are nat

If the people owned the playhouses and con-

the audiences have been lost through that

Where WOMEN Dress AS MEN

IT would be difficult to tell when the women
I of Champery, primitive mountain dis
trict of the Canton OF Valas. in Swtzer-
land, wore any other garb than mans at
tire. They have. IN fact, worn trousers from
time mmemorial, and IL wearing the trousers
is privilege. they have certainly earned 1t.
The women in this district do all the work.
1t may be that during few months in the
Summer some OF the men will act as guides
for the tourists who come to and TO
climb the mountains. but other than that the
men live in Incidence.
These men are in fact, noted for their
laziness, nor are they TO be SO greatly blamed.
1t seems. since custom among theny has
been for generations and generations TO sit
idly by while their women do all the work.
The women go into the fields, and do all
the hard work that IS naturally required to
exc out existence in a mountainous
farming district. These women pasture the

She turned away quickly. IN the
next street she went into n doorway
and wiped her tears away. She was
very pale, and she had to use all her
strength 10 suppress the sobs which
threatened to burst her bosom.
Then she walked on. cheerful as

it is not an unusual sight during the season
OF snow TO see the wife coming home from
the village or from numbering dragging her
husband on sled!
In view Of the above, 1t is not surprising
that the women Of Champery should have
adopted the masculine attire Their dress is
OF the simplest kinda jerkin Of rough dark
blue material with trousers TO match, and
red handkerchief TO protect the head.
Inasmuch as the wives and mothers of
Champery perform the greater part of the
toll usually deemed the duty of the stronger
sex, 1t is not astonishing to learn that they
affect certain masculine habits, the chief OF
which is the pipe. The Champery woman

Walli shook her head.
Il must go to business now" she
said.
She left. but not with a smiling face
as usual She had tears in her eyes;
she felt pity with herself because she
had TO face such a hard problem. But
at the same time feeling OF anger
against him arose within her. for was
he not. after all. committing a crime
against her. making her waste her
YOUTH She did not look forward with

were to spend together as always
during their lunch time.
He was waiting for her outside the
door. happy and merry as always and
his eyes beamed as he caught sight
or her. To-day for the hrst time she
felt annoyed because the BAKERS wife
and the woman in tho dairy saw him
call for her. She did not give him her
arm as she used to.
1t Is too hot day" she said.
Until they reached the corner he
was silent. unable to understand her
GOODNESS towards him and her whole
changed manner. Then he burst out:
Now. Wall!. what is the matteri"
She did not answer. There was
something in the tone OF his voice
which moved her heart and she felt
like throwing her arms around his
neck. but the spite which her mother
had awakened within her was as
strong as her love.
Should she perhaps try? Her eyes
stared straight into space. How fast
everybody was walking to-day in
spite OF the heat. They were all
walking OH the shady side OF the
street so as not to expose themselves
to the sun. She had TO walk very
close to him TO get some OF the mar
row strip OF shade. She had to press
her shoulder against his arm, and she
enjoyed the sensation. 1t was as IL
his touch did her good Her heart
was beating so violently that 1t hurt
