IS |NCASED
ScaffoId Built Around Pole at
Zoo in Order That 1t May
Be Painted.

Recent visitors to the Zoo have been
mystified by the strange appearance OF
the tall flagstaff on the hill in front of
the lion house. That staff, formed of
iron tubes. is incased its entire height
in a frame scaffold and resembles the
Eiffel tower in miniature
The explanation is that 1t became nee
essary to remove the weather vane at the
apex. for the reason that it cut and tore
the flag whenever the wind shifted, and
it was desired also to give the staff a new
coat of paint. AS 1t was impossible for
workmen to ascend the iron column in
the usual way by climbing. 1t was found
necessary to build the high scaffold.
A large FURNISHED ball will be substi-
tuted for the weather vane. When the
staff has been painted the scaffoloing will
be removed and Old Glory once more will
fly from it's lofty perch.

The Theater.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The theater has position in current
literature it in no way deserves. Whole
columns and often pages are DEVOTED to
reviews Of new plays In the newspapers
besides no end Of stage chat. The move
ments Of the famous actors and actresses
are chronicled as though America were
an Austrian duchy and stage celebrities
it's illustrious highnesses. Few maya
zines dare to appear without a half
dozen pages displaying the feminine
beauty Of the footlights.
Nobody objects to the theater now
adays as an essentially immoral insti-
tuition; the number of preachers and
other moralists who condemn acting in
toto has become smaller and smaller. II
is recognized that the theater may be an
educational and ethical force.
1t is made. by modern playwrights
managers and actors, thing of mere
amusement. OF course. II is necessary
that a play be amusing, but when
entertainment alone is strived for, when
the players ambition goes no further
than to be heard. to catch the atten-
ton. to make a laugh or thrill, and
when there is no serious purpose, nc
message or life-truth behind the per-
Torrance, then the whole business be-
comes essentially cheap, and easily Slips
over into being nasty.
Mere fun mere. diversion, by and by
always peters out: II becomes the un-
mitigated bore such as nine-tenths OF
the new comic operas are, where the
old gags are worked over and over. and
the old masses OF half-dressed girls are
gyrated to flip the jaded interest or the
audience. and shreds of old melodies are
rewoven. like a rag carpet rug, into al
legged new tunes.
The trouble with the modern theater is
not that it is naughty, but that it Is
just poor. To this. of course. there are
grateful exceptions. But the typical
stage person. speaking to the modern
public. could truthfully rehearse the ole
| vaudeville quip: Forgive me! am not
| a bad woman, ! am only bad actress
There is more education. and OTTER
more amusement. in moving picture
shows than In all but few plays.
| Nobody goes to the modern theater Il
learn how to speak the English Ian
guage, or for moral uplift or for in
struction- People go TO tho show fol
fun. or. say, diversion.
There are plenty of vital, thro5binl
| themes. there are moral issues, socia
| truths. personal mysteries, and spiritua
/ problems that GRIP mems souls TO-DAY
| the age IL full of high earnestness: wha
| the theater needs is the playwright VIII,
| has a better ambition than merely I,
| play the fool and raise laugh, or [,
| juggIe the old melodramatic horrors AM

| a new vision OF human nature, a mes
| sage that shall prove his right to b
heard.
The theater might be made a chic
force in national life. an institution o
culture and throne Of power.

There is nothing prettier or more
graceful than any perfect service
given at the dining table. l recall a
mos. hospitable home where l used
to be invited to dine. The father did
the carving and serving of the meat
and potatoes; the mother attended to
the extra vegetables, and the nine
year-old daughter served the butter
from a beautiful old silver butter
dish, the kind having room under
meath the plate for a generous piece
of ice so to the very last the butter
was hard and no one was obliged to
leave the table for a second heIplna.
This little daughter took great pride
in holding it in fancy shapes, so that
it. might be attractive and easily
served.
This kind of service means respon.
sibility, which adds much to the en-.
joyment of the food. When the soup
is finished the place plate is now re
moved with the soup plate. A little
might be said of this place plate. 1t
is as beautiful a plate as one can af
