GOSSIP OFTHE COURTS

BY FLAEEUR.

great Passion Play, Englishmen have
to journey to Oberamergau, in the
Bavarian Alps.
Can Britain have a distinctly relig-
ious drama? There Is little encour-
agement The play which the censor
recently refused passed the scrunity
of an archbishop, of six bishops, a
dean, an archdeacon, and a judge of
the high court, who constituted its
patrons
Morality Play Society has been ask
ed repeatedly to put on this play, but
the thing is impossible, because the
law forbids and the University of
London. In whose hall It was private
ly produced, has been threatened not
to repeat the "offense" Is it really
necessary in the interest of religion to
prohibit such plays?
In the last resort IL all comes to
question of freedom. Unlicensed
preaching was for a long time pro-
hibited in England, and the prohibit
tion was justified by the argument
that ignorant, wicked or incompetent
persons would degrade religion by
their sermons Who iustifies that
altitude nowadaysg Yet IL is only up
on some such grounds that the pro-
hibition of Scripture plays can be
maintained. Whether the censor al
lows it or not, whether the playwright
chooses or not, the drama will always
preach good or ILL., Why limit its
power to preach the Christian ideal?
The Dublin of a hundred years ago
loved a riot and was ready to see occa-
sion for one in the slightest affront
Grow Street Theater was favorite bat
tie ground The management had sud
denly changed the bill, because the local
owner OF a sagacious stage dog put a
too heavy price on its services. The au-
dience of 1914 wanted the dog and ex-
pressed its desire by tearing up and
finging the gallery seats on the stage.
The lord lieutenant was present, and in
order TO convince him of their sincerity
the playgoers shattered an S0-guinea
mirror at the back of the vice regal box.
The house was cleared by the military
after everything breakable had been de
stroyed
A year or two later another riot
broke out as an expression of sympathy
with a Miss Byrne. who had been en-
gagged TO sing at the theater but had
httH uiHhie7'u ioi Ni"idlihS WI t"'i
stipulation. Friday, Saturday and Mon
day the audience ragged and stormed,
tearing up seats and destroying boxes.
During these riots each party continued
at intervals TO elevate in the orchestra
placards containing reflections upon
their opponents, by whom the posters
were rapidly torn down. A company OF
the Ninety-third Highlanders was held
in reserve behind the drop curtain, but
no doubt wisely refused to enter the
arena as combatants. The sympathetic
riot proved successful and Miss Byrne
was reinstated.
There was a Dublin riot which broke
out on mere rumor of a scheme for the
union of Ireland with England. The
mob, on December 3, 1855, descended

CATARRH SUFFERERS
Get Immediate and Effective Relief
by Using HyOmei.

Hyomei is natures true remedy for
catarrh There is no stomach dosing
you breathe it.
When using this treatment, you
breathe healing balsams and aftec'
lively reach the most remote air cells
of the throat nose and lungs, the
catarrhal germs are destroyed-quick
and sure relief results.
Hyomei often restores health to
chronic cases that had given up all
hope of recovery. Its best action is
at the start of the disease, when the
breath is becoming offensive. and
constant shifting, discharges from the
nose, droppings in the throat and f-e-
quent sneezine, OF that choked up
feeling begin to make life a burden.
At the first symptom of catarrhal trou-
Bile. such as crusts in the nose, watery
eyes. hawking and morning choking,
surely use Hyomei and see how
quickly you get relief.
The complete outfit. including in
haler and bottle OF liquid, costs but

needed. so cents Hyomei is sold with
a guarantee to refund the money if il
does not give satisfaction. Recon-

Every one who is interested in the
religious drama lin England. will re-
ioice at the removal of an old restrio-
tiou resulting in the production Of
"Joseph' in London recently. II is more
natural that an Engishman, who is
writing O poetic drama, should turn TO
the Old Testament for his material
than 10 the legends of Greece and Rome
or the Goths on NOrsemen. 10 helps him
TO count upon his audience when it has
an outline of the events with which he
s dealing in their minds, and it helps
him more still when religious ideas are
already interviewer in the fabric that
he handles
a dramatist may freely weave into a
historic play matter of his own inven-
tion. He may take liberties with re-
corded facts Such license will be con-
ceded to one who handles a theme from
the sacred books. Questions that have
no real importance may be raised and
discussed such criticisms seem inept,
but a dramatist handling these subjects
often will be hard put to decide
whether some variation from the Bible
story. or a choice between varying YER
sions i'm the Book itself may not estab-
lish a frame of mind in his audiences
hostile 10 the purpose ne has in view
1 have no doubt that the opening Of
the Old Testament as q mine In which
poets NAV seek their material for the
stage will enrich the drama. 1.-The Sin
of David ana "Iole" were founded on
old Testament stories But so far as
the religious drama is concerned, Eng
land still is fettered by restrictions
that seem intolerable to the modern
mind. After all the Christian religion

should a play be prohibited, if 1T deals
with the essentials of the Christian

The play i'm question was The Soul

ArnLErICs ANp GIANTs.

- MERlCAN interest in baseball never was evil
n denced more fully than yesterday when aOOoO
enthusiasts assembled in the Polo Grounds In New
York city to see the first of the worlds series cham
pionship games between the Giants and the Athletics
And that assemblage in the Polo Grounds, large as
II was was a mere bagatelle when compared with the
aggregate of other assembages about the bulletin
boards throughout the United States They numbered
mione OF persons and all classes and conditions oi
men, women and children embraced therein.
The result Of the first game was far from pleasing
to the New York fans who witnessed It, They mad
counted confidently upon the Giants defeating the Atm
etics on the home grounds. Unfortunately for the
Giants however. Rube Marquard lost control of the
ball That enabled Baker 10 make his home run and
gave other benefits 10 Athletics which we're ruinous
10 the davis hopes OF the Giants. In fact Marquard
frankly admits that he alone is responsible for the
loss OF the game
Those who are disposed TO accept the outcome OF
the first game as an augury of the outcome of the
series should not permit view to lead them TO do
ANYTHING rash They should remember that the series
Is stn youn-; that the Giants have great recupera-
tive power and that when aggregatons such as Nc
craw and Mack have built up face each other the
slightest error Of Judgment misadventure may turn
the tide battle.
All baseball partsans must admit that the game
yesterday was a clean and, good sports, they
musA accept It's outcome in proper spirit Meantime
we wish to renew our assurance to Wilmington
ians that shall continue to give to them the same
good score board bulletin board, megaphpne tele-
phone and special edition service to the end Of the
series that gave them yesterday
