VULGAR PLAYS NOT
POPULAR IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-The moral
sense Of Broadway is nearly safe and
sane, despite the frantic efforts of
its detractors. The avalanche of "red
light plays" that threatened to engulf
the theatrical Main Street and sell the
drama into white slavery is dying of
it's own weight. AS fast as the nasty
plays have bobbed up their heads they
have been swatted numerically by
public opinion. Most of them have
died a-bonin' and such of them as
have survived at all, have accomplish
ed the feat through ruthless pruning
and sweeping reform.
"Tody" the latest of the ill-smelling
offerings, met its fate at the new
Forty-eighth Street Theater, play
house the management of which
should have taken warning from the
"Smouldering Flame" which had a
run of one night. To-day" out run
its predecessor, but not enough to
brag about. There was no excuse
whatever for To-day" Even chari-
table minded critics, with microscopes
could find no semblance of moral
lesson in the piece.
A beautiful young wife, reared in
poverty, and spoiled by the luxury her
silly husband heaped upon her when
he was prosperous, chafed bitterly at
the straighteneds circumstances in
which she found herself when the hus-
band failed. Though the flat in
which they lived with the husbands
parents was better in every way than
the wife's girlhood home, she con-
stantly complained A former society
friend, also in Strengthened circum-
stances, told the young wife how she
could make money for finery by visit
ing a Riverside Drive flat. To-day"
differed from "The Lure" and "The
Fight" in that its lurid third act was
in a gilded flat instead of a "red
light" resort. The wronged husband

picture on the table when he goes to
collect the rent.
He obtains an appointment with his
wife, and when he meets her, desires
to kill her. He is prevented by the
pleas of his aged father and mother,

wife is left weeping in the flat. The
play is not even logical. 1t would be
absurd for a fashionable woman to
leave her photograph lying around
such a flat. If the woman who kept
the resort knew the husband, she
would not have arranged the meeting
and if she did not know him, how
came it that she summoned his father
and mother? The play was first pro-
duced at Yiddish theater on the
East Side and then George Broadhurst
brushed it up for Broadway.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 49,
Official confirmation has been receiv-
ed here of the reports that Huerta is
expected to resign before tomorrow.
Officials believe if he is abdcated
it is because of threats of assassin
alton or an army revolt.
Reports that all foreign diplo-
mats in Mexico City except the Brit
ish, held a meeting and urged Ameri-
can intervention, has also been con-
firmed.
The president has declined to take
any new step but advisers think he
will soon be forced to outline new
policy toward Mexico. Many believe
if Huerta withdraws it means an i'm

tion is sure it means fair elections.

some brand new productions at that
figure. j. j. Rosenthall came to Broad
way out of the west with his one
dollar show idea other managers have
had their eye on him, and it is pre-
dicted that if any one-dollar venture
makes good, all the other managers
will try it. Rosenthal's Candy Shop
is a musical comedy, and is said to
be playing to capacity every night

Last spring we thought we wanted

bought 4 lot OF horses and machinery
and proceeded to tease. tickle and
tantelize mother earth into giving US
4 good crop. We succeeded; she gave
birth to- one OF the best crops we ever
had. Then we thought that success
had crowned our efforts and farming
was the clear dope; but when we got
covered that wheat was only worth
