In the various forms of theatrical
activity proposed tpr this city one has
heard nothing of the proletariat thea
tire which seems to have begun In
Milan and Is Just about to have a trial
in London. In the large auditorium
there selected by Rosina Fillippi for
the production Of the plays by Shake
speare and others-who will the others
be?-it Is believed that performances
may be given for the small sum Of
slxpence as a minimum price. There
Is TO be no seat costing more than q
shilling. Henry Arthur Jones has writ
ten enthusiastically about the artistic
results OF the scheme. recalling the
actors developed al Sadler's Wells when
that institution was In reality pro-
letarian institution. Mr.. Jones thinks
that such a theatre will be admirable
as a training school for young actors
and will indeed provide such a school
as England does not possess to-day and
needs so much.
Aside from It's practical difficulties 1t
| does not seem as II there were to-day
| demand for any entertainment In this
ountry that costs less than the maxi
mum price. Only few days ago the
students OF a girls college had to be
persuaded that they ought to consent
TO go into the galleries instead OF stay
ing at home when they wanted to see
play because the expensive seats
were the only ones In which they could
sit without loss OF dignity or some
thing else that they felt 1t more I'm
portant to retain than go to the play
and sit anywhere but In the best seats
II 10 not easy to reconcile such q state

they were still obscured by the rays
from the genius Of their predecessors.
Sometimes the complaint OF the play
ers that their achievements were alto
gether obscured In this glow OF memory
was we'll founded.
But nowadays they have no such
cause for complaint. Those Interested
in the occasional performance of the
plays OF Shakespeare In the regular

there. So their efforts are received
, with a cordially long denied to them.

ested In its progress. There 10 no thea
tire either here or In England prepared
to preserve the masterpieces Of the
English drama without the necessity
OF public support. In other words In
the English speaking theatres the clas-
sic drama must pay its way. No State
aid relieves the conduct Of the play
house that would produce the plays Of
Shakespeare and the rest Of the Eng
lish classic theatre from the necessity
OF commercial support.
The classic theatre outside the plays
Of Shakespeare Is small, confined pos
sibly to the dramas OF Goldsmith and
Sheridan. or the many Elizabethan
dramas only few were acted in the
age Immediately after their first per-
formance. Now they are mposs bic.
Thus the classic drama in the English
language is practically limited to the
Shakespeare pays and half dozen
others.
The professional managers In this
country have demonstrated their indif-
ference to these dramas, The last OF
this tribe TO make a feature Of their
production was Augustln DAILY. Now
adays ambitious actors risk their saw
ings and the occasional contributions
of some wealthy "backer," They de-
serve all possible announcement. I'm
less the theatre Of Shakespeare Is to dis
appear here altogether 1t must be KEEP
| alive by the ambitions of American
players, II Is not to be expected thai
the public or the managers will con
tribute otherwise than through the box
office to the support of any Of these re-
vivals. The actor who receives their
Anal support In this way 10 indeed en-
titled to count himself fortunate.
Unden.ab'y the actors who risk their
savings and loss their time In produ-
cling the plays Of Shakespeare deserve
all the support they receive. They were
for a long time regarded rather criti-
caliy. They had come too soon after
their famous predecessors. 1t did no,
especially matter what the comparative
