PLEADS FOR THE
WHOLESOME PLAY
Bruce McRae Thinks Idea That
All People Want the Other
Kind Is Wrong.

To the finicky person the word
wholesome. as applied to the drama.
Immediately causes an upturn Of his or
light or airy. Wholesome, says the
fnicky one, should only be applied to
homemade bread or corned beef and
cabbage, never to the drama.
of Just the opposite opinion is Bruce
McRae. who is appearing in the princi-
pal role of Edgar Selwyn's Nearly
Married." farce at the Columbia
Theater.
MY faith" says Mr.. McRae, 'is in
the wholesome drama. The stage Is
not a hospital for our social sores and
ulcers. It's the good. old-fashioned
love story. clean in sentiment and pure
in spirit. that the majority Of The pub
lie want to see. Narrow people may
prefer morbid plays. Gourmets. you
knew, cannot get along without elaborate
seasoing for their meats. But apart
from the fact that We are not all Ike.
II is true that what we like Is not al
ways good for U.s."
'One Of the most effective arguments
in favor Of tho clean. wholesome
drama" says Mr. McRae. rs Cyril
Maude's Characterization Of Grumpy.
and Mr.. Maude's great triumph in the
role in New York Is most significant In
that II directly opposes the trend CT the
Gotham stage and at the same time Is
one of the seasons most notable sue
cesses.
The modern discriminating playgoer
has nv sympathy, for he certainly has
a hard time trying to make sure that
the attractions at supposedly respect-
q bic theaters are not Indecent, before
to attend. And with my
sympathy goes also my congratulations,
for II 10 the Same discriminating
that will in the end make
for the triumph Of the clean, whole

MYRTLE ELVYN SECURED
FOR VALLEY ClTY,REC[TAL
Favorite Concert Pianist In
Both This Country and
Europe to Appear at
Normal Auditorium
PLAYED AT GERMAN COURT

Nine. Myrtle Elvyn. concert plan
ist who two years ago by invitation
of Emperor William appeared in re-
cital at the court of Germany and per.
haps one of the finest musical artists
to be heard here since the recital Of
Nine. Schumann-Heink, will appear in
the Normal auditorium Wednesday
evening February Is. This date was
originally reserved for the appearance
of Thuel Burnham, who is too i'll at
the present time to continue his en-
gagements.
BY special arrangement with the
management of these artists Miss
Elvyn will fill Mr.. Burnham's Valley
City engagement, an arrangement
which will be particularly gratifying
In the light of Miss Elvyn's musical
triumphs. The waves Of enthusiasm
which Myrtle Elvyn's initial and in.
stantaneous, brilliant success before
the most difficult audiences of Eu-
rope and America evoked, have calm
ed down into the long and steady
swell of genuine, mature and critical
appreciation. Managers have said
that never before in the history Of the
concert stage has the debut Of a young
artist been followed by such an un-
broken series of magnificent achieve.
ments.
Myrtle Elvyn has been distinguish.
ed from other pianists as being Of a
gratifying refreshing type. The
breadth, nobility, and grandeur of
Bach and Beethoven. the poetic es-
sence of Schumann and Chopin, the
fire and passion of Liszt, the evane-
scence Of subtleties Of contemporary
impressionists, are equally congenial
to her temperament and powers Of ex.
ecution.
AS an admitted favorite Of the Amer
ican public. Miss Elvyn's present
transcontinental tour is anticipated
with fervent interest and bespeaks for
her repetition Of her former
triumphs.
