Orchestra Season an Assured Success

Judging from the advance sale of season
seats, there will be more interest displayed
in the coming season of Philadelphia Orchestra
concerts than in any Of the IA preceding ones.
The Friday afternoon concerts have always
been the most popular of the weekly pair and
this year is proving no exception. Every one
Of the boxes for the matinee series has been
subscribed for. But in addition interest in
tho Saturday evening concerts shows an in-
crease, perhaps due to realization that the
program has enjoyed additional preparation
in view Of its rendition on the preceding after
noon.
Among those VINO have taken boxes for Sat-
urday evenings are Alexander Van Rensselaer,,
Edward Box, Richard Y Cook Mrs Thomaa
Robins Miss Nina Loa, Mrs. l.. Howard
Weatherly, Mrs. Samuel S. Fes, Mrs. George
Alfred Fletcher Mrs Samuel H. Austin. WILL

FLASHES FROM STARS"

Is public interest in Shakespeare waning?
Has the classic drama reached ebb-tide
in this country? Since Sothern and Marlowe
gave up playing Shakespeare proftably, 1t is
said that Shakespeare has been produced at
loss Miss Margaret Anglin. it Is said, found
the Bard of Avon less profitable than oscar
Wilde, and gave up "Thc Tanning of the Shrew''
for Lady Windermere's Fan" After William
F'aversham's disastrous experiment in Shake
speare last February, general surprise felt
when James X. Hackett decided to play Othello.
Mr.. Hackett played Othello, but found that
public interest turned more to modern comedy
and melodramas dealing with criminal million
aires and politicians. So he has relegated his
shakespearean scenery to the storage ware
house. and will presently appear in new
romantic play, The prospect of seeing Shake
speare this season is dim, indeed the only
production promised being Twelfth Night"

Landlords And Tenants

Since becoming a reader OF
your valuable paper I have
read all the discussions with IN
terest: Duty Of tenant, duty Of
Landlord, and their relations.
Having had some experience
along these lines I feel inclined
to join tho discussion:
/ own 10 acres of land, with
SO acres in cultivation. I work
all this myself in corn, oats.
cowpeas and cotton. I have no
tenants. Ny neighbors on each
side have tenants and while I
saw wood and say nothing" |
hear both complaints And my
impartial decision is that it is
the same old story that general
! ly exists with all the farmers,
lack of cooperation. We are
all so afraid of doing something
that will benefit our neighbor
that we actually fail in our own
behalf.
This winter while breaking
my land with a ten-inch plow
as deep as three horses could
pull, a tenent neighbor came in
the field and strongly empha-
sized the work as leing the
thing.
AS this tenant worked the
same land last year and laid his
crop by so that at CATHERINE
time there appeared to DE at
least a ton of crab grass to the
acre, I told him I thought he
would at least make the rent
over and above by turning un-
der all this grass during the
winter. This he said he could
not afford, being a renter: that
he had rather burn off and
break in the spring and save
two breakings. To this I re-
piled that it would only be nee
essary to disk instead Of break
twice (owner furnishes him
disk. This he also claimed he
could not afford, as he would be
improving the land for the own.
er. This man. with numbers Of
others, has not done a days
work this winter.
This is very much the policy
of all the tenants l have eyer
known. If they break a pane
from the window they Cali for
the owner to put in another.
Allow the ditch that drains the
lot to fill up and notify the own
er that they can hardly get in
their lot on account OF the mud:
Is it any wonder such people
are renters? This same lack of
cooperation and same stupidity
is characteristic of a vast major
ity of the landowners and is
the most damaging example
and the greatest obstruction to
progress in our Dixie Land. IS
it any wonder the tenant is so
trifling? In the general sum-
ming up of the subject one is
about the equal of the other,
and all affected with the same
old disease, growl. growl and do
nothing. .-Arkansan, in The
Progressive Farmer.
