GIVES BRILLIANT PROMISE.

Francis Powell. for many years stage
director for the Sothern and MarIowe
combination. and other leading American
dramatic companies. promises to play a
most important part in the movement
for the advancement Of American drama.
Mr. Powell is a pI Jducer Of originality
and intelligence. "One OF the most i'm
portant movements for the betterment
OF the American drama" he declares,
has been the formation of special classes
in dramatic construction in several Of
our larger universities. Indeed. at Har-
ward not only can technical instruction
be had, but actual stage directions Sc
cured in The Workshop provided the
material be of sufficient promise. The
value OF such training is already seen.
and in many Of the American theaters
the work Of such playwrights occupies
the stage, in many cases being rated
among the successes OF the current sea-
sons, and giving even greater promise
for the future" Mr.. Powell believe that
the positions now occupied by Shaw.
Glasworthy, Barker and Maseheld in
England, and Maeterlinck. Brieux and
Won Honmannstahl In Europe, will be
occupied in our own country by the
younger generation of dramatists who
have already given indication of possess
ing all the requirements for success.

Along with other phenomena indica-
tive Of the new spirit Of England comes
the constantly growing demand for the
Inauguration Of the Continental Sunday.
with particular regard to the theaters-
The following article. written by Arthur
Boucher, NJ. A. (Oxcn.), appeared in a
recent number Of 7. P.'s Weekly, and
in a sense is typical OF the arguments
which the reformeYs are using:
Plain speaking probably never did
much harm-except to the speaker. And
sometimes It has even been known to
do good Should these few random
words chance to meet the eye Of an
open mind in an idle half hour they may
provide fuel for thought
The Ash Wednesday farce Of closing
theaters has been abolished, but on
Good Friday the drinking saloons can
still tell a hattering tale And now
what do We find? The music halls are
allowed to fill their theaters from floor
TO ceiling for Sunday League concerts.
Such heavy emoluments do these enter
tainments apparently yield that their
organizers do don't find IL worth their
while to consider the suggestions made
BY several London managers that their
sphere OF operations should extend
on Sunday. The heavy days work at
the ofice" has not fatigued the public.
They would come fresh and keen to the
light combat Of wit or the darker tussle
Of tragedy. On Sunday there is no ex-
cuse for any one saying they merely
want to be amused in the evening.
They have Saturday for that. Realizing
this the German theaters very largely
make Sunday evening a classical even
ing.
And they have less justification in one
sense For Sunday is the German work
er's Saturday. II is not too much to say
that the present iniquitous regulations
rob the English actor of one Of his
greatest opportunities for doing artistic
work For that opportunity would be
gladly seized. IL only to relieve the men,
tai tedium Of the long run"
From the merely managerial point of
view II would often be found advisable
to produce several plays on Sundays
which are now relegated to matinees and
stray producing societies. The reason Is
simple. although intrinsically fine plays,
they are not what are termed box
office plays" Were the theaters to be
opened on Sundays, these clever works
could be produced and they would be
fairly sure OF drawing audiences suf
large to pay for the expert
ment.
The educational point Of view, too,

BIG Big HOUSE IS SAVED 90
Property Was Owned BY Mrs. Ida N.
Tanning Buildings Empty
Fire Origin I'm
known.

Two barns, an Ice house, and 9
creamery, at 1904 Oak street, were
burned to the ground yesterday morn
ing in fire that started. from un.
known origin. The buildings that
burned. were valued At $4,000. They
were the property OF Mrs. Ida M. Fan
ming, wife OF G. w. Tanning, 61s
Franklin street. A large two-story
frame house, within a few feet OF the
structures which burned was saved
through the efforts OF the fire depart
ment, although the heat from the burn
ing buildings damaged the walls to
some extent.
The fire started at 10 o'clock in the
ice house. All the buildings, as well
as the house, were vacant and no one
knows how the fire started. Before
the fire department. could arrive the
fire had gathered such q big start that
1t was impossible to save the 'arge
barns and the department ccntered
its efforts in the endeavor to save
the house. 1t was necessary to lay
1850 feet OF hose to reach the house
Both the barns were empty.
Only small part OF the loss was
cover.,G by insurance. The barns.
valued at $500, were insured for $3.50.
These were total loss, being burned
to the ground. The house, insured
for $1,000 was damaged to the extent
OF about $3.50. The insurance was
carried in the Iowa State Insurance
company.
\. One 100 foot section Of hose was
destroyed by the fire.
