The Small Experimental Theatre

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: For over thirty years | have been
watching the shifting history of the theatre
in New York. | have seen the beginning and
the end of a multitude of managers and of
many movements, and have listened hith-
erto with silence to the word OF those brave
champions who, seeking the limelight for a
moment, have preached the better cause
in the theatre.
Last season in New York City and for sew.
eral seasons before in other parts of the
United States and Europe there were signs
of a new and hopeful beginning. signs of an
humble and experimental spirit which APP
piled to the questions Of the theatre and
showed tremendous possibility. Even the
commercial managers and the theatrical pro-
fession-a much maligned race of people
who are ever sincerely curious of advance.

the New Theatre" without even mentioning
the importance Of such playhouses as The

Players of New York.
Mr. Corbin has apparently forgotten that
the only genuinely constructive spirit in the
theatre is not a successful exploitation OF
the "star system" which the new theatre
failed to realize, but procedure which al.
lows the writer, the decorator and the actor
as far as possible to express themselves &C.
oordng to their own inspiration, so that
mutual coordination OF sympathes will re-
suit in a richer art form than that which IA
by necessity poured into preconceived con-
yenton. This method of handling the dLama
and its allied arts is the very basis of the
smaller theatres of the nature mentioned.
II Mr. Corbn personally has not thought
such organizations worthy OF his attention
the public and the press have felt otherwise
and the support given to such theatres last
year proves one thing il nothing else, and
that is that a living force creates its own

Dangers in Partisanshir.

Sir: In your editorial page appears to-da1
a letter from G. C. Thomas, whom | under
stand to be an American gentleman, well
meaning and we'll informed. Having per-
mitted Mr.. Thomas to express his views upon
British Protection" kindly allow me to ex-
press my views upon the letter.
Mr.. Thomas asks: what do the L. S. A
owe to the British navy?" and suggests that
the British navy protects our commerce
May | say TO Mr.. Thomas that our commerce
is protected by our own navy? Speaking his
torically, however, we do owe the British
navy something, namely the War Of 1872, in
GLIDING the burning of Washington, and our
loss Of our mercantile marine.
Let me ask Mr.. Thomas: What more have
we to fear of Germany than of England? Is
the German army more dangerous to- the
worlds peace than the British navy?"
MY fathers fought England in two long
wars. helped in Independence Hall to found
our nation, and if Mr.. Thomas could read the
quaint old journals which they left behind
them he would realize how dangerous II
would be for the American Republic to side
officially, with either party in this struggle

Twilight Sleep and the Doctors.

1t is well to be reminded by the "Ameri
can Journal of Surgery" that the protag
onists of the loudly heralded twilight
sleep have always been much given to
enthusiasm and that this is not the first
stampede engineered by Kroenig and
Gauss" The illustrious teachers of Fret
burg were no less jealous and unrestrained
few years ago in clarifying the posi-
bilities OF radium and mesothorium, and
before that they were among the most
extravagant advocates of the Roentgen
rays. Their questionable promises and
predictions on those occasions should be
remembered in measuring the probable
value of their present estimate of the
newly popularized. method Of painless
1t has been intimated that the medical
men are in a conspiracy against this great
method. but the truth is that hitherto the
medical men have not had much of a
hearing The popular movement began
here with a more or less grotesque article
in one of the magazines by two women
who were obviously inexpert reporters,
and since then it has been carried on IN
the main by people utterly unqualified to
Judge of the matter, but ready enough to
abuse the doctors for not falling in with
their enthusiasm. The sociological de-
partment" of a certain medical publishing
took it up, produced a series of
moving pictures supposed to represent the
process in a dramatic manner, and made
use of the occasion to advertise their next
great educational" production-a play of
which the theme was a secret for I'M
portant reasons, which cannot now be di-
but a play promising "the most
horrible climax on the American stage
The way in which twilight sleep has
been advertised is in short altogether OBJ
jectionable, resembling the method used by
DR.. Saleeby and others when trypsin was
introduced as the great treatment for can
Ger. Now that experienced physicians ere
at last securing hearing, it seems prob
able that its merits were enormously ex-
aggerated, but in any case it is already
obvious that it has had fair trial in this
country.

Victory at the Golden Gate.

The Panama-Pacific Exposition is prov
ing a financial success. Not so long ago
the documents of Indebtedness at the foun-
dation of the great undertaking were pub
licly burned in celebration Of their can
collation., and from time to time there
come new summaries of attendance TO
prove that the big show, with three months
and a half to go, continues to attract a
safe margin of visitors.
On Monday, for example, it was an
nounced that the total attendance had
reached 100000 or an average of G1,-
81 day since the opening in February.
Before the opening the stout-hearted San
Franciscans in charge of the exposition
figured that a daily average attendance
of 40 900 would permit them to break even,
but not all of them, by any means, could
see clearly whence all these people were to
come.
They knew that the immediate COM
nlunity surrounding San Francisco Bay
boosted three quarters Of a million, a
great many of whom would repeatedly
visit the fair Yet less than a month
would exhaust this local support and that
of the sparsely settled country for a great
many miles beyond in every direction.
They found little consolation, therefore,
in remembering that more than three
quarters of the great attendance at the St.
Louis fair originated within a radius of
100 miles Of st. Louis. If that was to be
the case at San Francisco, this most beau
tiful of expositions, they frankly admitted,
must prove fiat failure. The radius of
their main support must be thousands of
miles in length and at time when Ameri-
cans were feeling poorer than they had
in many a long year, and not only poorer
but less confident of the future.
Add to this outlook the delay and dis
appointment involving many of the most
important foreign exhibits, and the cour-
age of these men in opening on schedule
time and cheerily inviting the world to
view the wonders Of their promotion may
the better be appreciated. They took what
seemed a tremendous chance to maintain
the high reputation of San Franciscans
for sand" and perseverance, and they
have won a great victory. The country
has reason to be proud of them and their
show, much prouder than of another and
more vital exhibition staged further east.

What do you think of the generals? Is
General Joffre great man? ?" are questions
which am constantly asked. Evidently they
require to be answered with discretion.
good, rough rule is, by their fruits We shall
know them" A general who has won his
battles is likely to be good general and
one who has lost them is probably not so
good. This is, however, applicable only to
such generals as have been in Independent
command. Moreover, as neither the British
nor the French armies have been engaged in
European warfare since 1870, there are no
facts to go upon with regard to the generals
except such as have been supplied by the
present war.
Military historians have another plan by
which they can judge Of generals. They ex-
anime the orders which a general issued and
the dispatches which ne wrote. From these
they judge whether he had a clear grasp of
the situation in which he found himself and
handled his army in a manner appropriate
to the conditions.
| have just been reading two pamphlets
which throw scne light upon the character
and generalship Of the generalissimo Of the
French armies, who is necessarily the
director of the campaign in the west. For it
is an elementary and vital principle that in
one theatre there must be one directing mind.
Every one remembers the beginning Of the
campaign, when the French armies advancing
into Lorraine were defeated, while the Ger
man armies passing through Belgium drove
back the left wing of the Allied armies.
Those events hardly seemed to augur well
for the general direction in this theatre of
war Then came the battle Of the Marne, a
great event. for the area Of the battlefield
stretched from the ourcq to the Ardennes, or
perhaps it would be more correct to say from
Paris to Verdun, and the number Of troops
engaged was more than five times as great
as at Leipsic or K0nggratz, the greatest bat
tie of the nineteenth century. In the battle
Of the Name the Germans were defeated and
driven back TO the Asne. II was quite clear
that behind victory like that there must
have been a strong man. The two nations
were, therefore, justified, on the principle OF
judgment by results, in giving their conf
dence to General Johre. The impression de-
rived from the events was strengthened by a
