he has To carry n bunch of twenty
six keys. Fur a long time il caused
him It great deal of bother at night
To pick out the particular key neces-
sary to insert in a lock in the dark.
often three or four keys were tried
before the right one was found. and
very often in consequence he became
petulant.
one night his little ~siN-vear-old hoy
seized the key chain on which the
twenty-siN keys were fastened and
CoaNed to have the bunch To play with

to call the keys 10y h letters OF the
alphabet he was just then learning.
His father was struck with the idea.
The twenty-siX letters of the alphabet
suggested markings with the letters
of the alphabet. The idea bore imme-
date fruit.
Al first the Staten Island man pre-
pared to have the letters punched on
the keys so hat they might he felt

He ave up that plan because he found

keys TO punch a letter in the metal,

ABAIR. OF SILK STOCKINGS

popularity here, although there has
been an inslstent production Of them
year after ear. Only one play by
Henry Bernstein was eve profitable
In this country. Evidently the time had
come for some change in the supply
of amusement before the movies made
their c.ean sweep.
Arriving thus at the psychological
moment. the demand for plays having
so far exceeded the supply. the NOV
ing picture plays found little or no
rivalry from the actors. There is not
among the players of the stage to-day
any sufficiently dominating personality
or perhaps there Is only one in
ele ctric theatre. There is no %eloquence
of utterance. no irres!stib e gayety, no
touching pathos so powerful as to
bring the public into the theatre when
there is not the commanding force in
the play itself. In other words, the
| power Of the actor over the audience
has so far disappeared that unless
there Is vitality in n play the art of
the player is impotent.
So. there was nothing that the actor
had TO OFFER in the theatre to oppose
, against the advancing movies. The
playwrights had shown themselves in
apable Of meeting the increased de-
mand for serviceable plays. the actors
are unable to command the attention
OF the public on their own account
and there Is always the difference be-
tween theatre prices and those OF the
picture plays TO be taken into con-
siGeration. So, il half the theatres
along Broadway follow the example of
the Knickerbocker and shelter the
players who are seen but not heard
II will be as much the fault OF the
players as the dramat!sts. But 1t will
in the first place be the managers who
have made both their actors and their
dramatlsts what they are. And what
eve that may be, It IL no possible for
them to stand up against the picture
plays.
