A Little Message
From Marie Dressler

What's the matter with Philadelphia? ?
Seems to me that all you good people
over here have lost your high spirits.
Don't tell me its BILLY" Sunday that
has depressed you, because my idea OF
religion is that it should make one as
happy as the day is long.
Officially, of course, I'm supposed to
be in Brooklyn this week. But / had a
toothache this morning when | woke up
so / thought I'd just hop on a train and
drop over to see my favorite dentist. It's
funny about dentists, isn't 1t? Once you
get a dentist i'm the family he generally
stays there for life. Doesn't matter how
far away l may be when the first twInge
hits me, so long as its anywhere this side
OF Chicago. l hop on train and hurry
to Philadelphia for treatment. There Is
some charm or soothing power about a
Philadelphia dentist that YOU can't find
in the species anywhere else in the world
Perhaps, on second thought, though, II
is l and not Philadelphia that Is feeling
down in the mouth. After all, I've got
some excuse for feeling that way when
I'm headed for the dentist.

'As for the marked success Of comedies
this year" says Mr.. JeX, that is readily
accounted for by the law of contrast. Or
rather one might say the scales of con-
trast, for with the terrible tragedy of the
war and its resultant business depression
flung into one side of the scale, the world
or that part of it which Is pleasure
seelling-naturally demands a wealth OF
laughter to balance the tears.
But then l believe the demand for
comedies is growing steadily. Anyway,
with the realization OF the fact that real
ism-that slogan OF the playwrIght-may
be achieved as readily through the happi-
ness of humanity as through it's suffering.

The greatest plays of the past, 1t must
be admitted, have been tragedies, but that

more dominant in the theatrical produc-
tons.
added to this" continues Mr.. Jex II
think that the growth of the Little The
atre movement, now so worldwide in its
scope, will increase the demand for good
comedy. Joy is essentially an intimate
emotion, not only because 1t is more
elusive than sorrow. but also because a
joyous play takes its audience SO deeply
into the playwright's confidence; and
sense of that intimacy Is one of the great
charms of the Little Theatre.
"Of course, that sense of players and
playgoers being at one may be Just as
poignantly felt in n tragedy, but to my
mind, tragedy needs n wide stage, an IL
fusion of vast space and distance that is
difficult to gain in the Little Theatre.
1--WE may, you know, prate eternally of
the plays the thing but Its settings can
very readily make or mar, whatever the
lines may be. A play as piece of lit
erary work is one thing, and the fin
ished production on n stage Is another,
for in the first only the playwright and
his characters are concerned and the play
Is the whole thing; but in the latter there
are working in conjunction director the
players, the overseer of the lights and
the scenic artist, and unless these form
component parts of an artistic whole, the
play itself becomes merely tumble OF
words.
I'm the Little Theatres this is especial
ly true because the sets must be minia-
lures rather than portraits, since the au-
dience cannot get far enough away for
the perspective needed for the sweeping
brush strokes of the portrait painter.
"Yet 1t is my earnest belief that the
Little Theatre and the repertoire theatre
is The real playhouse of the future, and
also believe that its list of plays will
include more comedies than tragedies In
the seasons to come"

Chancellor Charles NJ. Curtis has
issued an order for a rule returnable
on Saturday. September %, in the
case of Josiah o. Wolcott, attorney
general. VS.. the Century Life and Ac-
cident Insurance Company OF Phila-
delphia. The rule is TO show cause
why a receiver should not be appoint
ed to wind up the affairs of the
company on the ground that the cor.
poration is insolvent An injunction
is also sought to restrain the omcers
of the company from doing any busi-
ness, or disposing of any assets,
books. records or papers of the com
pany.
Insurance Commissioner William r.
McCabe notified Attorney General
Wolcott that from March /, 1914, he
had refused to grant a certificate to
the company on the ground that he
had reason TO believe the company
was insolvent and that its asserts
were not sufficient to carry on the
business. This action on the part of
the insurance commissioner was
equivalent to a revocation o. its char
ter. Attorney General Wolcott,
through Deputy Attorney General
Chaytor, filed the bill some time ago.
