Taught Self Reliance,

BY this time, in any other except last
year, the exodus Of New York theater
managers to Europe would have begun.
The dependence which our producers
formerly placed on the foreign stage
was so great that no manager would
venture to make his plans for the next
year without first taking a careful in
ventory Of the new plays OF the London
spring season. This policy, in fact, was
so universally followed al one time that
each winter season in New York was
not much more than an echo of the pre-
ceding spring season in the theaters
abroad. In those days the complaint
that the native playwright received only
the scantiest consideration or encourage
ment from American producers was well
founded The war in Europe has taught
the theater in this country to be self
reliant. But even previous to its out
break managers had begun to see the
advantage Of producing plays more in
harmony with our native views Of life.
Only in the last year has it been demon
strated, however, that our stage, If
necessary, can be quite independent of
the foreign playwrights. The season,
which is now drawing to a close. has been
the most vigorous and interesting in
years.-New York World.

When the beaux and bellies OF 81

Intoxicating scene Is brought the tattered

conflict OF the battle OF Bull Run when
the Confederates drove the Federsls head
long before them and baptized the Stars

Rebs exult and how the women cheer as
the flag Is displayed and one hears the
strains Of Bonnie Blue Flag succeed
the waltz music, But soon comes the
news that the young officers at the ball
must go to the front. A scene Of wild
confusion follows upon the joyous, or
derly dance, and at daybreak when the
ballroom Is deserted and everyone is rae
ing about the streets, the chaos and
alarms OF approaching strife are re-
hected by the strains OF Suppe's Light
