1T cannot recede from It's settled de-

the peril which Americans along the

All right thinking persons. forward

President Wilson's Opportunity.

The literacy test for immigrants Is

TONS history would have retarded

prived us Of thousands Of loyal and
devoted citizens who contributed by
their w efforts and through their

MI. WILSON another opportunity is
70 be given to reject It; and that
opportunity comes ut a time when
depleted labor markets, industries
crippled by lack Of workers, and
commercial conditions exposing our
present and future need Of able bodied
immigrants must impress on the in.
teligence OF disinterested observers
the folly Of locking tho door to any
individual Of good health, honest mind
and friendly disposition.
MI. WILSON has already given the
final evidence of his understanding

there has come into the theatre man.
ayers philosophy a new theory. The.
cries, It might be explained, already
abound in his world. There are the.
cries to explain everything from the
failure of one fellows play to the
success Of the others. The latest in
this number Of theories Is meant to
explain why the plays which were so
successful here last winter should
have been so indifferently received on
their travels that they were brought
home after a brief trial.
This quality common to all these
plays that met with success here, but
not elsewhere. made them dramas o.
n kind that could be safely visited in
New York by strangers who would
never have admitted at home that
they had cen such a piece. They
were all, in other words, more or less
piquant and more or less of the kind
to be taken as a part Of a visit to
n wicked but instructive metropolis.
But attendance upon them was never
to be thought Of at home.
The American managers are not
nlone in the necessity of facing this
difficulty. Paris used to supply tho
world with plays. II not in their origi.
nal form at least in adaptation. So
local has the interest Of the present
generation Of Paris playwrlghts be.
come. however. that It is said their
works are no longer understood at
Versailles. Thus has the difficult task
Of the successful theatre manager
taken on new hardships. How to
please New York and Keokuk In the
same degree with the same play Is rs
much Of a problem as 1t ever was.

Plays and Geography.

The metropolitan managers who nj.
ways bring their wares to market
with al eye on the cities outside New
York as a possible field for future
profits have had some puzzling ex.
~periences during the present season.
They have lived to see some Of the
properties which they had consid-
cred most valuable In that outlying
and profitable region known as 1.-THE
road" rejected without n hearing. In
other words several plays which had
been acted with profit during long
periods here failed altogether to in
terest the public IL other cities. The
most pathetic feature OF this feast of
hopes disappointed was the indlffer-
ence to the quality of the plays. Au-
diences never wen gathered to see
what they were like.
Nothing is more dlscouraging Ia
the manager thnn this preconcelved
prejudice, which keeps the public
away from the theatre. What Its
state Of mind may be concerning the
play interests the manager less when
the cost of admission was a condition
precedent to the formation Of a judg.
ment. But to make up its mind with,
out the ceremony Of buying n ticket
is the cruellest form that public in
difference can tuke.
