one way of reducing the cost to the con-
sumer But, he said he would suggest
IAN even better way of reducing" and that
would be to benefit the small consumer
rather than the large consumer because,
he said, the rate as far as the large con-
sumer was concerned automatically ad.
justed itself.
For example if too high a rate was
charged to the large consumer, he could
afford to build his own power plant. But
the small consumer the householder, could
not do this, and was at the mercy of the
company. Therefore, said Mr.. Ballard, the
commission should rather take the part of
the little fellow" who could not help
himself
He then proposed that the commercial
lighting and residence rates should be de.
creased so per cent, the municipal arc
rate by Is 1-3 per cent; but that the com
mercial power and railroad and utilities
power rates should be left at the same
figures at which they now are.
This reduction of the residence rates
would mean that instead of paying 10 and
~ cents per klowatt hour, the house,
holders would pay only 8 and cents
The city would pay for each arc lamp
S65.91, instead of SS1. On this basis the
city total Dill FOR 1914 would have been
S1,O12,0s2.70 that is, IS 1-3 per cent. less
than 1t did pay.
SURPLUS EARNINGS.
Mr.. Ballard remarked that the company
earned in 1914 about % per cent more
than it should have done If the rates were
based on fair estimate of value of the
plant and if there had been a fair oper-
ating cost basis.
Mr.. Jackson had included $1,997741 in
his appraisal, as brokerage and commits
sion fees and discounts Mr. Ballard said
this would be cut out of his estimate for
legal reasons. William Draper Lewis,
chief counsel for the complanants, then
arose and said that witness would be
called later to explain these legal reasons.

he went on writing plays. Then he had
chance to become editor Of another

After one issue under his editorship
the publication died, and Goodman
went on writing plays. Deciding that

such help can be summoned to make
the audience know what the author
intended; the characters in the play
have got TO do it all.
But the author OF book Is priv
LEGGED TO digress and explain and tell
you what kind Of people he thinks they
are and how he feels about this or that
phase OF life, and 10 skip ah7ut from
place to place with his tale, telling us
what Is going on in a dozen different
spots at once. Now, consider again the
playwright, who must confne his story
70 the action which the audience sctu-
allv sees and the time OF its passing
TO. about two hours and one-half. Dur
ing this precious short time the com
plete story must march along; 1t must
be lived, not told, by characters who
are allowed 10 talk only TO each other
never TO the audience.
One word said TO the audience for
the sake Of explaining something makes
bookwriting out Of playwriting and
mere talk out OF drama. The basic
idea-unit, main theme or whatever
one chooses to call It's the founda-
ton Of play, and everything else
must be thrown away in the beginning
Upon this simple, solid structure the
scenes grow in their relative values,
gaining IN importance and increasing
in speed as the play progresses.
Therefore, putting the episodes Of
story into a play just because they
are good episodes is the first thing TO
be avoided. The retention OF the char
acterization of story. OF its atmos-
phere and quality, IL the important
thing in dramatiEing that story. When
this Is done on q structure 30 COM
pletely a play in itself that one never
would suspect sit was taken from
story" then the dramatist has done
really fne piece Of work.
One of the liberties took with "Old
Lady 81" incidentally, was putting u
bsck IN the SOS, so that the quaintness
Of the clothes would soften the sordid-
mes, OF poverty and the gentle gingers
., . removed time lend q glamour and
charm which the modern moment does
not hold.

the dust, but we counsel caution for
the more real persons of the legiti-
mate stage.
Some folk think that Shaw, for in
stance, is tedious, and Yet in some
respects he is scarcely slow. Reggie,
Of Getting Married" kisses Mrs.
George exactly six minutes after the
introduction, Captain Edstaston, of
Great Catherine" captivates the En-
press Of Russia in little more than
three minutes, and the Inca Of Peru
salem suggests morganatic marriage
10 Ermyntrude in about half an hour.
We were a bit too sweeping in our
condemnation of "The Inca Of Peru
salem" After all, the troubles Of the
Royal Princess with a telephone are
highly amusing.
"Bushido," the interesting japanese
play on the bill of the Washington
Square Players, illustrates just how
much emotion is treasured by an I'M
emotional people. An American or
English author would establish the fact
that the father has sacrificed his son
for the sake Of loyalty to his lord and
get his curtain down soon after the
thrill.
A japanese author is different. His
is an audience of cheerful mien most
difficult to purge by pity and fear.
II is hard to work them up to pro-
found emotion. and once they are there
the playwright will not be so extrav-
agant as to toss away a mood. lie
prefers to hold it and stress the idea
again and again.
Strangely enough, this people, whose
ar. is highly suggestive, demand
more or less literal drama. They are
not content with symbols which sat
isfy the Chinese. They prefer that
death should be long and lingering.
Moreover, the Japanese playwright
may not say They lived unhsppily
ever after" He must prove it. Per
haps that is why q Japanese play con-
sumes twelve hours.

TIP to late hour last night Jules
~ Eckert Goodman had three of his
plays on view in this city-a triple
playted dramatist, if you care for that
sort of thing. At II o'clock the indif-
ferent one came to definite stop, but
the two good ones coBtinued. Dir.
Goodman thereupon fell back into the
Roi Cooper Megrue class, but he had
the satisfaction Of leading the drama
lists league for q month. Once upon
a time Clyde Fitch had four plays, or
maybe Il was FIVE, running here stimuli
taneously, but under the present pro
ducing conditions Mr.. Goodman's rec
ord Of three will probably stand for
many years.
Mr.. Goodman's replies TO all ques-
tons relating to how he did II are dis
couragingly unsensationsl. Really,
they don't make good Sunday copy at
all In fact, they sound a great deal
like one of John D. Rockefeller's talks
to little girl encountered on the road
side. Practically anybody can be a
playwright, declares Mr.. Goodman. ~ he
tries hard enough. II is merely case
Of practice. For his own part he has
been trying to write plays for twenty
years, so by this time, he thinks, he
should possess some slight facility.
There Is no inspiration connected with
it-just work. II takes one year to
write a play. but almost anybody ought
70 be able TO learn the rules and write
a play in a year.

purchased two % cent cigars, and pro-
ceeded to report for work at the fiction
factory several hours behind time.
When reprimanded he offered his
superior one of the 25 cent cigars, ac-
companied by his resignation.
Within a week he sold two more plays
THE Right to Live" and "The Man
Who Stood Still" Then he did brave
thing. He tore up all the rest. But it
turned out that selling a play and get
ting a production were two different
things, and the Goodman income was
not Immediately overwhelming. On the
contrary, 1t was not even sufficient to
enable him to marry. So he wrote to
his brother in the West and put
proposition up to him. In exchange for
q weekly stipend Of s25 he would give
him a one-third interest in everything
that he wrote, the arrangement to con-
tinue for five years. The brother ac-
cepted.
Il was six months before he was able
to send his brother any thirds, but
thereafter they followed rapidly. When
the amount Of the loans had been
reached the brother sportily declared
the deal of and tore up the contract.
Such a contract with Mr.. Goodman to-
day might be worth-well, the figures
shouldn't be mentioned by a newspa-
per man. Up to the aforesaid late hour
last night Mr.. Goodman shared royal
ties on the now defunct "Object Mstri-
mony." He shares them now on "The
Man Who Came Back" and the wise
ticket men have purchased seats until
April. And for a second season he
draws a comfortable income from
Treasure Island" which is the only
play in town now in its second season.
To say nothing Of dozen Goodman
dramas now earning regular and well
come sums in stock.
And anybody can do it, remember.
Just work-and perhaps little some
thing else.
