SMARTNESS AND IMMORTALITY.

A few seasons ago the people in
several of the big cities of the coun-
try were agreeably and disagreeably
shocked, according to their respective
viewpoints, by a play called The
Lure" the big scene of which depicted
a house of prostitution After receiving
voluminous free advertising and at
tendant business, through the discus
sion and complaints which the play
caused, it was finally closed by the
police authorities.
Our Betters," which is running in
New York at the present time, from
a moral standpoint, is far worse than
The Lure" but to date there has
been no attempt to close the attraction.
The reason probably lies in the fact
that it is advertised as the "smartest
play in the smartest theater" in town
In this play a word never before
used on the American stage is planted
distinctly, and as if this were not suf-
ficient the character who speaks it
also repeats it.
There is no doubt as to the smart
ness of the Offering, and it affords
situations OF the highest dramatic val
ues Its cast and scenic investiture is
most excellent, but the stage will never
thrive on such nourishment.
