HOMELESS
CHILDREN

70
In the light of the great question
being agitated at the present, that of
conservation, we desire to call atten-
tiOn to the most valuable asset of the
State or Nation, that of citizenship.
Every child born into the world has a
right to demand of the State or Ma
tiOn a square deal and an opportuni-
ty to acquire proper conception of
life. No place is so adequate and
conducive to such results as home
life, and may say that of farm life.
1t has long been a recognized fact
that the open field and country is the
source of our stalwart citizenship.
Hence the effort on the part of the
Tennessee Children's Home Society to
place children. more especially the
boys. in we'll regulated country homes.
If you are farmer, could you do
better thing than take little home
less boy and give him the proper
training, and acquaint him with the
farm industry, and vita this give
him an education, and at the same
time brighten, and make your home
more cheerful? This Society has in
its Receiving Home between thirty
and forty children. most of whom are
boys, ranging in age from tiny in
fants up to seven years. These ara
exceedingly bright and we'll favored
with plenty of energy to
make fine men. We consider that no
greater work than this can be done
toward the conservation of the great
est asset Of our State or Nation, that
of citizenship. If you would like one
to take one Of these little ones in
your home for a three months trial
period. write B. q. Regen. at3. 9Th

"Our architects are gradually learn

Torrance of Ghosts by the Washing
ton Square Players, to note the ex-
treme superfciality of his interpreta-
ton of the significance of this play, as
if it was supremely an Interpretation
of the horrors of heredity. This en-
ables him to indulge in the cheap wit
of pointing out the impossibility Of re-
forming an ancestor once he has died.
Every intelligent critic i have ever
read recognizes what seems to me the
most wildly evident purpose Of
Ghosts namely, to exhibit the utter
rottenness of the social convention
which would condemn a woman like
Helen to live as the wife of such a
debauchee as was the elder Alving-
certainly a timely picture for the con-
temptation of the modern man."
Of course, we made no attempt to
interpret the significance of Ghosts ,"
Ours is not the facility to do that in
forty minutes or half column. Refer
ence was made only to the tragedy
from the point of view of Oswald, who
is blasted for another's sins. We will
retract no further for a reader who
is Surprised" at our shortcomings is
probably not a regular subscriber any
way.
A good many actors are limited to
hands, mouth and eyes for pantomimic
expression, but others go further
Madge Kennedy, for instance, has a
most expressive nose, and uses it elo-
quently for expressing comic grief
Mrs. Fiske is among the best of the
players who can act with their backs.
Laurette Taylor has expressive Shout
ders, particularly for depression. Char
lie Chaplin has a wide range Of emo
tons in his feet, and George Hassell
can do tricks with his scalp. Perhaps
the most remarkable of all is Emily
Stew ,ns, who is the first actress we re-
member who has successfully employed
the tonsils for emotional effect. Most
of her crises in "The Fugitive" were
marked by a spasmodic movement in
the throat and a massaging gesture
of two fingers twisted into the glands
of the neck.

IN WIGS AND WINGS
Ghosts" and Few Reasons for Not Rising to Cheer
Loudly

I looked at a clock tower he asked what
time it was. Seemingly everybody felt
that she was justified in deserving the
brute. Since women have won such
freedom, on the stage, at any rate,
Ibsen can hardly get up an argument
as to whether or not Mrs. Alving should
have left the dissolute Captain. She
would not be obliged to remain with
/ him, even in New York State.
Thus, Pastor Manders speaks for no
class to which the modern theatre
goer pays any attention. He is mere
| ly the conventional silly ass clergy
man so dear to farce and light comedy.
/ He would seem narrow and impossi-
bic even TO Billy Sunday. To say, as
Shaw says, that Ghosts" is the story
of "a model wife and mother" is non
sense, for Mrs. Alving expressly states
that her husband was "a fallen man."
and that she married him for his
money. Ibsen tells US in Ghosts" that
mercenary marriage in which the
husband is a confirmed profigate is
pretty sure to be disastrous all around
for wife, for husband and for child,
and the commonplace world is very
likely to say, Everybody knows that.
Whist of it?"
II is possible that the very success
of the propaganda of "Ghosts" has
made the message of the play trite and
unimportant. That is beyond the re-
search with which we are engaged. Be-
sides, we have always felt the justice
of the complaint that the works of
Shakespeare are full of familiar quo
tations.
Ibsen can be parochial at times, and
certainly the assumption allowed to
Oswald that only unmarried couples
maintain morality is provokingly mar
row-minded. Greenwich Village itself
could be no more pruGish.

Facts About the Famous

Eugene Walter, author of "The
Knife" the highly successful melo-
drama at the Bijou Theatre, frequent
ly makes an original bid without an
outside trick.
Two clumps of buildings almost
across from each other on West
Forty-eighth Street have been lev
elled, and before the new season is
far under way there will be theatre
on each of them. Just west of the
Cort will be the Stuyvesant, which is
more or less definitely scheduled to
be opened with Robert Blossoms long
on-the-horizon drama, "His Brothers
Keeper" And a hundred feet east Of
the Playhouse they are building the
Norworth, which will house the inim-
liable Jack himself and his "Odds and
Ends of 1917"
1t Is the newest theatrical fashion
to eliminate practically all of the risk
commonly attendant upon the produc-
ton of piece by selling ones wares
in advance. According to reliable in
formation, this has been done in the
case of the Hitchcock revue, which
will be the summer attraction at the
Conan and Harris. The agencies have
been persuaded to buy out huge Sec
ton of the lower floor for a period of
ten weeks, and the production will be
made possible to a large degree by the
money thus paid in advance. Thus
doth Art make both ends meet-aye,
overlap.

Mack's "Tiger Rose" In Wilmington

There are exceptional Negroes who
will make good almost any where but
it Is to he remembered that VIC are
dealing with the onc-tcnth Of the
population of the United States which
for many generations to come will in
some respects be inferior to the white
race.
Those who are constantly preach
'ng equality of every sort to tho Ne
gro race are not the real friends Of
the Negro. While the Negro should
have equality Of opportunity. it by no
means follows that he is born with
the same cndowmcnts or capabilitics
as the white man, and he is sure To
suffer when he comes into cOmpcti-
tion with the white man in the city.
IN" widest CuCSScS imaginable have

nsistcncc and with probably equal
authority both that the Negro would
ultimately dominate the United Stat
Z" because Oh the large blrth rate
among Negroes. and that the Negro
+ .cc may be practically eliminated.
AS matter Of fact while during the
past pfty years the total population
of the country has increased four-fold
the Negro population has Increased
two and two-thirds fold
But ii must not he forgotten that
whereas the increase Of white popula-
ION !,
able influx OF foreigners, the ;ncrcasc
OF Negroes depended almost entirely
upon native stock, 1t should he noted
that the increase Of the Negro is only
little below that of older civilized
natiOnS--England's bncr1aSc being but
IL per cent in the last decade. This
is just about the ratio of increase for
the Negroes in the United States.
