49,, HOSE who liked Drift
wood liked it so very
much. indeed, that it would
be a most ungrateful task
to seek for suggestions
which might contradict buoyantly
approving humor. Buoyantly approving
humors are not found with sufficient
frequency to warrant anything but the
most tender care in nursing them
along. Habits of thought are likely to
establish themselves in the contemp1a-
tion of the theater. "Driftwood' is
novelty. This fact surely commends 1t.
Some novelties are better than others
The exact degree of merit involved
must he left for popular patronage to
indicate.
One point "priftwood" demonstrated
beyond question and that is the Won
derful self-reliant vivacity OF an
actress quite new to the local theater.
Fay BANTER is earnestly human in her
characterization of the courageous
child whose valiant defiance of fate
enables her to become engaged to
cultured man of wealth at their third
meeting. The pace of the current
drama is rapid. The old love at first
sight idea was slow business COM
pared to the mingled realism and
frankly admits the influence of the
photodrama. Miss BANTER is entitled
TO many compliments on various
phases of her work. She does not need
them. for. like the little heroine of
the simple "Driftwood" story. she is
obviously competent to impress her de-
serving qualities through her own tire
less and versatile energies.

Like other Institutions. the theater is
having it's troubles. The tax on tickets
contemplated as a revenue measure has
prompted many hours of dialogue not
intended to elicit laughter or applause.
Managers of legitimate entertainment
fail to see why they should be called
upon to bear so heavy burden as Is
proposed while the moving pictures are
given advantage on the theory that
they are the poor mans necessity. The
system of stamps has been proposed
to meet the work Of collecting the tax.
and the process of going to see play
may involve as many formalities as
those imposed by the revenue collector
on far less innocent luxuries.
