IRENE"

Just two years ago Irene was wed
And George (she Gale HIM was gent
ly led
By her tender hands, and her kindly
light,
That made a home so cheerful and
bright,
She was taken away from this bright
little home
To live with God in his wonderful
throne!
Out of this world of sorrow and fret,
Oh God-Irene-we can never forget
Irene.
Greatest sympathy showers this home
From the many friends that now
mourn
The loss of one so sublime, so serene,
Oh, God! We can never forget Irene.
Her life was full Of love and care
For these she loved and those so dear,
But now that it is lost, we must not
regret,
Oh, God-Irene-we can never forget.
Susan.

RUSSIA INTRODUCING
DEMOCRACY INTO THEATRES

/ PETROGRAD, August 16-Russia' 5
universal characterization is embrac-
ing the former imperial, now state
| theatres, which heretofore have been
governed automatically by a general
director, who was a nominee of the
emperor, and was subject to the new
abolished ministry of the court The
last general director was NJ. Teliakow-
sky, who rendered considerable ar
tistic services to the stage, but pro.
yoked complaints by his despotism
and by the extravaganza with which
he expended the $1,50O,OO0 state sub,
sidy.
Feidor Goloyin liquidating commits
sary of the ministry of the court, has
issued an order establishing the future
direction of the state theatres on a
democratic basis. The theatres are
made self-governing. The basis prin-
ciple is majority rule in artistic, eco
nomic and social affairs by councils
elected by the artists, musicians, en-
ployees and workmen.
The Office of general director OF
state theatres is abolished, the director
being replaced by a plenipotentiary
commissary of the provisional govern
ment, under whom, in each theatre
will be a director elected by the err
ployees. Every theatre troupe will
elect it's own artistic repertoir COM
mittee, which will decide what is tc
be staged and how it is to be staged
and will distribute roles.
The existing theatre literary com
mittees will be reformed and will con
stitute part of the artistic repertoir
committees. Each literary committee
will consist Of three persons who have
accomplished something notable in lit
erature, dramatic or critical work.
The literary committees will be oblig-
ell to read and present a written re-
/ port on every play or opera submit
ted This will reform the existing
abuse under which many promising
plays go unread because the author
/ his no influence.
These reforms mean complete thea
tire autonomy The reformed theatre
will be run by it's staff. The French
Michailoff Theatre Of Petrograd which
exists mainly for the recreation of di-
plomats, is excluded from the reform

French a special law must be drafted
for its government. There is a strong
democratic agitation in favor of abol
fishing the French theatre as costly
and unnecessary.
Not only the government stage is
being reformed AS result of the

private theatres have promised to per-
form periodically without pay, or for
nominal remuneration. For the pres
ent the Free theatre will be without
its own building, and performances
will be held in succession in different
factory buildings and warehouses.
