at is a large factor in the aesthetic
pleasure to translate the play before
us into our own experience; it is a
solace, too, especially in these trying
times, to be reminded that other men
and women in other ages have had to
face the same decisions and endure
much the same hardships as we to-day.
The theatrical managers do not gen
erallze overmuch in aesthetic theory,
to be sure, but they are nevertheless
sensing this particular opportunity
which the war has offered and are
cropping to lay hold on it. There is
talk, for example, of a play about
Welllngton--a play on some phase of
the French Revolution. Our own
Percy MacKaye projects piece about
George Washington. At the tail end
of the London season courageous
manager tentatively offered an Eng
lish version of Rovetta's 'Romantis-
simo,' which earlier had had a few
special matinees in London in Italian.
10 the surprise even of the critics, who
spontaneously praised it, this fiery bit
from the history of Italy's national
asplrct lions found not, of course, such
popularity as Yes, Uncle!' but at least
gratifying and unexpected audience"
Some day we are going to see farce
IN which a harassed character does
not pause at the door just before his
exit and eXclaim: "You go to hell!"
The season is only few weeks old,
but already we are convinced that the
Committee on Public Information is
correct in saying that spies are every
where.
Some time in May We plan to select
our own particular all-Anlerica acting
team for the season, but just now we
have Sidney Drew md Emmett Corri-
gan slated for the ends.
Speaking Of pace, we think that the
proper tempo for picture acting should
lie somewhere between the eternal
restlessness of Douglas Fairbanks and
the posturing Of old Bill Hart.

Every dramatic critic, no matter how
great his modesty, likes to see quota

TOOK FLING AT BOOSTERS

Merle Sidener, local advertising
man, recently returned from a West
ern trip in which he visited the city
Of Los Angeles. He was impressed
with the boosting of the Los Angeles
citizens and said he learned that an
Oregon colonel from Portland was the
guest of honor at banquet in Los
Angeles. The usual after-dinner
speeches were made, all boosting the
city of Los Angeles, but each speaker
regretted that Los Angeles had not
been founded on the coast. The speak
ers all said that had the city been on
the coast instead of ten miles or so
from It, the city would be the garden
spot of the world. The visiting colo
mel was called on to speak and said:
Gentlemen, 1 am impressed with
your city as much as you are and be-
lieve that l can suggest a way In
which you can accomplish your wish"
All of the citizens present leaned
forward eagerly, for this was no doubt
the solution that had long been watt
ing for. The colonel continued:

SHE WAS GRATEFUL, ANYWAY
And the Young Lady's Error Was
Quite Natural, Under the
Circumstances.

Edward Barrett, state geOlogist, who
ives at Thirty-sixth and Meridian
streets, was on a Meridian Heights
Ear on his way home recently. At
Massachusetts, avenue young couple
got on the car. They appeared to be
,ther. There were only two vacant
seats on the car, one at the side of Mr..
Barrett, and the other on the opposite
side of the car. The young woman sat
1own in one of the vacant seats and
the young man in the other, but too
Tar away to talk to the young woman.
The couple looked at each other with
longing eyes, as If they wished to sit
together. The car was rattlIng along
at a noisy rate, which made it impos-
sible for one person to talk to another
any distance away. Mr.. Barrett mo-
toned with his fingers to the young
man, and pointed to the seat he was
occupying, and also to the seat the
young man was occupying, indicating
q change of seats.
The young man gladly accepted the
proffered change Of seats, and soon
the two were seated together and en-
joying each others talk. The car
stopped at the next crossing and Mr..
Barrett was surprised and amused to
hear the young woman murmur to the
young man, as both looked at Mr.. Bar
rett with thanks in their eyes:
at was so kind of that deaf and
dumb man to give you his seat"
And the car jostled on.-Indiarapo-
