" AOOBAy ASAN
The introduction in the second act
OF every unhappy couple that Loo
had gathered in his household for the
Midsummer's Eve. n after the other
might inevitably have become me-
chanical. But why should he play
have been diverted from the beginning
OF the second act wholly to the eN-
hibition of the painter happy in the
possession OF the dream child denied
TO him in life? This long passage
between the man and the imaginary
daughter would have been much more
enjoyable, certainly to those who were
least emphatic in their expression or
delight over it's poetic character, had
il been curtailed. 1t would have been
more artistic. The poignantly tragic
note that revealed the illusion of the
child seemed in a way 10 misdirect Its
message. why should the girl cry
out in her grief and d~esolatlon? h
was an innocent make believe VINO
could not rightly have been brought
into the play TO suffer. Bat It may
be that her sorrow at losing her
father in the forest was also make
believe. Then the physical Symbol
: should not have been made so touch
ing as the darkness e~Xtinguished the
sight of the wood and the lie of a
little child crying in the darkness for
all that she loved most. The artist
had casually passed from the scene.
GiIbertlan in its suggestion Is the
devotion OF the married philanderer
who IL so much more attentive and
generous TO his wife when he is in
love with another that he
showers on her kindnesses and gifts
such az she received at any
other time. But its truth!ulness has
also been observed in life. Indeed the
mood OF the first scenes OF Dear
Brutus." and some of the earlier pas
sages OF the episode in the wood are
those that pleased most certain spec
tators who were unable to lose them
seles i'm alteration of tho imaginary
daughter and her father. But II may
be that the fullest enjoyment Of this
long scene Is denied to all but a parent.
That would at least lac n more con
sollng explanation than a complete
lack Of poetic comprehension OF a
scene so widely praised.

tragedies OF Shakespeare nowadays.
In addition to the learning
ing all phases Of the American the
atre, as we'll as the subjects of in
tense biographical interest that Will
lam Winter has put into his already
famous life Of David Belasco. there are
also matters Of more timely interest
which might almost be classified as
news, which Is always dearest TO the
newspaper recorder. Mr.. Winter in
evitably finds It necessary to combat
the Did charge that Mr.. Belasco has
feared in recent years to give the
works Of Shakespeare, which would
furnish a final estimate of his powers
as a producer. Mr.. Winter incontesta-
bly, proves hat there is 10 other man
in the theatres Of this country to-day
so qualified by his talents and his ex-
p~erience to give well the plays of the
F~lizabethan rs Mr.. Belasco, Then
there comes into consideration the
Sbylock OF David Warfeld, which has
hecn in the air almost as long as the
'abled Hamlet OF william Gillette and
the mythical Juliet 81 Mauie Adars
to the Romeo OF Sarah Bernhard
These two latter Representations are
among the enduring monuments to the
invontiveness. industry and sincerity
OF the native agent OF publicity.
Mr.. Winters explanation Of the
failure OF David Belasco 10 produce a
play OF Shakespeare before was the
necessity OF his so establishing his
position in the theatre that he might
make such an attempt and have sufi-
cient authority to enforce the atten-
ton Mr.. Belasco deserves. Concern

Mr.. Belasco explains Interestingly and
c~onvincingly.

n TOT all the Barrie adjectives were unleashed on Tuesday, although
N some of the most familiar appeared; others that might reason

play by J. NJ. Barrie provokes? Of course these the mere sandhogs

much time. They may come yet, as deliberate appreciation still has to

AS a matter of fact, the most entertaining parts of Dear Brutus"
come at the rise of the curtain. Even at the risk of seeing only the
yellow primrose by the rivers brim, it is permissible to call attention to
the light and agreeable comedy of the opening scene. The entrance Of
the women guests of Lob. their device to trap the light fingered butler,
the wonder at their presence in the house--these scenes down through
the dialogue between Death and his wife-he is the drunken painter
are charmingly natural in conception and brightly humorous in every
word until the serious note enters with the artist. The attention which
the audience at the Empire Theatre revealed on Monday night showed
plainly that there was a determination to be entertained by a play from
the pen Of such a writer as Sir James Barrie. The audience was resolved
to like the work to the uttermot, if it could. 1t is said that this purpose
was accomplished, although there was NJ uncommonly enthusiastic ap-
plause to indicate such emotions. But they may after all have been
