(All look intently at the hand of the
tailor. There is a long silence, in
which many sly glances are cast from
one to another to ascertain if it is
possible that somebody else sees this
thing which is invisible to him. The
King looks slowly to the right and
slowly to the left to scan the faces of
his subjects, and then he gazes straight
at the Tailor in high perplexity. OF a
sudden the Leading Republican pulls
himself together and speaks in an as
sured and certain tone.)
The Leading Republican-It is a
magnificent robe. 1t is a robe for a

Think of that. You mustn't tap in

stick. You mustn't fear to bump your
head. If you hold it high, you know,
there'd be nothing to fear but the stars.
The King-You are eloquent, oh
stranger from far country, and what
do you mean?
The Tailor-Only this: if you wear
my robe you must cast off compromise
and expediency.
The King-Oh, that's all right. I
was only thinking about trousers.
The Tailor-They were a compromise
of Adams, your majesty.
The King-Quite true, but hope you
wouldn't go SO far as to object to es-

and very thin. Practically nothing at

must put aside every other garment.
The King-But this is December.
The Tailor-Your majesty, the man
who wears this cloth will never fear

me that the only question is, Does his
majesty trust the people fully and

The King-Of course l trust the peo-

All-Goodby, Mr.. Tailor!


The Tailor moves to great window
at the back of the stage and opens it.
He leans out. He bows low to some
one who is passing by underneath.
The rattle of wagons may be heard dis
tlnctly, and the rumble of cars, with
occasionally the honk of an automo-
bile horn. Suddenly there is a noise
much louder and shriller than any Of
these. 1t is the voice of child, and it
cries: "He hasn't got anything on!"
Voice after voice takes up the shout.
Seemingly thousands of people are
shouting, "He hasn't got anything on!"
Finally the shouting loses all conference;
it is just great, ugly, angry noise. A
shot breaks the glass of the window
just above the Tailor's head. Quickly he
protects himself from further attack
in that direction by swinging two iron
shutters together and fastening them.
Then he locks the great door through
which the King and the Courtiers have
just passed.

Largely through the efforts Of Nine.
ALA Nazimova, Mrs. Fiske and Mary
Shaw there is no such thing any more
as an Ibsenless season.
The American playgoer, having come
to understand that he must be tolerant
of the substitution Of cerebral activ-
ity for muscular, has begun to
lose his former avid taste for drama
that is fiabby and famboyant. In the
last decade many have even come to
prefer ideas to bullets, psychology to
cold steel between the ribs and q
glimpse of life to sentimentalized
motivatic
1t is sad than amusing to re-
call how sen was received in Eng
land twenty years or so ago. When
this master playwright had his first
hearings in London people cried out
that he was not only dangerous but
quite, quite mad as we'll, and demanded
to know what would become of the
ONE If women should see "A Dolls
House" and behave like Nora. Fearful
Britishers heard in their fevered
imaginations the sound of slammine
doors and the walls of deserted chill
dren. Nor did they stop at fear. A

rolled over the island and continued d

heresies were equally potent to har-
row the peace of mind of his country
men, sprang as at battle call to an

fought them as one man in the COL
umns of "The Saturday Evening Re-
view," of which paper he was the brill

And despite Shaw's unceasing defence,
lbsen came in time to be tolerated.
The appellation Iconoclast" was heard
more and moro seldom.
Eight years ago when Mr.. Charring-
ten with "A Dolls House struck the
decisive blow for Ibsen-perhaps the
only one that has really got home in
England as yeti rejoiced in it and
watched the ruin and havoc it made
among the idols and temples of the
idealists," wrote Mr.. Shaw, who loves
his country best when he is chiding
her most severely.
"The flattering notion, still current
in the profession, that anybody can
clay Ibsen is hardly bearing the test
of experience" he adds.
Perhaps that is what woman. clear

ing during the run of 1.-THE Wild Duck
at the Plymouth. While entering the
elevator of an apartment house after
an evening spent in seeing "The Wild
Duck" and wondering what the fuss
was all about, she said to her COM
panion, "Oh, what rotten play! If
had been playing Nazzymover's part
would have put the duck on the table
in a big glass bowl Of water with a
lot of little ducks. That would have
made hit with the audience, and they
could have. watched them swimming
around while the actors were talking"
Nazimova, about to finish her Ibsen
season at the Plymouth, played roles
OF quite different type when she first
took her place on the English speaking
stage. Her women wore sinking
gowns with high collars and long
sleeves. The cloth followed faithfully
eacn line of the figure and coiled
sbout the feet at every turn. Their
races were white with intensity; their
eyes burned with unquenchable de-
ssres; their mouths were blood red.

Then he returns to the bag and seems
to pull out something. He looks to
the ceiling and finds hook fairly in
the middle of it. He moves his hand
upward as if tossing something, and
goes through the motions of tying a
knot around his neck. Then the Tailor
takes a chair and moves it to the CEN
tire of the room. He stands upon it.
The violent assault upon the door be-
gins with renewed vigor. Some of the
axes bite through the wood. The Tailor
steps off the chair and bangles in the
air. He floats in space, like man in
magic trick, but one or two in the
audience, dramatic critics, perhaps, or
scullery maids, may see that round his
neck and fastened to the hook in the
ceiling is yellow rope.)
