rTNHE two new dramatic offerings of
l. the week. "'rhc MasQuerader" and
Tiger Rose" are, In their different
ways. notable examples of the pOssibili-
ties of the tricks Of the stage. Since
both have been temporarily gheiVed by
the closing order. extended retrospective
comment upon them here seems super
fuous. But it may be said, briefly, that
the only real merit Of Tiger Rose" lies
in the BelasCo staging and the acting,
while "The Masquerader" has these
things at least in equally great degree
and, in addition is conspicuously better
as IA play Tiger Rose" isn't even a
good melodrama for the last act goes
to pieces without the veStige of an
effective climax. But THE Masquerader'
has a capital plot. in which the suspense
Is built up with rare skin, and the acting
of Guy Bates Post i'm difficult dual
role. neCessitatinE q number OF changes
and employing many Of the most adroit
tricks of the stage, is supcratively fine,
The piece is essentially theatrical. but
while the curtain Is up l. seems entirely
plausible. thanks to the artistic restraint
OF the star in role that temptS TO
overplaying. and the admirable work of
his associate players. It IL sincerely to
be hoped that "The Masduerader" will
again be presented when the order clos
ing the theatre Is rcscinded.

NNTE people of the theatre are ac-
J. customed to the unexpected Par
ticularly in the case of travelling com
panies are the executive forces compelled
to meet sudden emergencies. Those in
charge are only asked one question by
their home office. Did you give the
performance? No matter how difficult
the task the reply must be i'm the af-
firmative. SO this present emergency
finds them planning hastily for changes

VNHE present unprecedented suspcn-
l. sion Of theatrical affairs in Philadel-
phia affords an opportunity for n more
general survey of the theatre. AS with
the world outside, the theatre for the
last few years has been I'm a state of
fiuX. There has been "A passing of the
elder generation, and the coming Of the
new' one. The motion picture has taken
its place as one of the great functions
In entertainment. popular prize vaude-
Vile has gained great public, and
where there were some years ago a few
theatres. today there are scores.
Theatre-going is habit. Expert
enced theatrical men state that their
audiences change practically in three
years and entirely In flve. There were
many thousands Of people in towns and
cities who never went into a theatre But
the moving pictures have changed all
that. As children the boys and girls get
Il nickel to go TO the movies They be-
come accustomed to theatrical enter
tainment. As they grow up their desire
for the theatre of the spoken word is
developed and they become regular at
tendants. Throughout the country there
has been a general Improvement in the
regular theatre. This has been particu-
larly true IN the one-night stands and
smaller cities. But the theatrical man
ayers have found that they have a more
discriminating public to deal with.
