to the vast auditorium with his artis-
tic creations kept in their place by an
orchestra Of one hundred and as many
singers. Otherwise he will take the
floor to the exclusion Of all else in
the drama whether It be the men and
women. the story or the acting. When
he paints his own curtain, he Is even
there between the acts. Yet there are
courageous managers who glory in the
luxury of production" by Urban.
Outside Of the operatic field these
artistic undertakings have prospered
only in the service of the decorative
Mr.. Ziegfeld. There the painter keeps
within the realm of fantasy. No ele-
ment Of probability interferes with
the fullest revelation of his powers.
The results hre usually charming.
There is rarely cause for quarrelling
with Urban OF the Follies or Urban of
the Metropolitan. But even the Ur-
ban Of operetta is incomprehensible at
times. There is one notably irritating
example OF his work or view just now.
IL is altogether in the realm of oper-
etta and the painter need not have
realism.
But he paints a drawing room of
Fifth avenue house In cobalt blue and
dull gray. The combination is incon-
ceivably depressing and destructive of
all sense Of lightness and gayety. Over
the doors are lunettes of still life which
are the single grateful spots for the
eye to rest on. Painted on the walls
are two tapestries in low tone of
color, reddish yellow predominating
in one. This combination of tones was
difficult enough. But there was stin
worse to come.
Mr.. Urban seems to resent vacant
spaces. He detests them. In his view
wherever they happen to be. So on
the walls. in addition to the lunettes
and the tapestries. he has painted me-
dallions In relief ornamented with
flowing ribbons. A more depressing
scene for the gayeties of operetta II
would not be easy to design. But in
this case there is no real harm done.
The fate OF "A Young Mans Fancy"
however, was different. II WAS

bers previous experiments OF the kind
will not forget the sacrifice of all dra-
matic values which inevitably follows

claim at once the attention OF the pub
iic. The spectators aware Of certain
facts watch the latest man in the
keenest expectation Of seeing the way
in which he receives the news. 1t is a
psychological interest based on thor
oughly human motives. How will he
take It? What will he do? It hap
pens in most cases that the knowledge
he is destined to acquire is of vital i'm
portance to him. So the concern of
the observers is easy enough to under
stand.

When Mr.. Urban made her scenes for
Twelfth Night" they were SO ar
ranged that she was kept down near
the front of the stage, with the deco
rations towering above her. The re-
suit was an exaggeration Of her size
until she seemed to be a strutting
giantess. When THE Garden of Par

then a slender woman. the very depths
of the stage of the Park Theatre were
plumbed that the uttermost amount OF

There are other social conventions

theatre has been for many years based
on the tacit agreement that the family
and not the individual is the social
unit In this country and to only a
slight extent in England, 1t is the in
dividual and not the family that de-
cides' If ono may believe the word

OF the changing times that the indi-

own Initiative. He is frankly willing
TO take all the consequences that may
follow. So the task Of the playwright
In appearing at once plausible and
contemporaneous Is not simple. But II
Is dollars TO doughnuts that he win
