Frohman brothers were literally installed
for the first time under the same managerial
roof. From this hour on the affairs of
Charles were bound up in large theatrical
conduct.
"The little Madison Square Theatre, To-
Gated back of the old Fifth Avenue Hotel, in
Twenty-fourth Street, near Broadway, was
established at a time when a new force
seemed to be needed for the New York
stage. This playhouse, destined to figure so
prominently in the fortunes of all the Froh-
mans, and especially Charles, grew out of
the somewhat radical convictions of Steele
Mackaye, one of the most brilliant charac-
tiers Of his time
steele Mackaye was the first director and
launched its career. "A wholesome place for
wholesome amusement became the slogan.
Contracts for plays were made only with
American authors. Here were produced the
earlier triumphs of Steele MacKaye, Bronson
Howard William Gillette. H. II. Boyesen
and Mrs. Burnett. In this house, in MAY
Blossom, De Wolf Hopper first appeared in
stock company. Among the actors seen on
its boards during the Frohman regime were
Agnes Booth, Viola Allen, Efie Ellsler
Georgia Cayvan, Mrs. Wh1ren, Marie Bur
roughs, Annie Russell, George Clarke. JET
freys Lewis, c. w Couldock, Thomas
Whiffen, Dominick Murray and Eben
Plympton. Rose Coghlan also was mem
Der of the company. but had no opportunity
Of playing.
"The name Of Frohman was associated
with this theatre from the very start, be-
cause its first manager, appointed by Steele
MacKaye, was Daniel Frohman. 1t opened
February 4. 1880. with Steele MacKayes

Not content with all this, he also attained
high rank as an ACTOR in his own plays
and in the plays OF Others In America.
in New DIRK and on tour, he enacted the
parts of Othclo, Hamlet, Cassius. Antonio
tMerchant of Nenice), Monaldi Gin the
play of "Monaldi,' by himsclf), Peter
Hayes (from the play "Arkwright's Wife,"
by Tom Taylor and himself), and leading
or prominent parts in such other plays by
him as "Won at Last" "Hazel Kirke," "a
Fools Errand,' paul Kauvar," "Money
Mad" and others.
Acting however, though he devoted years
to it, was never primarily his profession
The part of Hamlet nevertheless he did
impersorate for its own sake He first
acted the part as lad of twenty, at Balti-
more in 1862, when in camp with the 7th
Regiment of New York in the Civil War.
When he played the part in London in
1878, to the Ophela Of Miss Marion Terry.

american Prace Ideas
Unknown to French Opinion

Il is impossible TO make an anti
imporialistic declaration any clearer,
more spontaneous end more closely con-
forming to what We know to be the
American idcal-an ideal, moreover,
which | share. But these accusations Of
imperialism are directed not only against
me, but against the French leaders.
Many indications Of the same character
prove that a campaign aiming to play
the German game by making Franco
American relations difficult is going on
on both sides Of the Atlantic
This campaign is rendered possible
because French opinion knows almost
nothing Of dominant American ideas Of
peace. The conditions under which the
American general elections on Novcm-
Der took place and the significance at
taching thereto are still unknown to
the mass OF the French people. SINH
Jarly at the present moment the com

and the speeches in the Senate at Wash

cure free publicity in the French press.

et The relief is only temporary.
To say "ratify the treaty" demands a GER
tain quality of boldness. There are many, who
from the highest sense of principle, oppose the
treaty, where it concerns the league. 1t is not
to be ratified blindly But certain it is that the
present condition Of political suspension is pro-
ducing economic suspension If the treaty is not
ratified we do not know the nature of our rela-
tions with any country on the globe We know
nothing about the reestablishment of trade balan-
ces. We know very little about the probable dis
position of raw materials. The ambiguity of our
relations with Russia alone is, no doubt largely
cereals, for that matter.
1t is certain that the conflicting parties in
this country can get together. European pow
ers did so, and their interests are by no means as
uniform as we think. But they have had enough
experience with treaties to be less afraid of them
than we are. They are subject to- construction
They are flexible There is a great difference
between regarding them as scraps of paper and
being bound hand and foot by the letter of each
clause Conditions will continue to arise in the
future which were not contemplated by the terms
of an agreement drawn at a time when they could
not have been forseen There is no solidity in
the buncombe which bleats that we shall be called
upon at any moment to send armies to fight the
Quarrels of various groups of foreign powers.
It is obvious that they, at least do not consider
themselves under similar obligation in our ia
VOr.
A few trifling changes of verbiage perhaps
and the thing can be done.

EDITORIALS;
HERE'S WHY

The United States government is in the ship
ping business-the mercantile branch. 1t owns
more tonnage, among merchant vessels than any
private shipping company in this country-or, ac-
cording to certain estimates, in any country on
the globe And an official to control the shipping
department has just been appointed.
A person endowed-or cursed-with the very
human quality Of curiosity went as sef-appoint-
ed committee of one to find out from people who
are recognized as authorities in the shipping
world just who, or rather, what, the new appoint
ee was What was his career-and how had it
eliminated in this appointment? What, in a
word, was his experience
The shipping experts didn't know They
knew, personally or by reputation, every one who
had demonstrated an extensive experience in
shipping-but this person was not one of them
what he was, or had been, they had not learned.
They had an idea that he was lawyer.
Dear friends when taxation piles up and up,
do not indulge in recriminatiOn. Ii any Intrl-
cate business is run at loss by the government
and the deficit has to be made up annually by
staggering burden of taxation, remember that
we are doing things according to communlstlc
program. If the stockholders of private ship
ping company entrust the management Of its af-
fairs to men who don't know crosshead from
propeller blade the company will go bankrupt
and there will be no taX-appropriations to salts
fly creditors. So the stockholders of a private
shipping company entrust the management to ex-
perts, and demand efficiency. But the nation
considers it democratic to run everything at
loss-and entrusts the management to lawyers.
Just why mismanagement and efficient
bungling should be the pride, rather than the
shame of representative government, whenever
it participates in industrial activities, is an un-
read riddle in most countries where that form of
government prevails And as democratic gov
ernment is the best form of government, it is
the duty of all elected legislative bodies to wipe
out the stigma.
