Dear Sir:
In your issue of February ~ you Of
fer Senator Gronna your paper "free
gratis for nothing" for year if he
will tell you how to mature muskmel-
ons in North Dakota.
We raise muskmelons in our garden.
They very seldom mature, but that is
the least of our troubles. They make
very fine pickles much finer than
watermelon pickles, and we enjoy
them as much as if they did ripen.
If this information is worth as
much to you as that which you desire
from Senator Gronna, you may credit
me with one years subscription which
I already owe.
Yours truly,
j. H. B.
N. B.: If 81. H. B." will send us his
complete name, we will be pleased to
send receipt for one years subscrip-
ton to our moral illumination"

Ben z. Lyons Tells Of Scarcity Of To-
baccO in England.


Ben z. Lyons, well known Mino.
tailor. who enlisted in Co. D, return
ed Saturday from France where he
spent nearly two years. Mr.. Lyons
will re-engage in the tailoring bust
ness at an early date. Mr.. Lyons was
up within 40 miles of the trenches
when the armistice was signed. He
was in the 43rd division and says that
hundreds of the soldiers signed petit
tions asking for the privilege of being
unleashed against the Huns. He
speaks highly of the treatment that
the soldiers received in France and
says that they appreciate the fact
that they were backed up so well by
the folks at home. When Co. d reach
ed England, Mr.. Lyons says the Co.
D boys simply could not get any to-
bacco to speak Of. When one fellow
was smoking cigarette, there were
75 others who looked on, longing for
a drag at the pill" Capt. Gross bot

New-York tribune., 1919-01-26

It seemed to us that several review
crs missed the point of "The Marquis
dc Priola," which Leo Ditrichstein pro-
duccd at the Liberty Theatre last week.
At least one read moral lesson into
the play and spoke Of the hero's ulti-
mate defeat being not only physical
reverse, but also a defeat "of what
ever he possesses Of mind and heart"
Now, we think that any such view is
quite foreign to the intention of the
author The point of the play, as we
observed it, lay in the fact that Priola
was unbroken to the end. Even though
nature took terrible revenge upon
him for his exccsses, he went down
sneering and unbroken. Both the au-
thor and the actor played the character
as hero to the very last, as man who,
though possessed Of all the vices, yet
made them virtues by the tenacity and
strength with which he clung to their
pursuit.
We think that such study is not
profound. Characters are not all of
piece. Sublime villany seems to us
as far from life study as sublime
virtue. Yet there is no denying the
fact that the character is a vigorous
and interesting portrait in the hands

OF course. the feeling Of reSponsi-
bllity wears of after while. but
sometimes it take weeks before we can
forget. Some Of the RESPONSIBILITIES
which ocmc speeding in on the rapid
wings OF the Burleson mail service are
even more wcighty. There is one this
afternoon from gentleman who says
that somebody is going to open Ger
, man theatre some place in this town
carly in March. He wants to know
what we arc going to do about it. We
had heard the rumor. but VIC had no
idea that II was going 10 be up to us
TO- do anything. We were under the
kind would come before the peace con-
ference sooner ,or later 1t makes us
nervous to have the whole thing put

most subversive sentiments possible
and they VIII shoot right past us. OF

Back in college we found that even
elementary German verbs were shade
too insidious for us
1t is humliating to sidestep a plain
call to duty. but we are going to do
Just that. We purpose to allow the
German players 10 hew to the line and
let the umlauts fall where they will
The next task assigned to us this
called in collaborator and managed
to reach decision. The Office of Will
lam Harris. jr., seems bent on knowing
whether or not we think Fay Banter
ought to be star. Other press men
have already given eloquent opinions
on this point, but still we have been
prodded for an answer, Now we have
no desire to stand in the way of any
young lady's career and so we went out
and asked theatrical expert just what
it would mean to Miss Banter to be a
star. He explained that if she were
starred her name would appear above
the play, not only in the electric lights
but in the daily advertising. He said
further that she would receive larger
salary and might even share in the
profits. More than that, a small silver
plated star would be placed on the door
Of her dressing room. IF the show
went on the road it would be the duty
of the press agent to obtain a drawing
room on the train for her and accom-
modations in the leading hotel of the
town visited. He would also be respon-
sible for procuring taxicab to take his
star from the depot to the hotel
In the light of this information the
answer seems easy. Of course, Miss
BANTER should be star.
The last disturbing query of the
week was in the nature Of confiden-
tisl communication. A soldier back
from the wars wrote to say that on
Sunday he had the chance Of seeing
either "Cappy Ricks" or EAST Is West"
He said he would leave it to US, but we
hold that this particular answer is
privileged.

"Guibour," the fourteenth century
French miracle play, which is now be-
ing performed at the Neighborhood
Playhouse by Yvette Guilbert is doubly
interesting. At times, it holds the in
terest only as dramatic curiosity, a
museum piece, but then again it pre-
sents situations which are so funda-
mentally dramatic that its age drops off
and it seems as thrilling as modern
mclodrama. Yvette Gulbert gives II
capital performance. We did not find
that she was cramped in any manner
by using English. She was able to
bring a fine, strong sweep to her
emotional scenes and was eminently
happy il the broadly humorous touches
in which the play abounds.
One Of the striking features of the
performance is the singing of Richards
Hale. a young barytonc, who is cast
as tho Voice of God. Mr. Hale brings
To still, small voice to the interprct ia
ton. His is large voice of fine
quality, particularly in the upper reg
ster Robert Jones has provided the
little play with one of the most strik-
ing settings of the season.
New-York tribune., 1919-01-26

One writer extends an invitation to
us which we cannot accept. In connec-
ton with an exchange of letters which
we had about East Is West" D. W.
writes: II would like to know f
critic does not patronize the public him
self when he says, It's bad play, but
1T will probably make great deal of
money. You recognize the formula. 1t
occurs frequently every season-every
time, in fact, that critic senses on an
opening night that a play has popular
qualities that will bring long run,
even if he doesn't like the play him
self"
This seems to us perfectly Just
complaint against the newspaper critics
We have used the phrase ourselves, or
something like it, on occasions, and we
had no right to do So II is the worst
kind Of snobbery to express the belief
that the public is going to accept
eagerly something which you feel con
vinced is very bad. OF course. upon oc-
casion the public does, but such occa-
sions are periods rather for prayer and
pining than for recrimination.
d. W. eventually comes to ask the
impossible. "Now, don't think any
more than you do" he writes, that
q long run makes great play, but
why not admit that what is not a
great play is sometimes a good show
and tell the qualities in it, as jour
naistic duty, that make it good
show instead of handing the public a
backhanded slap"
The suggestion is we'll enough. but
the task is much too difficult. We do
not know just what peculiar mixture
Of elements makes good show Fcw
do. All our most successful managers
have devoted their lives to the study
Of just this problem. The best of them
arc correct in about so per cent of
their guesses. After all, this is too
inexact g. science to have any place in
a newspaper report. When man tells
what he himself thinks about q play
he may be recording something of no
consequence to anybody but himself,
but at least he is truly fulfilling the
function of Journalist because he is
recording facts.
