Megrue Insists on
Justice for Husbands

The harm that husbands have suf-
fered from the neglect of playwrights
is .incalculable. On the surface, of
course, there is little open indication
now of purely husbandy Bolshevism,
but there can be no doubt that q con-
tinued policy of neglect will bring the
low murmur coming from husbands
here and there in theatre Hobbies into
resounding revolt against such in
justice. Playwright after playwright
comes from real life to the theatre
only to turn tratorously against the
class he sprang from, and the husband
goes on year after year, merely foil
for the exploited brilliancies, problems,
adventures, sins and careers of wives.
But every dog has his day, and if the
metaphor can be varied for the mo-
ment, the worm is beginning to turn.
The husband is to have his little hour.
A world which has been used to seeing
him sent out into the night that peo-
pie are sent out into in the second act
Will find him on the other side of the
door, standing at r. u. E., with his
hand uplifted, saying nobly: "Go, WON
an, and sin no morei"
1t is by no means strange that tho
revolt should come from q playwright
who has had his full fling at his wife's
side Of the case and has found her TN
grateful. After long season Of "Tea

To-day when a play is cast the char

actors who most closely resemble them

ccssfal piece in which were so MANY
small parts that in some instances
actors not only doubled" but Crippled"
the roles. One man who played three
parts was taken i'll one day and an
other actor was engaged TO replace
him. He had played the three parts
for about a week when the manager
went to him one day and gave him his
two weeks notice of dismissal. "What
is the matter?" inquired the actor.
You are not the type" replied the
manager. "For which part ?" was the
question. 1t is not on record what the
manager said to that.
l have always believed that acting is
not to act but just to believe in what
you are saying. If you do that your
audience will believe it too. And if
they dopt-well, blame the way the

that men and women were asking the

but oh, the word juice had such a very
pleasant sound. They We're thirsty.
Both these crows had belonged to Dick
only a very, very. very short time,
which. of course, was lucky for them.
Dick had found out what they should
eat, but somehow he didn't think of
them as wanting any water. A strange
thought, on his part, but still it was so.
He didn't mean to be cruel, though,
No. he loved his two black crows.

Commanding the native force at Tier:
tsin was Seng-ko-lin-sin, q Mongol gen.
eral, who later distinguished himself
less creditably. In 1860 he sought to
defend Tientsin against a foreign ex-
petition by erecting an immense mud
rampant outside the city. Tientsin
was captured and held for two years
by the British and French and the
crude defense is known in the foreign
quarters as "Seng-ko-lln-sin's folly"
The region about Tientsin a
known as Chi-chou, under the Hsia dyn-
asty, whose rulers, 1000 years ago,
already had court astronomers who
could predict eclipses. Later it was
called Ya-chou, in the Chou dynasty,
marked by the western wars waged by
Mu.Wang against the 'Dog Barbara
ans" thought to be ancestors of the
Huns. Tientsin dates back at least
to the fourteenth century.
Immense Salt Industry.
The salt industry in the nelghbor-
hood of Tientsln is prodigiOus. Wind
mills are used to pump salt water into
the fields along the Halo river, where
the widely-known Chang-lu salt is
made. Before the war nearly 10000
tons were produced annually. But
Tientsin is important commercially in
many respects. 1t is a rice market.
and Siberia's tea formerly was shipped
through here. Exports were as varied
as the needs of the dozen or so nations
which had separate settlements along
five miles of the river front, and its
imports were as diverse as the com
modNies those nations had to FIX
change.
The Peiho and Hunho rivers con-
verge at Tientsin. From the latter to
the Yangtsze-Klang extends the Grand
canal, that remarkable specimen of
ancient engineering, mentioned by Con.
fucius, which originally was more than
] 900 miles long.
Tientsin has more people than Bos
ton. 1t is the principal city of Chin.
