New-York tribune., 1919-12-03

Arthur Hornblow, author of "A
History Of the Theater in America" &
handsome two-volume edition pub
hshed by J. &. Lppincott, is certain
that the theater is going to the devil,
which makes his history particularly
timely. In his last chapter he asks
mournfully, Have the depths been
reached? When one looks around at
the sort OF dramatic entertainment
popular with theater audiences nova
days and examines the qualities Of
much of what passes for acting, one
is forced to the conclusion that sooner
or later healthy reaction must set
in and that the drama, reinvigorated,
will again come into its own"
We might be minded to dispute Mr.
Hornblow's statement about the par
lous plight of the drama, but he cuts
the ground from under our feet bv
writing: Ignorant of what constitutes
real acting theatergoers of to-day
must be, having no standards TO go by
they are quite ready to accept the
make believe, and thus our stage has
gradually declined until to-day some
of our most prominent actors and &C
tresses may appear in vaudeville or
hire out their services to the movies
without fear Of losing caste in their
profession"
Ii Mr.. Hornbow's estimate of CON
ditions is correct it seems rather a
pity to make it public. After all, since
the present-day public is deceived and
happy, why not allow il to continue
in that state? Booth and Barret can
not return, so why should Mr.. Horn
blow object to my thinking, even fat
uously, that john and Lionel Barry
more are superb in The Jest" tha.
Ethel Barrymore gives stirring per-
formance in "Deciassc," that Barney
Bernard and Frank Bacon, ard Roland
Young and Helen Hayes and Lawrence
Grossmith and Wilton Lackaye are all
performing with great charm and skill

The Coming 7ower

When the business Office tells rs
about the ruinously rising cost Of
paper. our generally unbrittle heart
approaches the breaking point. But
when, as In the treasured Times, we
read, "Bolshevst forces have been
icrccy attacking Esthoninn troops
along the Narva front since Thursday,
but have been everywhere rcpulsed, ac-
cording to an Esthonian official state
ment received here. The Bolshevist
attacks have been ferccly attacking
Esthonian troops along the Narva
front since Thursday, but have been
everywhere rcpulscd, according to an
Esthonan official statement received
here. The Bolshevist attacks had been
made in close formation in an attempt
to break the Esthonian line and have
been made under cover of heavy ar
tillery fire, and severe losses have been
inflicted by the Esthonians, it is said,"
we know that things can't be so bad,
and that somehow costs will be met
Why the thcaters should be worried
about the paucity of small change is
another Of the town s. mysteries. All
the managers would have to do would
be to increase the price Of the tickets.
For ticket now costing $3.50, say,
the management should advance the
price to 81, with small announce
ment that, owing to the shortage Of
silver, it is desired to make things as
convenient for the public as possible.
The only result, our guess is that the
attendance would increase.
ART FOR ARTICNOKES' SAKE
Sir My position is that in depicting
my hero as boiling his artichokc l
have faithfully followed the best tradi-
tons of gastronomv. "Bolt' is merely
"gulp down, unchewcd.' OF course, my
hero never in his life chewcd an arti-

monstrous to conceive of than hero
attacking the most impalpabc of fruits
and vegetables as if it were chicIc or
plug-tobacco. All the connoisseurs
among your readers are aware that the
delicate rewards of artichoke eating are
wholly independent of, and superior TO-
Flctchcrization, or other crude use of
the teeth And this has been long un-
derstood, for We find the famous wit
and gourmet of the sixteenth century,
Roget Pinaud summing up the matter
in pithy epigram which | may per
hars translate as follows. "Eschew the
artchokc if YOU wills chew it--nevcrw
AS for the gulping it is enough to
say that my hero was going on to the
musical show. Of course, he wanted
to get there before the programs were
gone
If any of your more inexperienced

is this. Let him send me a crate or two

THERESA SHEEHAN
CONCERT CO.
Will Appear Here Soon in a
Grand Musical Program.

Miss Sheehan has covered the
States as well as Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan, Alberta and British Columbia
in Canada. She has been the "Pio'
neer" in many of the new districts,
hers being the first company to give a
concert in what is known as Athabas
ca Landing, the opening of the Peace
River Country.
Miss Sheehan does not claim that
an exquisite frame will make beau
tiful picture, but she does believe it
helps a whole heap'-that being her
reason for surrounding herself with
two of the most beautiful girls on
the concert platform. Besides being
endowed by Nature they are real

above reproach in every way and just

humorous character impersonations OF

platform in Scotch costume, which

In addition to the individual work
there will be ensemble numbers and

Few people realize the part that mu-
sic has had in the winning of the war
That never give in spirit called morale
is largely a product of the cheerful
ness due to the songs of the men on
the march and in camp. And we
have all heard these songs sung-but
most of us only at second hand.
The Soldiers Quartet, composed of
four young men from the A. e. F.
will render a program on the local
Lyccum Course that will completely
satisfy the longing of the home folks
to hear at first hand the songs of the
boys in khaki
These soldier boys bring lis the
great World War in music And the
songs they will sing will show us that
not all of the war was tragedy Much
of it was fun and good fellowship
and so in their program these soldier
lads will show us the combination of
fun, thrills and tragedy which is mod
ern war. They will portray in song
and pantomime the many sides of the
life that has made men out of weak
ings and heroes out of towards,
Besides the quartet numbers there
are excellent solos and duets Each
member of the company is capable of
sustaining his own part in solo work

will be one of the very enjoyable fea-
tures of the program.
Their songs cover a wide variety
and besides the songs of trench and

songs and love ballads of the dough
boys-all with the typical doughboy
spirit.
For the main part of their program
they appear in evening dress as
straight male quartet giving such an
entertainment as only male voices of
perfect blend and harmony can give.
Passing from gems of classical and
operatic music they render in their
inimitable manner the latest popular
airs. Then for variety comes comic
readings. monologues. and specalities
by various members of the Company.
The Lyceum management presents
this company with great confidence
because each of the members of the
company has had extensive experience
in platform work before entering the
service and there would be no doubt
of the success of the attraction as an
ordinary civilian quartet With their
unique experience as background
and the timely songs of trench and
camp as an interesting part of their
program. this quartet is bound to be
