AT A DOLLAR A YEAR BY Robert i,

Company.
The first story in Mr.. Raymond 5
book. called TRAP Grease" gave
considerable promise Of an enter
taining series OF stories of the dol
-!ar-a-year man recently in our
midst. But the rest of the stories
concern mostly the doings of a
young woman belonging to the
city's smart set. This is much to
the disappointment of the reader
who knew nothing more Of trap
grease" than did the young man
who was called on for a report on
1t, but the story of how that enter
prising young chap circumyented
the crusty general made most inter
esting reading. There are eight
stories and a postscript, and all Of
them haye something of interest to
Washingtonians, because of their
local setting.

social satire and ridicule the foibles Of
his time.
In "a Sleepless Night" written by
myself and Gustav Blum, and now cur
rent at the Bijou Theatre, we have
tried in modest way 20 have few sly
pokes at the radicals and the conserva-
tives. Radicals and conservatives are
necessary to the body polite: one for
ballast and the other for fight. But
they both have their weak and funny
sides, and with the utmost good nature
we have taken a shot at both.
We named the farce "a Sleepless
Night" for the convenience of the crit
les. There is nothing like trying to
be obliging. Thus, they could say,
THE audience slept through "A Sleep
less Night" or GA Sleepless Night is
a splendid soporific" or "If you suffer
from insomnia go to see "A Sleepless
Night and the cure will be instan-
taneous"
Yes, there's nothing like tightening
the labor of others.

what the Stage Has Lost
In Failing Mary Garden

woman, gracious and fine in movement
puo TOO much has been made Of these
qualities in setting that is so impress
slvely pictorial. The very critics who
nave complained of the strdencies of
her singing voice have had no ears for
the poignancies of her speech, the the
atrlc drive of her recitative, alive with
the tones and cadences of spoken emo
ton. Beauty is a gift from the gods;
to be intelligent and to live by evil
dences of intelligence and imagination
OF high order as she does creates a
debt only to herself. 1t is these many
signs of greater artistry that she
manlfests which should stir artists who
know what it is to use words greatly to
make patterns OF them for her.
There is no drama for Mary Garden
now; it remains to be made for her.
Rachel, called by Lewes "thc panther
of the stage" had to stay by Racine
and Corneille to achieve her effects.
Racine, looked on in England as a cold
dramatist, was shown by Rachel Gin
stInct with passion and dramatic eff
rect 1t is curious too, in view of the
oft repeated statement that Mary Gar
den would be lost without music to sus-
tain her, that Rachel failed when she
essayed Moliere's prose; "deprived Of
the music of verse and missing its
ictus, she seemed quite incapable Of
managing the easy cadences OF col
ioquial prose" But the parallel does
not end there. If the cadenccs Of to-
day are unsuited to Mary Garden 80 is
the fiat landscape she would DO called
on to present. Modern drama Is un-
heroic in the epic sense 1t is impos-
sibie to image her az Hedda or Re-
becca West or Nora Heimcrs. Ibsen
even as Shaw, demands power of
cerebration, apart from imaginative in
tuition and the magnhcence Of pas
sion, which is alien to the art of Mary
Garden. The modern dramatist is
ironic and Satire; his women are deep
ly conscious OF themselves. Mary Gar
den comes as figure out of a less
sophisticated time, when great women
lived richly and ardently and were lit
tie conscious of themselves or their
fates.
Yet everything that has been said Of
Garden, the imagery struck out by her
beauty, was said of Duse when she first
came to America. Both have been
clothed in erotc figures, seen by poetic
minds as symbols of the eternal
enigma. In spite Of it Dusc turned out
a modern, keenly alive to the shadows
that dog modern minds. Perhaps, too,
Garden is still unrevealed At least
there is all of Shakespeare awaiting
her.

transferred from the Greenwich Viii
laga Theatre to the Cort, Mr.. and Mrs
Coburn sent out three other companies
almost simultaneously. The first COM
pany opened at the Princess Theatre,
Toronto, on December 30, with James
X. Hackctt playing the part of "Old
Bill" The Boston company opened
at the Hollis Street Theatre on Janu-
airy 6, with Edmund Quincy as "Old
Bill"
A third company was sent to Phila-
delphia on January 90, with Maclyn
Arbuckle as the good natured and ro-
tund "Old Walrus." The fourth road
company opens at the Illinois Theatre,
Chicago, Monday night, with De Wolf
Hopper as "Old Bill" So that, count

nine actors, up to date, will have

"Old Bills" song in the play: "Old

Co-author of "a Sleepless Night"

Co-author of "a Sleepless Night"
Farce, up to few years ago, was re-
garded as the poor relative of the
stage. The only one that had kind
word for it was the author. Critics
who wore tortoise trimmed pince-nez
farce was low and undignifed. And
the public went, they roared, they loved
it, but were ashamed to acknowledge
their affections. To-day things are
different. Farce has been admitted to
the bosom of the theatrical family and
all apologies are off.
But what prompted laughter dec
ade ago would produce malaria or dys-
pepsia to-day. We are constantly being
educated away from our laughter And
at the bottom of it is wider social
conscience and more humane out
look. We used to grin at hunchbaek,
smile at the stutterer and chuckle at
the deaf. The farce writer nowadays
who would crack Joke at their ex-
pense runs the risk Of dead silence
instead of a salvo Of mirth. Forme rly
the stage drunkard was hilarious fig
ure; to-day he is taboo.
In the seventies the farce writer de-
pended upon puns and mistaken iden-
tity. Everybody mistook Jones for
Smith and Smith for Jones, and when
Jones told Smith he was going to get
spouse and when Smith mistook it to
mean souse, the house rocked If
the playwright tried that now, they
would carry him out, feet foremost.
In the nineties the farce writer took

he slammed the happier he felt while
the audience turned purple and gasped
Tor breath between spasms of merri
ment. The door farce is now draped
with lilies and ribbons OF Sacred to

THE PLIGHT OF THE JUDAISM.

The Jew who observes Judaism as it
should be observed aud whose oDser-
vance penetrates and interpenetrates
his soul, is good man and u good
citizen, will not harm anybody, but
rather seeks everybOdy's welfare. Let
him but observe it haphazartily and
compromisingIy and he gradually de-
teriorates in the scale Of Jewish mer-
it; or let him abandon such Obser-
vance, and while he does not exactly,
tho he may. become bad man and
had citizen, he loses moral balance. We
were again thusly reminded in Lon
Gon Jewish World editorial paragraph,
which reads: ut is where Jews have
lapsed from the observance of Judaism
tLat the trouble occurs. md sin ana

we have intimated: there is Obser-
vance and observance. 1t is to be
regretted that so many of our obser-
yances are indulged in meaninglessly,
