picted. And yet the genial opti-
mist who moved through the play
invariably made things worse than
they were before by his meddIesome
advice.
Again, in spite Of its evangelical
quality, Tolstoy's "The Power of
Darkness" may also be set down
among the somber plays Of the
season, with it's narrowing murder
Of child.
"John Ferguson" which lasted over
from the previous season, was con-
vincing proof that New York audi
ences no longer demand that every
thing shall be for the best in
play. Here was bitter tragedy,
indeed, with mingled elements of
lust and anger and timidity. One
of the chief characters, and perhaps
the most interesting, was an arrant
coward, and the play ended on a
devastating and sardonic note con-
corning the comforts of a faith
which proved tragically unavail-
ing in the play. Nevertheless, the
New York run of the piece was
almost twice as long as that of
"Pollyanna," few seasons previous.

THE Heroine May Die
And the Play Still Live

Jest" was largely written in blank
verse. But though it was tragic and
poetic, theatergoers fiocked to see it,
and during the greater part Of the
run the receipts were in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 week.
So She Dies
Such result encouraged other
managers to artistic efforts. MANY
began to talk Of logical endings,
rather than. happy ones. Since it
had been proved that audiences were
willing and anxious to pay for the
privilege Of seeing John Barrymore
lose his soul and Lionel Barrymore
lose his wits, play equally uncon-
ventional In its ending was found
for Ethel Barrymore. In "Declassee, I"
by Zoe Atkins, Miss Barrymore plays
the part Of an Englishwoman of
wealth and gentle breeding who falls
into disrepute, only to meet man
in the third act who wishes to re-
store her again to high estate. But
at this point she wanders out Of the
house, only to be run over by taxi
cab. She is carried into the center
Of the stage to die.
1t is true that shc dies beautifully
and romantically, slipping champagne
New-York tribune., 1920-02-15

and blowing rings and speaking fine
speeches, but still she dies. 1t has
not been for long that the Amer
lean public would be content and
willing to allow one Of the most
beautiful actresses on our stage to
die even for the sake Of logic or emo
ton. It is true that Miss Barry
more committed suicide in enid
channel by leaping from window,
but the public never patronized that
play with the same enthusiasm which
it has shown for "Declassee."
John Barrymore has become an
even more inveterate dier than his
sister. He died in "Peter Ibbet-
son." but that could hardly be set
down as tragic, since he was united
with the heroine in a future life Of
bliss in the last act On the other
hand, there were no extenuating cir
cumstances Of romance in the last
act of Redemption" when Barry
more died starkly and realistically
with a pistol wound In his abdomen.
OF course the mere act Of dying
cannot be set down as necessarily
unhappy any more. Maeterlinck
and Barrie and Sir Oliver Lodge
have brought things to such a pass
that some tf our jolliest plays are
those in which the heroine or hero
dies and is promptly reunited with
some one who has gone before. 1t
may be remembered that this was
the system adopted by David Belas-
co when he simply could not help
killing off his two chief characters
in "The Darling Of the Gods"

mism in two Of the sornber tragedies

forward with the utmost confidence
to a final scene in which the highest
paid actor in the cast would take the
highest paid actress in his arms and
assure her that at last all their
troubles were over and that they
would live happily forever after.
Variations from this custom were
slight and infrequent. Even themes
which by every canon Of logic should
have ended in misery were manipu-
lated to come to the desired happy
ending. Curiously enough, a new
theory Of the psychology Of audi
ences began during the war. AL

tip Of Manhattan was hereafter to
be ground that must not be profaned
by the presence Of a crook.
To drive his ukase home, Byrnes
established the deadline. Men with
criminal records might venture as
far south, he said, as Fulton Street.
But no further. North of the line
they were free to come and 90 as
they pleased, as long as they COM
mitted no offense. South Of it,
though their demeanor be most in
nocent and their purposes wholly
godly, they were to be arrested, i'm
prisoned and, If necessary, "sent
away" to repent Of their folly.
The underworld, filled with ira
ditional and justifable scorn for
the blundering Police Department,
laughed up it's sleeve at this order
and set out to violate it. Those who
went to scoff remained in Jail to re-
pent Of their bravado, for Byrnes
had manned the invisible battlement
at Fulton Street with the pick of
his force.
The scornful yegg or confidence
man strolled across the deadline with
a smile of amusement at the new
Police Department joke. The smile
vanished and the mouth that had been
sneering moment before gave vent
towails Of indignation when Byrnes' S
men fell upon the violator, hand
cuffed him, administered a salutary
beattng-up and cast him into "the
cooler" to mediate. What happened
then rested with Byrnes.
In the years that ensued the work
was continued. Criminals came to
recognize Fulton Street as a barrier
quite as impossible as the Hudson
River. Financiers came to regard
the man who had erected this in
visible wall as a policeman the like
Of whom New York had never seen.
Their gratitude took the tangible
form OF gifts and an intangible one
Of "tips" on the market. When he
retired In 1895 Byrnes had anassed
a fortune estimated at close to a
half million dollars, a large part Of
which had come from grateful
clients In Wall Street.

jack. The confidence man stuck to
his gold brick or green goods. The
yegg had no dealings with the dip"
or pickpocket, who in turn looked
down with scorn on the sneak thief.
Caste was as we'll defined in the
underworld as in the upper world.
Gangs were built up with an or
ganization as firmly rooted as that
Of the Twelve Tribes Of Israel. Ger
tain "hangouts" were known to be
frequented by this or that class Of
evildoers.
An Exact Science
In those days criminology was a
far moro exact and easily studied
science than it is to-day. Byrnes
studied his criminals. When he testi-
fed before the Iexow Commission he
shocked that reverend body by an
nouncing calmly that he spent two
hours Of every day in his life in the
company Of thieves. He insisted that
good detective had to do this to
establish connections and to learn
the eccentricities Of the men he was
to hunt.
Byrnes, when he took up the hunt,
found that the crook Of the '8Os was
most frequently found prowling
about the lower part Of Manhattan,
where the riches of the city had con-
centrated, like sugar in the bottom
Of cup. The banks Of lower Broad
way, the brokerage offices Of Wall
Street, the jewelry stores Of Maiden
Lane were the lures that caused the
criminals to swarm like flies.
This was the condition in tho RICH
est and most important district Of
the city that faced Byrnes when he
assumed control Of the detective
force. He determined to wipe out
the myriad menaces that beset the
workers and employers in the lower
city. He set about making Wall
Street and It's adjacent thorough
fares as hateful to crooks as the cor
ridors Of Sing Sing. During the flf-
teen years that he was still to spend
in the service Of the department he
succeeded.
Through the channels Of crookdom,
which no one knew better than he,
he issued notice to yeggs and dips,
hunco steerers and sneak thieves,
From now ON, he said, the most
vulnerable district In town was to
be made the most invulnerable. The

last act one Of the chief characters
went mad after numbering his
brother, and the hero knelt by the
footlights and announced that in
achieving his revenge he had lost his
soul and that he would never pray
again..

ability to put himself in the place Of
the man he hunted-to think as his
quarry must think Besides, he was
an adept in "strong arm work" in a
time when society regarded the crook
in less humanitarian light than
it does to-day and believed that what
happened when the police caught a
man they thought crooked was
matter Of no private citizens busi-
ness.
In 1868 he became roundsman; in
1859 sergeant. A year later his un-
canny detective ability brought him
the post of captain and he spent the
bulk Of the next ten years as COM
mander at the Mercer Street station.
There fate gave to him his great
chance and made his name known
throughout the United States.
The wolves who for years had
been marrying the financial district
made their greatest kill-one Of the
most astounding crimes ever carried
through in New York City.
An Astounding Crime
In 1878 employees Of the Manhat-
tan Savings Bank discovered one
morning on entering their building
that the safe had been entered dur
ing the night and cleaned out. The
cleaning had been thorough. The
robbers had vanished. With them
had disappeared $2,747,70O in bonds,
stock and cash.
Loud was the lamentation from
the financial district; frantic the
scurrying Of the police department.
Clues we're picked up and dropped,
detectives Of a none too efficient
force were completely at sea. Mean
while, the walrus-mustached captain
Of the Mercer Street station was
going about his work.
He knew thieves and their
methods. Through years Of study
coupled with a gift that approached
genius, he was able to recognize the
work Of a particular yeggman as
an art savant is able to identify the
canvas Of this or that painter.
Presently Captain Byrnes mads an
arrest in the Manhattan Bank mys-
terry; then another and another. OF
the enormous loot that the robbers
carried away, all was eventually re-
covered except 100000. OF the
"mob" that cracked the safe, all, or
almost all Of them, were captured,
tried, convicted.
Departmental jealousiss could not
stand against the wave of popular
enthusiasm for Byrnes that ran
through the city. There was only
one thing for the department to do
and it did it. The master detective
was removed from the Mercer Street
station and placed in control of the
entire detective force, with a free
hand in its management.
For the first time since he entered
the service Byrnes was in a har-
ness that fitted completely. He had
the job for which native ability and
training had fitted him.
He proceeded to make the New
York detective force, heretofore
somewhat Of a Joke, an organization
respected by the law-abiding and
feared by the crook. No homeo-
pathic doctrine was his in working
his cure. He went through the
force like twelve-inch shell through
brick wall and then remolded the
fragments in accordance with his
theories.
The criminal element of Byrnes's
day was no fluid, vague, continually
changing class. It's organization and
classes were as rigid and we'll defined
as the Prussian hierarchy.
A man who began his career Of
crime as a safeblower continued as
8 safeblower. The highwayman
never deserted his pistol or black
