THE PROBLEM OF THE THEATER

Ever now and then somebody rises
against the current tendency in the
theater. A Chicago minister told
what he thought about the passing
shows the other day and Immediately
Percy Hammond, dramatic critic OF
the Chicago Tribune announced that
he agreed with him.
As in the serving of all public COM
modities the theater confronts the
problem, shall it give the people what
they want or what they should have?
Now most theatrical managers do
not worry over the answer to this
question. Here and there we may
have a Stuart Walker or a Winthrop
Ames with aesthetic appreciation, but
most theatrical managers are in the
profession as a business. The Win
ter Garden shows may offend the cler-
gy and the dramatic critics but the
transient in New York seeks diversion.
Like III literature anu al puOhS oPAA
ion and public taste dictate to a great
extent the character Of the cur
rent play. If for time public taste
runs to the bedroom farce and the
risque situation we may be sure the
managers are going to keep us sup
piled with this type of show until
we have had enough.
With all the complaints, the stage
is not so bad as the people who sell
dom 60 to the theater would have US
believe. No season is so dull that 1t
does not bring forth few good plays
and a few great actors and the great
bourgeois is pretty well contented
with what is served as relishes be-
tween portions. The frivolous play
often gives offense to the intellectual
because it is so frankly represented
to be exactly what is is instead OF
posing under a false characterization.

rectly the applicants right to vote,
Now that women have become admit
ted to the right of suffrage under the
same condition as the men" there does
not appear to be any good reason why
the immemorial custom should be
changed, especially since it is usually
harder to determine a woman's age
from her appearance than 1t is to de-
termine the age of man. If women
are to engage in political and citizen
ship life they must expect to undergo
the same conditions as men; and we
cannot see why the shopgirls and 9TH
ers of Portland should not be re-
quired to satisfy the registration board
that they are 81 before they are given
the right to participate in primaries
and elections--providing, of course,
that the registration board sees fit to
ask questions along the line of age.
Women should sink that old -time re-
pugnance to telling their ages when
they apply for registration. Why
shouldn't they tell their ages if there
is any honest doubt in the minds of
the registration board?

Nobody was killed and no consider
able amount of damage was done when
a heavily loaded motor truck broke
through the interstate toll bridge at
Waterford in the northern part of the
state recently; but there were posi-
bilities for serious results. In view of
the fact that automobilists have been
compelled to pay % cents every time
they drove their machines across the
bridge it does seem as if the recipients
of the money should have been COM
PEELED to see that the bridge was safe
for traffic. The income from the col
lections ought surely to have been suf
ficient to pay for new planking now
and then. Y

We may have wrong notion of the
natter, but it looks rather uncalled
or that a group of college men from
he United States should 60 to France
engage in so-called reconstruction
york in the areas devastated during
he period of the war France no long
r is at war, and France has her own
'econstructionists, as many probably
b proportion to her population as has
Ihe United States. Moreover, France
as her own salvation to work out and
! in pretty fair condition to work it
| ut without calling on the United
ftates or any other nation. So it
eems like superfuous energy diverted
b one field of operation for a body of
american college men to engage in re-
obstruction work in the devastated
|reas of France. There are plenty of
|evastated areas in the United States
|hich need the hand of the reconstruc.
3onists as much as does France, only
|erhaps it is more hum drum work op-
Eating in the United States.
