more than the accident that he happens

fore, that, from our point Of view, Mar
garet Wycherly, as Mrs Rainey, brings
new values to the play. This is "a per-
forinance which we shall not forget in
nine seasons. 1t is profoundly moving
and conforms to something Walt Whit
man said about the art Of acting more
than sixty years ago when he wrote,
Now there are two ways Of exercising
such q sway over the passions of an
audlence-the usual way. which is bois
ferrous, stormy, physical and repugnant
TO truth ard taste, and another way,
that actors rarely condesccnd to take,
which consists in an invariable adher
ence to nature and is entirely mental
md works from within to the outward.
instead OF being altogether outward"
Miss Wycherly has condescended and
conquered. Emotional understanding
between player and spectator runs
swiftly, str ongsy, truly, without careen-
ing over its banks and flooding the tiny
bramhall with tears and fury. Here
IS repression in the true sense. Moth
ing is sighted or skimped. and the eff
feet of intense feeling is heightened by
the absence Of all false and dazzling
plete portrayal of q difficult role. It is
one of the outstanding feats Of sea
son Of fine performances.
Sometimes We dc not find the repres-
sion which has been squeezed into the
text quite SO convincing. We remem-
Der that the boy in "John Ferguson"
went away to meet his death remark
ing that it looked like rain or with
some other meteorological observation
on his lips. and when the whole world
cracks about Mrs. Rainey she begins to
darn socks. We think there should be
and that there are times in the affairs
Of men when folk say damn" and
smash the furniture. We are also an
noyed now and again by the rather
studious neutrality of "Mixed Mar
riage,' although it is only fair to say
that the play gets bsavely over it.
you're both right and you're both
wrong" says Mrs. Rainey at one point
in the play, and this appears to be
Ervine's idea Of tolerance. 1t is not
ours. Our ideal of the tolerant man is
one who knows and says that his op-
ponent is wrong-hoaded ass and yet
comedies him the right to his folly.
"Mixed Marriage" turns on the col
lapse of movement to make the Irish
which are economic. by the sudden in
fusion of the religious Issue. A strike
is broken because the leader of the
workers suddenly flames out against
his Protestant son, who declares his in
.ention of marrying q Catholic. The
play was written more than ten years
&C. and probably was truer picture
OF Irish affairs at that time than Of

of pianists who are heard every week
IN the concert halls. His program was
light and he played it in a light an /
superficial manner both as to technique e
and Interpretation. Toward the end of
Schumann's Etudes Symphoniques his
memory proved treacherous, which dii
not tend to improve the general i'm
preston created by his performance.

interesting. These were two pieces by
the late Charles Critics, "The Fountain
of the Aqua Paol." and Scherzo. Op. C.

Plum Pudding Of Other Days.

A great deal has been said, written
and sung about the plum pudding of
old England, but centuries ago 1t had a
formidable rival for epicurean favor
known as plum-pottage or porridge.
1t consisted of beef or mutton made
into a broth, thickened with brown
bread. which was then thoroughly
boiled after raisins, currants, prunes..
cloves, mace and ginger had been add
ed. This dish Is now entirely obsolete.

mentions 1t as late as 1850, and Mrs.

Edinburgh in 1871, announcing her.
self on it's title page as the only teach

city, gives a recipe for making 1t,
while Brand, the popular antiquary,
tells how he partook Of it at q Christ
mas dinner in the mansion 81 an old
English gentleman in 1901, but 1t has
long since been wholly supplemented
by plum pudding. The origin of the
latter is yelled into obscurity. The
earliest cookbook which makes any
reference to 1t Is the one by Mrs.
Frazer already referred TO as contain

are children. The people who have
the children maintain the current
Christmas practices for their chill
dren'S sake, the older children main
taln them for their own sake, and the
folks who have no children keep them
up for old times sake and because it
is the custom of the country.
what an intolerable suggestion that
is, Of there being no children to be had
under fifteen years old; no babies to
blink and coo at the Christmas tree
candles: no tive-year-olds TO come
downstairs in their nghtgowns after
their stockings; no seven-year- olds to
wake up everyone in the house hours
before breakfast; no ten-year-olds to
sit Mt the Christmas board and be
warned against Over-indulgence in
plum pudding. No consuming interest
in dolls and no market for them; no
laborlous searching of the toy shops,
and harassing indecison whether to
get the same old toys or the new ones
no active concern about Jack knives
and sleds and roller skates. No hav-
ing in-but 1t Is much too awful to
60 on about. Let us be devoutly thank
full that it is only an awful idea with
out basis; that there are lots and lots
Of children in commission, Of all kinds

the course of its lines Mr.. Martin in

liShtfully. He says:
Consider, if there were to be a
lapse of new babies for even so short
time as ten years, Santa Claus would
tade out of active existence and be-
come a mere tradition to be read
about in books. A failure of the
infant crop for fifteen years would
result In the decay CT the habit of
hanging up stockings, and only an

istenCe from habit. But the kind of
