is naturally fitted to make a good soldier,

He has learned to respond promptly. And

Instances of False Notes

Managers Of that day, Of course, had
usually been brought IN in theatrical fam
ics, like Lester Wallacks, and generally
knew the right thing to do In i production.
So much new blood is coming into tho man
agerial ranks these days that knows little
about the traditions Of the profession Yet
back In the early days, in spite Of being ap-
parcntly saturated in stage culture man

Great Tragic Pieces. Says Drew,
Produce the Needed Tragedians

"The stage" he said seems generally to
reach its pinnacle when ii produces great
tragic actors. There are no great players
of tragedy to-day because no one has pro-
duced a great tragedy. That doesn't say
there isn't material among the actors for
great tragedians. | consider Mrs. Fiske
and Ethel Barrymore the two leading ac-
tresses Of to-day. and they are both capable
of deep emotional feeling. Margaret Anglin
is also looked upon actress of fine
qualifications in this line. though / never
saw her in a serious play. l her as a
comedienne, and she was delightful
Comedy seems 10 be more prevalent to-
day than ever and we certainly appear to
bc developing large brood Of very finished
comedians, though that does not mean we
arc more superficial. Comedy is in some
respects much more difficult an art than
tragedy though not so striking in its NOV
ing effects. We have some very fine come
dians in such men as Frank Craven. And,
Of course, there is Miss Maude Adams. I
sincerely hope that she will come back to
tho stage. The last heard was that she
was feeling much stronger and had recov-
cred from her illness.
"Of course, there are actors to-day who
don't seem to take their profession seri-
ously. David Belasco said the other day
that he finds too many Of the younger ones
inclined to play instead OF cutting them
selves OF from a lot Of distractions and
bucklng down 10 hard study of their art.
And there are more social duties for the
actor to-day He is taken up in more
circles to-day than lac was back in the early
days. and this occupies more OF his time
But don't know that you can say the actor
~ those early days, on the average. was any
more studious Of his art or understood the
historical background of tho theatre any
better than the player of to-day.

Ripping Rhymes
POOR EDUCATION
BY WALT MASON

I'm sorryf for the girls and lads who
grow up in these wanton times, for
they have learned to blow the scads,
have learned that care and thrift are
crimes; they've seen their mothers
and their dads with wild abandon
burn the dimes. They've learned it's
folly to provide by saving, for the
rainy day. that life is just one glad
some ride along an endless Great
White Way; that all sane rules should
be defied, that dawn's the time to hit
the hay. They've learned that silk
alone Is fit for gaudy girls and boys
to wear, but no one learns to sew or
knit, or frame a decent bill of fare;
and all must strive to make hit,
though creditors may rear and swear.
We've taught them many foolish
tricks, we elders, who should be more
wise; for we were buying brazen
bricks, and throwing roubles at the
flies; we've got the young folks in a
fix-with US the dark dishonor lies.
They're starting out on their careers
convinced that money grows on trees;
and prudence to their view appears a
thing that has the scent of cheese;
and we mis1ed these gallant dears, we
boobs, with whiskers to our knees. 1t
was our duty to be sane when younger
folk blew in their wads, to rise like
sages and explain that waste invites
the Christening rods. to prove extrava-
gance is vain, and thrift the offspring
of the gods.

The personal ascendancy of Giolitti,

unusual psychologist, eminently hui

triot, a man who knows what he wants
and what his country needs. Nothing
concerning great social movements or
political maneuvers ever escapes his
keen perception or attention.
Giolitti today stands high above all
past political dissension and his chief
aim now is to uplift his country from
the disastrous consequences of the
war and to contribute to the rehabili

white standards. He resents bitterly discrimina-
tion on account of color. It is tragedy to him
that the complete heritage of civilization is not
at the command of his people.
Industrial problems are open to the same
twofold Interpretation. John Stuart Mill once
made the remark that it is doubtful whether all
the inventions Of labor-saving machinery have
lightened the days toll Of any human being.
This remark is still cited by gloomy souls in this
day of widespread comfort, as if it were gospel.
It simply isn't so. But it is possible to look on
industrial evils so intently as to obscure every
thing else. If we concentrate on the defects in
the machinery we may become hopeless. But if
we observe the broad aspects of progress, we
may see the evils to be corrected without being
overcome by gloom.
'The same thing is true regarding the course
of humanity. Sensitive souls of all ages have
succumbed to pessimism in looking out on the
world and it's cruelties and injustice. At the
other extreme have been shallow optimists like
Voltaire's DIR. Pangloss who repeat parrot-like
that this is the best of all possible worlds. But
between these extremes are clear-sighted persons
who recognize the progress that has not been
made while not closing their eyes to the NAL
adjustments that need remedying.
cit takes well balanced character to keep
his head in the turmoil of events, to estimate
things rightly, to hold goal steadily in view and
make for it without being carried away by un-
warranted gloom or unwarranted hope"
