These little shops are not elaborate; they
are the simplest Of their sort in any coun-
try. The certainty of a clientele makes ad-
vertising and such like superfuous; besides.
display has never been a mark of the true
aristocrat. The owners have not followed
the regulation French paneled elegance,
nor that Munich decoration which abounds
so lavishly on the Continent, nor Is there
such n strainng after modernity as in New
York nor toward the faddsh touch OF the

The almost persistent non-appearance Of
the owner has been remarked upon. She
avoids the encounter--the publicity. She
tends to remain in the background. where,
unfortunately, like all the world che can
not escape the commercial traveller. She
does not dress the part as the French al
ways have, and as Americans incline to-
unless they overdress It. The personal sam
pling of her own wares would tend toward
advertising and transgress the code.
These poor-rich are showing more than
average economy; they are canny. The old
family nurse. the French maid and even the
parlor maid do duty in the shop, This fol-
lows universal French method of employ

they turned to the speaking stage. Just to
think of the way this increased the compe-
tition among the actors, this army suddenly
decided that it also had TO find a place in
the theater. 1t makes employment for the
actor harder than ever to find. 1t makes it
more than ever difficult for the youngsters
to find the practice necessary to learn to
act. But only in that respect has the cinema
been of disadvantage to the stage"
Like all his colleagues, whether they ever
acted in his plays or not, Mr.. Davenport
deplores the limited amount Of Shakespeare
supplied to-day by the managers. He has
even thought of the tremendously modern
method of giving the plays in the dress of
this day as an experiment in order that the
public might at least become accustomed
to the language and by this knowledge learn
so to love the texts that the desire for them
would lead to a new interest in the Eliza
bethan dramatist.

Joseph Grismer took the young actor to
play for several seasons in "The New South"
and with him he served his apprenticeship in
Western stock company methods. In Chi

gomaster," and variety of operettas in the
