The fly" public of the present day
would instantly lose interest in the
work Of any dramatist who seemed to
find 1t necessary to hammer in what
they ought to know for their enjoy
ment OF a play.
The Vanished Aside.
Even as modern a critic as Fran
cisque Sarcey raised his voice on be-
half of the aside" which seemed for
SO many years indispensable to the
playwright. Sarcey believed it an i'm
portant aid to construction. When the
critics and younger playwrights OF
France began to protest against the
artificiality of the device he came to
it's defence. He drew an analogy be-
tween a sonnet in which the poet had
by scrupulous labor succeeded in
alphabet.
"It may be difficult" said the critic
in effect, ito compose sonnet in which
for instance the letter e. does not ap-
pear and the poet is to be congratu-
lated on his industry and skill. But
of what value is this achievement
What difference does 1t make to the
world whether this particular letter
appears in the words or not? 1t would
be much better to have 1t there if 1t
added beauty to the poem than to
avoid it's presence as a mere trick of
writing.
And so it Is with the speech aside.
1t may be possible to write a play
without using this convention Of the
playwright's art. Already dramatists
have succeeded at this task, but what
is the value of this achievement? II
is much more important that the
author use the speech aside and
thereby. render his work interesting
and dramatic than to regard, as a
triumph of his skill, the fact that he
has been able to ignore this device
throughout his work."
Thus wrote the pontificial Papa Sar-
cey in the later years Of his life. Yet
in the short interval since his defence
of this old expedient it has altogether
fallen into disuse. The writer cannot
recall modern play during the last
season which contained any intima-
ton that the author had ever heard
of such a trick in his trade.
How different we're the bad old play
wrights Of score Of years ago-no,
| the skilled, mind you, since they
would never have yielded to such a
temptation. Sometimes an aside which
could only be considered as a psy-
Geological and mental process in any
case was overheard by another char
acter in a play.
Then my father will come to me-
the heroine might say aside to inform
the audience of her conclusion from
what she has seen or heard.
The villain. who must. to accord
with the theory of the aside" also
have been mindreader. overhearine
her, would say: Her father, ahl And
not the duke"
Then the jig was up. But it was
only constituencies playwright who
would manhandle the poor old aside
In this fashion.

The Aid of Science.

Some of the most obvious means of
former writer's have been rendered
altogether unnecessary by scientific
advances in the equipment of the the
atre. II Is popular theory that i'm
proved lighting of the stage led to the
disappearance of the aside" The
facial expression of the actor can indi-
cate what had in an earlier period TO
10 spoken. Then the telephone has
done It's part in making the aside an
impossible aid to the dramatist. The
telephone has indeed taken the place
Of the confdant of tragedy. Imagine
the distressed heroines Of Corneille and
Racine talking their woes into the re-
cciver
Emphasis Less Necessary.
So authors are undoubtedly spared
the trouble now OF underscoring and
explaining and repeating as they did
I'm the older days. Even the movies
have had their share in making the
public grasp the situation of the char
acters more promptly than they used
TO. In all probability the device Of
preparing an audience for what " to
come ana then Keeping IL always ahead
of the actors is as important in tech
nica1 way as II ever was.
It seems probable that other rules
have retained to this day much OF the
effectiveness that the disciples of the
well made play claimed for them. Yet
they must with the greatest exacti-
fudc be adapted TO the conditions OF
the present time. They must keep
s~o-npt step with the changes n the
public mind. Not the least reason for
the importance OF this necessity Is the
resentment of any process that may
DC mistaken for rubbing IL In.
There is nothing more trying 10

the intimation that he is so dull he
must have special instruction as to

TAX COLLECTIONS CRIPPLED.
Loss of Building Also Blow tc
Government Administration.
by WILLIAM II. BRAYDEN.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1921.
DUBLIN, Ireland, May 26.-The ef-
feet of the burning of the Dublin
custOmhouse will be to cripple the
collection Of the income tax through
out Ireland, for though the local Of
ficeS do much of the work, the GUS
tomhOuse contained the central ad-
mlniStration. A year ago the Sim Fein
burned the local offices in score of
Irish towns; yesterday they struck at
the head and the breeze carried char
red tax forms all over the city.
The other main object of the at
tack was the premises of the local
government board, which exercises
control over municipalities and local
councils and has everywhere, outside
of northeast Ulster, recently been
invoking the kings courts in a vain
endcavor to compel Sim Fein bodies
to obey it's rulings. All its activities
centcrcd in the customhouse and it's
records were all burned.
Next to the old parliament house in
college Green, the customhouse at
the river mouth was Dublin's most
beautiful secular building. 1t cost
100000 pounds (s2,O0O,OOO) to build
placed for 100000 pounds (s5,000,-
00O).
The government admits the increas-
ing audacity of the sim fein coups

Wholesale round-ups. searches and
the interment of every suspected per
son are the main features of the
official policy Those interned now
number more than 5000 and within
month the number. it is expected,
will be doubled. Yet there is no
sign that these drastic methods are
having any deterrent effect, as the
boldness of the Sim Feiners in all
districts proves. A significant fea-
ture or the campaign is the frequent
assassination of civilians to the
bodies of whom papers denouncinp
them as spies are attached. Cases
Of this kind are reported daily from
