the assembling of the skins. So skill
fully nave the skins been matched
and stitched that the coat seems to
be made out of a single pelt.. 1t is
forty-eight inches long and weighs
just six pounds.
Imperial Russian sable for a long
time has been the fur par excellence,
and since the Bolsheviki came into
power has been available only to
those to whom cost had no terrors.
An auction sale of Russian furs, in
Guiding sabIes, was held in Leipsic
Germany, last month, when 100000
worth of furs were disposed of by the
Russian Social Soviet Republic. This
was the first auction sale of Russian
furs since the war, and nine carloads
were sold in a day

I coat of Imperial Russian crown sable,
and put a value of $25 900 on the
garment, but declined to make public

against the Globe Theatre Company

planned, was of about the same quail

costs.

A good drama ought to have both
its lights and shadows. If the play is
to be interesting to intelligent people,
it must be true to life.
The selfish wrongdoer should get
deserved retribution for his wicked
acts, and the play accords better with
truth and justice if he is not permit
ted to escape by an illogical eleventh
hour repentance. And representations
of evil and aelf seeking ought to be
offset by fine and noble characters,
whose generous acts and high purpo-
ses help them through trial, and win
out at last. Such plays make goodness
attractive without seeming to preach
any sermon.

One reason why the moving pictures
have gained such wonderful popula-

plays of the spoken drama have ended
in dark despair, without a ray of sun

plays do not draw bigger audiences
The best of them are tragedies. They
leave the beholder profoundly de-
pressed. Many people say there is
tragedy enough in real life, ad they
do not care to pay $500 to have their
feelings narrowed.
Playwriters defend the unhappy
ending, on the ground that it
is often the only one that
is true to life. If the
drama shows a person violating all
the laws of God and man, ii is abnor-
