great villain, but consummate
fool
mot that! Anything but that!
Let me roast in help cries Don
Juan.
But Satan, as in one of Kipling's
strongest poems, will not waste coal,
nor space in hell where gentlemen
sleep three on a grid, to such a fool
as Don Juan. He must live, the
clown, the fool.
The characters in the play are
mostly women, those whose hearts
Don Juan supposes he has broken.
But they do not appear to reproach
him with his sin; they laugh at his
folly, his impotent helplessness.
Satan is courtly and leisurely,
and has fine vein of humor; he is
in no hurry; ne knows he viii get
all that is coming to him.
But poor Don Juanl he is not
even high class villain; he is
doomed to wear his motley, and ap-
near as in a Punch-and-Julv show
the incarnation of stupid folly.

THE LAST NIGHT"
BY DIR. William E. Barton.

GO 1T SEEMS that Rostand did not
close his dramatic career with
"Chanticleer" in which Maude
Adams, most feminine of actresses,
was most inappropriately, but with
singular effectiveness, staged for a
male part! He had previously risen
to tneevery zenith of fame as the au-
thor of "Cyrano de Bergerac" and
did not decrease that fame by his
authorship of "Chanticleer."
Now, to the surprise of the liter
airy world, it is made known that 10
years ago, in 1911, he completed an
other great work, combining poetic
power and dramatic force. 1t has not
been published in English, but adj
advance descriptions of it appear in
some of the literary journals.
1t is called "The Last Night of
Don Juan"
Everyone knows what sort of man
Don Juan was. He was a libertine
most reckless. And we might ex-
pect his last night to be one of deep
shame and remorse.
But the satire of the poet is found
in this, that ne denies to Don Juan
any such luxury of repentance. The
tears which are collected from the
eyes of women he has wronged, and
which he thinks, with vanity he
would substitute for penitence,
might be to him a cooling drink in
hell, are found to have been shed
over the loss of bat, or over a tri-
vial disappointment He has had
small share in any Of them. And
now there is denied him, not love.
but the capacity for loving. That of
which he is deprived is that of which
he has deprived himself.
Rostard did not write as a NOR
plist. He would have resented the
idea that any such purpose was to
have been expected Of him.
But he displays his insight into
human nature and life when the

source, were on a par with each
other. The commission as a whole
might issue orders to its Individual
members, but who could compel will
ling, loyal obedience?
How, then, should the good in
commission government be conserv-
ed and these defects avoided?
The clty-manager plan has proven
the answer to this important cues
ton; otherwise this most hopeful
movement toward democracy might
have been discredited
In the manager plan, commission
ers (councilmen) are not elected
with the idea that they will have to
run a technical department. Their
sole function is to represent, to be
jury, fair samples of the people.
to know all about local public senti-
ments and to express it in the form
OF directions to technical non-par-
5ltlcal administrative force at city
hall.
Labor men are among the most
successful of commissioners in the
manager cities. And women are
available for these posts.
b. Moreover, the demands upon a
commissioners time, when his duties
are limited to weekly meetings. are
lighter. The job of commissioner
becomes something to which any cit
izen may aspire.
Thus the field of available ma
terlal for those responsible offices
IS greatly widened. The choice need
not and does not drift toward pro-
fessional politicians who find the
salary attractive, since city-manager
towns give only nominal compensa-
ton to their commissioners (coun-
cilmen.)
A striking feature of the city
manager movement is the appear
ance as high-grade councilmen of
men who never were willing to go
into politics before.
Nor is there any temptation in the
council toward partially toward
particular departments, since each
member is equally responsible with
the others for the welfare of the
city in all departments.
Twelve cities have changed over
from the commission plan to the
manager plan, among them Wichita,
and Colorado Springs. Many others
are debating it, Des Moines itself,
being one, and there are numerous
towns which would have changed
long ago if they could have gotten
away from legal restrictions.
