with three acts and prologue. The
first division lasts to be sure only a
quarter Of an hour. 1t shows the young
artist in his comparative poverty un-
successfully submitting advertising de-
signs which are quite steadily refused
AS IL this were not archaic enough
there is q comic servant who talks
about the single chop for dinner and
the bread and cheese. The scene is
laid in the late COS and Mr.. Milne may
be merely showing what a relentless
realist he may be. Miss Gaythorna
wears the puffed sleeves and the gored
skirt Of the day. He will follow the
prevailing technic of the period. But
he goes further back. He only stops
short of Madison Morton. He quite
fairly restores T. II. Robertson
The only trace of any professional
requirement which the playwrights
seem to recognize to-day is the i'm
portance Of the single scene. With
prices Of paint and canvas soar
ing far above the skill of the drama
lists and the public Indifferent, three
separate scenes seem scandalously ex-
travagant. But other times, other
ways. There are frequent evidences
Of the earlier date at which THE

Arnold Bennett weakens the dra-
matte quality of THE Title" which In
its theme is already sufficiently dated
by the preposterous character of the
final scene. 1t Is, of course. Incredible
that young girl should write such
scathing political articles under q
pseudonym that all London is talking
of her. 1t is equally improbable that
the man who bears the name she has
selected az her own should happen to
fail into her own family of all the
others In the world and there be dis
covered and disclosed as a fraud. Co
incidence could not be asked to travel
further along the line of life. Such
an impossible event makes THE Title
SO unsound that 1t could never stand
up even SO long as It's subject was
timely.
But there Is one ground on which
the Arnold technic, generally crude as
It is, must receive the highest praise.
There Is not the tinltle of telephone

Saluting the Stars.

A curiously old fashioned trick OF
stage management was observed last
week In one Of the new plays. Whek
the star entered the scene the stage
was occupied by all the leading char.
acters. In a second every eye was
fixed on him. While he delivered his
opening speech the actors watched him
as intently as IL they expected him to
float slowly to the ceiling or perform
some other equally startling physical
phenomenon. But he did nothing OF
the kind. He merely delivered his open
ing speech. Then the actors were al
lowed to proceed with the business OF
the play-the other business, that is
than making the star important.

supplanted the soliloquy as a means
of psychological revelation. It has
even become the substitute for skill
since 1t has rendered 1t unnecessary
for the actor to exercise skill in facial
expression.
1t has indeed been called upon to
perform so many services for the In.
complete playwright that it Is refresh
ing to find drama In which il is not
necessary-or is, at all events, not
called in as a means Of S. o. S. II
would be so easy to conclude by the
theorem that no playwright who
knows his business really needs the
telephone II this play did not so un-
mistakably prove that Mr.. Bennett as
o dramatist knows very littlo about
his business.

Friday "a Record Breaking Day Association Pa,n- 'I'phlet Bringing Results.

More than 200 visitors were shown through Alaska Museum yes. terday by Curator Rev. A. P. Kashe- Yaroff, according to a statement
 made by him today. The Museum he said, is becoming increasingly a center of interest to the tourists ar irving on the steamers and within q few minutes after the. boats dock pthe crowds begin to pour into the Museum rooms.
 With three steamers in port yes terday the Curator was kept on the jump. His day began at ' a. m. whepes passengers on the Princess Alice summoned him by telephone. These were later replaced by pas seneersfrom the Spokane and an other crowd of tourists from the Alameda still later visited the Mu- scum. Many of the tourists offered to pay the Curator for his services and on. refusal by him a number have taken out membership cards in the Alaska Historical Association.
 ! Most of the credit for the in- creased popularity of the Museum is given to the Juneau. Commercial Association by Rev. Kashevsroff. The publicity given the institution in little pamphlet issued recently by the Association and which is being distributed on all northbound steamers ats,ports south of here, he said is bringing in wonderful re- suits. The officers of theg various steamers are also becoming ac- quainted with the Museum and are praising it. to their passengers. s..

Reapportionment

Although the house of Repre-
sentatives is already so unwieldy,
because of its big membership,
that its work cannot be properly
handled, the Siegel reapportion-
ment bill, providing for an in
crease Of AZ members, will be re-
ported today and, unless there is
a loud public protest, it will
doubtless be passed. Probably
the most effective argument for
it will be the assertion that there
isn't much practical difference
between a House Of 4S3 members
and one OF 435 members, as at
present, and that is true; but Che
same argument can almays be
used after the decennial census.
and has been, with the result
that the increase always goes
through.
Mr.. Siegel, it is announced, in
presenting his bill, will also in
troduce a constitutional amend
ment limiting the size of future
houses to 500 members. But that
would not solve the problem.
The House is already too large by
half. III q constitutional amend
.ment reducing the membership to
ESQ or 200 could be put through.
something would really be ac-
complished, If the public were
really alive to the Importance Of
this matter, it could be put
through.
In a body as large as the pre-
sent House and more 80 in one
as large as that which will result
from the passage Of the Siegel
bill, genuine 1eliberation is i'm
possible. Bot the worst effect Of
the unwieAy membership is that
1t makes the average Congress
man a useless figure, 80 far as
important Iadonal affairs are con-
cened. aid forces him, If he
hopes to II IKE some sort Of name
Tor y :. TO secure re-elec-
ton. as fieT. 's does. to devote
himself to local. and petty affairs.
to the securingpf Jobs for his
constituents and public improve
ments for his constituency. This
he finds. can best be accomplish
ed by the old-fashioned method
Of log-rolling. by lending his ef-
forts and his vote to a fellow
Congressman in search of pork"
in return for similar favor.
Thus a larger membership newt
ably means more loR-roIling and
more raids upon the public treas
ury.
Under the Siegel .bill Maryland
win gain an additional Congress
man. 1t would be much better
for Maryland to lose three Of the
six members it already has, if
the representation of the other
States were reduced proportion
