The Decadent Theater.

Still another diagnostician, ST.
JOHN IRVINE, who is really an au-
thority on the subject, has been tell
ing audiences in England what is the
matter with their theater 1t is al
ways safe to assume that there is
something the matter with any the
alter. AS early as the seventeenth
century there was already a whole
literature devoted te tie decline Of the
drama. 1t has ne-' been any better
since that day. Only the Elizabethan
era seems to ltisty the modern
idealists. Doubtless contemporary
diagnoses were less reassuring.
There has been deep and vociferous
regret expressed during the past year
over the unfortunate oFdition of our
own theater.
Mr.. IRVINE has been su scessful as
playwright and novelist. From his
experience in both lines he blames
the fiapper for the quality of the
drama in England to-day. He holds
that she belongs TO a generation
which matured when life had ceased
to be held sacred; which grew up
callous and cynical; by which sin
certify was not appreciated and to
which anything that savored Of analy-
sis was taboo. The men and women
who set the standards of theatrical
taste to-day were children when the
war began. Conspicuous among them
is the flapper. She is product Of
abnormal conditions, and so her view
point is abnormal. Thus Mr.. IRVINE
reasons.
We have heard the young person
blamed in the past for the weak.
nesses OF our own theater. But 1t
was generally because her restraining
influence on the choice of subjects
was supposed to limit our own
dramas truth as a picture OF life
and manners. Now the fiapper in
England is accused of making the
plays heartless and false. Perhaps
the war flapper is young person OF
different kind.
But she is not alone In causing Mr..
ERvrNEs disquietude. He attributes
much OF the theater's present dol.
drums to the syndicates which con.
troll the playhouses. They are de-
scribed as being composed of ava
ricious business men who look out
only for their dividends and care
nothing about the harm to the the
ater's traditions done through their
pursuit OF money. The best days of
the drama in England passed out, in
Mr.. ERvINE's opinion, with IRVING,
Tree and ALEXANDER.
Yet we seem to recall that these
men as actor managers were often
blamed for the decadence OF the the
alter. Never having had any such &C.
tor managers over here. we have
wondered how they should do so
much harm. Yet they we're sharply
criticized for their influence on the
drama. They we're pictured as
heartless stars who would engage
nobody with talent which might in
terfere with their own prominence.
They thought only Of their own i'm.
portance; plays and the public might
suffer so long as their prominence
was not threatened. Those were

Margaret Fuller.
Her Death Commemorated by
Tablet on Fire Island Beach.

To THE New YORK HERALD: was
much interested in the two letters you
published in regard to Margaret Fuller.
The first one concerned her opinion OF
Mazzini, the other the copy OF her letter
to George Sand. introducing the painter
Hicks. 1t was this painter who left us
the only portrait of Margaret Fuller
which in any way does justice to her.
And even that falls short.
In 1901 a memorial TO Margaret Full
Ter was erected on Fire Island beach.
Julia Ward Howe wrote beautiful trib-
ute which was'put on bronze tablet
and the memorial consisted of a pavll-
ion. the tablet being placed inside. Julia

The Panama Railroad Company has
been sued by the father of a young
man in the navy who lost his life In
consequence of a collision between the
railroad company's steamship Panama
and the United States destroyer
Graham on December 10. An interest
ing aspect Of the case grows out of
the fact that the United States owns
the railroad company and the ships
that corporation controls. Hence two
agencies Of the Government win be in
court, each trying to fix the legal
blame for the accident on the other.
The Enright police administration
showed how vigorously 1t can enforce
a law that isn't law.
