In The Land of Make Believe
By WALTER D. HICKMAN

The value OF a Taught is well realized
In the vaudeville Offering of Imhof, Co
reene and company. in TN Pest House"
Interest In a stage Offering IS obtained
IN various ways In some productions
the interest of the spectator is conferred
upon the message Of the story, as in the
case Of Barrie's MARY Rose" IN tho
modern revue interest seems to center on
tightless feminine legs and blue jokes
OF men hailed as comedians" In
musical comedy. Interest TO a great extent
Centers upon the dancing and the mu-
sic. In some cases where the vehicle is
unworthy, interest is attracted by an
excellent cast which lifts poor material
to a high plane. Mystery is the keynote
OF some plays, like The Bat" and
The Thirteenth Chair" in some cases
interest centers upon the character work
Of q single player.
There are few examples on the stage
today where the interest centers upon
the laughs. There are few solid laugh
ing productions on the stage. I'm a Pes:
House" just wholesome hokum, is mas
terfully produced by Imhof. Coreene and
a third party. These three know how to
get a laugh nearly every second they
are on the stage.
It requires great" acting to put over
a sketch OF the nature Of "In a Pest
House" so It Is my opinion that Imhof,
Coreene and the third member Of the
company have contributed twenty min
utes Of the greatest fun ever have seen
on the stage.
Vaudeville needs acts of the nature
OF In Pest House" and above all II
needs the refined, experienced and natur-
al work OF Imhof and Coreene.

This department received some interest
ing remarks from L. II, Sothern on stage
censOrs.
Mr.. Sothern states:

A censor might easily 90 more harm
than good. In England and in some
other countries such au official has been
a source Of contention constantly.
1.-THE privilege Of free speech is not to
be lightly interfered with A drama too
strenuously controlled might dwindle
into nothingness,
"A really wise and capable censor
would be almost impossible TO fud-his
qualifications would have to be numerous

come political, which I should think
would be deplorable.

George Gaul,

in New Play
Captain Applejack' Found to
Be Good Fun by
Hines.
BY DIXIE HINES.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-It was a
fine choice of plays that the mana
gers offered to playgoers as a New
Years gift, plays Of great variety,
plays with music and with thrills,
canoes like The S. S. Tenacity"
and good fun like Captain Apple
jack and old-fashioned, badly acted
and worse staged plays like "Agla-
vaine and Selysette."
Augustin Duncan began his career al
an actOr-manager with a gem from the
French, "The S. s. Tenactty," with
g cast which included besides the man
ager, George Gaul, Tom Powers. Jennie
DickersOn, Marguerite Forrest and
Claude Cooper. Here is a play that
can be imagined better than described,
and when produced, as it has been pro-
duced In this instance is a really not
able stage achievement.
The theme is the conflict between two
young men seeking to leave France for
Canada. There is the sensitive, sympa-
thetlc one who loves in silence and his
bold companion who takes what he
wants. The pronounced differences,
mental and physical between these lads
furnish the moments of interest, with
a pretty waitress to furnish an incentive
and an old stevedore philosopher to
teach them the lessons of life. It It as
true a piece Of writing-from the French
Of Charles Vndrac-and as notable a
production as the season has developed.

LESSONS OF BOY WEEK.

Chester, Pa, has been having a Boy
week, during which parents were urged
to encourage their sons in healthful ex-
ercise and to devote their leisure time
to fraternizing with them. Fathers
were urged to recall their own boyhood,
to enter joyously into marbles and base
ball and to show warm-heartedly their
interest and sympathy in the boys ac-
tivities.
Much real good may be accomplished
by such a celebration. There are par
ents, of course, who do not need to be
reminded once in % weeks that their
children are growing human beings
whose companionship is a joy as well
as a duty or responsibility There are,
unfortunately, too many parents of the
other sort, too, who are too busy to
take a sympathetic interest in their
youngsters. They like to show them off
occasionally. but for the most part they
carelessly let matters slide. except for
occasional sessions of discipline.
To such parents the special week may
bring Il needed awakening. 1t is likely
also to bring considerable discourage
ment and might well be followed by a
campaign in behalf of bewildered adults.
Neither the respect nor the confidence
of child can be forced If there has
been little companionship in the past,
Il single week of sudden effort cannot de-
velop it. The parent inspired by Boy
week may find his son surprisingly re-
served and shy, even perhaps little
scornful. If such is the case, it is a sure
sign that everything is not as it should
be, that friendship and mutual under
standing need cultivation wisely and
gently throughout the whole year In
the end a better citizen will have been
reared and a happier parent will have
enriched his own life as well as his
child's.
