yoLsTEAD FARCE

George Jean Nathan, in Judge.
 ' If man were to buy an expensive French automobile. bring it over to America, elaborately prepare it for a tour from New York to San Fran cisco and then, as everything was ready for the suspicious start, pour all the gasoline out of the tank, let the air out. of the tires and smash the engine, everyone would promptly conclude that he was ready for the strait Jacket, But when, on the other hand, manager buys an ex- pensive French farce, brings 1t over to America, elaborately prepares it for a tour from New York to San Francisco. and then, as everything Is ready for the suspicious start, simi- larly takes out of it everything that makes it go. the reviewers devote three quarters of column in the newspapers to praise of his tact, taste and acumen.
 The average French farce as dis closed to America is a combination of the Seventh commandment and eighteenth amendment: one-half of one per cent of adultery. As well put on Uncle Toms Cabin in white face, or lay the scenes of Potash and Perlmutter" in the Union club. Adultery may be objectional to the American theatregoer, but I can see no more reason for removing it from French farce on that ground than can see reason for removing all the clothes from the girls in the Green wieh Village Follies" on the same ground. The truth is. that the Amer ican theatregoer is something of a hypocrite. and nonsensically. He will countenancc any play in which adui- tery. however nasty, is treated gravely, but he will countenance none in which adultery. however nasty, is treated gravely, but he will countenance none in which adultery, however delicately handled. is treated light. He swallows "Ca- mille" whole, but he gags at La Belle Adventure" which, for all it's levity. is 10 times as moral and 10 times. to use his favorite word. as ''wholesome.' The actua immoral plays, in the American sense of the
 world. are not French farces like "The Rubicon" that. for all their du- bious beginnings. have eminently like those of "Bataille." Porto Riche.' "Hervieu." "Lavedan," ct al.. that often end as 'simmorally" as they begin. yet are suffered an American hearing without being subjected to the qualification process of adapta- .tion.
 The American theatregoer, it seems. would rather be looked on as complete idiot than as one given even for moment to indorsing im- morality.
 During the last 300 years there
 have been more changes in hat
 fashions than in any other part of
