The third edition OF the Bowdoir
"Bear Skin" for the college appeared
on Thursday at the opening OF the
Sophomore Hop House Parties. This
issue is called the "Pure Number
as result of agitation to elevate the
grade of humor in that publication
The "Orient' states: "As q result
of criticism the board has tried tc
make this issue pure as driven snow
although there may be some
objections to the fifty-six hundredths
per cent. that is not pure. they hope
it will be satisfactory to everybody
On the cover appears a striking blue
background with a cake OF Ivory
soap in the center amidst fluffy suds
and the characteristic "99 Is per
cent. Pure" printed in conspicuous
white. The figure of the bear which
has before separated the jokes has
been replaced by a cake of Ivory
soap. The cartoons are as usual
original and well done. The Ex-
change column has some choice bits
of humor gathered from other
humorous publications.

How New Plays Are Written
and the Cost Of Ringing
Down Curtain.
By LUCIEN CLEVEs.

TIME present tendency OF man.
ayers to turn back the wheels
of time to the extent of pro-
ducing anew the plays which pleased
in the past has been to certain ex-
tent justified by the results. David
Relasco first indicated this way to his
colleagues by reviving "The Easiest
Way" and "The Return of Peter
Grimm" Eugene Walter, author of
the drama in which Frances Starr is
again playing with such success, has
his own theories as to the strength
which remains in these older plays of
the American playwrishts.
When / wrote The Easiest Way"
he said to the reporter for The NEW
YORK HERALD, "and when most of the
bther works that have been revived
first saw the light the dramatists used
to be allowed to attend TO their own
jobs. The manager might have some
thing to say since it was his money
that was to be risked. and 1t was also
possible that the star might have n
few suggestions. Otherwise the play
wright was untramelled and did his
work as well as he knew how.
But now! Why, everybody con-
nected with theater collaborates with
the poor simple minded playwright,
OF course the manager writes the play
TO hear his story. Then everybody
takes a hand from the managers type
writer TO the carriage starter. When
a play nowadays reaches the stage the

z any wonder that such plays lack the
lasting power of those which repre-
sented only the best work Of the play
wright?"

But to neither of these is allotted
the same degree of success that goes,
Tor example, to such q conventional
farce as "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife"
VI. Savior's play is no more than a
modern variation of the old scheme Of
philandering which has been for so
many years the heart and soul Of the
boulevard plays. Is 1t possible that
American audiences are going to close
their ears to the whole school of the
contemporaneous French playwrights?
Authors of the plays that still win
popularity over here have no more to
say than their predecessors had a
score of years ago. They may say it
expertly. Yet 1t Is a curious phase of
our awakened theater that only the
same sort of q thing that France has
heen sending us for a generation or
more makes the appeal to the Ameri-
can public which is strong enough to
grow into success.
Fritz Leiber's Success.
Fritz Leiber. who has ended his two
weeks at the Lexington Theater. has
evidently made public in this city,
He deserves it. No young actor Of
Shakespeare brings more qualifca-
tions to his task. He has undeniable
faults. He lacks elegance. He is often
slovenly and inaccurate in diction. He
is not always graceful in gesture. but
he Is at times a whirlwind of express
sive action and moving passion. He
can at times burn with an ardor that
no other actor reveals on the stage
to-day. No other seems so likely to
awaken enough interest in the theater
OF Shakespeare to add another per-
manently to the short list of actors
in these plays.
Naturally young player beginning
in this field cannot spread his wings
too far. There is no objection to the
prevailing manner of acting Shake

TO the phrase. with curtains" Living

any other stage decorator. Mr.. Leiber.
with his lights and music, his excur-
sions and alarms, creates a tolerable
Illusion in all his plays. He has this
year the cooperation of some really
competent players.
Yet the results are too meager. Gen.
timely gifted as he is for the Shake
spearean drama, he is not enough nor
is his equipment sufficient for the de-
mand of the day. 1t is of course inn
mensely to his credit that he has con-
trived within the brief period of two
years to bring to his side a public
numerous enough.to fill the vast audi
torium Of the Lexington Theater for
two weeks. Yet he must have more to
offer his admirers II nc will win here
IS well as in other cities the place to
which his talents really entitle him.
His own costuming is not only ade-
quate. but always beautiful. Yet there
are in those about him deficiencies in
this particular which even the hum
blest presentation to-day could not
tolerate. Mr.. Leiber's future so far
as his individual talents are concerned
seems to be assured. II he does not
reach the high place TO which he Is
destined he must attribute 1t to the
lack OF certain indispensable material
aids TO his performances.

preston and quite unsentimental
avoirdupois been placed at the service
OF roles to which they were not in the
least suited. Mr.. Eddinger as a ro-
mantle hero or u more or less cynical
and cosmopolitan lover, was never
impressive. Now he has found him
self. Every popularity from his stac-
cato delivery to his more or less in
terrogative gaze. helps him in his new
field. How happy must the actor be
who Is able to escape the heroics and
enjoy himself and incidentally amuse
the rest of the world as much as Mr..
Eddinger does as the hero of the now
play of Walter Hackett at the Cort
Theatre.
The Drnmatist's Flame.
David Wark Griffith seems by all
the signs to have made a success of
his usual kind with the cinema founded
on TIE old French melodrama THE
Two Orphans" His sweeping vistas
of panoramic action and his multi
tudinous supernumaries, come re-
peatedly to the screen. Nothing could
be more skilfully prepared to arouse
the suspense of the spectators than
the delayed rescue of Henriette from
the guillotine. an incident which Il IS
needless to say, was created in the
mind of Mr.. Griffith and not Adolphe
d'Ennery.
The girl is strapped to the guillo-
tine. This particular Jacques lifts up
20 -.
that there may be a clean job. The
Judge lifts his hand TO give the signal.
All these views alternate. of course.
with the sight Of the soldiers hurrying
with the pardon to the place OF execu-
ton. Never was there more elaborate
preparation to arouse the suspense OF
the spectators. Scattering salt on a
wound could not be more certain in
is effects on the watchers of this
alternating picture.
Yet with all these dashing horses
and bowling supernumaries there is
not the genuine interest that comes
with the sudden appearance of the
blind Louise outside the lodgings of
her sister. who is just at that minute
entertaining unknown to her the
mother of the street singer. Again
Mr.. Griffith piles on the suspense In
lis accustomed manner. Again he de-
lays the meeting of the two until
Frochdrd has finished her pot of wine
and the other detail which may in
crease the emotional intensity of the
situation has been carefully shown.
There are none of the great aids TO
success that Mr.. Griffith utilizes in his
scene of rescue from the guillotine.
But the effect Is profoundly more
