FINANCE
AND
RUSINESS
b n q F0RBHa.

A man recently got rather
big job. He was much .elated
ever 1t and talked . lot about the
privileges and powers. he would
have.
When I suggested that he
would now be solely responsible
for this, thst and the next re-
suit, he looked at me quizzically.
= And ! gathered from what
he then said that he hadn't given
half as much thought as to what
his responsibilities would be as
70 what his privileges and pow
srs would be.
Men occupying high positions
are going to be held more strictly
responsible and accountable for
the results Of their acts in future
than they have been in the past.
This Is going to apply to busi-
ness life just as much as to pub
bic life.
The shooting Of the Greek
statesmen and military leaders
held responsible by the people
for bringing about the humiliat-
ing defeat Of Greece has aroused
International comment, even in
dignation.
But this increased incident is
strictly in line with the univer-
sal trend.
As a matter Of fact the over
throw of one dynasty after an
other during recent years, in
cluding the downfall of the Ger
man Kaiser and the Russian
Gar, is illustrative of this grow
ing determination on the part
Of the common people to hold
their superiors to strict account
for their actions and the results
following. Other national lead
ers have been arraigned for
trial on the continent of Europe
and, to my mind, this trend is
destined to become more and
more significant.
Take financial and industrial
affairs in our own country.
High positions hereafter are
TO carry with them fewer privi-
leges and more responsibilities.
In the olden days presidents
Of railroads and other large en-
terprises snapped their fingers
at the ordinary stock holders
and at the public. All they had,
TO do in order to retain their
places was to please the capi-
talist or the clique of capital
lists controlling the company.
The railroads and the great
Industrial corporations are no
longer controlled lock, stock. and
barrel by Morgans or Harri-
mans, or Hills or Bakers or
Vanderbilts or Goulds. Control
of them now lies and will lie to-
morrow in the hands of armies
of investors among the general
public.
And it is these armies that
men holding the highest execu-
tive positions must report to
and satisfy hereafter.
Charles NJ. Schwab only a
few weeks ago rearranged the
financial structure of the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation in a
way that transferred control
from his hands and presented
It in the hands of the stock
holders. Moreover, Mr.. Schwab
publicly announced that he was
no longer the active, dominat-
ing day-by-night manager Of
the company's activities. Mr..
Schwab wanted it clearly un-
derstood that responsibility for
the management of the COM
pany had been gradually trans
3erred to the shoulders of

tell win be seen during the coming
week, starting Monday night. in
the five Shakespearean plays he
has found to have the most widely
popular appeal TO present-day au-
oiences. besides the ''Richelieu" OF
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, which
ranks alongside them In both pop

peal.
The week opens with "Riche-

Saesar again Saturday night.
For all the plays, complete and
elaborate scenic productions are
carried, as on the tragedian's for
mer visits. Mr.. Mantell has little
patience with the various fantastic
tneories and ''fsms" in contem-
porary staging of Shakespeare
plays. For three centuries there
mas been a slow and gradual devel-
opment In scenic stage arts, al
ways with the Shakespearean
plays az a basis. Geniuses like
Garrick, Kean, the Booths and Ir-
wing Incorporated what was ar
tistically sound into their produc-
tons, rejecting the far.fetched and
absurd. Out of this process of evo-
luton grew settings OF the type
carried by Mr.. Mantell, and he sees
no reason why the experience OF
three centuries should be rejected,
AZ Is his aim to improve constantly
mis- productions along traditional
lines.

can talent available on the stage
