When Lee Random came home with

NEW YORK, May 10.--It seems to
me that there is good deal of loose
thinking about the relative importance
Of Farious forms Of theatrical entertain

his fitness for tragedy. The young
woman who shows high ability in put

am thinking specifically Of the case
OF Fannie Brice. She could unques-
fionahly create character in song, but
it did not follow that this particular
gift meant that she could do precisely
the same thing without words and mu-
sic. Indeed, when abe was introduced
into straight play she was a con-
spieuous failure. 1t was given to her
TO sketch in personality with marvellous
celebrity but she was not able to do a
life-sixe portrait.
And what Of it, The public does not
demand that every accomplished essay
isl shall immediately attempt a novel
or that the young woman with gift
for lyric poetry must smash herself
against an epic. On the contrary it il

such thing as an absolute in the domain
OF letters and that man or woman may

dozen different fields of writing.

to the old-time ejaculation which
has made it historic.
Garrett is to take an active
