Sheridan's wit, humor and racy
spirit live today because he wrote,
not for a day, but for all time. The

music by Albert Won Tilzer lyrics by
Neville Fleeson, dances originated and
put on by Sammy Lee, and the whole

drawn from life, and wholesome
humor naturally bubbles forth in
every scene There are many num-

the popular fancy. The dancing

Dorothy Henriques and group of
sprightly beauties.

profanity has a rhetorical force
which compels a certain respectful
federation. The swear words of a
lusty old-time river pilot may exert
a fascination, deplorable perhaps,
yet robust, as Mark Twain has tes-
tilted But the profanity that has
lstterly been developed grows en-
feebled as it become more profuse.
1t denotes no particular boldness of
mind nor strength of emotion. 1t
relies on patient disdain, as it ex-
presses not power, but peevishness.
1t comes with no hard-driven mes
sage of indomitable human fact, but
degenerates into a wailing whimper,
like an echo of babblings in the dis
tance in the psychopathic ward.
There is no doubt that the New
York drama has been rounding
some sharp corners at a terrific rate
of speed, and there is surely no
blame to be suggested if it shows
neurotic tendencies.
