CIR JAMES BARRIE'S Peter Pam"
- in which Charles Dillingham; is
presenting Marilyn Miller at the Ma
tional Theater, has been making thea
trical history since 1t was first pro-
duced in London, December 27, 1904,
when Nina Boucieault had the honor
of being Peter Pan first on any stage.
Maude Adams was selected by
Charles Frohman to play the part in
America. The star system of which
Mr.. Frohman was a strong supporter
dictated that every play must, so far
al possible, be made over to give the
star every possible good line or sit
uation. This was done with Peter
Pan" for James Barrie, in those days,
was not so important a person. And,
at any rate, Mr.. Barrie was not aware
of the changes.
So far as Washington is concerned
Miss Adams first played Peter Pan"
here at the National Theater, Octo-
Der 16, 1905. 1t was one of the great
events of that season. Her last ap-

spats on a comedian. Its faithful
companion was the slapstick. Joe
Cook recently introduced this. With
slapstick and seltzer bottle both in
evidence there can be no doubt that
the American theater is preparing
new and substantial career to be
built on basic principles.
The storm raised by theatrical de-
hance of propriety RACES more
fiercely with each passing week. A
New York manager declares HIM
self philanthropist as he endeav-
ors to produce a play so shameless
that it will compel authoritative ac-
tion and sweep from the boards all
Objectionable dramas, including, of
course, the successes of competitive
producers. For all this the public
apparently cares nothing. What
Price Glory?" finds its unquestioned
vindication among the playgoing
masses in the perpetual query at the
box Office, What price, two seats ?"
A censorship is threatened more
strongly each year, and perhaps
would, in its eventual effect, prove
relief to managers. The old Eng
lish system of licensing plays has
not operated with any great strin-
.gency in preventing the proffer of
debatable footlight material 1t
does settle clearly the question of
whether a play shall proceed under
definite authority and without
further molestation. Play licensing,
at least, has the merit of stopping
the argument.
In the meantime some expert
ments might be in order to prevent
the risk play patron now runs of
taking his family or friends to an
entertainment of which they will
disapprove. In every other transac-
tion a merchant must display his
wares or at least give an honest de-
scription of them. Poisonous drugs
and substitutions in food material
must be plainly labeled What goes
into the stomach is cautiously super
vised, but what goes into the mind
is left without any effort at intelli-
gent restraint. Many a play and
many a story would deserve the
skull and crossbones required for
morphine or wood alcohol. Plays
/ are very seldom printed in this
country. Few of them might be
considered worth printing except
as a means of checking up on
them. A play not worthy to go
through the post office should
hardly be considered worthy to be
put across the map by the routing
agencies. ** x x
An even more frank and inform
ing system would be that of display
ing the dialogue to the public. To
do this as freely as undraped poses
are displayed on the billboards
would be needless. A placard inside
the theater visible en- route to the
box office might contain a descrip-
ton in plain terms of the most OBJ
| jectionable scene and reproduce
| without circumlocution the most
improper dialogue. Civic authority
might resent this, but civic authority
once compelled the billposter to
paste a date sheet very carefully
across the knees of any burlesque
queen whose lithograph was being
shown to the highways. If the
/ actual performance can maintain its
right to public presentation there
could be no reasonable bar to the
accurate disclosure in advance OF
some OF its material.

The story of the Passion Play" at
Freiburg, Germany, dates back to the
dark ages, when pagen pageants
were the principal diversion of the
Teutonic warriors. The evolution of
these pageants into dramas was but
a step. Gradually they lost their bar

tered around the life of Christ,
as Christianity's influences reached
them.
