! summon strength OF character to
resist the passing temptation, that it
is easy to wish she might have been
! provided with more attractive role
/ for the exposition OF her undoubted
talents. Her play repelled sympathy
and left no trace OF idealism caicu-
| OF rough drama, Mr. Al Woods has
gone further than in any of his
previous presentations, and so far
as local indications are concerned,
without the solace OF crowded thea
ters to bring balm to the moral sac
rlhce.
| The interest shown in the coming
presentation Of The Rivals" for all
too brief a stay is an assurance that
the standard drama stiH has a fol-
lowing despite the recent effort to
dominate it with psychopathic eccen-
| tricities. Sheridan is content to deal
wittily with social complications.
without going far into individual
complexes.
The tour OF "The Rivals" has
caused a great rustling among old
playbills. At this time, the one play
will suffice for complete program
but on the occasions of its earlier
American presentation there would
have to be farce to conclude the
bill or even a musical comedietta,
with the players in the drama reap
pearing to participate III lyrical cpl
sodes. James Powers might adapt
himself to an arrangement OF this
kind, but it is improbable that most
of our dramatic players could be in
duced even to consider such a thing.
Boston scrapbooks have afforded
genial reminiscene OF a performance
of The Rivals, or A Trip to Bath"
followed by the burletta, The
Chaste Salute" the latter title i'm
plying, no doubt, very gay sugges-
tion of audacious piquancy. The
performance began at pm. and ad-
mission to the parquette and dress
| circle was Is cents. A seat in the
second circle, later called the gallery,
could be had for Is cents. All this
was in 1916. Those palmy days were
doubtless delightful in the matter of
stage quality and pecuniary economy,
| but they required terrific amount
OF time. Mr.. Ziegfeld, with all his
opulence of spectacular display, will
never be able to restore such a time
schedule. The public is patient, but
it would mutiny at such long hours
as these.
Among the "reminiscences of that
old period are number of the
songs then popular which might
prove OF value to the Society
of Composers and Publishers when
they have exhausted the classics
in their search for melodic sug-
gestion. champagne Charley" reck-
less anthem of conviviality, might
be resurrected as Bootleg Billy"
The Bloomerite Belle" has on its
cover a picture of three young
ladies with large conquettish hats,
skirts almost half way to the knee
and ample trouserings of light ma
terial tied at the ankles. The saucy
operetta and the bloomers represent
a very slight start in our art
progress. 1t is simply wonderful
what Time has been able to accom-
plish!
