New York, Jan. Eft doesn't do

ure. or nature too close to New York.
They mix like potassium tossed
into water.
Poets are not supposed to know
such things and, since Harry Kemp
is a poet, he can be excused for the
experiment about to be disclosed.
In years agonc this Kemp was be-
ing wooed by nurse who used q
calliope, rather than q Tyre. He be-
came one Of the sights Of Greenwich
Village. Sightseeing bus drivers
would point him out.
But time sped by and Kemp's
waistline was not as poetic as in yes
teryear. He had settled down to the
status of recognized poet. Village
rentals would no longer fit poets
purses. He organized a colony and
moved over to the East Side. There
the Poets Thcater" was started.
Recently drama of the great
west was presented. 1t was entitled
"Thc Cowboy" Tho cowboys were
recruited from the great closed
spaces where studios are studios, and
small, and not particularly strong.
They were doughty band of bucka-
roos, these young Russian artists,
pianists, violinists, and what-have-
you.
Doubtless they were as cowboy a
looking bunch Of cowboys as one
could find in days walk through
the tenement district. The trouble
was that thew weren't particularly
familiar with cows.
And Kemp insisted on realism. A
herd of cows---count them four Cor.

cows had to cross the stage.
As every good westerner knows. a

any plainsman in an audience,

The Vanishing Road"
New York Times)


Speaking recently at Harvard, Jane Cowl pre-
dicted that in another dozen years there would be
no spoken drama. Tie idea is not nearly SO
wild as It may seem. The official organ of the
Actors Equity Association presents figures to show
that Broadway producers losing the road
Fifteen years ago there were 1,540 theatres open
to productions on tour; today there are only GA.
Since the day of the old stock companies the major
portion of managerial profits had been made on tour.
AS Equity puts it, New York the shop win
dow" but the road was "the counter over which
theatrical goods were sold" In order to give the
impression Of success Broadway, managers FREE
quenty extended the original until the net re.
suit was considerable defcit-whch they relied on
the road to make good. For the same reason they
charged moderate prices for tickets. Today when 4
production ceases to pay expenses it goes at once
to the road-cr, frequently to the storchousc.
The rlaygoer may observe the difference in the
price Of his evenings entertainment He pays for
all he gets-and frequently for much that
he ceases to be playgoer. There is still con-
siderable number of those who lay the golden egg,
but the mortality is considerable and increasing.
1t is not all the fault Of the manager Railway
rates. hotel bills and actors salaries almost
double what they were. Radio keeps many at home.
Moving pictures have taken heavy toll. The ROAD
manager who fill his house at prices ranging
upward to 81 refuses to take chance a spoken
drama-for which, win or lose, lie will get only half
the receipts. AS the number Of available houses
becomes smaller, the Jumps the road become
longer, greatly adding to the expense account. Yet
Equity alleges against the managers serious errors>
BY retaining galleries and charging moderate prices
for the seats they might have held large part OF
their old patrons. BY integently combining their
forces. they might have cut down expenses that
now ARE duplicated and Implicated" Especially
they might have maintained their road following by
sending out good companies instead of palming off
a lot of secondrate actors "the original Broad
way cast Equity thinks that there is still time to
recover lost ground: but wonders. In New
York State there are only twelve open theatres,
where in 1916 there were eightyfve. In Texas
sixty open theaters have dwndled to virtually

What Is Lesson of These Gin Parties?

The city Of Cleveland Heights Ohio suburb OF
Cleveland is very highly exercised just at present
because certain revelations that have been made
y concerning party which number OF high school
boys and girls held
Synthetic gin flowed rather freely at this little
affair, and after it two grls-both under
16-ran away from home because they feared the
seedlings their parents would give them when the
party came to light.
There have been the usual explanations of sur
prise and horror, from the best people in town. the
usual holding up of hands, the usual wonder what
this world is coming to- sort of talk And, in truth
it rather bad situation that was uncovered
But what's the answer?
The superintendent OF schools of the suburb just
about hit the nail the head when, asked what
action he intended to take. he remarked that the
whole thing matter for the parents to
settle than for the school authorities.
Very true. But, as is often the these days,
the parents awoke to their responsibility after the
damage had been DONE
We have too much fallen into the notion that
bringing up child in the paths of decency and
honesty is a matter for which the state should be
responsible. If you don't believe it, consider the
moving picture censor boards that practically all OF
states have installed.
What has been the reason for these censorship
boards? Why. have protested that certain parts
chdren'-and SO, instead Of waking up and seeing
to it that children didn't attend shows that
weren't good for them, passed the buck to the
state and made the responsible.

on what may and may not be done at such places.

Age Needn't Blush at Youth

II is really too bad, but those elderly gentlemen
who blush whenever they think about the ways
OF our young people at it again. retired
clergyman in Cleveland rises to remark that Amer
icas youth is degenerating into set of abby, soft
carefree, constituencies - oh, well. you know the
customary epithets.
There's nothing so very new about this sort of
thing From time immemoral it has been the Gus
tom for the graybeards to take periodical wallops
at flaming flaming youth. Always the cry
of what is the younger generation coming to-" is
herd in the land.
Back in 1915 and 1916 it was the same. Our young
men were assailed freely in press and pulpit as
lacking the serner virtues that should characterize
the free born American male. 1t pretty gener
ally agreed, among the viewers with alarm, that
Americas young men weren't what they used to be.
Then came 1917 and the war
What happened?
The giddy. spineless young men, who had seemed
to care for nothing but and pleasure proved
that they could stand their share of pain and dan
ger and hardship and fatigue and darkness as well
as any. The rant OF the gray,beard faded and was
heard no when the barrage lifted at ST. Mihel
and when the destroyers slicing through the
cold North Sea their dark hunt for death
Even the b.indes of us saw, and for all, that
our young men, no les; than half century ago,
were the proper stuff Of which to build nations.
But now the war is And the old, old cry
is being heard again.
What is there to it, anyway?
Nothing whatever
Our young men-and young women--arc only
hope. We older ones-what hope do we ho.d out?
None at ALL We have learned to bury ideals and
fine impulses and noble hopes beneath layer of
caution and conformity. No splendid daring c.lal
lenge to hide bound tradition and deadening custom
can be expected from 1t is for the young to do
So let's have holiday from this eternal criticism
of our youth. The young and in Amer
lea today not whit than the young men
and women Of 20 so years ago. Probably they're
better Lay off.

Victims Say Pair Robbed
Se Them Of Valuable
Isl Furs and Rugs.

Within an hour after George and
William Williamson, Houston ped
dlers, reported to police that they had
been held up and robbed Of fur rugs
and coats valued at $500, Chief of
Detectives Sam Street and Detective
George Stendebach recovered the loot
and arrested the auto bandits.
The victims reported that while on
their way from the city hall, where
they obtained a peddler's license, to
the Southern Pacific railway station,
two men in a sedan pretended to be
prospective purchasers of the rugs and
coats. They said they got in the car
with the men and after they reached
Breckenridge park one man drew a
pistol and forced them to give up their
wares and get out Of the car.
Detectives found the car parked on
Main avenue. Leaving Detective Cap
tain Walter Harvey at the car, they
went to the home Of a suspect and
recovered the loot. The wife Of the
man suspected was arrested and few
minutes later two men were arrested
entering the car. A pistol was taken
from one. Both were identified ty
