UNSUCCESSFUL SHOWS

An article appeared in the Her. aid the other day giving the names of the more than 100 Unsuccessful" legitimate plays which had been seen and heard in New York the past season. A good many of these were regarded by press and public as superior dramatic attractions, but because they failed to draw enough trade to warrant their producers from paying the high rents exacted by the owners Of tho theaters they had to be sent into cold storage. The road" having all but disa ppear- ed. there was nothing left to do. A successful play in New York nova days must not only be . success dramatically and artistically, but it also must be able to draw in enough money 10 pay the landlord.
 It is distressing that the once great American drama has been 70 thor oughly commercialised through the demands made upon it by tho land. lords of tho theater that out of more than 100 first class productions, only half a dozen can outlive . season. And there is no guarantee, under the existing circumstances, that those which survive the sruelling finan- cial demands are necessarily the best , of the lot. The public remains hckle any stage producer can vouchsafe.
 Some Of the unsuccessful show, 1 enumerated got off to good start at Parsons, which remains ono of thu ceuntry's leading theaters. fol premieres. The investment in thes. so-called unsuccessful shows mus have run into the millions. Produc CTS who lose in this manner mus live in hope of getting back theil money when they produce one ol several in succeeding seasons whicl will be able to outlive the com
 mercial demands of Broadway Therefore. when q play becomes hit. it is not surprising that the bss seats top 311 or thereabouts. In sucl "a case the producer is trying {, make killing in order to reim burs
 him for the nops he has in the paa or those he is bound to experience i if he keeps in the game.
 Drama has turned into one of tn
 worlds mist elaborate eamble.

NOT ENOUGH FOR THE TITLE

NOT ENOUGH FOR THE TITLE
 A foreign prince. who wishes t" marry an American girl. or an American girl who wishss to marry . foreign prince. have other thiRss to consider in addition to the love that makss the world 70 round. Thsrs is the cass of Prince Lots D. Bourbon, cousin of the King ot Spain, who seems to bs in the market for some sort of match If the preliminary financial arrangements are satisfactory. In his case. accord ing to a dispatch from rAriA the financial arrangements are decided ly not to his liking. And that is why there has been . little hitch in the proceedings, which trsaten to break up the match altogether.
 Mrs. Mabells Gilman Corey. di- vorced wife of Pittsburgh steel magnate, may obtain . foreign title. but it seems she will have to raise the ante. True. she is said to have agreed to settle fund of $10o.o0o on the prince, which would yield tl,000 . month in pocket money. and to provide q handsome home for themselves. This trifiing settle. ment doesn't appeal to the princes idea of marrying for love or for any other reason. and the bad boy-call- ed "erratic'' by the Parisian journal ists-has failed to be convinced that the deal is to bis advantage.
 Mabells Gilman once was . musi- cal comedy actress. at . time when tho girls from the Floradora Sex tette were all marrying millionaires. But Miss Gilman Of that day was not in Floradora. doing just as we'll in other showa From | financial stand. point, she rose in the world in dig xying fashion. Which once again proves what beauty and | beautiful voice can mean to . girl. But that is only ono type of success" somehow
 We are fashioned enough to pre- fer the other kind.

A CENSORED BOOK-OF.THE- MONTH CLUB
 By samuel BNrliner

don't mind giving the Boston book censors an idea. Or l will hand 1t free to any other group of book censors.
 The censorship organization prob ably (let us hope) have . hard time setting along, financially. We'll. l think have a scheme for putting these babies on a paying basis.
 If the Book of the Month club and the Literary Guild can do a good business by recommending good books, why shouldn't there be a for tune for somebody in knocking bad books?
 In short. why shouldn't the Watch and Ward society examine all the forthcoming books in manuscript form and knock one book q month. and send 1t at . special rate to mem- bers of the Bad Book of the Month club? By becoming a msgnber of such . club you could be assured of receiving. in advance of receipt by the general public. all the out standing tainted books published in this country. and you could be the first to talk about them in your community. When you sat down to play the piano your friends would laugh and say: Don't play the piano. Joe. Tell us about the last bad book you read"
 Now, the Boston censors and other censorship groups are. in effect. per- forming this veery service to book readers-but somebody else is reap- ing the profitA. My plan would sus- tain censorship in Boston and other cities. If the censors arc to popu. larize certain books, why shouldn't the censors get in on the gravy? am sure that the Boston censors. for example. could. instead of banning q book now and then when the whim hits them. easily get their anathema. tixing down to a system and ban or pan one book q month, month in and month out. delivered by the postmar to your door" in plain wrappers. predict . half-million members fir no time at all. The censors sell mos of the best-selling books now. ant this without any desire whatever tt sell books: think how much better , they might do If they went frank, into the ok-selling business. The censors are already dishint the dirt on | small scale; why don they apply biz business methods t, their work and put censorship on l, paying basis?

New Jersey Deaths

We lost interest after inauiFing the price. which as VI remember 1t was around the price of . Fsrd. The music also ceased broaacasting shortly thsreafter. 70 that we as- sumsd the merchant took pity on his nsishbors and decided 1t was bod business to make them angry. But sincs that time we have listened to other music from in front of music shops. and as ws msander. cd past we rather liked the tunes, seeing that they did not last long due to the fact we were on the move. Being in . pleasant mood. we did not 70 any further into the mat ter, not giving the neighbors a thought. as it were.
 This attitude of personal selfish ness received 1ackins up when we read all about how nsighbors of a music shop hsd protested against the so-called noise" emanating from a certain loud speaker. Noting, too. that during the court hearing there was some diversity of opinion as to what constituted noise, we learned that the majority opinion seemed te be that to hear tune once or twice is no affliction to the ears or tho emotions; to hear it over and over again becomes a terrible grind Come to think of 1t. that has been our opinion with respect to soma radio tunes for long time. and months ago we came to the conclu. sion that the broadcasters had bet. ter hunt up some new tunes if the, cared for our interest. But maybe they don't, 70 that's that.
 This system of hooking ur phonosraph records to . loud speaker in front of . music shop however, has one improvement over daylight radio music from distant stations. There is no static. and there can be little doubt that music is intended. not the imitation of { concrete mixer. Rut even this has it bad points for those forced to bt nearby and listen more or less at. tentively. If every music shop ir town followed the same ideal ol public service the downtown section would be . melanse of sound, and we'd hate to think what would hap. pen if two of them got close to. sether.
 The law having been heard from it is now clear that tho grinding out Of moro or less musical sound from | | public loudspeaker is against the peace, dignity and quiet of the community. We can stand . lot ol noiss in these noisy days. but no, too much of the same kind, seems te have been the opinion of the court
