A Fine, Modest Artist.

THAT sterling actor Ferdinand Cots
chalk, who appears as a featured
player in David BelaSco's Tonight or
Never" is beginning his forty-fourth
year before the footlightS in America,
record no doubt unique in the annals
OF the theater.
Since Mr.. Gottschalk made his first
appearance In America in Toronto in
1887, he has been one of the few actors
always in demand. In fact theatrical
season in New York is not complete
without Mr.. Gottschalks name being
mentioned prominently. He has been
seen in the support of all of the famous
stars Of the various periods.
Who's Who" in the theater, listing
Mr.. Gottschalk's glamorous career, en-
ployS almost an entire page of very
small type to follow him through the
years of the Fitch and Pinero dramas.
He was great favorite in those glorious
old days, and Just as great q favorite
today, perhaps more so. with those who
know and appreciate theater art

affairs permitted to go on? "The
plays the thing" yes, but are
those who select the play always
competent or conscientious in
their selection? Romance is the
joy of youth, and youth will be
served. But youth is not Sordid;
youth is not unclean in heart or
mind, no matter where or when
you take it. Laughter is the most
beneficial tonic in the world OF
remedies for human Ills. 1t routS
depression, baniSheS care and
tunes the soul to a livelier, hap
pier life. But there are other
ways of exciting it than with
risque situations or ribald witt
cismS. Tragedy also may have
it's benef1cent side, but even trag-
edy need not be tied down to the
eternal triangle. These are timid
hints to the playwright in search
of a theme, and if the modern
maker of plays will kindly take
the hint, his cooperation may
help greatly in the comeback"
notion that appears to be agi-
tating the world at the present
time.
IF further hint or suggestion be
needed, it is humbly submitted
that the delightful reminder of
Thackeray's vanity Fair" given
by Mrs. FiSke'S admirable por-
trayal of Becky Sharp during the
week, illumines the thought that,
If the modern playwright be der
elicit, or exhausted in inspiration,
there are scores of fine old plays
Of the days long vanished whose
revival may bring world of Joy
to the heart of the old-timerS, and
doubtless the vast storehouse of
literature may serve to provide
material for plays yet undevel-
oped which would help to fill the
theater both with art and with
audiences. Times have changed
and tastes with them, we are told,
but If the theater cannot keep
pace with them in vigor and quail
ity, why not give up the effort and
go back to the things that used
to tickle the fancy and warm the
cookies of the ancient heart.
Maybe human nature hasn't
changed so much after all, and
maybe it will be discovered that
in some things at least there is
a latent love for the old that re-
fuses to respond to the rhythm
and the discordant ecstasy of the
new.
"THE Freiburg Passion Play"
a profoundly impressive
presentation of "the old, old
story" of the gospels of the New
Testament, by the traditional
group of players from Germany,
headed by Adolf FaSsnacht, who
is the Christus of the cast, drew
many to the Washington Audi
forum during the past week, and
few who witnessed it were not
deeply impressed with its rever-
entail sincerity. The worldly OBJ
servation was overheard, more
than once during the week, how
ever, that for a city aggre-
eating a half million in popu-
lation, the holy drama failed to
excite the interest usually aroused
by big foot ball, wrestle or a
league base ball game. Some, it
appears, disapproved the presen-
tation as "a commercial PROPOSE
tion," and others for various other
reasons. Clergymen and church
people generally have commended
the performance and have de-
clared that its presentation stirred
them to the depths. Against the
rivalry of a host Of modern at
fractions, however, the great story
of the Bible may be said to have
fairly. only fairly. held its own.

A Dance UNIQUE.

WILL MAHONEY, one of the stars Of

sents one of the most unusual acts that
has been introduced on the stage during
the past generation.
1t is dance on a xylophone, a spe-

size, but exactly like one played in the
regular way. With routine dance steps
Mahoney produces jingling melodies
with his flying feet and carries the air
as well as a skilled performer might,
playing with his hands.
Mahoney practiced with this act for
six years before showing 1t on the stage.

York. 1t is said to be novel show,
devoid of the clap-trap common to
most thrillerS, land 1t never cheats"
1t tells a straightforward story and the
entire action takes place in a moving
subway train. 1t is acted by cast Of
about 40.
The novel setting is an exact replica
of New York subway car. This car
moves, rattles past local stations and
makes the express stops. Passengers
crowd in and depart at every stop.
Lights blink and through the open
windows you see passing trains. In this
novel stage setting you see all types,
the loud-voiced small merchant, flap
perS and SheikS, and the motley crowd
that uses the subway. Into this crowded
car comes two Wall Street men and the
wife of one of them. There Is q
scuff1e at Times Square, a shot is fired
and one of the Wall Street brokers is
killed. The police arrive, hold every
one in the car, and then comes Inspec-
tor Hammer, the role played by Leo
Curley. He is suave individual, plain
spoken and adroit at his profession,
He suspects he has been summoned on
an errand that any uniformed COP
ought to be able to handle, but when q
medical examiner appears he finds he
has firSt-rate murder mystery on his
hands. Before he solves it another man
loses his life. This all happens in front
of the audience.
The humor of the piece, and it starts
many hearty laughs, is not just dragged
in, but Is part of the story.

months ago.
He is credited with Cleaning up"
Walsenburg, near here, and with many
single-handed raids. Kearney ordinarily
worked alone and rarely asked the aid
of either city or county officers in
making arrests.

and was decorated for bravery under
fire. He is survived by a widow and
two small daughters.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

A common situation Is that of baby
sleeping with his mother, and sometimes
Eve hate to say) with both parents.
How any baby can possibly rest COM
fortably huddled between two adults,
covered with their smothering comforts
and blankets, Is past comprehension
Even the mothers admit that the baby
WakenS four or i've times at night. One
mother said she nurSed the baby each
time he cried; another said the father
shook it until it went to sleep (what a
peaceful sleep that would be after a Is
minute shakingD, and altogether things
are far from ideal in either household.
Sometimes an older child cries at
night, and to soothe it the mother
brings him into her bed, only to initiate
habit which becomes so fixed that
the child refuses to sleep anywhere else.
No such habit could get started If the
parents reSolutely abstained from tax
ing the child in their bed for any part
OF the night. There is no possible ex-
cuse for It, The baby should sleep in
his own little bassinet or large clothes
basket from the day of his birth. He
can be made far more comfortable with
bedding suited to his size and adjusted
TO his own particular needs. At first
than stout pillow stuffed firmly into
the bottom Of the large square clothes
basket, and baby needs neither pillow
nor springs. II he Is far away from his
mother. he will not demand to be
nursed every time he opens his eyes, so
the bad habit of waking repeatedly to
be fed can never start.
The baby Of Q months or / year needs
crib, for he is too large to sleep In a
clothes basket comfortably. The crib
should have high sides with narrow
bars. through which the baby can by
no possible gymnastics thrust his head.
The disadvantages of sleeping with
the parent are clear enough. There are
no disadvantages whatever to sleeping
alone. Baby can be kept just as warm
or as cool as his comfort demands at
any time Of year. He is not disturbed
each time his parents turn over, and
his undisturbed sleep will teach him
early in life tol go most of the night
without being fed--a habit he cannot
! learn too soon, both for his own benefit
| and that of his mother.
In homes where beds are limited and
bed space at a premium 1t Is far better
Tor children to sleep in baskets OF
trundle beds which push under the
large beds in daytime, or even on 8
mattress on the floor, than to share the
bed of any adult.
