Mr. Camp"" and Her Critic. Mr?. Patrick Campbell, of London, is now in her second week at the Theater Re public, in New York, and this is the first opportunity to examine the attitude of the American public, as expressed in its news papers, toward her. In matters of the theater the opinion of New York Is taken to represent the opinion of the whole coun try, and this is true no matter how humili ating it may be to the "provincials" that believe their taste is as good as the metro politans'. At this time there could be no more interesting theatrical event than the visit of Mrs. Campbell to this country, for she represents conspiculously the freshest Intellectual movement a movement so im portant that it .alarms many worthy, scholarly and influential persons, who bit terly oppose it; enlists the sympathy of other sincere and studious persons, who en thusiastically forward it, and puzzles still other persons, who either half understand and Ignore it or do not understand it at all. This classification might be much more definite, but in the following extracts from New York newspapers' criticisms of Mrs. Campbell and her plays it will be found to cover the situation specifically enough. The movement meant here is called by several names, the best of which is "realis tic." It is felt in dramatic, literary and so ciological branches of thought. In the drama its leading advocates, as play -writers, are Ibsen. Bjornson, Hauptmann, Su dermann, Maeterlinck, Hervleu, Pinero and Echegaray. Each of these men has his own view, point; they may be divided, though somewhat nebulously, as symbol ist?, mysticists and materialists, but in re sult all are realists, for they consider ac tual problems of life and trive earnestly and honestly to heighten Intelligence. Hap pily, Mrs. Campbell's audiences here on this, her first, visit to the United States have been large and enthusiastic, and her commercial prosperity indicates that she hereafter will visit this country frequently. Maybe she is the agent that will start the American drama out of its childish useless ness. Indianapolis playgoers will have an opportunity to judge of Mrs. Campbell's personality when she appears here later in the season. To return to tho classification of New York's critics and their readers hereinbe fore made: First, the large class that re gards the theater as a place of amusement and is puzzled when it takes the time and trouble to interest Itself seriously In the realistic movement. This class is repre sented by Franklyn Fyles, of the New York Sun. He is a writer of exceptional ability, and no column devoted to the thea ter is more interesting In itself than is the one he controls. He is extremely optimis tic and tolerant generally and, as a result, is intensely annoyed by any person that takes the drama so seriously as to seem to Mr. Fyles to be a "faddist." He was ap parently highly incensed when he wrote this bitter paragraph for last Sunday's Sun: "Common sense and uncommon nonsense have characterized the reception of Mrs. Patrick Campbell on our stage. But the foolishness has not amounted to much. There has been little of silly ado. A re markably clever and singular actress has been welcomed and appreciated by dis criminating audiences. She has been rated kindly yet candidly by the newspaper critics at her true worth, abused by none and unduly extolled by none. The non sense printed in connection with her has been confined almost altogether to com ments on the plays which she has chosen to present, and has come from sources habitually too ridiculous to get other than amused attention. 'The most charming parts of "Magda" passed the audience.' writes one who seems to think that noth ing less sharp than a divorce detective's eye can see all there is in Sudermann's plain, simple, crude drama of a woman's debasement, 'as they are likely to pass any ordinary English-speaking audience, unobserved.' The full impudence of that insult could not be made clear without describing cruelly the status of the chap who hurled it at an assemblage far above him to hit. The Republic was filled last Monday night by people exceptional in culture, trained by familiarity with the best stage achievements to appreciate dramatic art or literature, keen to get the utmost meaning of anything peculiar in writing or acting. They will possibly be surprised, but surely not distressed, to learn of this charge that 'Magda,' a play no more subtle than 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' was beyond their comprehension. This silly fellow is not alone in his affectation of superiority over people mentally better endowed and happily free from his painful grotesquery of pose. Some others are like him in as serting abnormal sensitiveness to stage art, but they are, after all. very few to t.iC many who are also, sensible. He is too comic to get angry at. Like a man who learns that the bathtub in his flat is not made to keep coal in, and immediately ex pects to astonish the world with the doc trine that cleanliness is next to Kodliness, this belated discoverer of dramatic things that the rest of us have known a long time is a laughable loon." xxx William Winter, the venerable and highly-respected critic for the Tribune, Is an idealist of the most sober and poetic sort. He is as bitter against the "faddists" as is Mr. Fyles, but. unlike the latter, he is also Intensely dissatisfied with the modern drama generally. It is seldom, indeed, that a dramatist or an actor of this day gets word of approval from the scholarly Mr. Winter, though he always is ready to encourage efforts at interpretation of Shakspeare's works. He does not give Mrs. Campbell credit for depth of comprehen sion, and in his review of her performance .of Sudermann's "Magda" he stated in Makes Hot Breads , Whole. some terms not to be misunderstood his austere lue.i of the realistic movement, as follows: "Mr?. Patrick Campbell brings to Magda the advantages of delicate personal beauty, of a peculiar type, and the expert facility of ripe experience. Tall, lithe, slander, alert In movement, nervous, restless. Im petuous, possessed of an expressive coun tenance and of a voice that is singular rather than sympathetic, apt at posing and proficient In sudden swirls of vehement mo tion and fervent loquacity, this actress readily imparts the impression of a nature that Is peculiar, distinctive, energetic and potential. Excessive sensibility seems to be th predominant attribute of her acting, and this is combined with a certain wild or Firm s-eu-ausorpuon, as oi a nnnu in i which fancy exceeds reason and all volition is governed by impulsive feeling. In the single gay scene of the' drama, that of Magda's arrival home, there was abundant expression of physical exuberance, reckless hilarity and frivolous character, but there was neither sweetness nor humor. Mrs. Campbell seems to have but little comedy, and to be essentially a serious actress in a vein that is bizarre, fantastic and more or less distraught. Her expression of scorn and contempt, in Magda's interview with the licentious charlatan, her utterance of sarcasm in the bitter, icy, mordant mock ery of him, her proud exultation in defeat ing, repelling and degrading him and her impassioned volubility In declaiming about woman's advancement under the sharp dis cipline of sin and sorrow revealed her pow ers at their best, showing her to be a thor oughtly competent performer. In that in tense, spasmodic school which, both in America and England, has attained to such a considerable prominence since drawing room walls began to be stuccoed with din ner plates and poetical literature to be peo pled with 'blessed damosels.' In those pas sionate speeches to Keller (which, intrin sically, are all flummery and fustian) she manifested more power of design than of execution, but enough of fervor to create an Illusion of sincerity; and this, in Magda, is Indeed success. Mrs. Campbell's artistic character and professional rank as an ac tress, however, have long been established, and they are not now to be ascertained. She has gained a large audience in her native land, and undoubtedly she will gain a- large audience here. It might be wished, though, and by many playgoers it will be that her repertory had been composed of better and worthier plnys. After fMagda' the public is again to be regaled with the odoriferous 'Mrs. Tanqueray. the tainted 'Mrs. Ebb smith, the ponderous Mr. Bjornson's 'Be yond Human Power' and Mr. Echegaray'B morbid and excruciating 'Mariana.' Sel dom has there been, all at once, such a prospect of mental dyspepsia. But, pa tience and this, too, will pass away. Mean while it should be said as often has been said hero before that, aside from all ques tion of an actor's personal revelation and success, art ought neither to enforce pre cepts or teach lessonr. Morality will al ways appear, in evervthing. and will al ways take care of itself. The moral drift of a work of art determines Its influence, and, of course, that drift should be noble; but also it should be involuntary. The stage is never less attractive than when it de viates Into ethical analysis and exposition and undertakes to diffuse regulative ad monitions as to the public morals. Such a play as 'Magda' may be needed in Scandi navia; it is not needed In America." xxx Mr. Hapgood, of the Commercial Adver tiser, Is the person so politely referred to by Mr. Fyles as a "silly fellow with a pain ful grotesquerie of pose" and a "laughable loon." For the purpose of this discussion, Mr. Hapgood is the representative of the "sincere and studious persons who enthu siastically forward the realistic move ment." He is an incisive student of the drama, domestic and foreign. His opinion of Mrs. Campbell and "Magda." stated In terms that violently agitated Mr. Fyles, is as follows: "Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who occupies on the London stage a more important posi tion than any other actress of her years or anywhere near them, made her first New York appearance last night at the Republic in 'Magda' before an audience of curiosity, which was divided about her merits. Her experience in America (if, as is to be hoped, she forms the habit of peri odical trips to us) will be much what it has been in her own country. Probably the most intellectual persons of prominence now act ing on the British stage, she is also a wom an whose temperament, appearance, voice and manner are all so strange and vivid that, like all striking and unusual person alities, they stir up strong and opposite feel ings in an audience. The clientele which Mrs. Campbell has made hers in London is composed in a flattering degree of the intel lectual and literary classes. Her hold upon them grows from her gifts as an actress, her boldness and Intelligence as a producer of plays which cannot have a mob success, and the excellence which she always main tains in her company. As a champion of the drama which needs an educated taste for its appreciation she will be seen more clear ly later, especially in 'Beyond Human Pow er' and in 'Pelleas and Melisande.' The high level of her company shows as well in 'Madga as elsewhere. Her own acting showed some of its merits last night, but also a fault which is far from characteristic with her a stralr for effect In the emotional climaxes, which was probably the result of a rather Irresponsive audience and a nerv ous desire to make a prompt impression. She showed last night some of the qualities which justify her position, but she did not do herself full justice. "The most charming parts of the play passed the audience, as they are likely to pass any ordinary English-speaking audi ence, unobserved. The very name of the English version prepares us to expect an inadequate comprehension of the drama. 'Helmath' tells what the play is about; It marks the theme; it is consistent with the elements of the drama in their proper relations; and the name 'Magda singles out one piece of a well-constructed whole and destroys the proportion and the mean ing. Our audience is like the English name. It is interested not in the nice adjustment of character, the many-colored and yet sub dued surface of the picture, but in the con ventional theatrical effects which Suder mann shares with many who never dream of his finer attributes. The delicious first act, for instance, is full of the comedy of truth to nature; the comedy which arises from throwing, in a word, a sentence, a mild, clear light on the minds and hearts and training of human being-s; but this con stant, mature penetration of Sudermann, this play of his wit just below the surface, were not what the audience noticed, or usually notices, In 'Magda.' It laughed at the aunt and at the provincial visiting ladles, and it accepted in silence comedy of infinitely better quality. To the veiled sar casms and ironies of this act Mrs. Camp bell did full justice, as did also all the prin cipal members of her company." xxx An extra point to be made in favor of Mr. Hapgood and those that believe In his point of view and admire his courage in exploiting it, is that he alono seems to have appreciated that the play, not the actress, is the most important matter. One person that saw Mrs. Campbell play "Mag da" in New York complained in a letter to a friend in this city that she "withdrew too far into the play." From afar off. it would seem that Mrs. Campbell believes in just proportion among the characters in per formancethat "the play's the thing." Mrs. Potter Ont of "Ulynses." LONDON, Jan. 21. Mrs. James Brown Potter has resigned the role of Calypso, In the forthcoming production of "Ulysses" at her Majesty's Theater, after a disagree ment with the author of the piece, Stephen Phillips, who objected to her rendering of the part. Mrs. Potter said she wished to play the great scene with all the passion and emotion she was capable. Mr. Phillips wished no emotion or passion. "I have never playetl live scenes in that way," said Mrs. Potter "and I do not intend to alter my method now. Mr. Phillips also said my voice was Inaudible beyond the stalls, so I resigned the part." rtereption to Mia Ilaltlwln. Special to the IniIanaiolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Jan. 21.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES WILL MEET IX A.M'AL SESSION TO-DAY. A Demand to Be Mnde for Representa tion on State Board of Edncatlon Hotel Visitor. The township trustees of the State are preparing for concerted action on a ques tion that has been under consideration for some time. The trustees contemplate mak ing a request to the Governor that a trustee be made a member of the State Board of Education. As the board now stands it is combined principally of col lege presidents and city school superintend ents. The trustees think that one of their number on the board would bring the or ganization into closer touch with the dis trict schools. The question will be dis cussed by the trustees during their stay in the city this week. The annual meeting of the State organ iaation of trustees will be held to-day and to-morrow in the House of Representa tives. It is not understood that the ques tion of placing a trustee on the Board of Education will be taken up In the sessions of the body, but will likely be discussed outside. Many of the trustees arrived at the hotels last night. The opening session begins this morning at 9 o'clock. This will be in the form of a reception by the Governor, who will make a speech. The address will be delivered at 9:30 o'clock. There will be no night sessions. One of the topics to be discussed during the meeting is "School Consolidation." County Superintendent Van Matre, of Delaware county, and Superintendent Wineburg, of Wayne county, will speak on this topic. Ed It. Monroe, a township trustee of northern Indiana, will also deliver an address. Other papers dealing with matters of im portance to trustees will be read. IN LOVE WITH XEW SOUTH. William J. Ilell Tells of the Richness of the Land Near the Gnlf. "I'm In love with the New South and I wouldn't live anywhere else," said William J. Bell, at the Stubbins Hotel last night. "The beauty about living near the gulf in the South." he continued, "is that it is really pleasanter in the summer than it is in the winter. I have seen it hotter right here in Indianapolis in the summer than I ever saw it in the Interior of the South." Mr. Bell severed his connection with a Southern railroad, as land and Industrial agent, a short time ago. His headquarters was at Mobile. In his five years' experi ence in that locality he made up his mind it is a great country. "There are vast tracts of land in Ala bama, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida," he said, "the intrinsic value of which is greater than the market value because these lands are capable of producing a large line of staples as well as fruits and truck, which, on account of the early productive ness of the country, command high prices in the Northern markets. In these States mentioned there are large tracts of land that can be bought for from $3 to $3 an acre. They are termed 'cut' lands. By this Is meant land from which the timber has been removed. These lands are lacking in certain chemical ingredients, which are readily and cheaply obtained, and when these are supplied the lands will raise from two to three crops a year." Mr. Bell said there Is timber land in southern Alabama that, twenty years ago, was bought for from $1.25 to $2.50 an acre and is now worth from $10 to $20 an acre. The land contains j-ellow pine. There are millions of acres in southern Mississippi, southern Alabama, southern Georgia and northern Florida that are not on the mar ket, Mr. Bell said. He stated that General Alger, of Michigan, has purchased a quar ter of a million of acres In southern Ala bama and is erecting a mill that will cut 2'JO,000 feet of lumber daily. CHARLES S. IIERXLY'S OCCUPATIONS. He Is FrnctlcInK Lavr and Pushing; Industrial Enterprises. Charles S. Hernly, former chairman of the Republican state committee, who was in the city yesterday, is a very busy man these days. Besides helping to build an electric railway, being receiver of a shovel factory and acting as secretary of the New Castle Industrial Company, he practices law and also finds time to perform the duties of a precinct committeeman. The railroad In which Mr. Henry is interested is to run from New Castle to Pendleton. Mr. Hernly says New Castle is booming In an industrial way. He tells of the enormous holiday business of the florists of that town, one of whom shipped 6.700 roses during the two days before Christ mas. NEW PLANTS FOR FRANKFORT. An Automobile and a Wire Fence Factory In Prospect. Fred A. Sims, cx-mayor of Frankfort, has had all the mayoralty honor he de sires. The mayor of a town of the size of Frankfort is a busy man because of the fact that the town has no police judge and culprits are brought before the mayor for trial. Mr. Sims thinks Frankfort is one of the prettiest towns in the State, and not slow as a business town. As an in stance of the solidity of Frankfort enter prises it Is pointed out that in the panic of 1S'j3 Frankfort had but three failures. Mr. Sims said last nisht that there is talk of an automobile factory being established at Frankfort and a wire fence factory backed by Frankfort capital is one of th possibilities of the future. Hvansville's IUK Cotton Mill. Charles F. Heilman, president of the Evansville Cotton Manufacturing Com pany, one of the large concerns of the State, wa3 here last night. He said the Evansville mills employ about 680 persons and there are in operation about 40,000 spindles. In the year 1900 the mill had a strike on its hands and it required some time to recover from this. Notwithstand ing this fact, Mr. Heilman said, the con cern enjoyed a good business.

Mr. Edwin Gould appeared on Fifth avenue during the week In one of the ne w French walking gowns. The material w -as a mixed black-and-white goods, giving the effect of gray. The skirt cleared the ground well all around. The upper portion w as laid In shallow box plaits, stitched at the ir outer edges to a little above the knees, and then allowed to fiare. The coat ex tended perhaps five inches below the belt tnd was cut straight round. The l.rir was laid In the center in inward-turning plaits, and there was a flat collar of black-and-white material. The bishop sleeves were not large and were banded into nar row cuffs. Several lines of buttons five or six in number and of metal ran verti cally up and down the back on strips, and through, and under thse the rather wide belt was slipped. The coat bloused a bit ana IR' Armstrong Laundry in front and was closed. A rather laxga flat toque was worn, and handsome furs. Mrs. Norman De R. Whitehouse was lunching at the Waldorf in a black cos tume. The skirt of broadcloth had a slight trail and at the top it was tucked to a depth of about twelve inches. The tucks were rib tucks, and were about an inch and a half apart. The Eton coat was tight fitting, fastened smoothly in front, and was braided all over with fine silk braid. The toque worn was flat and un usually large. It was covered with bunches of small light green and pinkish grapes, which were applied to both crown and brim and fell over the edges of the latter and rested on the hair. At the left there was a bit of pinkish velvet arranged to droop in soft folds. Mr. James Speyer was dining at Sher ry's the other evening in a superb gown of black and gold. The material was black lace. The bodice had a yoke and epaulets of golden sequins overlapping each other like fleh scales. From these epaulets, the sleeve of unllned black lace extended to the wrists. The lower part of the bodice was of the lace, and the skirt had ribbons of the golden scales starting from the belt, where they were narrow, and broadening: out to the hem of the lace skirt, which fell over full flounces of taffeta. The hat worn was a. large black velvet affair. The Xeir Shirtwaists. New York Tribune. The new wash shirtwaists are entirely fascinating, even the simplest. The preva lence of embroidery is noticeable In the white waists, and some of the more elab orate have both lace and embroidery incor porated in the fabric. The yoke has re turned to old-time popularity, and is seen either as an actual yoke or a simulated one In fully four-fifths of the waists shown. One dainty waist, of finest, sheerest lawn, has tiny tucks of graduated lengths form ing a pointed yoke, which fits into an in sertion of guipure that extends more than half way to the waist line. The sleeves are elbow-length, and slightly fulled into bead ing, through which a blue ribbon is drawn and tied in a bow. A two-inch guipure edge finishes the sleeve, and the collar is simply a band of beading with ribbon run through. This low, soft, straight finish for the neck and the elbow sleeve seem to be the established modes in all the fine white waists. It is to be noted, also, that there is the least possible fullness in the front, which porches in an infinitesimal degree. Another feature of the summer styles will be the wide ribbon sash, with short bows and long ends. A hansome made sash, deeply tringed, has plain satin edges about two inches wide, and a white taffeta center four inches wide, which has a warp printed lersian design about twelve Inches deep at each end. The entire sash is nearly four yards long. This design comes in different color schemes. Printed Dresden taffeta rib bons eight inches wide are also sold for sashes, and are to be fringed or edged with chiffon. They Don't Say Tlease New York Evening Sun. It was an American just returned from a coup!e of years' residence in England who was speaking the other day of the different treatment accorded the word "please" there and here. "In England 'please' is a servant's word solely; here gentle-folk use it as well," said the American, and when the other Americans said that they, having traveled themselves, knew that as well as she did, she added: "Ves; but you don't realize it until you've tried to bring up chil dren abroad. At home my youngsters had always been taught to say 'please.' In England I soon found out that they must'nt say it; if they did it stamped them as un derbred. Such difficulty as I had eradicat ing the careful teaching of generations! And now that we've returned to .America the old-school conservatives look askance at my children and observe sententlously, 'Those little girls don't say " 'please." But sooner or later all parents in this country will follow suit and 'please' will become a back number, just as a good many years ago 'ma'am' and 'sir became back num bers." The Book-IJorroTf er. Philadelphia Times. Two women met at the soda fountain and gushed. "Do come up and see my books," said one. "I have a new Victor Hugo, and a crushed levant Dickens and a 'Thistle' edition of Stevenson, and a half-morocco Pepys, and oh! Just everything. I have them beautifully arranged, so that now the library is the show room of the house. I just won't lend my books, though; I tell my friends that I cannot do it; the books cost too much for general handling, and a broken set would break my heart. I. won't lend to my best friend. By the way, have you read 'The Cavellers?' I'm just wild to read it, but I hate to spend money on current novels, they're so evan escent. Did you say you had it? Oh, won't you lend it ?" She paused, looking guiltily into the other woman's eyes. The other woman said nothing. The stillness was thick enough to cut with a knife. Then the absurd injustice of the proposi tion dawned on the asker. and they both burst into laughter. Candidate for Peaee Justice. Almanzor R.

No Change in Programme. WASHINGTON, Jan, H.-The apparent conflict In the dates mentioned in the Wash ington and Berlin programmes for the re ception of Princo Henry Is explained here by the statement that the Berlin authorities had before them when they made their statement only a general and tentative pro gramme which was abandoned a day or two ago in favor of an arrangement that in volves two trips of Prince Henry from Ne York to Washington, ami the launch of the Meteor on Feb. 23. The committee ia charge of arrangements tried hard to draw up an itinerary that would relieve the prince of the necessity of making two trins between New York and Washinston, but It has so far been unable to plan any other arrangement that would not involve aa abandonment of social functions in either this city or New York. Th? latest pro- gTamme was cabled to Berlin yesterday afternoon and the President is awaiting the approval of Emperor William and Prince Henry. If Berlin decides the original pro gramme shall bo adhered to, the committee here will amend the programme to corre spond, havinc in mind the fact that there are certain features, such as the day of launch, that may be regarded as fixed dates as reasons beyond their control.
