half of the fun you ou and I Iget get out of the theater IB In talking it over after afterward afterward afterward ¬
ward Of course dear Its very pleasant to go with you once a week but that thatis thatIs thatis

occasionally My plan for fo economy is this We can only afford two good goodeeats goodfleats goodseats
seats to the playhouse every week Instead of buying both for the same house housewell housewell housewell
well patronize two theaters theatersyou you go to one I to the other and then we can caneach caneh caneach

Away back in the Dark Ages or Just about the time that the darkness was waslif waslifUS waslifthig
lif lifUS tlrtg from the ages the theater was born under the auspices of the church churchand churchand churchand
and for long years oars remained the churchs handmaiden Then licentiousness licentiousnessand
and folly and worse crept in and a venal theater promised at one time se seriously seriowly seriouly
riously to threaten the Influence of the church In ElI Elizabeths nbeths time the church churchbegan churchbegan churchbegan
began to use the stage again and undoubtedly the Moralities did much to help helpthe helpthe helpthe
the theater regain Its influence on thinking people With the Restoration and andthe andtho andthe

Avorst 0I8t in life instead of the best and so eb it has been now up now down until untilour untilour untilour
our day da We e have no need to despair of the theater so long as In one decade decadeIt
It can produce such plays as Everyman Ever man The Servant In the House and now nowThe nowThe nowThe
The Passing of the Third Floor Back together with dozens of others whose whosetrend whosetrond whosetrend
trend of thought has ha been entirely wholesome and uplifting upliftingI
Of I quite agreajvlth you ou said John Jo n and ag a the producers of plays come to tosee tosee tosee
see that the people are eager and willing to patronize such plays as the one you yousaw yousaw yousaw

S discussion turned to the play John had seen I see that some ot the thenewspaper thenewspaper thenewspaper
THE rHB newspaper critics handled It rather severely said his wife wifeYes wifeYesi wifeYes
Yes Yesi and yet though the play was not well acted and showed a anumber nnumber aS anumber
S number of grave faults In construction I should not say that It was wasaltogether wasaltog wasaltogether
altogether altog ther a a bad play I confess that I think we are having altogether too toomany tooDlan toomany
many Dlan plays based on crimes and criminals a trend due no doubt to the suc suctees sucess sueess
tees ess of Sherlock Holmes and Raffles plays which were frankly storybook storybookaffairs storybookatialrs storybookaffairs
affairs They seemed to strlke such a popular chord chordthat that some of our play playwrights playwriChts playwrights ¬
wrights have got the Idea that we the public are really Interested in the thenether thenether thenether
nether world of crime I think It was never the crime that theatergoers wore wereinterested woreJnterested woreInterested

Not much dear but I could easily easn see how My Man could be made Into a areally areally areally
really vital and interesting play pla What chance the play might have had was wasspoiled wasspotted wasspoiled
spoiled by the ovoranxiousness of the players There was no repression they theyinsisted theyInsisted theyinslsted
insisted on acting all over the stage and their voices were always pitched so sohigh sohigh sohigh
high that when they had a particular1 point to make they would have had to tohave tohave
4 have megaphones to emphasize It properly and make that point stand out If IfI ItI IfI
I had a company of players like that I think I should give them all one night nightoff nightoft nightoff
off and take them to see a man like you saw Mr ForbesRobertson Just to toconvince toconvince toconvince

There was some talk about the other shows In town Luckl1 Luckily said Mrs MrsBroadview MrsDroadvlew MrsBroadview

who saw it said that it was wasJust wasjust wasjust
Just as funny as ever Of course the main idea of the three men who look so somuch somuch somuch
much alike that It causes daushs aus6s all the complications and the fun is borrowed di directly directly directly ¬
