n short, give me some of that stirring stuff
. t n used to write. A. P. W.
. Ed Howe doesn't know anythinp about poetry- at least
that II our gtttM?but he knows what he hates. "The Independent"
irritates Mr. Howe, "could anything be more refreshing than tho
double rhymes that skip through a song of Dobson's, or crisper
than a last line of Prior's, or a pun of Locker's, or easier and
friendlier than Praed'i 'Every-day < haracters'?" asks "The Inde
; ?." "Truly there is nothing in rhyme and little enough in
reason thai to 'he mood of these sun-filled days than
such tril
"I venture to sny." Old Ed ventures, in "E. V?'. Howe's Month?
ly," vo say, "the writer in 'The Independent' does not do what he ad
to do; he wrote to give the notion of profound liter?
ary culture, anil nine out of ten persons who read this fine nonsense,
instea tempt for it. will feel ashamed that they know
r.othir.i? or Prior, or Locker, or Praed. For we have all
been brougl ' -'> to venerate fine nonsense in every form."
"I r two years old." continues Ancient Ed, "and have
ibeen s . 1er all my life. I am something of a collector of
book-.. And I declare in this public way without a blush that I have
never h n, or Prior, or Locker, or Praed. And,
..e never heard of these writers except in fine non
M?? . ' ted above; never have I heard these writers
:.* ion. And I confess again that the writer in
?The I t' has not caused me to wish to read Dohson, or
Prier or Praed: on the contrary, I shall avoid them be?
cause of the recommendation quoted above. . . .
ay I do not care for Dobeon, or Prior, or Locker, or Praed.
You n now I know I do not, since I confess I have never
read them. If these writers were important, I would have heard
- the course of my long life; if they were worthy
of acq the people I have known would have mentioned
presence? The people should quit being bluffed by the
of fine nonsense: let that which is above our
tin there."
If Mr. Howe has not read Dobson, Prior, Locker and Praed?
and we believe him, for a more truthful mar than Old Ed never
jpillji ?.. ild better do so; and tl.en write a Note of
Disavowal?or as he would be more likely to do, a Message of Ri?
lle:-.'.. -. And ;? ''. Dobson'l poems in their way are as important
as thai . s, highly American work, "The Story of a Country
Town" by K. W. Howe, which we advise even our Dobson-loving
ind read.

"Just Boy?" is a tentiraental journey,
Travellers who nursue --irh a .?
?BOe danger? tenfold greater than
those which beset Christian in hi.?
"Pilgrim's Progress." A sentimental
traveller must follow n path which is
narrow but not straight On i
side of this footway are deep pit sad
these arre fille,1 with mush.
Almost invariably travellers fall into
the pits, and although they are some?
times rescued, they invariably come
out with ears, eyes and mouths oh,
particularly their mou'hs stuffed with
"a mother's love" or something equally
sticky.
The only escape for the sentimental
traveller is to balance himself step by
-top dowt: a thin red line in the centre
of the footpath. This lin.? is callea
sincerity. For playwrights it la a line
of life or death. The third act of
".lust Boys" stuck to the line sure
footedly yesterday and those who came
to sweat remained to cry.
Katherine Rrowning Miller and Al?
iena Kanka have succeed'.! In taking n
play to court and coming out with
their self-respect intact.
A courtroom scene without an cmo
I tional actresa is In itself a triumph, but
! the big act of "Jurit Boys" has more
\ than this negative merit. Splendidly
written, the act affords Muster Mac
Macomber an opportunity for a re?
in irkably impressive portrayal of the
enotiona of a youngater under the
? of bit first appearance in court.
The actor ia eleven rears old in the
piar?*] and out aa well, To us it was
'. little short of amazing to find so much
; sincerity in a child.
Much of the boy's success in the
' scene ia due to the skill of Milton Sills,
? who plays the part of the judge of the
j juvenile court. Acting with rare re
' straint, Mr. Sills heightens the contrast
t of emotional reaction in man and boy.
! The child is in court on a charge of
theft, and he has his burst of fright
mid sorrow. His grief is the unbridled,
: copious, wet ?orrow of a boy. Later,
! when the judge discovers that the little
1 culprit is h il own .son. :' is the man's
| turn to suffer, and the actor makes him
I suffer much, but all the time he keeps
I a tight rein upon himself, as men do
j and actors don't.
I*, took a bit of a coincidence to fetch
! the lad up before his fu'.her. but it was
! not an excessive one, sud the recogni?
tion came naturally enouirh. It is a .??rap
'of childhood doggerel whicn convinces
the judge of his s?i?'s identity. .? -
verse ha? been introduced in the
: act, It comes with much dramatic force
1 at the critical pom? of ?he play. If the
?cene does not ,- inder your ribs
i- jfht here you are ittfferfng from hard?
ening of the heart string? and should
1 not see another play for at least six
| months.
Much hns boon ?aid now about the
' third art. and we think it is only fair
to put the emphasis there. The scene
I in the juvenile court is so good that I
I critic is Justified in overlooking many
; manifest faults of the other acts. The
j tir?t act in particular il weak, slow
and colorless. The second II inter it
I ing enough, but the fourth and !..
conventional. Th:? Il to be expected.
We don't remember having seen a good
fourth act all sen?on.
Milton Silla, us William Livlngaton,
earned the honors of the play. In our
opinion, but there were others in the
cast who did well. Erneat Truer, as
Puffy H?tten, a touch BOJ
ing most of th,. time, although his
s..!f-consciou*ne?s marred
H was interesting to note tl l
of the kindly warning of the judge when
va Puffy one more chance the boy
came to a bad end. In the last srene
-in the ?et of Rttemptin-? to
rar extra? of "The F.vening Tele
grnrrl."

'he stage before, but that I? all th?

the part, should be

comparison with "Yo-ing Amer?

lelinquency, "Just Boys" can
the -est. Its court 1? ever so
much more busine.??like thon that of
Mr, Bollard, and the serious treatment
realizes th? dramatic po??ibilifiea of
erne to a fuller extent than the
iketehy, humorons picture afforded by
"'i oung America."
"Just Boys" marks a ?tep. we think,
:n 'he progress which the American
drama i agi t to *?ke toward sincerity.
W;*h "?11 it? faults it give? a splendid
? -?? built on a vital subject of present
