OP tho many theories of dramatUi
criticism nono la bo forctgnjto America
"the Trench method for which Prof
Brander Matthews lias lately irmdo nn
urgent plea. Very thoroush critical opin
ion may be a difficult thing to render
tho day after the performance, but tho
Public lari't made at all happier by re
ducing "flrst-nlsht" reviews to mere
catalogues of plots, plojcrs and ap
plause. The managers like It. Thoy
tried to establish It In New York, but
tvltli little bucccss. Tho newspapers
realised that their readers wero used
to something more and wanted It.
Tho other half of Professor Matthens'
proposition has more to be said for It
tho critical consideration of a play at
the end of the week, when Ideas have
had more time to digest. The practical
dlGlculty thero Is that the reader once
more rebels. He likes such "second
tbotights on first nights." But he want'
first of all a criticism on Tuesday. The
Saturday dramatlo column can only be
e. sort of depository for dramatic after
thoughts. .There does seem, however, to be room
for Improvement In one direction. The
policy so often pursued in cities outside
Now Tork of reviewing all of Monday's
openings on Tuesday, with various mem
bers of the paper's staff called In to help
out the regular reviewer, gives no con
tinuity to the criticisms. The reader can't
learn the liking and antipathies, tho per
sonal bias of a particular man, and,
following his opinions of arloua plas.
learn to make allowances for the differ
ent ways In which different sorts of
pieces will strike him and the difference
In point of view between the critic and
the reader.
To avoid this difficulty the reviewer of
the Eeninq LBDODit purposes hereafter
to "cover" personally every new piece
comlnR to the major theatres of Phila
delphia. Thus, If there are more than
two openings on a Monday the piece of
first Importance will be reviewed In
Tuesday's paper, the second In Wednes
day's, and so on. Where a play can
be seen in one of the neighboring cities
before coming net It may evfn be re
viewed In Monday evening's paper prior
to its production at a Philadelphia
theatre,
Sardou's Double Curse
The Bardou of "Dlplomao," at the
Broad, Is under what Uncle Ephralm
called "a double-twisted ourse " Enter
.tatang as he may often be In the hands
jifc so Rood a cast, he is not what he once
was. "Modernisation" haa diluted the
drama with watery passages of humor
that compare pretty badly with the tense
moments In holding the interest of the
audience. A pleco that was decidedly (n
one ?styIe"-compe!Hng, if rather tricky
theatrical eidteroent-has been turned
I Into a mongrel which is neither fish.
fJ AM fowj, nor good red blood
Iteuuceo. inus in intensity, Bardou has

! Tho Charm of Gillette
Just what is it this thing that makes
such men as William Gillette and II. B.
Warner so charming to the ladles, or at
least, to the joung ladles? They aren't
strapping. They don't languish. They
haven't nn Obmplau calm or an Apollo
like beaut j And ct they attract. They
have an undeniable "follow Irg" among
the fair sex, who mako the theatre what
It Is.
Ii It perhaps nn nlr of Indifference
which they cultivate? A deliberate re
fusal to put themselves out? They go
ahead at their work with obliviousness
to the rules, a certain modest, but deter
mined satisfaction with being Just them
selves that Is undeniably refreshlng
Perhaps the ladles like them because
they seem bo efficient, because they sug
gest that they can challenge nnd conquer
the handsomest of heioes that comes in
their way.
What the Theatre Needs
Major Mltchel made the rather amaz
ing statement to an association ot man
agers and actors tho other day that
he was glad to sea 'so cohesive a
body of business men." .V good many
other people have abused the American
theatre, for being too much ot a busi
ness. As, a matter of fact, the "com
mercial" manager has never been enough
of a business man. The theatre, as it
Is organized here. Is not a business, but
a gamble. And the managers are not
scientific manufacturers and salesmen,
but something a little nearer fly-by-night
exploiters of some novelty at a fair
The American theatre Is one big risk.
Navigating the North Hea with a cargo
of Denmark eggs Is a gllt-edecd propo
sition compared with producing plajs
over here. The touring system and the
long-run Idea make either a huge loss
or a huge profit an absolute certainty,
"lhe cost of putting on plays Is tremen
dously exaggerated over the stock com
pany system of Germany. The chances
of finding patrons for them, on the other
hand, are reduced, while the number of
audiences necessary to success Is ma
terially Increased,
The American manager Is not attempt
ing to remedy this. He did not study
that theatre system of Germany when
ha had the chance. lie la not even mak
ing tho best of a bad bargain by intro
ducing real business efficiency Into his
work-. Almost any expense Is readily

And somo men even Imaclno that by
spending $30,000 on a singla production
they somehow Insure Its success.
Courngeous Tyler
There was one manager who plaved the
great gamble finely. Ho didn't try to
bo tho business man, and he Is now bank
rupt. But tho quality of tho gambler
that ho showed was something that the
businesslike manager needs for his art's
salto and something the average plunger
lacks courage to venture Into new fields,
To Mr Tjler and his firm, the Llebler
Company, America owes more novel pro
ductions, more departures from the ac
cepted nnd, consequently?- more real stim
ulation, than to any other manager.
He had his big commonplace successes,
his "Christian," "Alias Jimm) Valen
tine," his "Grumpy"; but even In them,
there was alvvajs something a little
fresh either In play or production. And
from Mr Tjlcr came "Pomander Walk."
"Disraeli," "The Garden of Allah," "The
New Sin," the tours of Mine Slmone, of
Cjrll Mnude, of the Irsh Plajers, "A
Man's Friends," "General John Regan."
and the disastrous productions this year
of "Twelfth Night" nnd "Tho Garden
of Paradise," with Joseph Urban's re
markable eccnerj. U was characteristic,
this last venture Into the "new stage
craft" which brought him low.
But Mr. Tyler still has his ambition
and his talents. It not his fortune. He
cannot be allowed to remain Idle. TVhat
a pity he cannot take his proper placo
as the director of some courageous ven
ture like the New Theatre, but on sound
business lines!
Shakespeare "Made la Germany"
Without doubt It was Germany that
made Shakespeare her own. She gave
him productions at the hands of her
many masters of the theatre nnd appre
ciation from repeated audiences that he
never got In England or America. Con
sequently It was no wonder that, after
dropping the English pieces for a time
from his repertory In Berllm Relnhardt
waa forced to restore them by the em
phatic answers he received to the query
which he sent broadcast, aaklng should
he restore Shakespeare to the stage "as
belonging to the great Intellectual field
we Oermans have conquered and do not
wish to lose?" ,
The German Chancellor, von Blthmarin
Hollwlg, answered for many more;
"He la a lunatic who squanders his
property when hostile forces all around

htm are fighting ngalnst htm. That Is
what Germany would be doing did she
give up Shakespeare, who even today Is
her dramatist. What has England done
for Shakespearo? Since Charles Kcan
led the theatrical world in London, she
has dressed his works In glittering cos
tumes, but has not been ablo to pene
trnlA nciln utlh her emotions into the
' essence of his soul, for Shakespeare's
happv England Is no more We play
Shakespeare, Max Itelnhardt, nnd as we
recently had 'Henry IV,' let us also have
'Henry V on tho stage, with tho battle
of Aglncourt and the capture of Har
flour! Thp warmest desire of German
manhood rings In tho dear hero's cry,
'On to Calais,' and from there quickly
across to Englahd ' "
When "Twelfth Night" was recently
revived at one of tho municipal theatres
In Leipzig, the clown put all this Into
verse by means of a prologue, wlilch
tho New Tork Tribune has thus trans
lated. My master the (treat poet, who behind

Brieux Explains Himself
"I am deeply convinced that the theatre
can be a successful means of teaching.
It should not limit Its ambition to pro
vide amusement. I do not mean to say
that it should not entertain the people
and make them forget the worries of life,
and so increase, as It were, the poverty
of their emotions. But Just as we accept
gay or grave novels and Instructive
books we should concede to the theatre
the right, once In a while at least, ot
attempting the solution of the most seri
ous and Important problems.

the theatre not as an aim but as a. means,
I havo desired through It not merely to
arouse thinking, modify habits and actions,
but again (and It Is the censuro which
has caused me the least regret) to bring
about social reforms wmen scemea ae
slrablo to me I hate alwajs hoped that,
becauso I have lived, the quantity of un
happlnesa in the world has been dimin
ished to some extent
"I feel that, happ(l, I have succeeded,
for I know that two of my plajs, 'Les
ItemplacanteB' and 'Les A varies,' havo
been the means of saving many human
lives and of making others less wretched.
Worthier efforts than mine may have
beep sterile, chance favored me.
"I deserve no commendation. I simply
followed the Impulso of my instincts I
would havo beeii unablo to do otherwise.
I was born with the troul of an apostle,
and I say it In no spirit of boastfulness.
I did not create my own soul, but tho
Mght of suffering In others has alwajs
been unbearable to me. As much as I
have been able, I have tried to assuage
the distress and weariness it causes me
"As a child, I dreamed of saving the
Apaches of Gustavo Alrnard and ot Fen
Imore Cooper, or saving the little Chi
nese, whose martyrdom 'I,es. Annalos de
la Propagation de la Tol' related. I
wanted to go as missionary to the can
nlbils. BUt. as the Marquis de Segur
said. In his nddress of welcome tp the
French Academy: 'It was only a pass
ing fancy; you stjon realized there wero
no mora savages In Africa or in Oceania,
but that there were a great many In
France, and jou turned your efforts to
these,"
"It happened that my natural disposi
tion allowed me to use that ringing
megaphone, called the theatre. And, as
It has been rightly said, I have very
often, simply1 broken Into open doors, A
great many thought these open doors
were dosed, and jo them I slmpH proved
that they wero not by going through
them. Through, this megaphone, I have
said nothing that s new. I. admit it,
I have repeated in a language, which the
mass of my felloV men could understand
more easily, truths which philosophers
and savants had discovered and hidden
In books, which- the habitues ot the thea
tre were not tempted to read That Is
why I am a -playwright," From Brleux's
Speech to the American Academy.
