MTIOM LIFE OFFERS MATERIAL FOR MUSICAL SATIRE Trend of the Drama Popu larity of Women Play wrights Theatrical League for Working Peo ple Inaugurated. "Tour American novelists," declared Anthony Hopo Hawkins as he eat at lunch In London Bomewlmt over a. year ago, "have the greatest material the World has ever offered for great novels. Take your capitalists romantic titan figures of men; your financial wars more thrilling than the wars of tho Crusaders and the knights of Arthur; your politicians and political campaigns. Tremendous material for books, and for dramatlo satire and musical comedy aa well." While tho dramatic and romantic ele ments of our national life have to a de greo been made tho bonis of novels and plays, singularly the many subjects that offer themselves for satire and fertile subjects they are have boon neglected In musical comedy. ' When Gilbert and Sullivan Immortal partnership of composer and librettist were in the heyday of their popularity, statesmen, politicians, crooked financiers, "bunk" popular heroes and purplo HlUed poets afforded rich material for their delightful farces. The Inef ficiency of the English navy, the fool ishness of society women who fawned upon the Bunthorne type of poseur and Intellectual dilettante, the shortcomings of members of Parliament, the popularity of egregious melodrama, the Inefficiency of British Juries were gloriously and effectively exposed In musically scored burlesque. With Wnr variegated life social, po litical, commerclal-wlth themes for tremendous drama, we have material no less adapted for satire than England at the time of "The Mikado," "Pinafore." "lolanthe" and "Patience." Speaking with Viator Herbert tho other evening, the question was asked as to whether these subjects should not or -Wculd not be used In musical comedy. Ten, perhaps It will be done," said Herbert. "That Is, if some one can write tho books. However, a musical comedy could not be written simply about a rail road or a crooked manipulation of stocks. The first element for musical comedy Is romance. If some one could take sub jects of modem life In politics, society, business adapted to humorous satire and surround them with love Interest, strik ing s,nd successful musical comedies could be written. As for Gilbert and Bul Ilvftji. their work was pretty Irregular. ard, whit I liked 'The Mikado I thought I,lnafor was pretty poor. Xhere is. Indeed, a new field hero for sraslca? comedy In this country. Per hapsXlt will develop. The subjects are rtghtat hand." Jndginr br the failures last rear of plays dealing baldly with social problems, th American publlo has effectually set the seal of disapproval upon "riskiness" In the drama. For a season or two. dramatists having "gone beyond the line." U looked as though, there would be no Itsalt to the boldness of subjects chosen r the lndelloaoy of dlsousstons on the stage.

Audacity Is the keynote of modern artwork, and If In 'The Song of Songs' there are scenes which may alarm a timid soul, I can ' only allege that my play Is a sincere I attempt to reproduce In the author's vivid colors a novel which has won tho enthusiastic applause'of the world." Mr. Frohmnn Is one of the greatest and JBkEEI v Annie Saker and Alfred Paumier, "The Story of the Rosary" Lyric. best producers. His statement Is sincere. Nevertheless, while all subjects of human life can bo treated, provided that treat ment la spiritually honest and artistic, there Is unquestionably a squcamlshness on the part of the American people really, an Inviolable cleanness which recoils from the presentation on the stago of certain phases of life In a blunt, bald manner. The editor of a popular magazine onco denned the difference between Ibsen and Brleux. "They both 1il with tho samo subjects," said ho, "but Risen Is a drama tist with good taste and manners a gen tleman. Brleux Is a, dramatist without good manners." The woman dramatist, with the era of suffrage, Is coming into her own. 'Within the last decade women have Increasingly Invaded a field that, from the time of Sophocles to Shakespeare, and long after, was monopolized by men. The dramatic successes achieved by women have been chiefly In comedy. But It feminine deli cacy of wit, grace of lines and a sympa thetically, tenderly humorous treatment of human nature wore needed. It Is certainly In this phase of the drama. With the success of "Daddy-Long Legs," Jean Webstar has Just mads her dobut as a dramatist.

Rachel Crothers has hardly had a season pass without a suc cess, and Margaret Muyo, author of that delight, "Baby Mine." Is the author of ono of the half dozen most popular attrac tions of the yoar In "Twin Beds." Other women from whom big hits may be ex pected nny time are Eleanor Dates, Eliza beth Jordan and Gladys Unger. It may bo noted, too, that the most successful play brokors In New York are women, namely, Miss Elizabeth Marbury, Miss Alice Kauser and Mrs. De Mile. A unique and worthy movement has been Inaugurated In the Wage Earners' Theatre League, which Is In charge of Mr. J. Samuels, whose headquarters are In the Keith Theatre Building. The pur pose of the league Is to co-operate with theatre managers and secure tickets In considerable numbers at out rates. Mnry Garden, who has a hobby of buying tickets for her own operas and giving them away to hotel employes, washer women, waiters and servants, once said to me that the underpaid working peo ple needed amusement more than any one else. This Is true. Miss Garden told of giving tickets to "Thais" to the woman who does her "wash" in Paris. Next day,, thanking Miss Garden, the laundress said she had taken her hus band who, after the performance, said it was "like waking up from being In nsaven." Julius Hopp some years ago started a similar movement In New York, and en abled working people with low salaries to get tloketa to plays and musical af fairs at a considerable reduction. It is to be hoped Mr. Hopp's success may be repeated here. The annual dues to the looal league are 15 cents. W. Dayton Wegefarth, of the Walnut Street The atre, has already offered his co-operation, and of the concerts at the Academy of Muslo arrangements have been made for cut-price seats for tho Symphony Society of New York, which Walter Damrosch will conduct. tiiifMifmi.miiiiuiiiiiHliiMmmmiiniim iitimnmMHKnnni OTH AND WAUTOT Special Orchntr&l Muslo.

O Foreign Teachers of Voice Mostly Fakes "If a young man or woman desiring a musical career asked my advice, I should say don't go abroad to study singing. Stay In this country. The teachers here are better, more honest, and will do more for one. Thousands of young Americans have had their voices utterly ruined abroad. If thoy had studied with some of the many superior Instructors In this country or In Canada they would be successful singers today." Miss Irene Pawlowska, the Jullska of Henry W. Savage's company In the operetta "Sari," now at the Forrest Thea tre, returned last fall from three years' study abroad with emphatic opinions cm European teachers. "I'm tremendously glad to put myself on record before young peoplo planning a course of voice study, and I'll be happy If I can dissuade at least some of them from becoming victims of the horde of charlatans In Parts, Berlin and Home, who prey and wax fat upon the misguided and deluded folks who go to them aa pupils. "Generally foreign teachers know ab solutely nothing about placing the voice or developing its tono or quality. They can coach you in songs, yes. Their value stops right there. Indeed, beyond that they are positively harmful. "A certain teacher whom I have in mind was a famous singer a few years ago, and this country was wild about him. Ho retired from the stage, and now Is teaching In Paris. When he teaches he stands at ono side of the pupil, watch In hand, makes him run the scale three times and sing one song. Ills only com ment Is 'Louder, louder!' His Idea is volume noise. Ho strains a voice. His charge Is 120 a lesson. "Another teacher with a. big reputation under whom I studied told me after a few lessons that he'd prepare me for grand opera In three months. I knew that was Impossible, realized at onco that he was Insincere, and gave him up. "Of course you know these so-called In structors agree to get pne an engage ment. What Bort of an engagement Is ltT With a little out-of-the-way unheard-of opera company, whero you receive no salary and furnish all your own costumes. You are required to sing any role so prano, mezzo, contralto. At the end of four or Ave years your voloe is ruined. "Hundreds upon hundreds of American girls have gone through this experience and returned home penniless and with voices destroyed. In New York, Phila delphia, Chicago, Toronto, and probably elsewhere, are teachers who are Incom parably better than those abroad."

XixbUd Tbroujhout by American Plays Best "Desplts their prestige nnd the number of really great playwrights, American dramatists are generally better than the English," declared Walter Howurd, th English actor-author, -who will play In "The Story of the Rosary," which will open a two weeks' engagement at the Liyrlo Monday. 'American dramatists write direct, strong, uncompromising plays. Sometimes they may bo crude; sometimes finesse and subtlety may bo missing, but strength, humanity and the essential dramatic elements are there, "Tho fault of the British playmaker of today Is his overnlcety. Our London dramatists write ladyllko plays. They would call a spade not a spade, but 'a. J rude agricultural Implement.' I do not say that the British dramatist is effete nnd balked by a falso modesty. He Is actually nfrald of the essential emotions. "In London you can not placard a melodrama ns a melodrama to got a proper audience. Our West End corre sponds to your Broadway, We take suah admitted melodramas as 'Within tho Law,' for Instance; but the word melo drama cannot be applied to them. Melo drama to smart London Is an Infinitely worse word than 'bloody' It Is vulgnrlty. Therefore, London takes melodrama, and adores It, under various aliases." Mr. Howard Is an ex-soldter. He was born at Stratford-on-Avon, In the same Btreet as Shakespeare's home. For 12 years he was In the British army, and while In the army wrote his first play. "The actors of London," says Mr. Howard, "are now doing constabulary duty, between the hours of midnight nnd 4 a. m. They are working, and at the came time are derotlng the only hours of leisure they hare to tholr country's service, watching publlo works, railways and bridges." "The Story of the Rosary" Is said to have an unusual Interest at this time, Its plot and characters being suggestive of the war now raging on tho continent. It tells of the Red Dragoons' call to tho front, the hasty marriage of Captain Paul Itomain and Vonotla von Sab ran, the disappearance of Paul, a,nd his return as his bride Is about to take the veil, Before the outbreak of the European war Mr. Howard And hi wimrmiiv nrndilrrt It successfully In London, and in August wrought It to Now York, where it was staged as the first war play of the season. Annie Baker and Alfred Paumier wtl! enact the lovers' roles. Mr. Howard's part is that of Karl Larose, friend of the hero. One hundred people will nppear on tho stage, among tho principals being Chris Wnlker, as an old priest, and George Desmond and Marjorlo Day, as a pair of comlo youthful lovers.

I - Philadelphia Girls More Beautiful Than English' Tho first thing I noticed about Ameri can girls was their lovely complexions," said Ian Maolaren, who Is playing Cap tain Jnok Absolute In "The Rivals," at the Little Theatre. "Of course one sees lots of girls with their faces powdered till they resemble nothing so much ns the down In a circus, but then you see that just as much abroad as here. Especially In Philadelphia I havo been Btruok by that youthful loveliness born of olear eyes nnd clean, fair skins. "But If the Philadelphia girl Is prettlor than her English sister, she certainty has an English environment. 1 havo nover soen a city In America so like the cities of England aa Philadelphia Is. It has the samo quiet dignity about Its fashionable section: tho same air of cheery bustle about Its business streets quite different from those of New York nnd Chicago, and In fact even its archi tecture is English. Although I havs traveled from const to const In this country nnd now claim to be an American bocause I havo bought a farm In New Hampshire, Philadelphia Is tho first city where I have actually felt nt holme." Mr. Maolaren, who Is a noted Shakes pearean player, was lending man with Margaret Anglln last Benson, and also plnyed In "Disraeli" and "Tho Qardon of Allah." Temperament Necessary to Theatrical Success "There's a wiso old saying that if you give a dor a bad namo all tho dead sheep In the neighborhood will be laid at his door, and certainly 'temperament' Is that clog In the theatrical world," declared Whltford Kane, of tho Little Thentre Company. "Artistic temperament hao been mads synonymous, not only with tornper, im morality and shlftlessness, but it has also become a black mark against every player suspected of possessing It Yet, without temperament an actor cannot creato a role. "Temporament is Just as necessary a one's mike-up. Of oourss. If yon'ro a. pretty girl, or a 'devilishly handsome man,' nnd you play parts as signed you because you look like that, you can let temperament protty much go hang; but whon you're In your early thirties nnd you've got to look 60, or . whon you've got to bo nn Irascible old- man one week and n hnncdog young ono the next, you've got to havo tempera ment to help you change, not only your looks, but your feelings."
