rP TIIE past week brought nothing- new
Philadelphia theatres. It quite outdid
Itself with the nows that "K. & B." and
the Shuberts had beffun rehearsals of that
beatino comedy, "Tlie Lion and the
Lamb." The Peace of Broadway has
been signed and strife Is no more. The
Bhuberts have given up their seats by
"the open door." And America has a the
Btrtca.1 trust again.
It will probably be a mild little trust,
attending strictly to Its business of book-
ins Plays systematically and economically
over tho United States. One guarantee of
this Is memory. The fight of the Shu
berts for the Bmall producer won't be
soon forgotten- Another Is the fact that
the theatres of the country will oontlnue
to be divided between the two factions.
The effect of the merger will be to elim
inate a great many flrst-class playhouses
In the smaller dtles. Chicago and Boston
and St Louis settled their theatre ar
rangements on a senslbte basis last year.
Philadelphia's five remaining houses
snatch so well the playgolng population
that wiseacres ezpeot no alterations here.
The wastes and duplications of competi
tion elsewhere will be removed and book
tags more efficiently adjusted.
Jut to ths Theatrical Product
The results of the merger will be a, cer
tain addition of financial security.
"Whether this will bo. reflected in bet
ter plays la an open quiistlon. With the
Increasing risks of the past few years,
tho run of plays has suffered. The suc
cessful plays haven't taken on a lower
tone; "Within the Law" and "Kick In"
are monuments to popular taste far hand
somer than "Tho Girl tof the Golden
'TVest" and "Tho Palace of thi King."
But It has grown increasingly evident
that the subtler sort of play addressed to
a smaller audience hasn't been able to
worry along on a fair margin, as It used
to. A pretty big success has grown neces
sary In order to stave off ruin.
The Peace of Broadway nnd the sav
ings entailed by It will relax the strain
a iiuie. iut producing only the very
popular will still bo the safest course.
And It looks on the surface as If tho evo
lution of tho speculative touring system
will go on again along tho same lines as
before.
New Plays for Philadelphia
After tho brief breathing spaco of this
barren week, productions como thick and
fast again. Even "futures" are plenty.
On January 18 Marie Tempest will begin
a week's engagement at the Lyric, acting
plays In which sha has been appearing
in New Tork. The first half of tho week
she will give Henry Arthur Jones' now
comedy, "Mary Goes Flrst,"'a little study
of tho wars over social precedence in tho
English "provinces." Tho rest of her
engagement will bo devoted to "Tho Mar
riage of Kitty," familiar enough here.
7T Trt-
(In the American Magazine.)
The mlnuto the curtain rises and the
tharacters are disclosed tho poor au
thor has got to get out of sight and
let tho characters do all tho talking.
Now, people In dally life don't go
around as a rule telling who they nro
and all about themselves. They don't
have to. How, then, Is tho author go
ing to let you know what you must
know about these peoplo without mak
ing them net In a ridiculous manner?
Tho tolephono Is a beneficent Inven
tion, and It has be nod ted nobody so
much no the dramatist. Think how
few plays ot contemporary Ufa you
now see without a telephone on the
stage. Is It there to give a reallstla
touch? It is not. It Is there to help
the dramatist get his plot across; and
a very potent help It Is.
J. M. Barrio In his comical burlesque,
A Slice of Life," which Ethol Barry
more acted two or three winters ago,
made fun of this use of the telephone.
Each character, as he or she entered,
rang somebody up In order to an
nounce his or hor name for the benefit
of tho audience. "Is this you, father?"
asked Miss Barrymore In a languid
voice. "This Is your daughter, Mrs.
Hyphen-Brown you remember." Nono
of Mr. Barrle's characters, of course,
said any more, whlcfAwas what made
