AS "THI3 ULUU ENVELOPE" expires
nt the Broad tonight, there la no
need of further recrimination. Justice has
been done.
Dut It Is Interesting to reflect on the
paucity of theatrical material In Bight this
season. The failure of a frank "try out"
Elves the Broad a eet of darkness on
top of none too prosperous cnRagctnents
since "Pygmalion." The Korrest has been
clven over to movies since the withdrawal
of "Fads and Fnnclcs. " Ab yet nothlnp.
new Is announced there outside of the
Mask and Wis Club's show. There Is
no doubt of what a hard season It has
been for the manasers. Expensive musi
cal comedies are always a wood barom
eter; only 20 llrst-clnos productions arc
listed by the Dramatic Mirror ns on view
In New York and on tho road.
The one promising result of all this
financial embarrassment and loss Is a
good deal of talk about reoreunlzatlo 1.
On the one hand, managers propose pay
ing smaller salaries to the players who
hav hitherto demanded exhorbltant flg
Urec. On the other, actors ns well as
managers gossip over schemes for stock
companies of the first grade more or less
co-opcratlvcly organized One thing Is
certain: there can be no escaping tho fact
that something must be done to put the
American theatre on a sound basis,
The be3t piece of acting this week nnd
pretty much all tho 8enton, for thai mat
ter Is Alia Xazlmova's In "War Bridpa"
at Keith's. All her fnmlli-ir and vlld
powers are at their best. The result Is a
singularly moving figure.
As always, the first Impression Is or
Miss Nazlmova's ability as n plastic ar
tist. The woman In "War Bildnt," be
comes In make-up, costume and cntrlage
chnracter distinctly, sharply different
from the others of her long gallery. No
American nctress of so evident a "per
fonallty" achieves such u physical meta
morphosis with each new character.
The voice Is the voice of old: hard, n
little hampered by tho sibilants and li
quids of the English tongue, but tente
with vitality and relentless In Its pur
I'ore. Hurdly another character has fitted
that Voice so well as this war-hardened,
esperate woman fighting for the live
of jnen.
Ab for the rest of the Impersonation, the
Inflections, tho pauses, tho turr of the
1 nrty and gestures of tho arms, they are
f o ythlng that the average American
uctress can't achieve. Instead of driving
ie over-rhetorical .speeches of the piay
vr'ght to absunl heights In the search for
climax and "points," Miss Xazlmova cuts
b olt thu stress of many Bpeeohes with a
cidden, angered drop of the voice or a
pi arp tUrn away from the person ad
dressed. All this la realism, touched by the emo
tion of the moment, such ob few Ameri
cans achieve, and all must be aulu to
accomplish, before our theatre becomes ns
fluid, as responsive, as It must be to mir
ror a great dramatic art.
The season Is not io go by without a
v'slt from William Favensham, the actor
manager who )ias raised himself from
matinee Idol to a position of Just promi
nence In the Amerlcnn theatre. On Easter
Afopday he will come to tho Lyric In "The
ITnwk," a play which has enjoyed much
prosperity on Broadway this season. It
gives him the part of a man who makes
the living of himself and his wife by
cheating at cards. The discovery of this
V'lavery by tho wife's lovec brings thlnfe-a
to the necessary dramatic pitch for tense
excitement. With Mr. Faversham Is Miss
Polllnl.
John Bunny, who comes to the Walnut
next week In hla own proper person, has
had plenty of curious experiences since
he played Bottom In Annie Hucsell's
'Midsummer Night's Dream" some eight
year ago. The natural advantages of his
huge and mobile face for the pantomimic
expression of laughter and sorrow have
made him probably the most DODular
star in the movies. It Un't so very hard '
xo oeueve uiai ne nan oeen photographed
3,000,000 times by the fluttering movie
shutter. Bunny, better than almost any
living man, has demonstrated the Inter
nationality of the photoplay- pantomime
(bat needs no translation to touch all
races. The result has been an embarrass
ing amount of Involuntary publicity In
whatever country John Bunny has
traveled. A face more easily recognized
than even Itooserelts mean Incessant
publicity for the man who walks the
trects wtb It.
The coming of Ethel Barrymore to the
Broad, which has already been announced
In th columns, la now definitely set for
faster Monday. She will thus add what '

New York has thought her very excellent
acting In "The Shadow" to tho many
other novelties on view that evening.
Comments In the press upon tho ampu
tation of Sarnh Bernhardt's leg vary all
tho woy from eulogies of tho wonderful
woman to remarks such as a Kansas
paper ventured: "It may bo unkind to
t-uggost It, but how would Sarah Ucrn
hatdt do as 'Peg o" My Henrt?" " By
far the most notable literary result of
tho operation Is a sonnet by Itostand. The
following Is n translation from Paris, via
the Boston Transcript:
Ihou uhoiij Kentus has been one heroism un
broken, Frill not to envy tho role of those
Who, fighting to defend helKht or allcy,
Each moment fall.
"That nound," thou illdst exclaim. "I must
havo for mrelf.
Since they struggling jondcr hao It, too,
And suffering may bring mo closo to death!"
Hut a wing on each shoulder wilt thou retain,
Kor thee ono heel along dotit suffice
To xtair.p the earth and set it aqultcr!
lo tho winds of tho headland may you hoist
your sail.
Wo need a Humolhruco
When it assailed the muso.
lho MUel gained a victory!
"Monsieur Polrct," the play by John
Jcx, which Is to follow "The Servant li
tho House" at tho Llttlo Theatre, will
enjoy the cervices of Ralph Herz. From
tho Now York Telegraph conies the fol
lowing Information concerning It: "Tho
complications arise fropi the telatlonslilp
between a charming American woman
and ix famous French pianist, both of
whom believe they nre possessed of
'violet houIs,' and hence nre akin In
splilt A piuctical husband, who doesn't
believe in iolor schemes where an affinity
Is concerned, employs detectives and a
dictograph to obtain evidence for divorce
proceedings, nnd the denouement Is said
to be daring and astonishing."
Not content with the labors of a fes
tival of Greek plays in California thl3
summer, Indefatigable Margaret Anglln
Is planning a Shakespeare cycle In the
great amphitheatre at St. Louis, where
the Pageant of St. Louis wns presented
last Bummer before the largest audience
In tho world. Under tho auspices of the
Pagcant-Drnma Association she will pre
sent such pieces as adapt themselves to
open air production. Meanwhile negotia
tions go forward with Gustavo Salvlnl for
ii Joint tour In "Othello."
Arnold Daly emerges again. Thjs time
ho Is to reUve "You Never Can Tell"
nnd Bundry other Shavian dramas nt the
deserted Garrlck in New ork. He wilt
hac George Glddens' assistance.
In "The Song of Songs" sweet morsel
Dorothy Donnelly and John Mason have
been drafted to play parts of about equal
cursorluess. Mr. Mason plays the sena
tor In two scenes, Misx Donnelly, his sis
ter, In one. One evening recently Mr.
Mason remarked, as he stood in tho
wines by her side: "I was Just thinking,
Dorothy, of that old one about the two
oysters In the church stew, 'I'm surprised
to be here myself,' said the first ojster.
but what gets me Is to meet you here
too.' "

see tho fine nbllltleq of Lou Tcllegcn has
put him forward In yet nnother play.
"Taking Chances" shows him ns ono moro
of those elegant burglars who seem the
only romantic figures of tho prosont-dny
stage. This gentleman makes his living
by robbing police captains, compromising
their wives, and then blackmailing th.
husbands Into giving him letters of Intro

scenes. One of them was called "How to
bo Happy Though nt Home," while an
other rose to the heights of "The Supper
Club of the Receding Chins." By way of
contrast the evening began with "The
New Word, a Flresldo Scene."
"A Girl of To-day" goes Into a stato

A Little Message
From Marie Dressier
What's tho matter with Philadelphia?
Seems to me that all you good people
over hero have lost your high spirits.
Don't tell me Its "Billy" Sunday that
has depressed you, because my Idea of
religion Is that It should make one as
happy as the day Is long.
Officially, of course, I'm supposed to
bo In Brooklyn this week. But I had a
toothache this morning when I woke up
so I thought I'd Just hop on a train and
drop over to see my favorite dentist. It's
funny about dentists, Isn't It? Onco you
get a dentist Iti the family ho generally
stays there for life. Doesn't matter how
far away I may be when the first twinge
hits me, so long as Its anywhere this side
of Chicago. I hop on a train and hurry
to Philadelphia for treatment. There Is
somo charm or soothing power about a
Philadelphia dentist that you can't find
In the species nnywhero else In the world.
Perhaps, on second thought, though, It
Is I and not Philadelphia that Is feeling
down In the mouth. After all, I've got
somo excuse for feeling that way when
I'm headed for tho dentist.

Mr. Jex and the
Comedy Question
Tho Bprlng season of "visiting stars" at
tho Llttlo Theatre, Inaugurated with
ndlth Wynne Mntthlson, will bo con
tinued nt the play
house during tho
Irst two weeks of
prll, when Ralph
Herz appears there
In "Monsieur Polret,"
iv John Jex.
Mr. Jex Is a bc
llovcr In comedy nnd
the "realism of Joy."
He says frankly that
lessons In life may
be taught m u o h
not o thoroughly with
aughtcr thnn with
ragedy, and he de
clares that Irony and
s a 1 1 r e as Shaw
has pi oved are tho
i
strongest weapons
that a playwright may use.
"Ab for tho marked success of comedies
this year," sas Mr. Jex, "that Is readily
accounted for by the law of contrast. Or
rather one might say tho scales of con
trast, for with the terrible tragedy of tho
war and Its resultant business depression
flung Into one side of the scale, tho world
or that part of It which Is pleasure
seeking naturally demnnds a wealth of
laughter to balance the tears.
"But then I believe the demand for
comedies Is growing steadily. Anyway,
with the realization of the fact that real
ism that slogan of the playwright may
bo achieved ns readily through tho happi
ness of humanity as through Its suffering.

Over-production of Theatres
JiV ARNOLD BENNETT.
Docs the multiplication of hp
atrcs implv rculra! of lnfcrr in
the ilramaf I do not think that H
doc. Theatres arc not the onlv ap
paratus of luxury that havo multi
plied. Hotels have multiplied; res
taurants have multiplied; concerts
have multiplied; and art palleries,
music halls, illustrated voliortc on
naliiflffff, cheap Ooofcs of all kinds
and every sort of periodical. Ow
ing to the extraordinary improve
ments in mechanical pioduction the
nation is richer, and luxury and
leisure have increased.
The growing taste for the theatre
is, at present, no more a symptom
of artistic life than the growing
taste for restaurants is a symptom
of artistic life.
Tho greatest plays of tho past, It must
be admitted, have been tragcdlos, but that
does not necessitate the great plays of
tho fuluro having traglo themos. Every
year ono feels tho lighter touch growing
moro dominant In tho theatrical produc
tions. "Added to this," continues Mr. Jcx, "1
think that tho growth of the Llttlo The
atre movement, now so world-wide In Its
scope, will Incroase the demand for gooa
comedy. Joy Is essentially an Intimate
emotion, not only because It 1b more
eiuslvo than sorrow, but also because a
Joyous play takes Its audience so deeply
Into the playwright's confidence: nnd n
sense of thut Intimacy Is one of tho great
charms of the Llttlo Theatre.
"Of course, that Bense of players and
playgoers being at one may be JUBt ns
poignantly felt In a tragedy, but to my
mind, trngedy needs a wide stage, an Il
lusion of vast space and distance that la
difficult to gain In the Little Theatre.
"We may, you know, prate eternally of
'tho play's the thing," but Us settings can
very readily make or mar, whatever the
lines may be. A play as a piece of lit
erary work Is ono thing, and the fin
ished production on a stage Is another,
for In tho first only the playwright and
his charncterB are concerned and the play
Is tho wholo thing; but In tho latter there
arc working In conjunction a director, tho
players, tho overseer of tho lights and
tliH scenic artist, nnd unless these form
component parts of an artistic whole, the
play Itself becomes merely a Jumble ot
words.
"In tho Llttlo Theatres this Is especial
ly true, because the Bets must be minia
tures rather than portraits, Blnce the au
dience cannot get far enough away for
the perspective needed for tho sweeping
brush strokes of tho portrait painter.
"Yet It Is my earnest belief that the
Little Theatre and the repertoire theatre
Is Ihe real playhouse of the future, and
I nlso believe that Its list of plays will
Include more comedies than tragedies In
the seasons to come."
