A LOT of hnlf-tleinetitecl Mlmi of th
newspaper readers desire to hmr
about plays on Tuesday mornings have
lonir. contended thnt a musical comedy
could bo mndc IntelllRent jet cntcrtalnlns
nrl even thnt a revue could bo a revue
IP a man with brnlns did the work. No
body expects a producer of musical
comedy to hire any such person; he has
to pay too much for chorus girls. But
George M. Cohan happens to bo botlu a
manager and a man -with brains. That
U the secret ot "Hello, Broadway!"
There have probably been a good many
changes and rewriting!! in the revue at
the Forrest since It first ncared comple
tion. But the process of "trial and ci
ror," as the high brows might describe
It, has left no marks. There nro no hia
tuses of gag and cuff, the Btory anil
dialogue move steadily along. All of
which means that tho man who wrote the
"book" also directed rehearsals nnd
composed tho music. He wanted to pro
duce a piece of work of definite character,
and he had tho power as well as the abil
ity. "Hello, Broadway!" Is a monument to
Mr. Cohan's skill as a satirist. It Is also
a monument to what an manager can do
who will give bialns a free hand. -May
more of them see It!
It is a little late een for obtfcqules In
connection with The Llttlo Theatre's last
production, "Monsieur 1'olret," but tho

Philadelphia, March 0.
Mr "Wallace was doubtless Interested to
learn that, though there may have been
present on the opening night "one of the
largest audiences ever assembled within
The Little Theatre," "Monsieur Polret"
waa withdrawn with Its engagement only
half over.
Chicago has In the Hull Houso Play

This year tho Lambs nro building no
new clubhouse, but an all-star "gambol"
is In prospect nil tho same As n fitting
ecuso for this marathon Joy-ride of tho
stellar luminaries (phrase released to
press ngi-nt M-ufl) the proceds will go
to the Actors' Fund of America. Tho
tour begins May 21, but Philadelphia
won't come up on tho horizon till Juno 5.
On? of the highlights In tho, youth ot
i certain Philadelphia critic was the sum
mer "musical stock" thnt nourished In St.
Louis n ilecndp back. And the principal
highlight lu thnt company was one John
K. Young With n, renl voice and plenty
of unction, ho made tho best Kolto that
the American stage has yet offcied for
that critic's attention, while his follow
up performanres in pnrts thnt Raymond
Hitchcock, Trunk Dnnlcls nnd Jeffcron
Do Angclls had ornamented left compari
sons decidedly odious from tho other
men's point of lev. After some sum
meis In St Louis nnd winters cruising
round the Middle West In "Clilciigo
shows," Mr Young gintltied that critic's
civic pride bv "Inndlng'' on Broadway
hard with ' The Pink Lady," nnd Mon
day ho returns to the Philadelphia Gar
rlcU with "Tho Little Cafe."
With the Intermediary aid of the press
ngent, Mr. Young contributes the fol
lowing fncts about his enrly career. Ho
bcRon It at S ns a boy soprano in tho
San rriinclsco Minstrels, which enme to
Ills (and also Marie Uressler's) homo
town, Saginaw, Mich. Then came stock
nnd comic opera troupes, including an
engagement In Philadelphia, with Ray
mond Hitchcock "in support." Mr.
Hitchcock Invaded Broadway, while our
hero took out "John E. Young nnd His
Merry Comedians" and took them In
again. Just ahead of the sheriff. Ho had
as many as clgnt hotel representatives
traveling with him wnltlng for receipts.
But those days nre over.
Another .oung player of unusual tal
ents nnd unusual history comes to town
next week. Ho Is Arthur Aylcsworth, of
"She's In Again." A novel origin nnd
n brief caicer distinguish him. In tho
new farce he will play a youth who has
spent 13 years trying to pass his collcgo
examination. As a matter of fact, Mr
Aylesworth passed his long ago, graduat
ing from Brown I'nlverslty and entering
law school beforo ho found ho had a
larger tulent for acting. Then In his first
two plays, says tho scholarly William
Raymond Sill, who Is the source of nil
this wisdom, Mr. Aylesworth was n rank
failure. Tho cynically truthful Mr. Sill
also applies those words to the result of
Mr. Aylesworth'a association with a ro
mantic part In an operetta, "Tho June
Bride " But, ns a matter of fact, Mr.
Ajles worth's performance In that piece
was decidedly Interesting and novel,
while In between tho first failures and
tho last ho scored o, remnrkablo hit ns
tho saturnine hotel cleric of "Over .Night."
A new touch which, let us hope, gets
plenty of chance In "She's In Again," is
Mr. Aylesworth'a principal asset

Tho last ot the Friday attornoon con
certs, and by that tokon tho last but ono
of tho concerts of tho Philadelphia Or
chestra for this season, was plcn nt
the Academy yesterday afternoon. Tho
three numbers plnycd were tho slslh
sjmphonv, tho "Casso-Nolsettc" suite,
and tho "1SI2" overture of Tschalkowsky
Against such n program tho scnsltlvo
ear which could detect Haws and fallings
was necessarily Inoperative. Some In
felicities thcro were which obtruded
themselves, hut never to tho point of
spoiling tho grnndlo'P anil nt times
magnificent spirit of the inti'ir. They
were tho faults which arc not unknown
to patrons of the orchestra, nor. It Is to
ho hoped, to Its conductor, who has
mitigated some, and who. In tho long
run, seems destined to noiil mem nun- ;
gcthcr. I
But If the ciltlc could not be captious
In this event, the orchestra and Its con
ductor could not hope to mnke for them
selves now distinctions, because what was
to bo heard In the concert was Tschalkow- '
sky. nnd It wns good to notice the seir
cffnccineiit of orchestra and lender, who
achieved their music so well. Tho ovei
ture, with Its childish burlcsiiulng of one
nnt'onnl theme, and Its cquallv childish
exaggeration or nnother. justified Itself ,
onlv because It rang nnd bent superhlj
In the ears of Its audltois after tho con
cert was over. To have ended the con
cut with the "Pnthetlque" would have
been moie noble, even If a bit unhappy
The "Nutcracker" snlto was plajed as it
was plhyed last Christmas, for children,
simply, delicately, dellghtfulb.
So It camo about, as was Inevitable, that
one returned to the symphony nnd pon
dered ocr it ngaln To homo It seems
that the "Pathetiouo" mtiBt he dtcnp he
causo It Is popular. Hut that the sacra
mental beauty of Its movements should
havo woven themselves deeply into tho
consciousness of tho people Is not an ni tl
clo of condemnation, It is a lasting glory.
Thcro Is, to bo sure, nn cniiHlly absurd
tendency, to sentlmerrtallzo this work, to
consider It tho expression of final pes
simism. Mr Stokowskl read his score
with a blessed nbsenco ot this emo
tional cant. Ho read It even with appre
ciation of tho meretricious and tho mag
niloquent In It, with a detached under
standing of Its fallings. And the fact
that with this righteous reading It was
still moving and effcctlvo Is the gi cater
proof of Its valid power. It cannot be
said ot many symphonies, ns It has been
said of this one, thnt they havo tho power
to send their hearers deep Into their own
souls and return them hotter and more
pure.

Hi;
for popular education than nny ten libra
ries, bo they ever so rich In books.
I could tako a group of street boys,
Ktittor snipes, nnd educate them nt tho
thentro ns they never would nnd never
will bo educated In school. I would end
thorn first to third-class theatres, whero
their fntorcst would bo nroused, whoro
thoy would bo held spellbound. Then,
after a while, I would havo them go to
tho second-class theatres, whoro they
would seo something better, nnd which
they would bo held spellbound. Then,
finally, I would clve them n course nt a
first-class theatre.
Thcsn boys would heo men nnd women
ot culture; thoy would seo how thoy
dressed nnd how they nctcd nnd how
they talked. They would icallzo that
thrro wns another standard of conduct,
another piano of ethics and of thought
from thnt In which they lived; they
would learn tho nluo of these other
standards, and they would Inevitably cn
doaor to make thorn their own.
I hcllevo that theso boys would bo given
Ideals nnd inspirations thnt no schooling
could ever glvo them In tho sumo time,
nnd that would bo tho highest and best
kind of education.
Tho stngo itself Is ono of tho best
schools In tho world. A green lad can
lenrn on the stage more practical knowl
edge of tho world nnd moro savoir-faire,
can becomo better fitted to go out Into
tho world nnd accomplish something, than
ho could in tho samo or longer tlmo in
nny school or college.
The theatre Is not only an educational
force: It Is perhaps the greatest educa
tional force, when ptoperly directed. Yet
Americans havo not yet learned tho truth,
nnd our ilch men, who glvo their money
for everything else, to college and uni
versity, to publc llbrnry nnd art mu
seum, to research and Investigation, will
not put a cent Into tho endowment of tho
theatre. And this in spito of the fact
that (he benefits realized from tho en
dowed theatres on the Continent aro
plainly to be teen.
