With Its Sinn Upon Its Head
THE fndst honeful tlicatrlcal news In a Ioiir time Is the demise of "Sinners."
Ono more shot nt Hie "Old Honiestertd"-"Vay Down Enst" marK has pone
wide. Ono more nttempt to cater to an unsophisticated, uncritical, non-theatre-golner
public has fallen flat. Tho thoatro Is for better plays and better audiences.
, . . .
Pity the Poor Critic!
"Sinners" was a trial to the critics Monday nlftlit. Not because It was bad.
Wg had all seen a great many worse plays and Frances Mcleod's "hired jjlrl"
was a joy.
Tho trouble with "Sinners" was that It left us high and dry and peeved. It
disarmed us. It wasn't trylns to be Intelligent or charming or thrilling or real
istic or riotously amusing It was just trying to be popular with tho peoplo who
turn out twice a year to see "The Old Homestead" nnd "uen-IIttr," tho people who
like to think the country Is morally superior to tho city. And wo thought It had
succeeded. The public needs nn apology. Hero It Is.
The "Good of Its Kind" Fallacy
Virtually every critic at the Adelphl felt that ho had no business applying
sophisticated standards to Owen DavlR' bland voporlngs. Ho would wait and
tako It out on Bernard Shaw. Tho only real question of tho evening was: Is
"Sinners" good of Its kind, docs It please Its intended audiences?
And thcro wo made a doubly pernicious mistake. That old "good of Its kind"
fallacy led us Into two blind alleys. Ashnmed of our task, wo Immediately lost
Interest and perspective and guessed wrong. "Sinners" wasn't particularly good
of Its kind and Its kind wasn't wanted any moro. On top of that, wo failed to
recognize the really ovll nature of that "good of Us kind," standard.
Up Guards and nt 'Em
Tho critic simply can't go on complacently letting Irresponslblcs do what they
pleaso with the theatre not If It means anything to hlm. Just because there
aro a sulllclcnt minority of people who want the playhouso to cater every now
and then to their sentimental, sloppy notions of dramatic life, no self-respecting
critic can stnnd aside and see the theatre, which has appealed to the majority
through the centuries as a placo of truth, exhilaration and gaiety, given over
to tho untrue, tho debasing, tho silly. A good farce, a good melodrama, a good
play of mirth, ndventure, pnetry or thought very well. Their kind Is good, as
welt as their quality. Hut let Is not see the slow climb of tho dramatic art
weighted down with tho demands of peoplo who pay for anemic wit, sloppy
preachment and false sobriety.
Where Arc the Way-Down-Eastcrp of Yesterday?
Fortunately tho theatre Is getting by the "Hen Hur" period. That Is tho
promise In "Sinners' " end. Largo statements are risky; but It Is pretty safo to
say that tho managers have uniformly failed at tho game of manufacturing
successors to "Way Down East." "The Old Homestead" and the Low Wnllaco
"classic." Tho only play of tho past ten years which has consistently ap
pealed to a large "road" public season after peason Is "The Dluo Bird." And
that Is Matcrllnck!
Has the "Ben Hur" public begun to develop dramatic taste? Clinging
remlnlsccntly to Its llrst love. Is It demanding something better as substitutes
for that sentiment-gilded play? Or has tho ten-cent admission prlco of tho
movies drawn It off Into a new school In art and life? Anyhow, "Sinners" has
rendered expiation.
Soinetliinp; You're Missing
For almost threo months tho Stage Society has occupied tho Little Theatre
' on Friday and Saturday nights. For almost threo months It has been giving
entertaining and Intelligent llttlo plays with good acting nnd Incomparable
settings. For almost three months It has stuck to Its democratic scale
of prices, fifty cents for most of the house, a dollar for three or four rows.
And In that time tho half-and-half support that It received has left It with a
loss of $700.
Obviously, somebody Is making a mistake. AVe don't think It is tho
Stage Society. We think it is the people who want something good that
tho professional theatre doesn't often furnish. Test tho question of going to
the Llttlo Theatro next Friday night by this standard: If you liked "Androcles
nnd the Lion" you will like tho Stage Society's plays. If you liked Robert Mc
Qulnn's scenery In "Stop! Look! ! Listen! ! !" you will llko tho scenery at
tho Llttlo Theatro. If you prefer reading Bernard Shaw to seeing Georgo
Broadhurst, you will never regret the fifty cents. Try it. K. M.

As a matter of fact. It Is ahead of its

which they aro but pawns is as hnrd in
tho playhouse as it Is In life and much
less often done. That the trick enn be
turned, however, "Tho Weavers" proves.
On the staso of tho Garden Theatro this
drama catches up the audience at the
very start, nnd they follow It with ab
sorbed attention, apparently not bothering
In the least that It Is the picture of a
strlko they aro thrilling to, while tho In
dividuals come and go, watched In ono
act, forgotten In the next. Each act Is
a separate episode, or genre picture, and
they hang together nnd progress be
cause each gives us, from a different
angle, the tale of the rising tide of In
dustrial revolt. Nobody can see "Tho
Weavers" without at least a vaguo sense
that the stage can do some things of
great nobility and power which, at pres
ent, It nil too seldom attempts.
The best acting in the production was
possibly furnished by Adolph Link, from
the Irving Place German Theatre. Ho
played Old Uaumert. one of tho few char
acters who appear In all the acts, and ho
played It with great vividness and power
vividness In the passages of humorous
Benlllty and complaint, power In the out
breaks of passion. When In act two the
soldier sings tho striker's song, and Old
Uaumert listens, repenting the revolution
ary sentiments and pounding the table
with approval, letting off the steam of TO
years of poverty and oppression. Ilerr
Link was a picture not to be forgotten.
And his English is perfect.

I LETTERS
From nn Amateur Critio
To the rUoloplav Kdllor:
In your editorial a few weeks ago you
extended on Invitation to amateur
critics to come forward with their views
on the current attractions In tho theatru
both the Bpotten drama and tho movlrs.
I have nlways felt that If wo weto to
be guided by the views ot somo of the
critics as a criterion by which wo deter
mine what Is best In the thcntrlcal ral
eiular, we would be denied many pleasing
performances.
Take, for cxnmplc, Oeorge Jean Nathan,
whose entcrtnlnliig pages aro one of tho
features of The Smart Hot. While I
thoroughly enjoy his article, 1 have nl
ways Imagined the man suffering with
acute Indigestion or some physical ail
ment which picvcntH hlm from seeing
and enjoying all the good things In life.
His attacks on the construction of a
pinyuilght's endeavors aic caustic, to
say tho least, nnd In many cases, no
doubt, are well founded. On the other
hand, ho uses up valuable space, for In
stance, in eulogizing .Miss Ituth Chatter
ton. True, no doubt. .Miss Chattcrton de
servos credit for her efforts In the mllk-and-watery
"Daddy Long Legs." but
why should a man of Nathan's calibre
waste reams on bucIi Inslgnlllcnnt per
formances, when a better work anil nn
abler thesplan Is allowed to lecclve. from
his pen, only a few scathing paragraphs?
Another case in point It tho efforts of
a Philadelphia coi respondent to one of
tho New York theatrical weeklies. Ills
record of our dramatic bill-nf-fnro could
bo made as loadable as the Chicago or
Iloston writers to tho same paper, hut
tho man in question seems to be satisfied
when ho has Informed us of the atti ac
tions at each of our theatres and then
adds that "Gllletto Is tho some Gillette"
or "Italph Hertz carried tho burden of
the performance" and lets it go at that.
In speaking of the opening bill at tho
I.lttle Theatre, he sums up Lord Uunsany
and his "Glltcrlng Gate" as "a weird
performance of two burglars before tho
gates of Heaven." Shades of William
Winter!
Speaking of the I.lttle Thcatic. I con
sider that tho Stage Society Is deserving
of all posslhlo praise for Its painstak
ing and conscientious activities. Somo of
its offerings wcro not as smooth ns one
would desire, but tho selection of Its
llttlo plays shows forethought In choos
ing those cholco outputB of the master
minds which we nro seldom privileged to
enlov outsldo of our libraries. Tho ln-
dividual performance of somo of the .
members of tho different casts would havo
been a credit to a professional aggrega
tion. The presentation of "Tho King of the
Black Isles" Is worthy of n repetition in
one of Its future lists of plays. The
settings, costumes and pantomime were
all that could bo desired, with this one
exception ollmlnato tho four or flvo danc
ing girls In tho second part. Their cos
tumes, dancing nnd mannerisms somehow
did not lit In with the rest of the pic
ture. If dancing and posturing are re
quired, let .Margaret Whittaker contribute
more of her very able characterisation.
Music by an orchestra or trio of mu
sicians would be welcomo additions be
tween plays, as the waits are very tire
some. Of course, scenes cannot be
changed with the inpldlty manifested re
cently at .tho Broad when "The Prlco"
was the attraction.
This was a much-dcsircd novelty, but
the noise of the mechanism reminded one
of tho quick changes at the New York
Hippodrome somo few sears ago. Indeed,
on tho opening night of Miss Dunn's debut
the rumbling and grating of tho movable
stage was almost as disturbing as wero
tho rumblings of tho occupants In a
ground lloor box. Why do people, sup
posedly well-bred, como to the theatro
with their gossip and leave the genteel

Such whispering, guffawing, moving nbout
and oven loud, raucous laughter should
not be tolerated In a theatro Biieh as
the Hroad nor In any other theatre, for
that matter.
The performances of tho boxholders
were almost on a par with the knitters
nnd patlenco players In the Metropolitan
Opera Hotiso scene In "Watrh Your
Step."
Thanks to Frank Tlnnoy nnd some
former vaudevltlans, this venture of
Irving Hcrlln seems to lie what the pub
lic wants. Mr. Tlnncy and his comic de
termination to have bis Jokes go over
(ecn to tho extent ot having n flag avail
able in caso of emergency) would be
doubly appreciated If wo had not read
most all of them In tile reviews ot the
I plav during Its sojourn In New York.
And so It Is In most nil cases theatrical
when a hit reaches Philadelphia, Ueforo
we have the opportunity of Reelng a pro
duction tho papers nnd magazines have
Informed us of nil tho llttlo surprises,
etc., during Its New York stay. We know
when we nro going to havo our thrills;
our sui prises are no surprises nnd we
do not grip the arms of our chairs at
some startling situation, for wo know
Just hat Ii going to happen. Therefore,
when we do havo a real first night, we
doubly appreciate tho change.
This Is ono advantage tho movies have
over the spoken drama. Wo are allowed
to witness first presentations simultane
ously with New York tho hub of things
In the amusement world.
In closing, and before you dccldo to
relegate mo to your scrap basket, let mo
congratulate you on your Saturday sup
plement of tho Evening Lnoncji. It is
brimful of interesting reading for those
who llnd entertainment In things the
atrical. Also, t wish to thank you for your In
vitation to embryo critics. I may not
havo hit the bullsoyo this time, and wan
deicd Into too many different paths, but
kindly bear in mind that your call was to
amateurs, and ns such I can truthfully
sign myself. AMATEUR

Deplores Lack of Seriousness
Tn the l'hotoplau Vdttor:
Sir May I intrude my views on the
lack of serious and well-constructed plots
In the modern fenturo films. I feel that
It is a sign of a most grave and disturb
ing lack ot Interest III the better Ideals
ot drama. Tho great plots of Shakespeare
nrn tt'linllv tie?leetprl wlillw tlin lilnnil nml
ti,un,ier tales of the West grip tho public,
even tnougn common sense ten us nil
that they aro exaggerated and untrue. Let
us set our faces against this influence
nnd strive to lift the screen to a higher
standard. H. L. K.

WINE IS A MOCKER
STRONG DRINK IS
RAGING
Before coming to this country, John T.
Murray, the English actor who Is ap
pearing In "Tho Passing Show of 1915,"
w placing nt the Ljrle Theatre, gained
mslderablo experience In tho English
provinces ns a member of an nround-thO'
world stock company.
"I Joined tho company In Ivondon," says
Mr Murray, "Just befor wo started out
for Austtalla. We were shy a character
woman, nnd as a last resort our manager
tiok on a very lino character woman who
had a reputation for hard drinking Ho
eautionwl her that this habit would not
be tolerated, but instead of treating her
nvrolv, he suggested that he handle her
inonr and thus save her money which
lniirbt otherwise go for drink. The lauv
vn Indignant when he suggested that she
Imif tirli a icpiitatlon.
' However, sho agreed to the renditions.
and for nine weeks or more there was no
evidence of her falling oft the water
wagon. Hy nnd by we reached ttombav.
where we expected to make an Impression
nblrli would firmly establish us through
out India. We opened with a harrowing
melodrama called '.Mother nnd Son ' Tho
liter srene ratne In the third art nnd
showed the progress of a trial. Our char
after woman did not appear In the first
two nets, but really had the big moment
In tho third art As we rung un she was
nowhere to be found. About ! o'clock the
manager became uneasy and scouts weie
sent In search of her. Sho was flnnlly
located In a very much Intoxicated condi
tion in an English cafe. Sho reached tho
theatre, however. In time for tho big
scene and came on rolling llko a ship. As
tho chlrf witness she confronted tho Judge
who had before hlm tho man who was
Btipposcd to be her son.
" 'Look at this man,' said the judge
In a commanding tone, 'and tell me If
you have ever seen him before,'
"I havo not,' said tho character
woman.
"The Judge repented tho question.
" 'Never In my life.' came back tho
answer.
"Thinking to bring her to a realiza
tion ot the situation, tho Judge con
tinued, 'Is this your son7'
"And coino back tho answer 'No, your
honor.'
"Whereupon tho Judge, leaning for
ward, thundered:
" 'I bog of you madam, tax your
memory.
"Hut this was too much, and bv this
tlmo not only tho house but all of the
actors on tho stage wero almost In
hysterics, Tho following day our little
troupe started back tn England. The
chniacter woman, as far as I know. Is
still in the backroom of that little Eng
lish cafe."
