"Masculine Methods" and "MnricOdilc"
UNLESS somebody throws thratrintl ilynntnilc in womo vegetable form nt the
Adelplil tonight, the last net of Hip farce of NUppresHlni; "Mnrlp-Odile"
stem likely to bo the nppcnl of the Nntlonnl ttlliernliin for "masculine mcthoclB."
The comparison In u little hard on tlio fair sex. but It l'i In niuiiy wtiyH the most
sensible Idea so far put forward. I'orcc, and notlilmr but foice, Is nbout tho
only solution for those disputes ocr no-onlled "morality." The moral force
of public opinion, tho physical foice of enthusiasts and objectors, nnd finally tho
police force.
Did Rockefeller Like "The Lion nnd the Mouse"?
It Is foolish to deny that "MnrlcOtlllo" may be Wtitlmatcly offensive to cer
tain Catholics. Hut New Unhand Puritans can't have enjoyed Mansfield's pro
duction of "The Devll'8 Disciple." Russian bureaucrats must have Ihoupht
"The Yellow Ticket" n libel, iilonR with every other play based on n Russian
theme. Lawyers and storekeepers might piolesl nt a dor.cn such attacks on
tho established order and lis RUairllans as "Within the Law." Tho list could
be endlessly multiplied. There Isn't a lace, creed or prejudice that the stage
doesn't outrage sooner or later. It is simply si sign of tho very fervor of belief
anions Irish-Americans, that they are the ones to discover "Playboys" and
"Marle-Odllcs." And fervor of belief In these matters Is the thing that counts.
The One Thing the Stale Can Censor
There Is Just nbout one thing for which censorship--whether censorship by
police, boards or courts Is qualified. There is Just about one thing on which
tho whole community agrees. There Is Just about one thing which ecry one
wants to bo gunrded agnlnHt. It Is filth. Theto are many moralities. There
arc oven many varieties of so widespread a morality as the Christianity of
church-goers. But there Is only one vulgarity. It Is the censors who put their
hands on other matters movie censors, In paitleular who make ludicrous
exhibitions of nn honest human Impulse townrd good. If they could have cen
sored the morals of the past they would have kept us mental cavemen.
Leavening the Race
The conservative thought of Athens wanted Knrlpides exiled for his "blas
phemy." Since that day the theatre has taken to Itself, time after time, tho pro
mulgation of so-called "Immorality," of fresh doctrines nnd now visions. It !
has always played Its part in the leavening of tho mind of the race. And It
must continue to do so.
Tempering Toleration
But that doesn't mean that there must be no protests good "masculine"
ones. There have been such In Vcllgious discussions before this, nnd they are
healthier than tyrannies of a coerced, false majority.
If It Is foolish to deny that "Marlo-Odllc" may bo legitimately offensive to
certain Catholics, if it is equally foolish to deny the piny to tho rest of the com
munity because of that, It is as undeniably foolish to expect the offended ones to
hold their peace If the hurt goes deep enough. "Wheie there me real emotions
there, wltl be a real contest and the Issue Is not to bo foreseen.
That Is the healthiest way toward n live, truthful and mentally and morally
useful theatre. It is the tyranny of toleration tempered by violence and revolt.
The Pity of It
But the funny and the pitiful part of the "Mntic-Odllo" affair Is that
Mr. Knoblauch nnd his play aren't worth tho light. Their "immorality" Is
pretty feeble stuff.
Six Thousand Scenarios and Ten Thousand Stories
Last week tho Amusement Section pi in ted a .statement by Walter Pricliaril
Eaton that the trashy nature of the movies was duo to the fact that over tiOOO
scenarios were written nnd manufactured Into photoplays each ear. Remarks
like that usually bring results. Not in tho way of leform by the producers.
Just letters from the "fans" and tho "trade." Uut as we haven't yet received
tho avalanche of counter-abuse which usually follows 'any bit of uncompli
mentary truth about the pioscnt state of the photoplay art. we feel safe in
supposing that there must have been something not quite logical In Mr. Eaton's
remark. Perhaps this Is it: If you will take the troublo to llgure out how many
short stories are written each year in tho United States nnd printed in our
hundred-odd magazines, you are npt to find something around 10,000 for your
answer, and a batting aveingo quite as bad In spots. Maybe it's not tho number
of movie scenarios or short stories, but the kind of men writing them that counts.
On With the Comedy of Censorship!
The Courts, the Kaiser and Censorship the week "has linked them In tho
most Interesting and amusing act yet staged In tho comedy of cleansing the
movies. It Is tragedy or comedy, according to tho way you look at it.
Certainly from the censor's point of view there is little to laugh over In
Judge Barrett's decision that the opinion of tho Hoard Is not final. Thero
Is a super-Board In the courts. Any film producer who doesn't like the arbi
trary cuts of tho consor may go to law about it. Thus the decision rests nt last
with the same authorities who would protect tho public from corrupt films If
there were no State Board of Censorship. But In between lies a slough of
despond filled with tho tlmo and money of producers nnd State attorneys and
with the precious patience of the public.
Is the Kaiser Improper?
As for the Kaiser Messrs. Breltlnger and Oberholzer appear to have gone
pro-Ally. On inspecting tho German War I'lctures now at the Chestnut, they
ordered the elimination of views In tho ninth reel showing the Kaiser and von
Hindenburg. As the general appears in other scenes It Is presumable that the
Kaiser accounts for the elements thnt are as the law has It "sacrilegious,
obscene, Indecent, or Immoral, or tend In the Judgment of the Board to
debase or corrupt morals."
Furthermore, wo hear from the management of the Chestnut that the Board
baa forbidden the use about town of advertising posters showing the faco of
the Kaiser. The Board It Is amusing to learn Is authorized by law to sup
press any poster containing matter that is "Immoral or Improper."
Possibly the events of this week may have a wholesomo effect on national
legislators now considering tho question of Federal censorship. K. M.

ment World
From "Simoon" to "Pollynnna"
To tlm Drnnntli' IMItor
The outlook nt the beginning or the
theatrical season was nio thing but prom
ising. Willi "Paddy Long lgs" nt the
Broad for n run nnd "The Rlrth of n
Nntlon" at the KorreU for several
months, our choice of amusement wns In
deed limited.
Not so at tho picsent time, when we
have light comedy, melodrama, extrnvn
gnnra and nn occasional thriller. Surely
one should Mud something to satisfy his
wnnts.
The Little Thcatie company Is ceitaln
lv dcscivlng of till the pinlie It Is at pres
ent receiving. They ate gaining confi
dence In themxelves with each new pio
duction anil the splendid new inembeis
they me necnslonnlb adding to their casts
Is evidence of the sincerity Of their un
dertaking. Simoon." one of the phs leccnll.v
witnessed at theli little playhouse, was
of tho t.pe ue me seldom piMlegcd to
enjoy on tho spoken stngc. A clminnl
houso In the desert Is nut u very 'iiJo
nblo place, to lie sine, but here ic weie
Heated to a little tuigedy wherein our
spines were allowed to Indulge In a few
shivers nnd our ccs ucie treated to a
stage setting worthy or a more inden
tions thcatie. Not mil) the seeneiy It
self, but the costumes and acting weie
all th.it could lie deslicd. espcclallv so
In the case or Malic Baer. In Miss H.ier
the Little Theatre has ,i young thcsphiu
who Is a ciedlt to the aggregation. Of
nil the roles she has essn.ved thus fai.
her efforts In "Simoon" stand out as de
cidedly worthy.
In direct cnntiast to "Simoon" Is "Polly
nnna." on view nt present at the Broad
Street Thcatie. A sickening sweet con
coction, served to us by the mest efficient
coterie of mummers it has been our good
luck In witness. Let us hope this is the
Inst of such honev buncombe. Arc we
to look forunrd to nn all-star cast In
"Elsie Pinsmore" or "The Hollo Hooks"?
What would have been the lesult If an
ordinary comiany had been cnllel In to
sprend this glnd message?
The 'above, with a row .slight changes,
could lie Mttlngly applied to the pioduetlnn
of "The Chief," lz: "The Chief was con
spicuous for two vcrv good leasons John
Diew and Laura Hope Crows."
"The Passing Show." the Winter Har
den Conipun) lias redeemed Itself for
the recent "Mnld In America" seen at
tho same theatre recently. Thanks
to George Jluurcie, we were treated to
something better than "Over your heads,
j ou big Swede," etc, handed us by Flor
ence .Moore, of "Tho .Maid In America"
aggregation. The scenery and costumes
may have been made In America, but the
date was not mentioned. Indeed, soma
of the chorus ladles were obliged to wear
the same costumes two and three times
during the evening.
Not so In "The Passing Show." Al
though the company has been playing
quite a few months, very few substitutions
have been made in the cast and tho scen
ery nnd costumes looked fresh and new,
ut a io rate.
In closing, let me ndvlso nil those who
have not been to The Little Theatre, on
Do Lancoy at 17th, to take advantage of
tho opportunity and gothls Frldn or
Saturday to see "(Hcrtoncs," which slnnds
out as the choice hit In the collection of
the four plays offered. Have you not often
remarked, "Mrs J. Is clever, but sho
really does not mean all she says, etc."
Imagine being present nt a confidential
chut between two friends, henilng them
exchange compliments, while nt (lie same
tlmo their real selves nro giving vent to
their Inmost natures. C!o boo for your
self. AMATEUR.

In Praise of the Little Theatre
To tin Pimtuittc i:dltor:
Sir It was my pleasure to visit tho
Little Theatre last Friday evening and
thoroughly enjoy the work the clever
piople nro doing theie. I wns surprised
to Hud so much enjoyment for the small
outlay of .10 cents admission, which surely
cannot be enough to definy the expenses
of the four little plays put on. I wish to
call attention to the last one, called "Loe
of One's Neighbors." Aslda from its
s.atlie upon human nature, It teaches a
deep les.sou upon the subject of giving
to c hnrity promiscuously and should bo
seen by all poisons who havo been ill tho
habit of handing out donations to those
not known, instead of giving through nn
oiganlzatlon llko the Society for Organ
izing Charity, which Is Just now trying
to gain 10.000 new members Many dol
lars will be turned to the right channel
If the message of this little play Is
understood. . A. II. P.

Hallet will bo nero.
Turn In n riot call!
The nr.it bit of nonsense concernhiR the
Tlnllel Itusio Is that Its work embodies
a now nnd powerful phllosophv of lire.
This has been urcd by n critic on tlio de
fense. If he Is rlRht then nil tho moralists
who clnmor for nn nrt devoid of every
reference to life nro rlBht. Tho nnllct
Tlussn hns no moro to do with pin
loiophv than it hnH to do tilth sex.
Whereby enters tho second point.
To speafc of scv and the IliisRlnn Ballet
In thu same breath Is ns npt ns to speak
of lemonn nnd tho Sahara Desert. Iloth
exist, no doubt. Uoth are facts, ns mod
ern thinkers nro fond of sayhiR. Hut tney
haven't tho sIlRhtcst thlnR to do with one
another. ,Tho Husslnn nallet Is not a text
book, It Is a combination of the three
aits of dnnchiR, music and scene pa ntlnR
for the pui pose of produclns a sIiiRle or
feet of dramatic icprcscntnllon in cer
tain enscs the drama so produced Involves
the principles of black maRlc. et no ono
has stiKRCSted that tho llusslan Hal ct Is a
. ..... .nni. ..nn.. ,1, n urn ni.nl human
belief In the prlnclplo of the ndcstiuctl
blllty of matter. Ono of tho loveliest or
the bnllets Is concerned with a- rural cclc
Inntlon in Ilussla. The ballet has not been
naked to repeat this number for the benc
llt or classes In Itusslan sociology. Ami
the two ballets previously mentioned am
theie's tho rub.
The point at present Is that tho ballet
can bo criticised on certain grounds and
cannot bo criticised on others. You may
say that their dancing In Inferior, al
though you piobnbly will not, nnd jou
may say that you do not like their choice
of music. You may deploro the use of
Debussy for tho Faun dance. You mny
say that the performance of Schchereznde
Is vulgar or that of tho Kami repulsive.
(Incidentally, the "truth about the hnrcm
scene" In the former ballet Is thnt It Is
dull. It nowhere approaches tho revelry
and abandonment of tho Gertrude Hoff
mnn version, and the sight of lovely Rus
sian men nnd women dancing mincingly
Is rcnllv neither voluptuous nor orgins
tlc.) The thing you cannot say Is that the
Russian Hnllet iilll bring up tho iiuestlon
of how far nrt can go In Its discussion of
tho relations between tho sexes, because
the Russian Ballet does not discuss these
relations. It has ns much to do with dis
cussion as a problem play hns with para
bolus or cmphteu9l8. Mko many normal
men and women, the Russian Ballot ac
cepts life fully. It doesn't havo tho te
incrltv to discuss sex nor nny desire to
discuss anything. In that It differs
vastly, oh, vastly. G. V. S.
