This is termed "The Theatre Advalcing." The interrojw. i tlon point is lacking, but. one feels that Mr. Craljf hai it in the back of his Jnlntl. Like similar volumes from his pen. the new one is one vast question mark. It debates everything, and set tles nothing. But one charge, at least, cannot be made against it : it is cer tainly not overrun with "commercial ism." 'Mr. Craig writes in a sprightly, though colorless, way. It is obvious that his intent is to stimulate thought about the theatre, not to lay clown rules for its progress. But there is a point t which the vision of the creative dreamer veers off into the myopia of a man who cannot make up bis mind what lie wunts, and only knows that uearlv everything that awry one else is doing Js' wrong. .The Russian, dancers he find3 'Vie phantine" ; he does not believe thu' ppntry can be beautifully spoken by Vnglish speakers (this from the son of ' J!eu, the Glorious). The marionette 'f,iu ideal." Precisely. But how to rca ", it.' Mr. eats dramas are i "not for 1he stage " The mere fact that some of them "act beautifuliv" and have been performed with popular approval is disregarded. Applause is crude; we do not, it seems, applaud the. Atlantic ocean. And so on. Mr. Craig knows a lot. and he mean", oh, co well! But. if his habit of aimless dreaming continues he may one day wfafce up, a lime-lit Rip Van Winkle, to find that the practical producers he contemns have accomplished actual art reforms not dreamed of in his nebulous philosophy. A POET recently remarked that he eared not who made the laws of his country just o lone as he could watch Its dances. His wish wou'd have boeu ineasurablv gratified the other evening lad he seen a very excellent dancer. Hal Skelly. nt the Forrest where that nimb'e exponent of Terpsichore bounded about the deck of the stage shin nnd over the floor of bis stage-friend's drawing room. The A'bany lawn is the Ecene of one of the most novel dance numbers of many seasons. "Dancing." said Mr, Skelly, off eepne, "is one of the best exercises to fceep one healthy. It requires constant practice to keep fit and this necessitates early rising and early sleeping, which people of the stage do not often care to cultivate. If persons wou'd only devote wore time to the old-fashioned waltzes nnd two-steps instead of trying to out do a man with a shiver, they would soon find their every action graceful and their poise a thing to be regarded as an asset. "Take the difficult feat of doing what 5s technically 'known as 'the snlit.' It Is very easy yet so uiauy people are afraid to attempt it. lf course, I be gan to do it when young, but I believe that with practice each day, any one can perform this feat with ease. Originating the dances which we (meaning his part ner, Louise Groody) do in this show was not difficult and thov took only a little over a month to perfect.-' is an idealist at 1 1 WHO'S WHO AMONG STAGE FOLK HERE WmmUwymtWti C ' 3?w& gJHHH& Immmt' - 'BIHHPHiHKX " & 'w ruth cHAttERTDrA WmmMmm .j&m KWs - , 7 NN $..

Over in presenting two plajs with just the on- ppsite appeal. F'rst ho raised the ire or tne nuntanical by his production of tne unurapert rlraina in "Aphrodite and now he gives the stage "Tho Light of the World." In seeing the first of these productions, one is awed bv the scarcity of fabrics. In thp latter, how ever, there is much covering of body and uncovering of tho human heart. "The Light of the World" is designed to take the place of "Ben Hur" and "Experenco" and it is likely to bring to the theatre those who now only ven ture out for a travel lecture or a re cital. It is a forward -moing drama. Though the action is Mow the story advances to a grand climax when the man who impersonatoo. th Cbrist at Oberammergau walks out of the humble carpenter shop to tale up his role in tne 1'assion t'lay in the Baarian vil to be taught to idance. Indted, that is , what every person who goes on the stago should know how to dance. Dancing' gives poise and ease the sense of phvsi-1 cal well-being resulting from dancing, from rhythmic movement to music, has j its effect upon the entire bod , and person who knows bow to dauee is never at a loss a3 to what to do with i his hands I "I know the benefit of dancing, for I have been a dancer since childhood. My dancing lessons gave me confidence when 1 was on the -.tage and I never get stage fright. I was cleien ears of age when I made mv tirst professional ap pearance. It was with my sister. Plo. and we had a little singing act. But 1 Was always eager to dance, and my op portunity came rather unexpectedly. ' "re. was a big ballet rpectacle to bo staged aud the director, one of the best known in America, was exerting every effort on what he hoped would be the finest achievement of his career, Imug ine his despair then when one of the girls essential in the arious evolutions that had to be given with mathematical Dreeision tent word" that sho was ill astute manazer bv an" could not appear, l dearci aDoutj New York he is ner absence and 1 jumpeaat tne cuauce mat sueiuea iu inesem. iieii. x uc dared that I could take her place, that ' knew just what to do. The ballet master was dubious, but there was noth ing else for bim to do, and wltn littie belief in me to laise his spirits, he con sented to have me try to go through the evolutions. I was the happiest of mor tals. At once I donued the flutfy little ballet skirt and on I went. Well, I I don't think that I was the beet in the group, but I surely saed the situation for him and he was reallv grateful." ' Then Miss Irwin reertcd to the awk wardness of the actors of the ouugeri generation those -who cannot trnd proper instruction. "They are not to . blame." said she.
