i “ville. HEN doctors disagree, patients must look elsewheregior a cure. | Folks generally are inclined ito have their own way, and often they forget that there are such things as doctors and their similitudes, even the dramatic critics. Time out of mind the beauty and the dramatic worth of Shakespeare—meaning the pla)‘.~.a|1d, not the person—have been commended for public consumption by writers who hoped thereby to uplift the public taste for drama. Once in a while a sage writer comes along and literally tears the Shakespearean plays, as such, to tatters, and insists they should remain as literary glories off the stage and in books only. Another extols the majesty of the Greek dra_ma and measures all productions dramatic by the rules for its construction. Still another fairly howls for genuine modern drama, which he defines within narrow limits. And through it all the general populace throngs the vaudeville theaters, falls over itself in getting to see the most daring revues and even finds real joy in musical comedy. | * % % 3k ERHAPS education and experience have made some men wiser than the general run and have fitted them to give good advice, especially m matters theatrical. But it is not uncommon for a large audience to fairly revel in a play during an evening, laughing and applauding and going away from the theater thoroughly satisfied, only to find the next morning when the reviews are read what sorry idiots they have been to | spend their money for such entertainment, and just how technically andl terribly bad the whole performance was—in the judgment of the educated and experienced writer. Something must be wrong in such a case. It may be that the general public doesn’t know what is good for it as does the sage reviewer, and it may be that the general public in search uf| something to amuse and entertain it is going to have what it wants anld be glad to get it even if it docs not stand the acid test of the great ezitic. Critics have woeiully lambasted plays and productions, and even players, only to see aif three of them rise to the heights of glorified popularity. On the other nand, plays that have met with the highest approval of the critic mave peen known to sicken and die almost before the glory of their “premieres” has faded from recollection. What is the cause? Shouldi the erftics endeavor to get together, and at the same time in lguch with popular desire, or should the hard-headed old world crash on with every-; body having his say and doing as h; plcaits: * YCHOLOGY, which some laud and others abuse, some study and others ignore, in its scientific analysis of the humag mind, suggests that people have moods and temperaments, and it also suggests that there is a sort of human perversity in trying to create the effect of sun- shine on cloudy days, while on days when the sun is unusually bright and beautiful a mood or a temperament likes to introduce a contrast. What | is true of sunshinc and shadow, in fact, as they are gdherally understood, is also true of human joys and sorrows. The gay heart can stand a little depression and profit by it, while the sad heart must be lifted out of its depths with an artificial stimulant. This peculiarity of humanity may often account for the difference of opinion as to whether a play is good or bad, and if it does it behooves those who are interested in plays al_)dl their shadow counterparts, photoplays, to be just a wee bit cautious in accepting the judgment of others, for one can never tell precisely what are the moods or conditions that suggest that judgment. Reviews and criticisms, therefore, are not absolute, but rather suggestive, and when you feel like tearing the hair of some reviewer who has swatted your favorite play or player with a heartless swat, simply possess your soul in patience and remember that tastes, even like people, differ. The critic is wise, of course, but even he. also, is human. Tk Ok X ¥ LSEWHERE in this section of The Star today will be found an ac- count, by a thoroughly reliable New York authority, of a theatrical entertainment whose audience was made up exclusively of ministers'and people of the mimic world. It illustrates a spiritual truth, that the lamb and the lion shall lie down together in peace. Personal associatio, per- sonal acquaintance and the desire to better understand one another, and, above all, the exercise of that blessed spirit of consideration, the one to- ward the other, will unite two of the greatest forces in the world today for real good. Personal bickering and personal advertising of the one at the expense of the other will drive them further apart. Let us have a little of the genuine Christianity which is glorified in doing good and is inconceivable as an authority for doing personal injury. * * OHN PHILIP SOUSA is coming with his famous band. Washington J knows the fame that has come to its great band leader and composer. Tt knows that the inspiration that has fiade him the march king of the world in musical composition has also helped to put life into.many an-} other program of entertainment not of the military type. His work has the snap and the sparkle of genius, and we are proud of the fact that he once belonged to us. Already the local organizations with which he is still affiliated are preparing to give him a royal welcome. * * * ¥ * THE suave nonchalance with which the metropolis disposes of its un- wanted material is illustrated in the fact that “Let ’Er Go, Letty,” which was declined by Charlotte Greenwood, has been renamed “Lola,” and is now being offered outside New York. with Helen Shipman in the leading role. Miss Greenwood’s new piece, “Letty Pepper,” is a different musical attraction. “Lola” may come this way some day, and it is well to remember the fact. * ok % ¥ NNOUNCEMENT is made that William A. Brady’s new play, “Up the Ladder.” by Owen Davis, is about ready, and Doris Kenyon—not Doris Keane—will have the leading role. * A EWS note states that Jerome Kern's royalties irom “Sally” 4and Good Morning, Dearie,” exclusive of returns from the sale of songs, amount to about $175,000 a year. This is an indication that there need be no “hard times” in the theater, if the theater offers something worth while. Charles Dillingham has just spent $3,000 to “reshoe” the last-named musical comedy. * %k % * ¥ ok K THE Irish Players, recently seen here, are said to be meeting occasion- ally with the amusing experience of disapproval of American-Irish authorities who do not find them or their plays truly Irish from the American standpoint. * %k k% “QOMEWHERE the sua is shining” and some'wher'e _somehody is' being regaled with the Greenwich Village Follies, which' the closing of the theaters to protect life and limb denied to Washington. Here is what one of the critics says: “One does not often see the clever farce follow the purely esthetic and the ribald succeed the entrancing in quite so nice exactness as the exactness which pervades these Follies this year.” Just think what we missed! * k¥ % BALTIMORE is finding “The Skin Game,” John Galswe(_thy's greatest play, probably not so fine as “The Silver Fox,” or so poignant as that unforgettable drama known as “Justice,” but both in theme and treatment it finds its appeal more universal than either of the other plays. It may interest those who did not see it at the Garrick to know that a re!urnl engagement of “The Skin Game” is announced' by the Garrick manage- ment for the week beginning March 27. * %k ¥ X RUMOR is persistent that Washington is'to have its finest new theater and opera house very soon.

She is an immense favorite on Broadway, ani usually is the sole headliner, often topping two bills im the same week. Lyle Aida, the famous prima donna of “The Fol- lies” and of “The Midnight Frolic.” is rated &8 one of the most beautiful cf the Ziegfeld school of musical ex- travaganza and is considered one of { B! the greatest accessions to vaudeville this “séason.

IO NCE in & while the annals of the theater record the instance of a player who refuses to drift along the current of prosperity and popu- larity, whose work always is marked by a clear determination not merely to do something in a theater, but also to do something for the theater. Such is and for a long time been true of Margaret Anglin. a record of achievement and as evi- dence of fine energy. resourceful capacity and a hospitable mind, con- sider her programs of the last ten years and see if you can name any other player on the American stage whose work in the same period sur- passes it.
