LONDON PESSIMISTS RAP PRESS AND STAGE Zangwill Deplores Decadence of Mimic Art—Hewart Decries Newspapers. ! By the Assoclated Press. | LONDON, December 9.—Two *“dis- mal Jimmies"—wartime name for pessimists—were heard at public din- | ners held over the week end. Israel | Zangwill, who has written several plays in his time, deplored the deca- dence of the stage at a big theatrical | dinner, and Lord Chief Justice Hew- i art, who confesses to having .written 3,000 newspaper editorials, deplored the decadence of the press. Mr. Zang- will sald: “I used to lament that the drama. which began as a religion and continued as an art, was ending as a business. It is no longer even a busi- ness, for the London stage as 2 whole is not a paying industry.” He re- garded the theatrical business at present as merely a gamble, owing largely to the enormous theatrical rentals. Lord Hewart told the Institute of Journalists: “If a man lives in peace with his wife there Is no copy in it, but if he; hits her on the head with a chopper, she takes him to the divorce court and there are headlines, even special editions. “It is the same with foreign rela- tions. Suppose a man acquired a great deal of money and puts it into so0ap, mustard or tobacco. His opin- ion matters no more nor less than it | did before. But suppose he puts the i i i | i ! same woney into double rotary ma- chines for printing a newspaper—his merest whim or caprice may become You Will Get FAIR Treatment in Dental Work From Us.
