In other times The Bee has pre sented its opinion of Clyde Fitch and his plays. “Barbara Frietchie” offers no new or even any reason for altering the judg- ment expressed. Fitch doesn’t pretend to depth. He posesses some inventive faculty, and unlimited assurance, and his creations are essentially his own. Barbara Frietchie 18 unlike any other girl, in or out of fiction and there is much reason for feeling thankful for this fact. Mr. Pinero Is worthy much more serious consideration, for he approaches the problem with which he deals in a spirit of philosophical contemplation, and undertakes the elucidation of at least one phase of the everlasting problem. In Mrs. Tanqueray, as in other instances, he finds himself confronted by the barrier erected when society first took on concrete form, and over which any woman may climb going, but never returning. Mr. Pinero handles the toplc with admirable ekill, and succeeds in arousing much sym- pathy for the woman, but he doesn't suc- ceed in locating even a cranny in the wall wherein she may hide, much less a way by which she may mount it. For tke benefit of those who were at the theater on Thurs. | day evening, it may be said that the real Pinero play is not the somber-hued thing | they saw. Capably interpreted, it has some light and much color In it.

THE THRILLING-MELO-DRAMNA The Moonshiner’s The Sensational Nelo-Drama Katherine Willard, one of the most suc- cestul of mew stars, who was here early this season, will be at the Boyd for a single engagement Thursday night. The reason for glving Miss Willard a return engagement was due to the great personal success she achieved on her first visit. The company returns with {dentically the same personnel as on its former visit. Wallace Worsley, the leading man, 1s still with the company, despite the rumors to the con- trary. “The Power Behind the Throne" tells of the love between Aria, the daughter of the court musician and the son of the ruler of the principality. He is loved by a powerful countess, who plots against the life of Aria in order to win him for herself.

Once upon a time (“longtemps passe” I think some of my friends call it) there was a man who had been burdened with the companionship of what was considered in those days a most Incurable disease. And the man, his name was Naaman. Now this name-man heard that he could be cured by a prophet whose name, it was Elisha. And 50 he went to see Elisha, in his special car, with his porters and valets and so forth. But Elisha was not & bit Impressed by the style in which Captain Naaman of the Syrian army traveled, and instead of com- ing out and working a miracle there while the captain waited, he merely sent out one of the servants and told Naaman to go wash himeelf in the Jordan. So Captain Naaman was very angry, and, being heated, he sald: *Are not Abana and | Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Isracl? May I not wash in them and be clean?” And the historian says that “he turned and went away in a rage.” But the others got around Naaman, and they told him not to act so, that it was foolish, and that if the prophet had told | him to do ““some great thing,” wouldn't he have been mighty glad to do it, in order to get healed? So the story goes on to tell that he did what he was told to do and was immedi- ately healed. Now this story s told of a man that lived hundreds of years ago. But the moral is good for today. Every teacher has had experience with the pupil who will neglect that simple lit- tle detall of practice which would mean | s0 much, and without which no lasting good can be obtained. Many a pupil would be willing, say, to walk fifteen blocks daily, If assured that thereby a great gain would be noticed in the volce or in the fingers. But they will not give fifteen minutes a day to careful study of breathing, position, finger work, wrist relaxing or any of those little things which go to make up the essentials of cor- rect work. In the Majors heroine we have an en- tlrely different sort of woman. She h: all the youthful bloom of Barbara and she knows the consuming passion of Paula; she has some of the weaknesses of each and more strength than both. And altogether she much the most satisfying of the three. If her manner seemed Imperious and her way willful, remember that she was daughter of one king and sister of another, and that at a time when a king of England really counted for something more than one in the census. If her manners were not the most polished, it should be recalled that she was a lady of the sixteenth, not the twentleth, century; and if her language shocked at times, particularly the readiness { with which e dealt with words that are generally represented in print by dashes, remember that it wasn't a great while be- fore in that same Merry England that Sir Harry Percy, called Hotspur, had begged his wife, Kate, “to swear me a good round mouth-filling oath; none of your ladylike minecings, such several objurgatory expletives that sound real naughty when used nowadays, any one of which would serve to not only fill a lady's mouth, but ‘would well nigh choke her.
