WELLSPRINGS OF THE DRAMA ‘Where the Plays Come Froth and Why They Come. ART IN STRETCHING TRIFLES Bewt I of American Plays—The Napeleon of the Forelgn Mar- ket—Suiting Plays Whers do all the plays come from? is perhaps as interesting a question as, Why Ao they come? It Is. at all events, a good deal more easily answered. Where they all go to is not so simply determined, and, Indeed, it doesn’t matter much what becomes of most of them. One thing is fairly certain; all the plays that amount to anything come sooner or later to America, not to mention a great many that amount to less than nothing. Some of them are greeted with an enthusiasm that does not diminish until they have visited overy nook and corner of wi s usually described as “our fair lan all the way, In fact, from the most expen- sive and pretentious theaters of Broadway to the “ten, twent' and thirt'" play- houses of the circutt Others are met at the pier by the battle- axe brigade and speedly put out of their misery, while still others are allowed to die lingering, but still early deaths, on the theory, perhaps, that suddea demise 1s too good for them. . Not e our plays, of course, are immi- grants, but a large number of them are, and of these a great majority come, like our language, from England, like our fashions, come from Parls, and a few are “made in Germany." Little of the Itallan output has reached us since Americans got to understand what D'Annungio really means. Now and then something sneaks in from Russla or Spain. The Scandl- navian importations ceased, of course, with the passing of the viking of the drama, Ibsen. Imported Plays. Nine out of every ten of the imported plays get to America through the hands of just one man, Charles Frohman. The English and ¥rench fields are his especial care, and he goes over them annually with a fine-tooth comb and a microscope. Mr. Frohman has been called the Napol- eon of the drama, and there's rumor that he doesn't mind it a bit. And, perhaps, it one could forget Waterloo, the charac- terization would seem more apt. But there isn't the slightest danger of Mr. Frohman ever meeting his Waterloo. Na- poleon knew perfectly well before ever he entered that justly popular battle that he was taking chances. But Mr. Frohman doesn't believe in tak- ing chances. He lets the other fellows do that. At least %0 per cent of ‘the plays that Mr. Frohman produces in America have been already produced by somebody else, elther in Paris or London, and liked a %ood deal there by persons in the habit of spending money in theaters. Mr. Froh- man's formula fs: “What Kngland or France have liked, America will like, too," and experience has shown that it is un the whole a fairly workable formula. Oc- casionally it fails. It fafled, in the case of J. M. Barrie's gastric comedy, “Little Mary." London llked that immensely. America begged to differ. “It was too subtle for you," sajd London. ‘‘We don't like plays about our stomachs” retorted America. Few, indeed, are the French or English dramatists of consequence upon the Amer- ican rights of whose plays Mr. Frohman bas not a practical option, even before t plays are written. J. M. Barrie, Henry Arthur Jones, Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, Captain Robert Marshall, H. V. Esmond, R. C. Carton, Sir Conan Doyle, W. Somer- set Maugham, George Bernard Shaw and many others are virtually under contract to him. And the beauty of it, from the manager's point of view, is that it thelr plays fail in London it isn't necessary to bring them to Ameriea at all. This is highly desirable, but it's a trifle inconsiy- tent with the Napoleonic legend. Restricted Home Market, Oceasionally Mr. Frohman does produce u play by an American dramatist, but it s a rare exception when that dramatist is not & man of proved ability, such a play- wright Augustus Thomas, who would Iike to be a politiclan, or. the late Clyde Fitch, who didn't care to be. It is said that Mr. Frohman has safes ana safes crammed to bursting with plays bought ot American authors which will in all prob- bility never be produced. One native mutist boasts that he has received $,000 in “advance royalties or other payments, on plays of his that Mr. Frohman will mever produre.

Fifty years ago three-fourths of the people of Spain were totally illiterate. In 1857 an elaborate system of compulsory pri- mary education was ordained. This sys- tem never has reached the perfection of it program. The public scheols of Spain now have 1,700,000 pupils, approximately 10 per cent of the Yotal population. The public schools of the United States have 17,000,000 pupils, or 2 per cent of the total popul And yet other nation in Christendom. From the day when the fion., In the United States there are also Moors and the Christlans were sworn several million puplls in the parochial enemiek each of the other, hating with that gchools of the Roman Catholie church and approximately 1000000 in other private schools. In Spain attendance upon all private schools is 30,00. The ety of New York expenda upon its public school sy tem annually. three times as much money as is spent upon edication In the entire kingdom of Spain. The public school system of Spain is, of course, under the influence of the Catholic church. According to the American point of view the schools should be nonsectarian, but even in this country It is insisted that the public schools have some religious ser- vice, such as the reading of selections from the Bible. In Spain the people are almost unitormly Catholics, and it is nat- ural that the schools ‘should reflect that faith. The latest religlous census showed only 6,654 Protestants, 402 Jews, 9,645 Ra- tionallsts, 510 of all other religions, and 13,175 whose religion was not stated. That is, there were only ahout 30,000 people out of a population of nearly 2000000 who were not professed Catholics. It 1s evi- dent, therefore, that the clerical and anti- clerical controversy in politics is not so fuch the result of a movement agalnst the church as it Is an internal warfare within the church. Prof. Ferrer, as the champlon of the modern school, gained the friendship and sympathy of progressive thinkers in all parts of the world for his able and untiring efforts to introduce the modern sclences into Spain. Spain fs the only country in Christendom into which modern sclence has been unable to penetrate. Prof. Fer- rer's books were the means of starting an agitation in favor of modern education. This was opposed by the conservative por- tion of the population and by the extreme clerical party. It was pointed out that in those lands where modern science relgns, religlon 1§ on the wane. This was suf- ficlent, in itself, to invite the opposition of the clergy. Finding the church arrayed against him, Prof. Ferrer permitted his Spanish spirit of intolerance to get the better of him. In one of his books he declares that religious education inculcates falsehood and teaches foolishness. He declared that the Gospels relate only to the life of the so-called Jes Christ, and that it was truly a misfortune that such ideals should exist for the pur- pose of deceiving the people. He was, per- haps, the first critic of Christianity to from the day death there have i the Iberlan the fanatic In- Mohammedan displayed, but the long ere to Averroes, infidel the death of a Ferrer with his n of -eruelty have be charged with actuated by the sincere motives. the most henious God, the mis- could not have physical cruelty allied have been ‘e nearly one; deny the quality of merit to the ethics of the lowly Nazarene. Few of Ferrer's followers go o far as he in the denunciation of religion. The vast majority of his sympathizers and of the iiberal party, which Ferrer's death brought to power inSpain, are Cathollic Clristians who are convinced that the best Interests of both church and state would be served by & complete separatfon and by the elimination of ‘the clerical finfluence In politics. It is diffloult for Americans to under- stand the lssues Involved. Perhaps the greatest governmental reform in the his- tory of the world was instituted when Thomas Jefferson persuaded the legislature of the ‘colony of Virginia to adopt the statute for religious freedom. It was the first law guaranteeing to every man the right te think for himself, and it was a decres of absolute divorce of the chureh from the state. When the United States came Into existence the Virginia notion prevalled and this great republic is the only nation in Christendom in which Phere 1s no relation whatever between church and state, and yet no nation is more amenable to religious influences. It the present crisis in Spain shall end in the separation of church and state, and ghall bring about the solution of the reli- glous problem, Spain will be free from religlous controversy for the first time in eighteen centurfes. The introduction ot Christlanity Into Spain lighted the fires of martyrdom at the beginning of the second century after Christ. Christians were burned at the stake for refusing to worshlp the Roman gods. Under Constantine, Christianity became the state religion, but it was not long until the great conflict be- tween the Trinitarians and the Arians agitated all Christendom. More blood was shed over the subtle questions raised by hair-splitting Christian theologians than had been spilled by the pagan persecutors of the early Christians. Then came the invasion of the Moham- medans and the struggle which for seven centurles racked the Spanish people. Finally the Christians triumphed, the Moors were driven from Spain, and the crescent of Islam forever banished from western Burope. The same religious zeal which destroyed the power of the Moors also drove the Jews from Spain, lighted the fires of the Spanish Inquisition, sent Columbus on his voyage of missionary dis- covery, and established negro slavery in America. The intolerance born of religlous con: tentions, Spain carried Into its political administration. The result is that i, once world-wide empire has vanished, and the mother country what seems a hopeless struggle. Spain presents the spectacle of a nation being strangled to death.

As a matter of faot, Mr. Liebler's share in the huge theatrical en- terprises conducted in his name consists largely in signing checks for expenditures for which Mr. Tyler has contracted. Only recently an old and wise theatrical map was asked who, In his opinfon, was the best American judge of the possibilities But the brokers |of an unacted dramatic manuscript.

Compared to it, next week's weather is a simple thing to foreteil. Even the whims of an operatic prima donna are easier to forecast than the future of an un. acted dramatic manuscript, even though Oscar Hammersteln may not think so. Perhaps the one quality that above all others makes Mr. Tyler the excellent judge that he s, is the quallty of imagination— the ability to visualize a chasacter or a scens, to see what the actor will look lke, how he will be dressed, how his volce will sound, to assemble intellectually all the various elements of a dramatic entity until there Is preconstructed the total Imipres- sion that will be made upon an audience by the completed work of dramatist, scene painter, actor and stage manager combined. In the last theatrical season ' Mr. Tyler supervised the production of something lke twenty-five new plays, %0 per cent of which were by American authors. The percentege of success was very high.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, or her agent, we will say, approeches Mr, Tyler and remarks: “I've got a play that will suit Miss Robson.” Mr. Tyler is will- ing to be shown. He hears all about the plot of “The Dawn of a Tomorrow.” It interests him. He calls for the manuscript. He Ifkes it even more after reading it. It will sult Miss Robson. But will she think s0? the play will seasons, Providing Theatrical Fi But there's Miss Allen—what's g.ana for her now? be good for at least two to be Somebody tells Mr. so—that F.

Turn we now to Lee Shubert, head of the biggest theatrical firm that combines the management of a large chain of theaters with play production on a big scale. Mme.

Mr. Walter knows the Russian's methods. He knows how to suit his craft to her He understands his trade and he has signed the contract. Good! Mr. Shubert breathes a sigh of rellef.
