" why Lorimer Stodaard satirical comedy *‘The Que L bave been twice to the Columbi to see it, and have not succeeded covering the frue inwardness of the con- nection between the name and the play. Others more clairvoyant profess to be reveling in a satisfactory answer to the prob! but most of them give different reasons for the name. ‘‘The Question” suggests Meyer Helmond’s pretty song, dis- “The Daily Question Is, Lovest Th: Me?” There is a vast deal about love in Lorimer Stodderd’s comedy, but the | *Question” might apply to a dozen dif- For instance: Question— ed woman flirts as desper- Cannon did, does she nct some of the rvetribution that tureatens to overtake her in the last act? I am sorry *The Question” a greater success. The third act is so brii- i ant it deserved a betier fate than the 1wo preceding acts brouzht it. The finel scene depicts the chambre ard a woman’s ately as Ann deserve hasnot been nte of ciub, when one memb trying to rail- road through a measure to further her own vengeance. Wom clubs are cur- jous things, as people who have pene- trated into their inner mysteries and seen them ata boiling point know. (That re- | minds me, 1n the play Mrs. Stone-Marble says: “We must strike while the iron hot, and now it's boilinr. I can hara. imagine iron as an effective instrument for striking when in a seething condition, but that’s adetail.) People who have seen tie iron of women’s clubs at a boiling point must have been struck by the fine dramatic poss: s of a clubrow. The only difficulty to the ordinary mind is to imagine a strong enough motive to make the audience hang spellbound on the pro- ceedings, more or less parliameutary. which are apt to occur when the iron boils. Lorimer Stoddard has imagined a sirong dramatic motive for the club session when the iron is at boiling voint—nothing less than the raiiroad- ing through of an act of expulsion w hich will blast a woman’s reputation and incidentally settle the destination of a for- tune of millions. He has added 1o the effectiveness of thes:ene by making uman burst in on the joyous irrespousible pro- ceedings, goaded by his desire toaid the ac- cused woman. Nothing but acourage born of love or profound chivalry couid inspire such a deed of daring on the part of a male interioper. The audience recognizes this and takes John Cannon to its heart for his bravery. one man’s firmness changes if a little untrae tolife. My knowledee'of women’s clubs would lead me 1o believe thata mere man conld revise the whole code of the Medes and Persians mote | easily than be could change u decision once voted upon by a woman's club. Mr. Stoddard may have had experiences which | Jead him to believe that ladies—even club | ladie —can change their minds. The pity of is that the young plav- wright foundations of 1his really tplenaid climax on two acts of wearisome chatter and hackneyed stage effecis. terest can be found in tbese two acts lLes jefly in the way Annie Cannon flirts with & lady-killer to punish her husbund for a platonic friendship with a beauntiful philanthropist. The woman who gets the best of an apparently neglectful spouse by | trifling with another man is pretty sure of the sympathy of the audience, bt she is very old—older than **The Wife,” older than ‘“Rebellious Susan.’’ The elder Dumas dali-d with the piaued wife, and Dumias fils made one entire play outof her—and there are others, lotsof them. In fact the pigued wife issoold that ber origin is lost in the shades of antiquity. Stoddard’s deyice of Jétting a woman hear bersel! talked about from behind a screen is pot exactly new, either, and the mis- taking of one woman for another at a ball by the exchange of clonks was one of the few brilliant inspirations in the now de- funct “*Social Trast.” The finale of *“The Question” is so good, however, that I can quite imagine a man- sger with such a fine aggregation of women as Frawley possesses enthusiasti- cally accepting it on the strength of that The way in which that | the whole | course of the proceedings is very dramatic, | has found it necessary to lay the | What scant in- last act. In the galaxv of female talent it | « ed, Gladys Wallis took 10 her lit- tle self a large share of the honors. Geor- gia Busbey, who made her first appear- ance with the organ zation, created a strong impression. She was not smtably ast as Miss Van Rensselaer, for that pia- c, pnilanthropic friend of Jobn Can- | non’s should have been passce, and Miss Busbey looked in the very heyday of her | youth and beauty. Touchingly as she | said those pretty, paihetic words, “I have | money, jewels, dresses, everything—ex- | cept love,” she was too young and fair to give the sentiment convincing effect, One | smiled at the ideaof such a lovely crea- | ture sighing in vain for love. spla | Poor Eleanor Moretti was heavily han- capped by the role of she devil, “within s well as without,” as she casunally re- | marked before donning the she-devil | dress. In accordance with this amiable confession she was hLizbly melodramatic | to the smallest detail of her part. “Go to | town for my dress.” she exclaimed to her brother with the air of Lady Macbath ad- | juring ber hesitating spouse to slay Dan- | can. Miss Moretti was not to blame for making the she devil ridiculous so much as wes the author. It must have been very hard to tuke her part seriously. In | the last act, where tne female Mephis- topheies was given a chance to be wicked in real earnest, Eleanor Moretti rose to | the occasion and covered herself with glory. | The remdining fourteen women who | had speaking parts all did themselves | proud, not to speak of their dressmakers, | who undoubtediy deserved a share of the applause. Costume is beginning to play such an important part in thedrama tnat | it would never astonish me to heat the | | audience " call ** Modiste! Modiste! Speech!” Now tuat Emperor Wiiliam hias taken to painting stage scenery pres- | tige will be given to the scenic artists, | t20, and the least we can do will be to have | a bow from them. It will not be fair to | leave the electricians out in the cod, | in the near future we may find ouruelves devising a way for “lumping” the honor due to the ladies and gentlemen who min- ister to our love of co.or and finery. Actresses, particu.arly in the East, raise many a wail about the ruinous cost of dressing up to modern requirements. Periaps if the modiste were allowed to | trip down to the footlights and make a | speech she would take a big percontage | off her bills on the score of “‘zlory re- ceived.” MARIE EVELYN.

How Shrewd People Profess to Have Bunkoed the Box-Office on Account of Rottanzi's Ordinance. A newspaper man is telling around town a theater-nat joke on Al Morgen- stern, which the treasurer of the Baldwin repels with scorn. The other nignt, according to the news- paper man, the daily paper which he rep- resents gave him a couple of free passes to the Liliputians, He was accompanied by his wife, who wore an extra big matinee bat. More tharough carelessness than through any desice to infringe Dr. Rot- tanzi's ordinance,the lady omitted to| remove the consiruction. As the play | proceeded the couple found to their d gust that the dialogue was in German. don’t want to sit t out,” whispered the wife. *Keep still, and refuse 1o take off your hat,” replied the husband, who saw an usher approaching. The myrmidom of the Lheater, with great suavily, begged the lady to remove her bat in compliance with the law. “Itis fer own hat, and she means to wear it,” replied the newspaer man, and the wiie adaed that no Mayor or Supervisors could dictate to her how she should dress. “If the lady reiuses to remova her bat | she can bave her money refunded at the box=c mc‘i but she cannot stay nere with a hat on,” said the usher politely but firmly. ry well, we will have our money back,” said the newspaper man brskly, and when be teils the story he chuckles and adds: *“We got it, tvo. The box- office never cuessed that we had come in on free passes. We got one ahead of the Baldwin that ume.” Al Morgenstern says the story reflocts on the business ability of bis box-office and that he wiil pay a hieavy inaemnity to any one who can bunko him into paying money on free passes. However, Senon ¢ vero ¢ ben trovato, and the story is going the round of the corridors and foyers. Another hat story which the two bun- koed box-offices blushingly admit comes from O Farrell street. A lady wentinto the Alcazar the other day wearing a big hat, which she refused to remove. At first the ushers presented her with cards, politely requesting the removal of her hat, put she placidly disregarded their bints. Afier an hour bad passed the ush- ers grew sterner and argued with her. Avother half hour was whiled away in temporizing and finaily the oman bounced outin indignation, saying: “I sup~ pose 1 can zet my money back at the box- office.”” Not wishing 1o create a scene the treasurer paid her the money and asit was late and the rush for se; was over, he had time to obse: ve hercross the street and enter the Orphenm, A comparison of notes showed that the same performance was gone through in the home of the vauaeville. As long as vossibie the wearer of the hat persisted in keeping it on and when the ushers had exhausted entreaties and threats, she bounced out indignantlv and cot her money back at the box-office. Her even- ing was not a very placid or cheertul one, but she bas the proud satisfacsion of The acts will be of a | ont of at least a part of a free show. The most refractory hai-wearer on rec- ord 1s reported from the Orpheum. Sne camearrayed in all her glory, surmounted by nodding plumes and glowing flowers and accompanied by an escort to whom ber will was evidently law. *Iwon’t taka off my bat, I won't take my money back at the box-officeand I won’t budge from this seat,” she said to the waiters, when they remonstrated about the har. The ushers retired and talked the matter over with Manager Morrissey. “Mage an ap- peal to her escort’ said the diplomatic manager, and detsiled a smooth-ton :ued waiter to use his eloquence on the zentle- man. “The management will be fined 1f the Iady per-ists in wearing her hat,” said the waiter, plaintively. *“Let it be fined,” teplied the escort, unfeelingly. ‘“Her: my name and_address,” handing a_card. “I'll puy tue fine, and be hanged 10 this lady’s bat stays rizht where 1t is.” And we had to let it stay,” said anager Morrisey, “for we could not very well turn a lady out bodily, and arzuments were wasted on that woman.” Diplomacy solved a hat problem at the Baldwin the other day. A stern, de- termined look:ng woman entered the bal- cony wearing a huge picture hat. When the usners asked her to remove il she crushed them with the remerk, I don’t anprove of the ordinance and shan’t obey ir.”” The ushers reported the case to Al Morgenstern, who promptly summoned to his aid the special officer of the Baldwin, who wears a dress so like a policeman’s that it is hard for any one but an expert to know that he is not a regnlar *‘cop. “Madam,” said the special officer, ap- proaching the woman in the big nat with his most policemanlike air, “you must give me your neme and address. Tbe manager will be fined to-morrow morn- ing, and when the ca-e ccmes up in the Police Court you wi:l be subpenaed as a witness, and—"" The officer had not got any further before the hat came off with a rush, The other theaters report perfect do- cility on the part ofall their lady patrons. At the Tivoli and the Columbia it is the rule to wait and see whether the bat comes off. 1f it remains on an usheris sent with a card, and at intervals of five minutes or 80 other ushers repeat the card-bearing act till the woman, worn out Ly the attentions of which she is the cb- ject and the notoriety she is receiving, finally succumbs and takes off her hat. It is a noteworthy fact that last Wednes- day, at the professional invitation mat- inee given at the Baldwin by the Luli- putians, the women who wore thie biggest hats and debated most abous taking them off were the actresses present.
