Don’t flout it when it riots unashamed in Tourteenth streot, only to flirt wih it when you meet it on Broad- way, disguised in its Fitch wig or its Caine whiskers. Believe me, the undisguised article is wholesomer. Fourteenth street has the best of it “The Ninety and Nine” is nearer art than “The Hternal City,” and “Jim Bludso” than “The Girl with the Green Byes,” Yes, nearer art! And that includes a great deal. Better writing, for instance. (Oh! fsn’t it bold of me?) But, honestly, now, there are speeches, and plenty of tham, in “Jtm Bludso” and ‘The Ninety and Nine” that are not only truer to life and char acter—straighter from ihe region of red corpusclee—than anything in the output of the Caine or Fitch play-factories, but are actually written with a finer instinct for the cadences of the Enlish tongue and a keener valuation of the spoken phrase as an ingredient in the emotional cocktail.

Leave him to me-e-6-e!" As for stage realism, the locomotive at the Academy and the burning of the Prairfe Bell at the Fourteenth Street are both livelier and cleaner than Fitch's plaster Apollo or Caine’s wax Pope.
