mA UN About ILPERT MILLER, now a the. atfioa! “producéf in London, | has come out in the London| Daily Express for straighter and | stronger dramatic criticisms. He says | there is such a thing as “excessive Consideration” on the part of the re-| viewer, and ho declares it does injury | to a noble art, \ _ “Stern and unending criticism is Gdubational,” says Mr. Miller, in hip interview. “Without it art must wither and perish. No Governmen @an be really good that lacks oppo- sition. Reconstruction is the watch- ‘ord of the day and the theatre needs , it as much as any other institution. ‘Me critic is a potent, instrument in the cause of reconstruction. Do not! iat him stint his praise where praise is due. Do not let im modify his . censure where it is deserved. Above | B all, d= not tet bim damn our ‘plays fe with faint praise, Most managers would, 1 imagine, prefer to know the cota truth and at once, and so put an _ th to uncertainty.” bi ‘The interiew iy to the point, all right, but where does Mr. Miller get the idea that the real critics do ‘nut tell the candid truth, as they can) pee ft, in thefrswritings? And why, after all, isn’t the@ublic the one great eritic of the dranm? ee eee + te HER FIRST MASH NOTE. | Miriam Battista, the tiniest girl in ‘ tho kiddie section of the “Florodora” sextet, at the Century, received a) mash note yesterday. It was-in a; scrawly hand, and {t read: j : * “Dere Miriam, I was to ‘Flour- % adoris’ with my father and my mother and I saw you kiss that littel voy dancing with you, I wisht I was in the sixtette.—Dilly M.” a LitUe Miss Battista. wishes it dis- . a tinétly understood that the osculation ; sne indulges in during the perform- ance is merely of the stage sort, noth- ee, ing more. j fi oa JIMMIE WAS IMPRESSED.

There is a faker at large whose | chief object in tife appears to be to/ defeat us in, ow race for tho: Presi- dency, Word has reached us from P. | Solomon Buster, President of the) Pleasant Hour League, formerly tho Bunghole Club, that a man, repre- senting himself to be Dudley, ap- at a soecting of this onganiza- tion Thursday night and made an ad- dress in which he said he didn’t care whether those present voted for fim or not. He made the league so mad that @ resolution wes passed later condemning our campaign. We there- fore wish to state that we have a lange nose and a lisp. Voters are Po- ested to examine men who address em, dlaiming they are Dudley, for these salient physical points; also, wo might state that when we&smie we display two very nico dimples. We did not address the Pleasant Hour League, and If the members will come into our fold we will permit each one to send usianh egg beater and a new tooth brush. We want their votes. Now, a word to those Limerickers who think our Campaign Mapager, Jefferson Shrewsbury Nutt, is a boob! Mr, Natt was born in ‘Frollope, Kan., of very respectable parents, nevertheless. The education he has he aswembied while selling hokey pokey candy in Kansas City for a firm headed by g dentist. Hin wife is of the famous Bone family of Ivory County, Mo. He ha&'np personal am~- vitions in this matter other than to get ail the money he can. When you seo him in the Duar tenrronye* parade you will realize what a béan- tiful character he is. Mr. Nutt will personally pin the badges on the Jadies and will kiss aM the babies offered. Now, to-day’s trick limerick, dear friends, is wpt to muddle you all up. The missing word is one that fre- quently sets neighbors crazy and, also, brings about scandel in church it, don't walt—send it in, together with the usual cheok for $200 and a wrist watch and the rest will be easy.
