MAT PLAYGOERS WANT

ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 18. (To the Editor.)
Henry Arthur Jones, the English play
wright In a recent aftor-dlnner speech oa
the subject of the "styie of drama the
modern playgoer wants," made this state
ment: "The dramatist relies, above all, on the
tastes and -wishes of the public It Is
that great faction that (must decide the
ort of drama they wish served up to
them, not tlie actor-manager, the stage
manager, nor the would-be star."
Ho goes on to say: "I am a believer In
the hum-JTiness of the modern drama, and
It Is real life. In all its pnases, good,
bad and indifferent, that I would depict
en the stage today."
This second statement is, I should
judge, an honest opinion; the first, X
thlr.li. Is a peculiar ono for a dramatist
to make.
He, of all men, should bo Independent
In Ills work. Instead of following the
wishes of' a fickle public, ho should work
for himself; then, if his work is worthy.
he is sure to have the support of the
great mas3 of theater-goers. The people
are always on the lookout xor something
cood, and are wilting to spend money for
it, but they are also just as Quick to
repudiate it. if it is bad. In my opinion,
thero is a great deal -of trutii in that
old adage, "the jlay's the thing."
So much for the first statement; now
for tho second: The theater is a place
afor rest and recreation, ana tne play is
the voluMe with which to amuse the
passing throng. People attend the thea
ters, not to see the bad side of life we
tore surrounded by that at all times but
they go in the hope of rorgetting for a
little t.me all the cares and troubles of
a hum a rum existence.
True, lessons are derived from certain
3"ays, but good can be taught and en
joyment extracted without the dramatist
delving too deep In tlie cirty problems of
life, and using them to construct his
play. There are other places than the
theater to learn these lessons, though,
to be sure, if thero is a lesson to be
learnt, and there are those In the audi
once who grasp it, they can congratulate
themselves on receiving more than their
snonej's worth. I contend that a good,
clean comedy or a standard classic car
ries more ronuine enjoyxnont with it than
all the problem plays that were ever
written, or ewr will be.
Henry Irving, who has. perhaps, hnd
as mu"h expedience with plays as any
acr living declared f "My watchword
sr.ust r.tcJs b an old one. It Is the one
word, ha.th Keep the drama sane and
uound and wholesome. I can say that 1
fcavo always endeavored never to produce
or take part in any play that a young
fellow might not take his sweetheart or
sister to see."
To turn up this rather disjointed letter,
the point I wis to make Is:
First- The dramatist with a really good
play -subject what you will Is sure of
success. The playgelag public patronizes
eucH plays, and it is left to tho play
Trl$rt to Fupply the demand.
Second-The theater is not primarily a
place m which to learn the lessons of
life, but a place of amusement; henco It
is not necessary for the dramatist to be
Btlr himself too frantically in an effort to
portrav -all the phases of life, good, bad
and indifferent." If he does, he is very
opt to bring forth a play not unlike the
telr.a which Irving classes as "unwhole
some." S. TERRY MKEAX, JR.

The subtle irony f the above lines of
verso when applied to the opera of the
present day cannot fail to raise a smile
even i-mong the Most guileless and unl
tl&ted of mutse-4vers. Recent operatic
librettos have feces so unsatisfactory that
European critics .say they accomplish
their purpose no bettor than the librettos
of th earlier days, which havo been of
1st rears the subject of s much ridicule.
Every one remembers how firmly Wag
ner adhered all his Mfe to his principle
of writing hie w librettos, a position
that 1 was forced to assume because of
Inability to obtain meritorious work from
Cher bonds than his own. Yet he had
plenty of offers from the leading librot-
ti'' or tne day. In la be is known to
3-:- iVrHnM uch a T-rmiserlpt with the
c.ur.ccrr.vnt that 11 heia the number of ,
23S5 in his library of librettos sent to him!
But perhaps the chief reason he had for
being his own poet was the conviction
that, as Flnck puts it, dramatic .music
must not "be a mere Uning to the poetic
costume, but that both the poem and the
music must be conceived at the, same
time and subtly interwoven that, in
short, the poem must be "dyed In the
wool" with tho musical colors.
The following satire, written by an Ital
ian, says the 2Cew Tork Sun. is a fair il
lustration of the way In which the text of
these old works were prepared by com
poser and librettist together: 9
How It la Done..
The composer goes to the librettist In
search of a writer who shall carry out
his ideas.
'I want a libretto," says tho composer,
"dealing with the love of a King for a
shepherdess. "What do you say to that?"
"The plan is a little too simple," an
swered the writer, "but we can Introduce
complications enough. The most impor
tant is to find names for both of them.
It Is my opinion, that tho King ought to
be called Ludwig and tho shepherdess
Caroline. What do you think of that?"
"Excellent."
"We must arrange the first act, then.
We have three numbers right away. The
first will be a chorus of shepherds, then a
grand aria, in which the King declares
his love for the shepherdess, and finally
another chorus of shepherds. What else
do you need?"
"Well, if it were possible," says tho
composer, "I should like a peasant's wed
ding, in order to introduce some music
on the style of 'La Somnambula,' "
"Nothing easier. We will have them
celebrating the marriage of a young friend
of the King's with a young friend of Car
oline's." "And that would give the opportunity
for a short aria by the mezzo-soprano,"
said the composer, delighted.
"Heart beats of the bride," suggested
the librettist
"Yes, and perhaps we could put In a
drinking song."
"Of course, by the chorus of wedding
guests. I'll look out after that. What
after that?"
"This tender tone," says the composer,
"will have to be contrasted with some
thing martial, like the 'Soldiers' Chorus
from 'Faust.' "
"Excellent. I'll have a group of re
cruits come unexpectedly to the wed
ding," said the librettist
"And I had a comic duet in my mind,
with a very taking melody in D flat."
"Good!" agrees the librettist. "I'll ar
range some accident that will bring that
in. The brldgegroom shall be taken away
to the war, as in 'Elsire d'Amore.' "
Music to Order.
"Then," continues tho composer, "I will
have an aria in C sharp. That must bo
sung by the King."
"Then he must go to tho war. Without
a war there is no reason why a man
should be King in an opera. Is that all
you want to put in tho first act?"
"Yes," answered the composer, slowly,
'unless some sort of national air, like
the Seguldllla in 'Carmen' could be
brought .In."
"Spanish or Polish?" asked the libret
tist. "Which do you think?"
"Well, we'll leave it that way. Eud-
wig"s country is either Spain or Poland;
we can decide which after a while. It
will be laid waste by an army of enemies.
Caroline will disarm the'invaders through
her singing."
"Splendid." answered tho composer.
"Then I will be able to bring In my color
ature for the soprano. But how will we
be able to get In the war?"
Tho librettist was not nonplussed. He
was an experienced man.
"A shepherd can look into the wings
on the right side and sing 'Oh I See, a
Warrior Comes!' then in the orchestra
the warrior's motive can be played. The
chorus of shepherds then sing 'A Warrior
comes. What may that be? What may
that be?' In tho orchestra the warrior's
motive continues, crescendo. Then the
shepherd who first discovered the warrior
steps two or three feet forward and
sings 'Oh, I recognize him well, the war
rior there. The warrior there I well him
recognize.' These few phrases and the
march of the warriors will be all that is
necessary to put the audience Into a mar
tial mood."
"Well,", asks the composer, "how much
will the libretto cost?"
"Two hundred francs an act," answers
the librettist, and tho bargain Is mada

Clarence Eddy Slighted.
A private letter from Paris to one of
the artists now engaged at Chautauqua
discloses the fact that Clarence Eddy,
the official American organist sent to
Paris, is not to be allowed to perform ati
the Exposition, says the Concert-Goer.
If will be recalled that at the World's
Fair preference was given to foreigners
instead of to Americans, and that, in
fact, in all we do we solicit this foreign
aid. It might be of great value to Amer
ican artists and their rights that now
before the programme of the Buffalo
Pan-American Exposition is too far be
yond the control of American hands,
some provision be made for American
musical artists, such as the French are
doing, to the exclusion of all foreigners,
today. There is to be a Musical Temple,
and a fine organ therein at this Exposi
tion. The question now confronting us
is, "Who are tho artists to be?"

Imperious, impatient, with eyes of an eagle,
Sho s!t3 In her Orient land.
And watches our armies as watches the beaglo
Tha wavo of the hunter's hand.
Her eyo 13 a-klndle, her heart Is a-burnln-r
With hata of the foreigners sway.
And sho thinks of tho hour when, an empire
o erturnlnar.
She mounted tho throno of Cathay.
Incarnate of ages sho handles a scepter
First fashioned ere Abraham's birth.
And back la the shadows her visions have kept
her
Enthralled with an elder earth.
"Of what are they dreaming; theso Occident
nations,
Theso mushrooms that grew In a day?"
Then bursts sha anew Into flerco proclamations.
This fury of ancient Cathay:
"Avaunt from my kingdom, yo sons of tho
stranger!
Fast flasheth the sword of Pekln.
For, by tha dread Dragon, behold there la
danger
My purple-blest city within.
Relock yo tho gates! ho! ye Viceroys, awaken I
E'er sorrow o'ertaketh the day!
Let. China sleep on. undisturbed and unshaken.
Still dreaming of ancient Cathay!"
But out from baso orgies and vile superstitions.
From dungeons and towers of night.
Young China is crying abovo her traditions
For Progress to let in tho light
Our armies aro marching, ttia nations'-are
knocking.
Old China la passing away;
Behold the grim. Orient prison-house rocking
In earthauaka of ancient Cathay.

English. Army Slanjr.
Strictly speaking, a "shavetail" Is a
"grlflln," or "coyote," or "rooster," but
frequently Is called a "pleblter," and per
haps Is known even mora more widely as
a "rlngtailed snorter." All these aro
terms of reproach addressed to tho
"rookie," or military recruit, in tho
United States.
In. the armies of the British. Empire tho
recruit is known by all these names and
worse. 'Your number's not dry!" That
is cavalry slang also addressed to tha
recruit If he talks too much he Is a
"yapper," if he boasts he is a "yahoo,"
If he giggles ho Is a "tee-hee." If he is a
toady he 13 a "pee-hee," if he is fat ho
Is a "brock barrel," "ga-bruks," "broche"
or "brok." Anyway, he Is reviled and
kicked around until he learns tho whola
slang dictionary and Is a soldier. "Clink"
Is the guard room, "scoff" means to eat,
"tack" is food or anything you can lay
hold of, "scabby" Is porter, "white tack"
Is ale, "black tack" Is stout, "fixed bayo
nets" is French brandy, "razors" is bad
whisky.
"Charpoi" Is dos3 (Hindustani for bed),
and from India, too, come "bobagee," for
coolc, and "rootee," for bread. "Mungl"
and "mungaree" are Maltese for bread.
Egypt gavo the word ,"saklna" for a
knifo and "kobrut" for a match. There la
not a language on earth but has furnished
some slang for England's armies.
Going to bed to tamble and toss and
dream; to pursue in vain the phantom
sleep through long weary hours and rise
to a new day unrested and unrefreshed.
That is the way with many a woman, who
is tormented by the aches and pains re
sulting from female weakness, and other
diseases of the delicate organs of woman.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was
made to cure just such cases and it does
what it was made for. It heals; ulcera
tion and inflammation, dries debilitating
drains, cures female weakness, strength
ens the body, soothes the nerve3 and
enriches the blood. It gives lasting
strength for the day and sound sleep
for the night.

Mrs. L. J. Dennis, of 828 East College St. Jack
sonville, Ills. f sought relief amonz the medical
