WHEN THE STORM KING REIGNS
Blizzards and Intense Cold Fail to Daunt Theatergoers in New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31. (Special.)
When the reports reach all points
of the United States o a storm
In New York, they come In the form
of dispatches, and they are all pretty
much alike, as far as headlines go,
and yet the question is how many
people really understand what such a
storm as the one we are passing:
through at present means In a city like
New York, -without reference to Its cli
mate. The cold is not the only thing
lo be dreaded, notwithstanding- the fact
that this is very intense, and In many
oases dangerous to life and limb, but
the heavy fall of snow, with the wind
blowing- 50 or 60 miles an hour, can
really not be described on the one hand
nor understood on the other. In the
flrst place, a storm like this blows up
over night, and when there is no warn
ing at bedtime, if one is a fresh-air
fiend the consequences may be amus
ing, to say the least. My first taste
at the present storm occurred at about
7:20 A. M., when I made my way to
the window to close it. Be it said
liere, before I was fairly awake I
found myself in at least eight inches
of snow, which was blown in half way
across the front room, covering over
completely with about four solid Inches
of snow a large Morris chair In the
window and other furniture. It took
at least three-quarters of an hour to
Khovel-snow out of tho parlor so that
it could be removed while it was dry
enough and cold enough to keep it
from flooding1 the place. I was fairly
Burprised to hear of about 20 others
who had tho same experience. This,
however, is most trivial, in compari
son to the hardship of getting around,
nnd at no time was such a feeling: of
thankfulness and appreciation sensed
concerning the subway as upon this
'occasion, for this was the only means
of transportation for many hours on
"Wednesday. "When you stop to con
Elder the enormous population who live
from 10 to 15 miles away from their
business, and that Is even not count
ing those who live in the Oranges, In
Brooklyn, on Long Island and all
around in the suburbs. For these
ithero is no recourse but to remain
over night at some hotel, and upon oc
casions of this kind the hotels are so
overcrowded that people are forced to
go from one to the other by the hour
before being able to secure a room
anywhere. Can any one Imagine what
this means for the factory girls and
Fhop girls who have only enough mon
ey to depend upon to pay a 5 or 10
cent fare? The scenes around the sta
tions, especially at the Long Island
Railway, were really beyond descrip
tion, with the hundreds who were hun--gry
and shivering, and with no way to
help themselves. "Vo are still not
dealing with the paupers. That harrowing-
tale need not be told at this
moment. However, it is upon occa
sions like this that the Salvation Army
prove their tremendous value, since
they serve assistance to the fullest ex
tent of .their capability, both in the
matter of housing and feeding this
class of people under circumstances of
this kind. One Is at the mercy of
chance for all supplies, since milk can
not arrive at Its destination except on
trains from out of town, and when
these are held up and milk bottles
frozen and then broken, there Is sim
ply a milk famine, and meat, butter,
eggs, everything else, is open to the
same possibilities. Nor is this all. for
during the extreme cold the probabil
ity is that the gas freezes, both in the
gas range and for illumination pur
poses. There are a few, but a very
few. people, who are supplied with coal
ranges. Thus it docs not need a vivid
imagination to understand what may
happen during these blizzards or
storms, whatever you choose to call
them.
Now the most remarkable thing is In
the face of such fearful hardship how is it
possible for people to get to the theaters,
and. still, they do. Of course, there Is a
marked falling off in the audiences, but
all audiences are large enough to make
one marvel that even ten people were
brave enough to come out for the sake of
amusement. On the other hand, it is prob
able, that the greater proportion of the
audience consists upon such occasions of
people who. being snowed up in New
York, qiass the time away In this manner.
It Is an ill wind that blows no one some
good; at least this Is what some of the
messenger boys thought on "Wednesday
night, when Harry Payne Whitney, who
held two boxes at Field's Theater, tele
graphed in from Long Island that he and
his party could not get In, but to see that
the boys from the different offices should
have the privilege of tho boxes. This was
WAS JULIET A
If So She Had Much Company,
NOW that we are on this subject of
the modern and "unpleasant" drama,
it is Impossible to refrain from re
marking upon Mr. Bronson Howard's con
. tribution to the. Herald's symposium of
last Sunday on what it called the "prob
lem play." If any one equals Mr, How
ard's knowledge of English stage plays of
the 19th century, he does not come to
mind: and Mr. Howard's knowledge Is
as analytic, as philosophic and as deep
ly human as it is wide. What he knows
about the evolution of tastes In the play
house, the gradual development of un
derstanding and sympathy on the part
of the actual public, would make an Im
!ortant chapter In the history of our re
cent civilization.
Highly characteristic is his opening re
mark that the very term ''problem play,"
is a misnomer. Invented to fit plays that
raise a social question, it is now applied
not only to plays that. Instead of raising a
question, enforce a thesis, but also to all
plays treating illegitimate love. In the
strict sense of the word, as Mr. Howard
wittily remarks, the only one qf Plnero's
plays that may be called a problem play
is "The Wife Without a Smile," and here
the problem, judging by the reports of the
English critics, Is what in the world it all
means If it means anything! But to Mr.
Howard's own words!
"There has never been a period of the
drama, in any age or country, from classic
Greece down, when illegitimate love was
not treated in a very large proportion of
the plays produced. In order, therefore, to
bring the term within useful limitations I
should define it something in this way:
'Problem play A play dealing with the
emotions of a fool woman of the late nine
teenth and early twentieth centuries.
"I think this definition will be. In effect,
though not. of course, in form, the defi
nition of the term adopted by future his
torians of the English drama."
Ever-Interesting Problem Plays".
From this point of view the problem
play is extremely Interesting at the
present moment, because the "fool
woman" still exists in droves sufficiently
numerous to form an important class in
our society. There are too many of them
off the stage to be Ignored on the stage.
I cannot Illustrate the exact meaning of
the term "fool woman" better than by
calling attention to the "fool girl." who
almost dominated the stage for centuries
because she was so numerous In real life.
I refer to the seduced girl, over whom en
tire audiences, once wept, and who can
hardly squeeze a tear now from the back
row of the igallcrj".
Mrs. Inchbald, as early as 1P0S. said that
this "unfTtrtunale" had then ceased to
Interest people if sbo belonged to culti

lays enjoyed the show by the thought
fulness of Mr. Whitney.
One might write for hours and still not
vdescribe a tenth of the incidents which
face everyone who lives in New York
during an occasion of this kind, and,
whereas, for the greater part telegraphic
dispatches exaggerate on one side, they
fail to give an adequate idea on the other.
Upon former occasions I have given de
scriptions of the auction sales of antiques
and of private houses, which occupy the
attention of a certain portion of New
York's population. This year there have
been more than ever before, since a very
large number of the St. Louis exhibits
were brought to New York and sold by
auction after holding the art exhibitions,
but not within years has a sale awakened
the degree of curiosity and Interest as the
one which is on this week, consisting of
the sale of the furnishings and effects of
Mrs. Frederick Nellsen, mother-in-law of
Reginald Vanderbllt, together with the
household furnishings of Frederick Geb
hardt, who is a brother of Mrs. Nellsen.
To say nothing of the things on exhibition,
the sights in the auction-rooms would
have furnished volumes for the comic col
umns and the conversation of those who
thronged to the sale was a revelation of
human nature, or, rather, of the weakness
of human nature. One beldame In particu
lar attracted the attention of every eye
in the auction-room as she sailed in en
veloped in sealskin and diamonds, to say
nothing of an air of supreme satisfaction
and porcine supremacy. As might have
been expected, her eye was attracted to
the cheapest picture in the room, which
may or may not have belonged to the col
lection of Mrs. Nellsen and Mr. GebhardL
After the limit of $5 she modestly bellowed
her willingness to give $5. Someone in the
audience, taking the cue, much to the
amusement of the auctioneer, raised her
two or three, and the lady trotted an
even pace, when finally it was knocked
down to her at an exorbitant figure. In
a delicate stage whisper she murmured:
"Ain't that a bargain? I tell you I know
good things when I see them." And to
tne edification of all present, she an
nounced In the same sort of a stage whis
per that she was going to sell some of the
things in her house and buy up half the
treasures that graced the home of "Reg
gie's" mother-in-law. This is only one
example and one type of the people that
you meet at the auction sales, which
really form a distinct amusement, apart
from the art atmosphere Inherent to them.
The musical cven of the week was the
debut of Eugene D'AlbcrL Carnegie Hall
was crowded to Its fullest capacity upon
the occasion of a concert at which M.
Ysaye conducted for D'Albert and D'AI
bert conducted for Ysaye. No one who
is interested in the musical advancement
of New York can fall to deplore such
sensational methods, as the concert was
far from satisfactory, and at best It fla
vored more of the circus than It did of
the concert. D'Albert Is a colossal artist,
and a man who stands at the greatest
height In his own line, which Is as pian
ist or as composer. The Influence of
such sensationalism Is. as I stated before,
a bad one, and nothing could be more
inartistic than to hear the Beethoven
Kreutzer sonata in Carnegie Hall, even
by such artists as D'Albert and Ysaye,
because a sonata is chambor music, and
chamber music Is Intimate or It Is noth
ing. As a matter of showing the attitude
of other great artists to this I will quote
Franz Kneisel, whose quartet concerts
in New York City are completely sold out
to subscribers to the full capacity of Men
delssohn Hall. Upon numerous occasions
there have been applications for one or
two hundred, more, than the hall In this
condition will hold. There Is a manner
of enlarging Mendelssohn Hall that Is
to say, the walls can be thrown open In
such a manner as to seat from one to
two hundred more, but even this Mr.
Kneisel has never been willing to do. Hay
ing: "I am sorry, extremely sorry, but
the acoustics would not be as perfect as
they are under the present conditions,
and I would rather lose that amount of
money than to take from the musical
qualities of the concert." But Mr. Knei
sel Is a gigantic musician, and not a
sensational artist. To such Influences
as his is due the growth of music In this
country, not to the advent of one, two or
a dozen sensationalists.
Owing to the prevailing storm D'Albert
was unable to All some of his out-of-town
engagements, and that It will not be easy
to replace these dates may be understood
from the fact that he is booked as solid
ly as it is possible to do, and, consequent
ly complications may arise. He will be
the next soloist with the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, and great interest
centers upon this appearance among
those who are really musical. Much
more interest Indeed is shown than In
FOOL WOMAN?
for the Drama Is Full of Them.
vated society. In other words, to be
"unfortunate" merely showed a weakness
of intellect, and so was undramatic. In
the latter part of the 19th century, and
first in America, about TO years after
Mrs. Inchbald's discovers', the seduced
girl, even of the less culth-ated and the
lowest classes of social life, lost her pub
lic interest. Since that time she has
been regarded simply as a "fool girl" and
useless to the dramatic writer except for
merely collateral purposes In a play.
The higher evolution of the married
woman in real life has been and Is going
on rapidly. The proper dignity of her sex
is asserting Itself. If she has a brutal or
unsympathetic husband we sympathize
with her breaking heart, but we begin
already to suspect that she is a fool
lacking the natural dignity of her sex
If on that account she turns to the love
of another man. We are becoming weary
of the woman who does this, and she will
soon be merely the 'sporadic "fool wo
man"of social life, relegated to the limbo
of popular Indifference, where the "fool
girl" has been waiting for her more than
a quarter of a century.
That Is a blast of common sense for
you, as fresh and stimulating as it is ex
perienced and wise! Iris Is a fool woman.
Hedda Gabler Is a fool woman. Both,
be it noted, are freely granted to be ex
tremely interesting. But neither Is likely
to hold the attention of the world very
long. Paula Tanqueray Is a very differ
ent sort of person. Hers is the oldest of
the professions, and the most universally
practiced.
As to Sudermann's Marlkke, at least a
doubt Is permissible. She is a fool
woman, but with a difference. About
real passion, sheer and unsentlmental
Ized, there is an Inherent nobility
which in our hearts we all Instinctive
ly recognize. Was Juliet a fool girl to
consent to a clandestine marriage?
Was Othello a fool husband to believe
the tales of an obvious villain against
his spotless wife? Was Lear a fool
father to give over his kingdom, and
to his two villainous and hypocritical
daughters? To Puck, it may be re
membered, all mortals were fools. Be
It so! Shakespeare understood thnt th
j truest and worthiest path to the sym-
puiny or an audience was to give his
characters the frailties of thCIr kind.
He made only one stainless hero; and
Henry V. colossal in all things. Is a co
lossal failure, on the stage and in lit
erature. After all. this question of fool or not
fool is hardly the final question. What
endures in the drama is passion, as
piration, sin. So long as it is true, and

If the opening of the week presented a
great concert with D'Albert and Ysaye.
the close was notable for the last pair of
concerts conducted by Safonoff, the great
Russian, who has aroused New York to
the highest pitch of admiration by his re
markable qualities as conductor. On
Friday afternoon and Saturday night
Safonoff again demonstrated his great
art and his reading of the Pathetic Sym
phony of Tscnalkowsky was something
that can never be described In words.
This was the piece de resistance. How
ever, his marvelous reading of the Bee
thoven Second Symphony was quite on
a par with the Russian work, and its
forcefulness and virility were fairly over
powering. In the presence of two such
tremendous symphonies as the Beethoven
Second symphony and the Tscnalkowsky
Sixth Symphony, the Schubert-Liszt
"Wanderer Fantasia" for piano and or

singularly out of place, and for some es

Up-to-Date Etiquette
of Stationery
Card Uagen That Are Not Ap
proved In Kantex-a Cities.
H
ERE are the latest principles of
the etiquette of stationery, as laid
down by an authority on the sub-
ject:
All visiting cards, from the nursery to
a bishop's palace, are of plain white
board, absolutely without ornamentation.
No crest, motto or gilt edge may appear.
. Hand-written cards have not been In
vogue since the Empress Eugenie set the
vogue for engraving, which had only ap
peared tentatively up to her reign as a
fashion authority.
A man's card is never so large as a
woman's. He is of less social importance.
The correct man's card this season
measures 3 Inches by 1 inches. It car
ries the name written out in full and the
club name In the lower left hand corner.
The cards of matrons and spinsters are
at last of one size, which the spinster
regards as a triumph of persistence over
vanity. That former little maidenly card
looked as though she were compelled to
admit her matrimonial failure in life.
Today, with her card 3 by 2V Inches, she
Is announced with the same ceremony as
her mother or younger married sister.
Her name Is written out n'li unless
she is the eldest daughter. Then only
"Miss" precedes the surname.
If the name Is Jones, as sometimes hap
pens In the best regulated families, her
mother's name would be in full, as Mrs.
Mortimer Stuyvesant Jones; her grand
mother, the dowager, merely Mrs. Jones:
the eldest sister, plain Miss Jones, with
out one redeeming smart preface, and
her own. Miss Margaret Stuyvesant Webb
Jones.
Cards are a third larger than they
were four years ago. when Initials were
permissible to accommodate this embar
rassment of riches In family middle
names.
Nearly all cards for metropolitan duty
carry the address in the lower right hand
corner, and at home days in the lower
left hand corner. The address of a coun
try house gives the name of the place and
railway station or the street and station,
though the name of place is much more
swagger.
For formal affairs the debutante has
no Individual card. Her name in full Is
engraved on her mother's card directly
under the mother's name. It Is only for
her personal use in sending gifts, oc
casional calls and small courtesies that
she appears unchaperoned.
Where a mother with a family of
daughters is receiving, all the names are
engraved in order of age on an oblong
Invitation card, or after the mother's
name is merely "the Misses Jones." If
there Is a debutante daughter with two
older sisters still without the ring they
appear as "the Misses" In one line and
the younger girl on a separate line.
Visiting cards are used only In sending
Invitations of the most general or In
formal nature. For musicales. a dinner
of a dozen or so, a smart formal after
noon reception for a debutante tea or a
dinner dance, oblong cards are used with

the lower right hand corner and the an
nouncement and hour in the lower left.
For ultra formal elaborate dancing re
ception, evening muslcale or very large
dinners the folded note invitation Is used,
with some expression of plcusure at the
thought of meeting the guest.
The question of titles on cards is of
little embarrassment to women in this
'country. There Is Just one rule; they do
not use their husband's titles on their
visiting cards, unless It Is a dual card. A
husband must go with the title. "Bishop
and Mrs. Sloane" or merely "Mrs. In
IUal Sloane;" "Col. and Mrs. Jones," or
no title.
These twin cards are useful for sending
regrets or paying formal calls when there
are men In the family, or In sending gifts.
Church dignitaries and military men
may use their titles before their names
or the full name without prefix and the
title in full under or in the lower right
hand corner. Most men over 21 prefer a
simple card, unless there are wives to be
gratified.
Cards for nurserjiand are so largely in
vogue that they may not be ignored. Tiny
scraps of cardboard with baby's name
and address and" date of birth are sent
with invitation to christening parties, or
accompany large cards of announce
ments. 'A notion new and useful is the cards of
appreciation to be used during the first
stages of mourning and cards of con
gratulation for births, engagements, etc.
There Is a blank space for the name and
one sentiment for many occasions.
The newest model for engraving cards
here is French script. The Parisian pre
fers a shaded Roman script, but neither
is so artistic as the shaded Old English,
which Is still In vogue. The French
srlpt Is thin and cheap looking and very
expensive.
In stationery, paper six inches by seven
fits the fashionable oblong envelope ex
1 actly when folded once. A delicate water
gray called spray, that Is just off the
actual white, Is better far than white or
cream.
Note paper Is possibly a fifth smaller.
But with this extreme of practical sense
In stationery are mixed up all sorts of
fads In addresses, In monograms and
crests.
The new monograms are extremely
small and very decorative. They look like
a delicate compliment to the fad for
crests.
Many of the dies for colored crests run
as high as ?S0, some up to $100. The
simpler Initials may cost $3 or 523.
When one adds to the expense of the
dies and engraving the hundreds of cards
and invitations and dozens of quires of
