waa impossible to think of anything
but Mra..Pat. She waa there; and she
waa wonderfully 'gorgeouS.'and she
filled the part of Paula to overflowing.
When aha had left town and you
were able to diagnoae the attack you
' realized that in spite; of the general
effect of being auccessful. the play
, waa bad in many dctaila. The elabo
- rate and labored explanations in the
" first act were as awkward as the pre
.face-to a 'dance of the trained ele
chanta. Nothing waa , distinct until
h 'rallerf tin and exDliincd that
ahe wished to take her twJ daughters
to aee MrV Campbell. Di. The Jour
nal think that either "The Second
Mrs. TanqWay" or- "The Notorloua
Mrs. Ebbsmith" tyat a fit play for '
' two young women to see, and if so, ,
which one had they better attend?
The answer waa by ail means go, anu
by all. means see Mrs: Tanqueray. It
is scarcely ."necessary to explain that.1
the woman was fortunate because' she
called me up. It waa - probably a
mere chance that she did ao. - She
might hate asked some one else and
in one case the reply would have been
."chloride of lime1 and its the other"
"utterly impossible." , .
I sincerely trust that the two young
women went to aee Mra. Tanqueray, ..
They probably didn't ,arry chloride
of lime in their opera glass bags and '
they certainly, were not injured -by
the performance. In the first place
they were accorded the opportunity
of aeeing Mra. Campbell, who is, -with
the exception of Mra. Fiske, the most
notable woman to be , aeen on the
stage of the amaller American cities
today. ' Show roe the woman who .
haa nothing to - learn from, Mrs. .
Campbell and I'll ahow you a prodigy
that will make you gasp. , Pinero haa
enough to answer for in the way of
poor construction, extravagance of -charactera
and misconception of life
without being' lamely . charged witk -
being unfit to see and 'bear. The

still , extremely interesting. - Paula,
who is rather ill-tempered and haa
nothing of the "higher life" in her,
finds that her step-daughter is en.
'gaged to marry a man whose dis
carded mistress ahe herself is. The
situation becomes critical .and all the

to ahow that. ahe-ia a treat woman

most unfit thing about Mrs. Tanqueray ia that tta very and purity and says: I know what you were at fciiean s
strength, its cleverness, blinds one to the fact that at the age. You hadn't a thought that wasn't a wholesome
vital point Paula'a character as drawn by Pinero one; you hadn't an impulse that didn't tend toward
awenrea from the clumb line of truth and lite. And by irood: Yon never harbored a notion you couldn't have
the same token Mrs. Ebbsmith's unfitness lies not in the
fact that ehe haa what we are pleaaed to term "sinned,
but that Mr. Pinero haa. drawn a woman too big for his
point of view ao big that when Mrs. Campbell acta the
part ahe literally, aa Bernard Shaw haa aaid, "plays
Pinero off the stage." He doesn't know what to do with
thia Frankenstein of his.
He stumbles around a bit .and ends by having Jier ap
peal to the aensationalism and prejudice of the more ig
norant in the audience, by hurling the Bible into the
atove and pulling it out again with a ecream,
.'www
Thia cry of indecency and unfitness is ' too ignorant,
too narrow, to be accorded any respect whataoever. I
confess that ao far aa I am concerned it ia beyond me
to aee wnerein the evil of Mrs. Tanqueray and Mra.
Ebbamhh liea. They have done what- is wrong.
Granted. They suffer for it, and you have the plav, its
theme and its plot in a nutshell But consider tor a
minute their wrongdoing,, over which we are having
such pious spasms of virtue. Is it portrayed in any
marmef" in- a "way to induce 1 others, no ' matter how
weak-minded they may be, to go and. do likewise?
TheitJt4a aot sude a particularly happy one. Surely
retribution comes swiftly enough to "satisfy the most
orthodox. And does thia wrongdoing hold a tallow
.'candle to the Crimea committed nightly on other atagea
ia Portland, Crimea which are accepted without ao much
aa a murmur, in spite of the fact that they are-presented,
in the manner-best. calculated to play upon the
imaginations of the simple people who see and evident
ly enjoy them? Unfortunately not
A nation of villagers" we haye been called. The cry
ot tne ignorant is beard ia the land. It doea not con-
sroasioed . about to a oarcel of children." And Paula
drops upon the ottoman, clasps her hands, noda her head
and crying out, "O God! A fewyeara agol" indulges
in a paroxysm of weeping. In short, she simply coin-1 ri
cides with the popular notion that up to a certain time
every one is innocent in thought aa in deed. That moral
fiber is not made until you reach the age of discretion.
That people are constituted the same until they taste
of the fruit of the tree, then to separate and go their
individual ways. Feeling that all people were created
free and equal, morally as well as every other way and
that ahe has cast aside her opportunity of being equal,
Paula givea up and commits suicide.
It must be admitted that Mr. Pinero has revealed bis
great skill aa a dramatist in many ways, not the least of
theae being the avoidance of a suicide before the. au
dience. But if Paula had been given her chancel If
Pinero had allowed her to see that she was an individual
and had the rights of the individual I If there ia wrong
for the unsophisticated beholder of Mrs.-. Tanqueray it
lies in this fact that Pinero permits her to apeak of
her innocent childhood, draw a picture of it and then
announce that she has changed so that she cannot face
her pure and catlike steQ.-daughter. It is to be very
strongly questioned that any such change occura.

In The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith" we have another
artificial woman, again, fortunately, played by Mra.
Campbell Agnes Ebbsmith is the daughter of plat
form orator and agitator. She marries and Uvea eight
wretched years with her husband. At the end of that
time she herself becomes a platform orator, loaea her
voice, becomea a nurse and meets an unhappily mar
ried man whom ahe nurses back to health. He and
ahe agree to apend their lives preaching their new

The man proves to be weak, excitable, egotistical, nope
less, but Paula still believes in him. He insists that
their partnership be something more than that of co
workers in reform. he holds out tor the ideal, until
ahe finds that he cares not a fig for her ideas. Then
she decides that she will have her woman's one hour of
triumph. -
From this point the play descends rapidly. A clergy
man offera her the Bible in the hope that it may re
store her to "respectability." She - takes it up , and
throwsvit into the stove. Why, in heaven's name, she
does this I cannot comprehend. She says that, it haa
made her eight years of married life accursed and that
heart and her
civilization, ine eame people not long ago rose in
their wrath and put down Bret Harte because he wrote
Tha Lock of Roaring Camp." Highly indecent workl
Walt Whitman'! "Xeatee xf Grasa" raised a hue and
cry that haa not yet downed. His name ia still anathema
upon the lips of-insulted virtue. George Moore's me
. moirs must needs be expurgated before they are allowed
to land. What would have happened had Guy de Mau-
Eassant written his tales and sought their, publication
i ; thia , country? And - yet the most' exquisite word
painting tfiat perhapa the world will ever read is bound
up between the covers of. "Flaubert and Gautier." But
are they to be found on the shelves of our resoectable
: public library?. Perish the thought! Nietischel Faugh,

Gertrude Atherton recently raised, her voice against

approval' Thia .called forth a letter to the New York
Sun in which Harris Merton Lyon said: , r r
"Our young people, are trained to write via the mag

live her own life, beyond the offer suggested by the
rector and his Bible, well and good. There were possi
bilities of interesting development. But she destroyed
them and subsided into an uninteresting person, bound
for England and a life spent in penitence because she
.had dared to be unconventional.
