The name of the author la a guar

In every phase of Its being;, and criticise
It with the Intelligence of a scholar and
the experience of the theatre habitue. ,
After a foreword with his "fellow
playgoers," the author takes up his sub
ject. In the right place by beginning
with the audience. To the careless or
unobservant, the . audience, seems - to
have ve- little, relatively, to do with
the success or failure of a play, but
that it does, and that it very largely

simplest and most conclusive way, via:

result they have had on ,him aa an In

chology of crowds, that Is so familiar
to every one, is largely usea 10 aemun
' strata the author's position that the au
dience la almost , entirely responsible,
not only for the success or failure of
the play, but for the very character of
the play Itself, ,
Mr. Caftln does not agree with the
oft repeated assertion of managers that
'Shakespeare apells ruin," for ha says:
"If the worda mean-anything, they must
reftr to the unwisdom of spending large
sums on a single production. If, how
ever,' they Involve the Insinuation that
a manager cannot live by producing
Shakespeare, the falsehood Is demon
strated by the experience of a conaider
able number, both in this eountry and
In England. Especially in the Indus
trial centers, where men and women
know the rigor of Ufa and ita . most
stringent form. Shakespeare ia popular."

In almost every one of the 17 stories,
Dr. Doyle has had something of real in

working medium of most of the stories.

"Long Odds," by Harold Blndloas. ,
This time Mr. Bindloss has chosen for
tne scenes or his story. Africa, and
given it a very appropriate title, for
it is a tale of the heroic adventures of
an Englishman who was dismissed from
his country's service for a crime ha had
not committed, and afterwards won his
way from the depths to success against
long odds. In his struggles he was
ably seconded by an African mission
ary, ana when his fortunes were at a
low ebb, by a tradeft who. when dying
shortlv after, requested the hero to free
his the trader's slaves. Before he
could carry out the wishes of. his bene
factor the mantatlort m-x raided nnrl
the blacks were carried off and into, the
interior. p.otning daunting the quixotic
Englishman started In pursuit. 1 and
after many months of adventure In the
fever laden swamps, succeeded In hi
undertaking, and with the assistance of
another Englishman who lay off the
coast in a yacht, got the blacks out of
me country.
Some years after lh hem f th
adventures had left his country, he was
oequnamea a Tortune, ana witn tnia te

not as plain sailing as should have
come to sucn a crave and courageous
hero, but throughout was unexpected
and out of the ordlriarv. and. whlla ut.
lafactory was not what the reader was
tunning ror in tne early stages. A. rat
tling love story can be managed by al
most; any writer, of ordinary Intelli
gence, but to weave Into It strange
places and strange peoole, with- their
habits, customs and traditions, requires
keen perception, ability of ho'ordinary
kind, and a mine of general knowledge.
