New Tork, Deo. 20. Broadway has a
real Christmas play for the first time in

show of ths season, either stage or nat

The play has not much of a plot; tt

I am In favor of women In the jury
box. Women have a finer sense of
Justice than men and, on a jury, would
have just aa thorough an understanding
of the responsibilities resting upon
them. And she would be fearless, while
to her Intellectual equality wtth- her
brothers on the jury she would add
the sixth sense of Intuition often so
necessary in court. Her viewpoint
might be different from man's, but men
differ among themselves; besides the
mixed Jury seems to be to 'offer Just
what Justice needs; Severity tempered
with Indulgence.

Juries, real justice is a myth.
Without mentioning other countries.
In England, I am sorry to say, the men
are more and more coming to regard
lightly the offense of men who ruin
young girls. Male juries, dealing with
these brutes, indulgently give them
light punishments. Women should be
called upon to serve on such juries, as
I well as in all other cases where, what
here in France are called "crimes pas
slonels," are the Issue.
In our courts, property is held more
sacred than a woman's or a girl's
honor. Man's view prevails. With them
it is property first, life afterwards.
Women put it the other way round.
Lastly, men consider it a nuisance to
have to serve on a Jury. They get out
of it if they can. A woman places
duty on a higher, more sacred plane
than that If called to serve, serve

to have lost the knack. But a contri
buting cause, heavily responsible, is the
moving picture theatre. Every city in
the United States is now honeycombed
with "movies," there being one or two
in every neighborhood, easy to reacn,
without going downtown.
St. Louis, for lnstanoe, has about
700,000 inhabitants, and last year there
were 64,000,000 paid admissions to the
"movies' in that city. The picture
houses now put on a few vaudeville
turns, and some, in New York and other
large cities, maintain stock companies
to Intersperse the picture with tabloid
dramas. Admission ranges from a
nickel to a quarter. When one, for 6
cents, can run around the corner and
get an evening's entertainment, without
an automobile, and without "dressing
up," it Is small wonder that the expen
