A WRITER In the London Times says': I "What Is It that the public wants? That Is, today, as eveft a diffi cult, question to answer. One thing may be said for certain. It does not want the kind of smart and vacant cleverness: which was admired before this war. L To succeed tinder the new conditions, a . play must have 'some stuff in 1C either of thrilling Incident or of hearty humor. Minds and hearts must be taken by storm; favor won as by violence." , ' f , ' NEGOTIATIONS are under Way whereby Nicholas Dunaew, Vita graph player, author, dramatist and legitimate i actor, wilt present his lat est work, t "The Spider." a three act drama of Russian life among the nobil ity, in a Broadway theatre. - Mr. Du naew will !be seen In the principal part.
