[TTERLY against the a tthor's desire or intent of course. Edward Knobloek’s plays have a happy way of getting themselves talked about to an extent somewhat out of proportion to their literary or atistic importance. “The Faun.” which seryed William Favershara for only a few short days, was- cried up from Broadway to the drama league center at Che^ervllle. “Marie-Odlle,” with its touching on the religious and its Sensationalism provoked a much louder chorus of yeas and nays. “Milestones” evoked more printed discussion in America
the possibilities of film profits may assure a showing for plays so merltorlus from the literary viewpoint that they would have no chance on Broadway. If the matter of metropolitan approval can be disregarded in the ease of one Arnold Bennett play it may be disregarded more happily for art in the case of a better Arnold Bennett play. Eventually, the pietjures may become the authentic savior and guardian of theatrical art.
It is a happy thought
All this wailing against the disastrous effect of film capital and consequent influence in the theater is based on two gratuitous assumptions. One is that the general artistic level of the films, as conducted today. Is

•haps It is. The matter Is at least
with rich evidence
of the decade except “Mrs. Warren's Profession.” which had obvious' advantages in the contest. And “Tiger! Tiger!” revealed to Indianapolis audiences this week, is no exception. The question of probability is what seems chiefly to agitate the theatergoer. That aspect was prominent in the published discussion which followed the premiere many months ago. Could a fastidious English gentleman and member of parliament, arrived at middle life, normal physically and mentally and well-hardened to feminine wiles, leave his rooms for a walk one night, meet and fall madly in love with an illiterate London cook? The question, thus put. ought to answer itself. Measured by what is typical in life the event is fantastically improbable. Measured by what Is typical in the theater it is not so improbable. Measured by what occurs later in the same play It is highly probable. It depends on the point of view and more, on individu-
al temperament.
Greater faults than improbability, which it shares with much of Shakespeare. can be charged against “Tiger! Tiger!” Its extraordinary superficiality. for instance. The theme, or part of the theme, with which Knoblock seems to be occupied. is that the chasm between people of widely different social worlds will in the end prove an unsurmountable barrier to a lasting union. Instead of working this out honestly, by revealing fundamental and Inevitable differences of mind and outlook, he gets them to the parting of the ways by tricks and superficialities. She tells him she is a cook—-dfily a cooking girl. The first slight feeling of revulsion touches him. He lifts her hand to his lips, remembers the dishwater and lets it drop. The family for which she works has been lunching on cabbage. She uses cheap scent to neutralize the odor In her hair. He gets a whiff c.»il they are a step farther apart, figuratively and actually. Such childish trickery crowds the play, taking tho place of an honest clash, based on essentia'**. But, as acted by Miss Starr.

cal effectiveness.
debatable, with rich evidence to be adduced on both sides. The other as sumption is that first class plays, that Is plays first class from a literary or artistic standpoint, are bad plays for the purposes of the films. What the picture producers we after is a story. Any number of Excellent plays, including Shakespeare's, tell an elaborate and dramatic story. Because such plays happen to have merits of style or profundity, or truthfulness, is no reason that they should he rejected by the picture magnates who may control the theater. On the contrary, It is possible, as the case of “Sacred and Profane Love" suggests, that plays of sound merit by distinguished writers

The name of Rose Coghlan should set many an old-timer mooning over the days that are no more. Her career Is a record of the American theater for the last fifty years. Back In 1872 she was appearing with E. A.

Other attractions will be the Revue Comique, with songs, dances and pretty girls; the Four Lyons, tight wire wmlkers; Maurice Downey and company, presenting a playlet of domestic life: Vernon and Rogers, boys who specialize in up-to-date harmony numbers; Mabel Whitman and her Dixie Boys, who offer “A Jamboree of Jazz”; the Somers Duo. revolving ladder workers who rank high in the circus world, the Laughner and Core, conversationalists. There will be the usual pictures with a Fox film farce. “Twilight Lovers"
featured.
Further light is thrown on the question as to the relationship between the theater and the pictures by the plan to make a film of what has been regarded by competent judges as the soundest and most "literary” play of the season, Eugene O’Neill’s “Beyond the Horizon.” Another highly rated play, “The Letter of the Law," made from Brieux’s “The Red Robe," is to be transposed to the screen. "Sacred and Profane Love.” by Arnold Bennett, a piece well above the current average and of enough merit to jusify reading in its published form, is likewise to be ladled out to a vaster audience through the pictures. The producers of the last say that, regardless of its success on Broadway, the piece will be filmed. George Jean Nathan and others to the contrary notwithstanding, it is I conceivable that picture money and
mous pieces “Caste,” “Cli
of Paper” and others now mostly memories. In the early nineties she was appearing in “A Woman of No Importance,” In the later nineties in “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray,” in the early twentieth century In “Mrs. Warren’s Profession.” From Robertson to \\ ilde, to Pinero, to Shaw—a significant cycle! Miss Coghlan was last here at the Murat in a lurid melodrama. In recent years she has been wandering In and out of vaudeville. The piece in which she will appear at Keith s was made from one of her greatest successes of the old days,

The ladiaaapslis News Boreas, WASHINGTON. Apri^^lV^lTThe hope of getting an accurate exp^basion of opinion on many of the gubjects t^iat are likely to be commented on In the Republican platform th!» year, the advisory committee on polian <! plat form, of which Ogden Mills, of New York. Is chairman, ha* sent out thousands of questionnaires persona throughout the United States on more than a dozen subjects. These questionnaires are being set t not only to persons whose names are on a prepared mailing list compiled by the committee, but also will be sent to any one else who is particularly interested in any of the subjects on which comments are solicited. It is hoped to get answers to the questionnaires from a sufficient number of persons to give the advisory committee A definite basis on whir tv to make recommendations for the planks thgt are to go into this year s platform. Subjects of Qaestloaaaire. The subjects on which questionnaires have been prepared are: Industrial relations and the preblems of capital and labor; international trade and credits; limitation of federal and state control and regulations; the high cost of Jiving; bankmg and currency; agricultural pol - eies; the merchant marine; regulation'! of commerce and industry; the railroad problem; federal taxation; conservation; immigration. Each questionnaire is complete in every way. Each was prepared by an expert on the particular subject and the questions were framed in such a way as to give the advisory committee 1 an intelligent idea, from the answers received, as to the sentiment of the country on the various questions. rovers Whole Immigrant Field. The questionnaire on immigration, for instance, begins a short and unbiased discussion of the immigration situation, before and since the war. and then gives twen / questions, with many subheads, relating both to the policy toward immigrants prior to their admission to this country, and the policy toward them after they have been permitted to land. These questions give opportunity for answers that will define fullv the particular opinion of the answerer as to the degree of restriction*. If any.' that should be adopted; attitude toward Asiatic immigration, distribution of immigrants, effect of immigration on American labor. Americanisation of immigrants, citizenship rights of Immigrants and deportation of undesirable aliens. The questionnaire on federal taxation Is perhaps the most complete of all. It covers fifteen pages, starting with a fair and comprehensive outline of the present taxaflon situation and giving an accurate view of the problems that confront the congress In the enactment of new tsx legislation or the revision of the old. Ta* Mituation Reviewed. After a number of questions havo been asked as to tax policies in general, the questionnaire takes up the income tax and dev9j.es nearly twen-ty-five questions to it alone. Excens profits tax and substitutes for it. including Uie general tax on sales, are taken up. Opportunity is given for a discussion of all other taxes and for discussion of the general features of tax law administration. Each questionnaire is as complete in its field as each of the above. Es-li must be signed by the answerer, who ’is required to give his address and the nature of his business so that the advisory committee can determine both that the answers are In good faith and whether the answerer has any particular iaterest in the subject under discussion. It is understood here that a great many answers to the questionnaires have already been received. When a sufficient number are in hand, the committee will go to work to conpile the Information received In such a 'way that it will be immediately available to the platform committee of the Republican national convention and so that the final writing of the platform will not be a question of guessing at glittering generalities but will be a problem of phrasing the actual nee’ds and wants of the country in a definite and understandable manner.
