NO MORE STAGE SOLILOQUY.
Old-Time l.bor-Sa vlnu; Contrivance
Rarely I'ned In Thrae Day.
Nowndnys playwrights are forced to
find a better way for a character to
"explain his designs" than to stand him
alone on the stnge so that he can tell
the spectators what he Is going to do.
This seems a little too easy to be quite
worth while, nnd the soliloquy which
merely transmits Information to the au
dience can be defended only with diffi
culty. But the soliloquy In which a
character sneaks "boldiy of his most
secret thoughts" stands on a higher
plane. 1
It lets a tortured hero unpack his
heart ; lt opens a window Into his soul
nnd It gives the spectator a pleasure
uot to be hud otherwise. It allows us
to listen to the communing of a charac
ter with himself ns though we were not
overhearing what be is saying.
As Professor Bradley has remarked
In his stimulating dlscussiou of "Shake
spearean Tragedy," It will be agreed
thnt "In listening to a soliloquy we
ought never to feel that we are being
addressed." tie declares that In this
respect, as In others, many of Shake-
spear's soliloquies are masterpieces, but
he admits that "in some the purpose of
giving Information lies bare and In one
or two the actor openly sienks to the
audience." And Mollere Is as vulnera
ble to this reproof as Shakespeare.
The fact Is that when they came to
write for the theater they found the
soliloquy an accepted convention, a labor-saving
contrivance that they took
over without bestowing a thought on
the principle underlylng.lt This prin
ciple If formally declared would be that
the soliloquy Is a means 'of exposing
to the spectators the actual thoughts of
a character. when he Is alone on tbe
stage. In other words, an actor solilo
quizing must be supposed to be thinking
aloud. But so little did either Shakes
peare or Mollere care for the principle
involved that each of them unhesitat
ingly sets before us a character solilo-.
quizlng and yet overheard by some oth
er character. Putnam's Monthly.

"Luclnda," said Mr. Melstrum, who
had just returned from a visit to a
farmer friend In the countrj'i while
I was at Longley's I ate some whole
wheat boiled. I like lt better than any
thing I ever tastetl. 110 gave me a
small paper sack of the wheat, so we
could cook some ourselves. How long
will lt he beforo supper is ready?"
"About half an hour," answered Mrs.
Mehttrum.
"Well, we'll have some boiled wheat,
If you rlen8e- Here's the paper sack."
"But Joshua, It will have to be
cooked In a double boiler, aud "
"I don't care how you cook It I'm
hungry for some more boiled wheat
"But, soe here, Joshua I It will
take "
"It will take a lot of cream and
sugar; I know that But we've got
plenty of both. Tut lt on right away,
will you?"
Without another word his wife took
tho wheat, washed It emptied lt Into
tho "double-boiler," and set lt on the
Are.
At the end of half an hour, Mr. Mel
strum became Impatient
"Luclnda," he called out from the
sitting room, "Isn't that wheat ready
yet?"
"Not yet," responded Mrs. Melstrum.
"How much longer Is going to take
to cook It?"
"About eleven hours and a half.
That's what I was trying to tell you,
but you wouldn't give me a chance.
Do you want to wait for It?"
