In this the theater Is coming nearer than ever to a realization . of Its most important function. If the stage doe. humanity any service, aside from th. unimportant one of furnishing amusement, it educate, and direct, the trend of thought along ethical lines. Those who take the theater seriously Insist, that this t. the one purpose of the drama worthy of considera tion. It la admittedly true that here Idea, are so presented as to take a firm hold on the receptive mind and that here notions of right and wrong conduct are conveyed that may be given In no other way. To the credit of the theater be It said, the ethics of the drama have Invariably been high; sometimes the methods employed have aeemed questionable, and a reasonable doubt might have existed as to the ex pediency of .otne of the mean, employed, but even the dirt" drama. In It. last analysis, bore a message of aiming at higher and better thlnga. At the very outset the methods of the tag wore Intended to facilitate the W- culcatlon of moral prlndples. It la prob- ably tru that the germ of the theater as w know It may be found In the templea of god. forgotten befor. th. Christian era. The original Idea was to convey by aym- bollsm a lesson of gravity and weighty Import .uch as could not be directly lm, parted. Th.. rltea of the Egyptian and Chaldcan priesthood, for example. Indulged at time., when the Initiation of neophyte. Into th. .acred mysteries of the religion practiced called for an exposition of the aoletnn conception, of life and death, of the relation of morality to Immorality, and the progress of th. soul after it had left the body and had taken up ita Journey through the shadow, to the Judgment seat, were undoubtedly the earliest of .cenlo production.. The Greeks, whose religion was more simple and less Involved with the mysticism of the dreaming races of tho south, gave the theater a more practical turn, and through it inculcated les.on. whose Import had to do with ordinary af fair, of life. Such moral, aa adorned the tale, told by the Grecian actor, are .till serviceable and are used with a. much regularity now as then, and are received with probably the same degree of sin cere and receptive attention. The development of the theater along with the other arta of clvillxatlon haa In no degree lessened Ita vitality a. a place where Ideaa are illuminated and from which flow currents of thoughts that di rectly affect the destiny of the race by reason of their Influence on Immediate society. Ethical thought finds expression in the drama, and notions of right and wrong, of personal responsibility and of right relations between individuals are illustrated by example, .0 that whatever healthy Influence the theater has must be for good. Some managers, pursuing too closely the pecuniary aspect of the drama, have given to the public plays whose moral, have seemed distinctly dlspropor tloned, and these have had a harmul Influ ence. It 1. not enough that the vllllan hould suffer in the end. He Is generally undone by some expedient so trivial that any thoughtful person might hav avoided It. while the facility with which he pur- aues his course of wrongdoing I. .0 plainly shown it offer, attraction, to the weak- minded often too strong o be resisted, Such manager, are doing harm to them- elre. and to the theater, for all such In- fluences are for evil and must necessarily react on the stage. t But this discussion Is drifting away from the original thought and is getting Into a condition that 1. likely to be burdensome In the summertime. Postponing the mat- ter until the weather ha. settled down to a supportable theatrical temperature, the following will be quoted from last Sun day's Chicago Tribune: There appears to be a growing interest among manairera In playa of religious im- l"'i 1. nimiuinn 11. miiiuum riiirii im bi lu managerial plans for the coming season, some of the most talented and popular players on the American stage will ven ture forth In plays which are either di rectly founded on Biblical subjects or are entirely religious in their aspect and bearing. It is with considerable curiosity that the outcome of these experiments will be awaited. Tyrone Power will appear In a play which has been made out of the Marie Corelll novel, "Harabhas." by the authoress herself. The period Is that during the life of Christ. The part to be assumed by Mr. Power will be that of Barabhas. the thief, a character which will be found to be ideal rather than traditional. Power will be remembered as the creator of a Judas of great strength and distinction In Mrs. Flsks's "Mary of Mngdla," and In Barabhas should find a role equally suit able and errective. of rauf Wheeler WleoV and PLuscombe Fearelle. will b presented In this city In September.

As Mr. Lorlmer haa yet to ap pear In the west In this drama, he does riot expect to make another production till th season following. For that time be has tn readiness a play founded on tne life of Daniel. Mnwhlle Edward A.

When Henry Woodruff has exhausted the poslbllltie.s of Mrs. Youth's "Hrown of Harvard" he expects to be fitted with a role In a dIrv which Is said, to be strong and picturesque and Biblical In subject. The activity In the religious drama Is not confined to this country only. In Germany the theater goers have been profoundly Impressed by a new religious drama, of ex traordinary power by Pastor Robert Falke of Frankfort-on-Maln. The play la based on the life of St. Paul, and com petent critics predict that It will rival the freat passion play at Oberammergau. If ut a portion of this predluted success Is achieved the drama will be certain to be presented on this side. The first act shows Raul of Tarsus, a fleroe, fanatical Pharisee, persecuting the Christians. His only weakness Is his love for a Christian maiden, and It early be comes clear that her Influence will shsp his future. In the second act he Is Paul. The miraculous conversion on the way to Damascus Is not portrayed, but It Is made known that the Christian girl has been praying for him and that he has been sniltted with blindness In answer to her Interceding. The third act, the most magnificent in the play, laid In Athens, culminates In a scene of preaching.

There is nothing so healthy, that tend, so much to good nothing humor as listening amid green, leafy. cool surroundings to the stirring strains of a first-class brass band. A community which has much of such muslo is im mensely the better for It. It Is a good In vestment In morals as well as a pleasur able benefit. Think of the hundreds and hundreds of people who go to Hanscom park and Rlvervlew of a Sunday. Among the crowds are very likely many who but for the lure of the muslo might be else where In places better left unpatronlaed. Green's bind la now delighting large crowds at Hanscom park and Hustcr's provides good entertainment at Rlvervlew. At Krug Is the Royal Canadian band.

If any feeble word, of mln can alter the ill, they shall not go unwrlt- ten. Now that the building Is to be fin- lahad I beg that due attention be given th musical end of It expert attention. Have somebody come from somewhere who un- derstands the art of sound and fix what Is wrong. Last summer I was In the Mor- mon tabernacle In Bait Lake City.

Mrs. Carter', right to wed ha. not been denied, nor Is ber right to fib about ber age or her former marriage questioned, but .he mustn't ex pect folk, to believe It. And, on the very day the wedding was announced, came a sheet of Information from the press agent of the Belasco attractions. Among other things It contained a two-column article on how Mrs. Carter came to be an actress. In brief. It set forth how the Dudley, found themselves In financial .trait, and how Mrs. Carter, then divorced, decided that he would be an actor lady on the stage. She Immediately set up pursuit of David Bel asco, on whom she had picked aa the one man who could develop her gentna. David was coy, and would not answer her letters, nor would he grant a personal Interview. One day, on the street, he was acoosted by a maid, colored maid (remember th Dudley family was broke and the daughter wa. face to face with work), who asked him to kindly step across to the edge of the sidewalk and speak to a lady In a carriage. David did so, but before he could speak he saw in the mobile face, the luminous eye, and the wealth of tawny hair the future star. He was at once In terested, and has since devoted himself to her interests. The press agent neglects, however, to state whether this meeting was before or after David had sued a Chi cago millionaire packer for his 100,000 fee for preparing Mr. Carter for stage pur poses.

Dear old Willie Winter celebrated his seventieth birthday at Los Angeles recently, and It was made a memorable occasion to him. Hear what one New York paper says about the event: Play writers, play-goers and players sent congratulations today to William Winter, dean of dramatic critics, poet, author ana biographer, wh celebrated the TUth anni versary of his birth at Los Angeles. At first-night gatherings In Broadway there Is no more conspicuous figure than William Winter, with while, tousled hair, upturned coat collar and muflled throat. Old and feeble as he has grown, every premiere of importance Is attended with conscientious regularity. 4n all kinds of weather he makes the Journey from his Staten island home to the theatrical cen ter, which ha. moved from lower Broad way to Fourteenth street, and then on to Time, square, since he assumed the post of dramatic critic forty-one years ago. Moreover, he considers It not too great a task to witness scenes from each of a half-dosen new plays In a single night, and his wandering from playhouse to Playhouse are quite as much a feature of Important theatrical nights as the curtain calls and the authors' speeches. Mr. Winter has graduated from the law school of Harvard university, and In 1J5 took up dramatlo criticism. In addition he has written a number of poems that have attained distinction. "" i Edwin Booth, Joseph Jefferson and Henry Irving have been his favorite actors. There has been but one favorite actress Ada Kenan. He has devoted volumes to the stage career, of them all, and Is also the Stage " entitled "Shadows of the The WeefcTTu-New York. NEW YORK, July a.-The theatrical topic of discussion during the week has been the marriage ol Alia. Leslie Carter. Incidentally her marriage brought out tne tact that her manager, uavld belasco, and the bride have been working upon u new play, which it was hoped would become the crowning glory o both careers. Nalurally Mr. Belasco sees complications ahead, in asmuch as the new husband of the bride Is under contract to the business rivals of Belaaco, and Cupid has been known long ere this to have upset the best laid plans pf men and managers. There Is no douot but that the marriage will in a way Injure the star theatrically and professionally, though to what extent It Is, of course, dif ficult to determine. The theory of the Metropolitan managers is that there tiro certain classes ot piays of the "Zaxu" type where the theatergoers do not like to as sociate the idea ot a married woman ap pearing In the parts. However, Mrs. Car ter, or Mrs. Payne, as she must be called In the future if called by her right name, is a wonderful woman. Repeatedly Che has broken through environment in the past and it is perhaps not too much to predict that she will break through environment in the future. Another big vaudeville carnival Is an nounced for "Old Heidelberg In the Air," the picturesque roof garden on top of the Metropolis theater. The lengthy bill is headed by the famous Danhmar troupe of five Kuropean acrobats in marvelous evo lutions.

However, the piece did not appeal as a novelty, as it had been given previ ously by Henry Miller, and therefore the English actor's tour did not extend beyond the eastern cities. Preparations are being made for the London production of Charles Henry Meitser's historical play, "The First Duchess of Marlborough." Mrs. Lemoyne tried the piece on this side, with but In different success, some seaaona ago. It Is announced that Florence Roberts will be seen In "Gloconda" next season.
