Especially I should have liked to speak
in this plaoe upon the modem drama and
literature. But I felt that the clearing
of the ground waa of primary Importance.
And new that I have riven so much time
to that troublesome operation, I fear you
have been thinking that In Harvard at
least the ground haa been already cleared,
and the first cornerstone, the cornerstone
that 1 to bind together literature and the
modern drama, has been already laid by
Prof. Baker.

Mr. John l Kearney, who is famous fot
his successful comedy, singing and dancing

selected out of a number of comedians by
Mr. Carlo to take this part.

The bill at tho Burwood during tbo com
ing week will be one of uncommon inter
est, "By Right of Sword" having been
chosen. It tells the story of a young
American In Moscow, where he is mistaken
far a Russian nobleman, whom he strongly
resembles. A series of romantic adven
tures grows out of this condition, all of
which permit Richard Hamilton to show
what an enterprising, healthy Yankee
would do under strenuous clrcumstanoes.
Mr. Morrison will play the role and should
have a great vogue as the dashing hero.

the mark, Arthur wing Pmero and Henry
Arthur Jones, one wonders. Ibsen went
them a little better In some respects; his
plays have the double advantage in some
dexree of being clinics as well as lltera-)
ture. But just how a writer can make
matters plainer than they are set forth In '
"La Cltta Morle," "Manna Vanna," "Es
LUbe das Leben," "Mrs. Warren's Profes
sion," "Iris" or "Mrs. Dane's Defense,"
not to mention "The Hypocrites," one hesi

the "great question" of life, as conceived
by the authors mentioned, with a freedom
I that necessitates expurgation or suppres-
I ion.
