I Gossip About Plays and Players ILXIAM VAL'QlfN MOODY may rl ba an apostle ot the new socl f I olog-y. One. Omaha man who llliun. ou J.. i u lit... ..in seeing "The Great Divide." At any rate, the play affords much food for thought, and Is not lightly to be put aside, simply because some of its as pects may not appeal to a delicate sense of what should or should not be shown on the stage. Mr. Moody must, have known this when he was writing the play, and It Is not at all improbable that he felt much as did the Jury In the old story. The judge had Instructed the jury that It waa to be the Judge ot the facts, while the court would be the Judge of the law. When the verdict r.-as handed in the court was as tonished at the findings, and expressed himself very plainly. "I thought 1 told yon that the court would be the judge of the law," he thundered at the Jury. "So you did, Jedge," responded the foreman, "so you did, and we considered that p'lnt, too." The brutality of the closing scene of the first act of 'The Great Divide"1 Is utterly abhorrent, especially when contrasted with the opening scene, but it waa that very contrast that the author aimed at and which the producer has sought to empha size. All the way through Its action the contrast persists, but Its lines draw closer and closer together, until the point of con vergence la reached. Just aa the last cur tain goea down, ahowtng Ruth In the arms of Stephen, husband and wife finally united and no longer strangers. It deala with fundamentals, and not with the super flclal refinements of society. It has many phases that are repugnant In the extreme, but It also has a thought that la worth while considering. has known that lover of hers. And she gives herself without stint, and feels that It is true that even, before the flight of time began she was his. And who shall say under what conditions tills love Is born? "Was ever-woman In such humor waced? Was ever woman In such humor won?" queries the crafty Rich ard, pleased both with the answer of tho bereaved widow and his own guile. The humors In which the woolngs and the win nings of the world have been carried on are as widely varied as the people of the world. All of which has much to dT with the growing belief that truth is not so absolute as aome would liave us admit. It is rather more relative than a fixed fact, and, as morals are to aome extent a matter of geography, so truth Is In a very great degree a matter of Indi viduality. One of our harmless amuse ments Is to say what we would do if we were placed In situations where we aee others. It la so easy to speculate on a line of personal conduct when one has never bten called upon to put that specu lation Into the form of action. But no one has yet laid down a code for the govern ment ot love-making or to regulate the way of a man with a maid. One may lure her with a bouquet and a box of caramels, and another may win her with a six-shooter and a strlnfr nf enlri mi?. had not died In preference to living under such conditions.. And this view has been upheld. The course she did pursue has also been upheld, and the reascnableness of the outcome Is sustained by any amount or argument. But the question Is not disposed cf, net yet, and the commentators as a rulo leave the fourth of King .Solomon's llt of things he understood not Just where he did. One of the speeches" In" "The Wolf," the Eugene Walter"s play coming to the Boyd this evening, has a bearing on this. Will lam Courtenay as the French-Canadian Jules Beaubien tells of his tove for Hilda McTavlsh (portrayed by Krarjces Rinj). The Innocent girl ot the woods does not know what love Is, but she experiences what she terms "the greet desire." Jules then speaks to her as follows: "Love Is the great desire, and all that live have It. In the spring, when the snow melts and the Ice crashes down the river, when the pink flowers of the forest peep from underrjeath the snowdrifts, then the world is full of love. The ducks and the geese are noisy In the romances. The he wolf kills night and day to feed the mother of his cube. The bull moose bellows in the pride of his fatherhood. The robin watches his 'bright-eyed mate on the next branch, waiting for those three egis to bring new life into the world. And all this, Hilda, is the love Qod wanted men to have. But It Is not so, Hilda. Some men some time have sinned, and the great desire is not always good nor pure. t'nder what conditions and sustained by what elements is a woman's love for a man born and nurtured? Who can tell? In aj current magaxlne the writer of a really I beautiful love story asks who of all that have ever watched through the night can catch the moment of the dawn? Or who knowa the time the touch of color and per fume ceasea to be a bud and becomes a rose? "There be three things which ure too wonderful for jne, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle In the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the "way of a eliip in the midst of the see; and tli i way of a man with a maid. Even Solo mon did not try to answer the quesitons. With all Ills wisdom and all his experience, and that Is reputed to have been same, he passed along the question to those who would come after him. The way ot the eagle In the air it no longer so much of a mystery as it was at that time. The mod ern aviator Is knocking at the Inner door of the secret, havlnf forced his way Into the vestibule. The way ot the ship In the midst of the sea Is plain, and easily deter mined, so Is the way ot the serpent upon the rock. But who can tell the way ot a man with a maid? That we call love for warjt of a better word la aa far from analy sis now aa It ever waa. It la an Impelling force In the affairs of man, and this includes woman, "as It waa In the begin ning, is now and ever shall be, world with out end." And that this force should be measured, and weighed, and reduced to its molecular nakedness is not altogether de sirable. The lover, "sighing like a furnace." his bead full of thoughts that revolve around the only woman In the world, does not ask himself why he loves her; he Is content to know that he does. While she, some time or another sne will let him lake her Into his arm, and as she lays, held closely to his breast, resigrjng body and soul into hi keeplni she never givea a thought to any phase of the question other than she love and Is beloved. "AH my life, and eons and eons before," ansers Kuth Jordan ti Dr. Wyngate Newberry whtq Pt Ucmnds to be told how ong she 'Hilda, I have had the great desire like i nil men T hnv. hnl nlwnvi hrrn atinti. hut . .cv.. u no- m.mou. are jus; h.v, be.rj bad , nJ,c iearntd mucn n(1 as many ways a. there are couple.

In him, or what he saw In her, and It never occurs to us at such times as that that others are asking the same tiling of ourselves. And every man has at some time asked himrelf what It wua that won for lilm tha woman Into whose ears he poured his hot words of passionate avowal. And every man In whese veins flows red blood has felt that divine insanity that questioned nothing that Oared ail, that reeked not tha cost nor the outcome, but forgot all and everything In the presence of the woman. And the woman herself muat feel eonifthlng very much like this. The intellect lias no part in this. Ruth Jordan gave an. pie evidence of the struggle of the physical woman trying to break through the Intellectual swv.thlngs that hell her back and circumsi ribed her. It Is likely, altogether, that Khe did not understand the nature of. her exaltation or. that night when she was left alone at the little ranch house In the desert. She had been wonderfully happy for days, and her exuberance was the tubjeet ot Inquiry from lhoe around her. She ttcod In the deor and apoetrcphlied the nUht, revelli j in the sheer Joy of physical life. No matter if she were the cultured daughter ot a long line of puritanical ancestors,, and her mind atored with the conventional beliefs and rooted convictions of her race; in her nature atlnel that Indefinable something that made her turn buk at the supreme moment. wh?n she held h?r captor's re volver In he.- hand and turned It to her head: she had not thn courage to pall the trigger. She loved life and refused to leave It. Nor did she, when she pointed it at him, have the couiage to fire, for slid could not take life. And, as he said after wards, when their eyes f!rt met there flashed a look that burned away all ques tion of right and wrong. It wa blind In stinct that led her to choose him as the least brutal of the three. Moss Empires. Tha Importance of this combine j'oait'- best be I'txraveyed vto th American reader by likening it to the agreements of late years between the war- ring factions In the vaudeville world of, the I'nlted States. Inevitably It will have the same results. To the American vaude ville artist it Is interesting and welcome because It will result In a concentration of the booking business and the eoniaquent possibility of booking for long routes, even as long as two years solid in almost as few mlnutea. But should It also re sultand It is almost sure to do so in the death of competition among managers and the reduction of salaries to artists it will not be the unmixed blessing that the sev eral managers Interested would have us believe. Of late years the salaries of per formers, and especially of "stars" able to dictate terms, have gone up amazingly in England, and It is presumed that the first business of the proposed combinations wl 1 ba tha letting of wind out of these inflations. Incidentally the hlgii prices now paid in tha United States to artists and the con stant demand there for English artists of the better class by such managers aa Percy Williams and E. F. Proctor have had a whole lot to do with the fattening of the English artists' Saturday evening envelopes. Every London manager of im portance has been busily engaged for sev eral years In keeping such artists as George Robey, Little Ttch, Marie L'.oyd and Wllkle Bard In England at any pi Ice with varying success, and the "stars" have taken advantage of the state of affairs The result is that they are drawing from I'M) to $T50 a week for one performance a day and have been appearing at three and sometimes four houses a night, a thing un known and unpermitted In the United States, where the basis of a contract be- tween manager and artist Is the exclusive services of the performer.

Ha has four plays In hand whlrf he hopes to bring out dur- r.g the next ffew months, and these, with ilia ones he has already under way. will keep hint' quite busy.

He ia awaiting Miss Auglin's return from Australia before definitely de ciding on several things, among them a visit to England with "The Great Divide." Mr. Miller spoke most hopefully of the outlook for the theater In this country, ac cepting the success ot the intellectual drama, ss an evidence that the American public will pay to see the better cia.s of plays. He still holds that the theater must first of all entertain, but Insists that mere entertainment is not the end nor all that is required. .

Und 'r the management of Alfied Butt It ha served up to a watting English public the class of entertainment with which the bst Ameilcan vaudeville houses In the larger American cltle have been Identified, adapted, of course, to English n?eds an J taste. No one will deny the ab.ll y of Mr. Butt, but the fact remains that his In spiration la to be found on your sldd of the water. The Palace has declared a dividend of to per cent, but that fact Is not a remark able as the circumstance that the annual report ahow a weekly profit of almost 15,000. It means that almost every seat In the big theater, which has a seating capacity of almost 10 haa bcn occupied at every performance. For the past months, of course.

Tonight at the Boyd theater the Messrs Shubert will present an all-star cast In the romantic drama "The Wolf," by Eu gene Walter, author of "Pall in Full," both of which plays have met with phenomenal success within ths last few months. The cr.gsgement is for four days with a matinee on Widncsdiiy. In the presenting company will be sum William Courtenay aa Jules Beaubien, Frances Ring as Hida MacTay. ieh, Walter Hale as William MacDonaid, Thoms.s Findlay aa Andrew MacTavlsh, Sheridan Block' aa Batiste and William Roscil as George Huntley. Mr. Walter haa written the 'play in robust style. It Is a story i.f the Hudson bay fur country and of the irinml. eterntl struggle between men fcr the p:seion of a woman. Dark pas sion and pure s. ntlment are set In oppoel tlon, hut there is nothing hackneyed. The mm are not of tho familiar s. age type, nor are the scene tf a mechanical order.
