The coming week promises to be an ex

the seven days from now until Sunday may
be said to embrace not only the end of the
regular season, but the beginning of the
summer season. It might be likened unto

BT BLANCHE BATES.
LANCHB BATES Is an actress
B
of suoh experience and culture
as to make her opinion worthy
of consideration, when It is
given In connection with mat
ters having to do with the
siaa. it la therefore worthy of note that
Miss Bates has joined Henrietta Crosman
and others who have stood out against
tha hysterical demand for modification In
laws that prevent the employment of chil
dren of tender years for stage uses. Miss
Bates is more pronounced and direct In
her xpreeslons than any of the ethers,
end Is generally most sane and reasonable
lu her conclusions. The following was
printed In the New Tork Dramatic Mirror
over her signature:
Everyone wishes to decide all questions
concerning the stage In a way that will
strengthen and ennoble the theater and
those who earn their living there. The stage
child la now a bone of contention.
Champions of the cause argue chiefly
that the stage affords the juvenile actor
an Invaluable training not to be obtained
In any other environment. As ef sample
of what a theatrical education will do for
children, these champions proudly point to
urs. nske end to Miss Adams, both of
whom have been associated with the stage
from tendereat years.
As a proof of what they wish to prove,
this citation of examples amounts to ab
solutely nothing. It is quite as fair to say
that these actresses have achieved their
rank at the front of their profession
in spite of their early connection with
the stage, as to Insist that they won suc

Creighton Students in Amateur Theatricals
LEFT TO RIGHT LOUIS KAVANAGH. RICHARD 8 MIT if. JOHN LOWE, PAUL
RCSSUN, JOHN O HEARN, BE-NEUiCT HENNESV. RALPH HAMILTON.
Amsteur theatricals are one of the most
emitting and pleasant activities that are
given the college man to Indulge In and
the students at Creighton university have
always been fond of them. The arts de
partment, wherein the sudents are a little
more leisurely In their pursuit of know
ledge and not quite so hard pressed with
the necessities of a technical profession
or professional education, takes the lntt
atlve in planning such enterprises. The
recent fire In the building of the arts de
partment which damaged the structure
and the Lloyd Ingraham Stock company
will be aa busy as bees with the rehoarsala
for the opening performance to be given
noxt Sunday afternoon.
All but two of the members of the com
pany are now In the city and the two be
lated ones are scheduled to arrive this
evening from the east ' Director Ingraham
has called the first reheenal for 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. The scenio artists have
been working on the sets for nearly a week
and promise adequate surroundings. For
the opening bill the management has wisely
chosen "The Spenders," an excellent ploy
which will give the entire company equal
opportunity. The play has never been seen
In Omaha except at the Boyd theater three
or four seasons ago, when It was played
with William H. Crane In the same role
that Mr. Ingraham will enact in the Oayety
theater production next Sunday.
Stage Children
on to even loftier heights. The argument
Is Just aa logical one way aa the other
when considered by Itself; but when added
to various significant conditions, the beam
tips toward the latter possibility.
If an early stage training makes such
splendid actors, what has become of all
the histrionic prodigies that delighted
patrons of the theater two or three de
cades ago? And how have all the rest of
our prominent actors managed to accu
mulate the skill and the finish that give
them . their deserved prominence? Evi
dently, something more than a mere In
haling of the musty air behind the scenes
Is compounded in the real gonlus; without
it, the earliest training falls Impotent and
with It the early training Is unnecessary.
What Is that indispensable element?
Here lies the point of the wnole dif
ficulty. In acting, the one fundamental
absolute requisite Is Imagination Imagina
tion which can analyse and entirely com
prehend a character In all its mental and
physical aspects, and then can assume
them so vividly that others are compelled
to see the character In the same way.
This Is precisely what the stags does not
teach the child. The stage Instructs him
to imitate, not to imagine.
It Is too absurd for discussion to sup
pose that a child can Imagine himself to
be any other real child. His knowledge of
life debars any such possibility; he doesn't
know even himself much less anyone else.
He might fancy himnelf to be a fulry
prince or a Jack the Giant Killer, but that
Is not tha sort of thing the drama de
mand Mnce the poor baby Is Incapable of im
agining hla role for himself, It must be
taught to him letter by letter. Aa he can't
even read the lines allotted to him, his one
task Is to imitate his teacher. Being facile
enough at this sort of thing, any ordinary
child can soon rattle glibly through his
rrrt with scarcely a glimmering of what
t is all about He is quite as much In
br
and lu equipment was thought for a time
to have ptit a stop to all amateur meat ri
dels for the year, but the faculty haa per
mitted the plans to be carried out and a
production of "The Make Pp Man" will be
given Monday, May 23.
The comedy chosen for production is
said to be very amusing. It deals with the
adventures of a I'nited Statu senator. hn
has a passion for the footlights. He Sets
badly mixed up because of his act.vity in
theatricals and the complications of the
Intrigue fasten upon him the suspicion of
the dark concerning the causes of the
turmoil aa was old Kaspar on the field of
lflenlseim.
The child not only learna his own role
by rote, but quickly apea the most striking
traits in tho-e about him. The more un
Ufual, the moie theutilcal hm associates,
the more unbearable becomes the pre
cocious lnfani, bvcauae he copies all tha
absurilltlea without realiilnK how ridicu
lous tuey are. When a child sees the
leading wuman, worn by rehearsals, In
tearb, or the leading man racing around
and threaten. ng to tnrow up his purt, he
Is rtady to emulate them himself. A child
Is more apt to be completely and Irrev
ocably ruined by the artlticialny of the
stHKe than to bo elevated and ennobled.
For this reason I maintain that stage
chlluren who later learn to cultivate their
Imaginations, are entitled to particular
commendation tor overcoming a too effic
ient anil in the art of imitation.
The second contention 01 the children's
champions, this legislation deprives children
i easy way of earning their living, j
This is foolish. Not one child in fifty is
driven upon the stage through necessity.
They are put to work by parents or other
relatives who are criminally lasy, or who
are vainly gratified by the cheap fame ac
cruing to the family. Frequently, these
parents would not allow their boys to sell
papers on the street, because such an oc
cupation amacks of the aoclally submerged.
A boy, they argue, must be shielded from
the language of the pavements. But what
does he hear In the theater? The stag
hand who drops a sand-box on his toes,
speaks aa fluently, appropriately and In
elegantly as the fruit vender whose cart Is
upset. Why make a distinction in favor of
the stage hand? Does plcturesquenesa of
environment weigh so much?
Of course, children may earn $18 a week
more easily on the stage than elsewhere,
and that Is all very charming while it lasts.
But how about the future? Sleep lost be
fore midnight must be made up when the
sun Is shining and the sleeper ought to
be In the open air. The time allotted to les
sons Is accordingly curtailed, and the child
Is robbed both mentally and physically.
All this is bad enough during long engage
ments In the cities, but when It comes to
one-nlght stands, no power on earth can
keep the child from being routed out In
tho middle of the night for a disquieting
Journey on Jolting trains at the most un
earthly hours. If It wracks those inured to
It, how about the child? As soon aa the
hardship makes him peaked and thin, or as
soon aa he grows long-legged and lanky
and loses his Infantile prettinese, he has
nothing to fall back on. His 18 a week
haa vanished as completely as the snows of
yesteryear. Here, the opposition claims, is
the time for scnooting, lor culture; pm un
fnrtnnatalv. a child of 12 or IS years, undis
ciplined In school life, has lost his ability
to oonform to It really to study.
If the theater drills ohlldren so admirably,
mihv An nur actors not hasten to put their
own upon the stage? Does the query need
an answer? It is because tney Know inira
hitter exDerlence exactly what work the
stage entails, and they won't expose their
children to It. In later years of supposed
discretion, If the boy or girl wishes to fol
low the parent's footsteps, at least he
knows the work, the sacrifices, the priva
tions that It means, and chooses with open
eyes. So It happened to me, and so It
probably happens In similar cases.
Thus far. I have been dlsounslng the ef
fect of a stage career on the child. There
is another aspect the effect on the theater.
It is my deepest, my sincerest wish to see
the stage grow finer, nobler, stronger,
truer, and it mokes me happy to believe
this Is reully occurring. In former days,
our professionals had little of culture, and
the stage little but the glory of youth
except Booth 'and Jefferson and our few
big ones. Now, our stage like the Euro
peanIs demanding broad education, cos
mopolitan Inte'lectur.llty. cultured finish.
polished manner. Cur actors must know
French. German, dancing, singing not with
absolute facility, perhaps, but so as to
use a foreign phrase easily.
To such an end, every member of the
profession must contribute something to
the stage. We must improve. Merely to
mark time la retrogression. In this, the
presence of the child on the stage Is a posi
tive cumbrance; he Is In - way, because
he has no Ideas to Impart, nothing to give.
Hla Immaturity, which constitutes his
charm, cloga the wheels of progress and
irritates the older actors who are not In
It for child's play. If one well-meaning
child con exasperate a cast, the mob of
children la positively maddening, for they
never, by ony chance, all do as they ought
to. They are an artlxtlc blemish, although
spectators may ccnslder them a pleasant
dlvertisement.
When we come down to honest facts, the
reason why children are wanted on the
stage is because they are convenient. While
It Is easier, cheaper and more attractive to
fill a child's role with a child, our man
agers will not be so altruistic as to reject
him. That Is natural and comprehensible.
Should I ever play Madame Butterfly
again, I should prefer to play with a child
than a makeshift; but It would be with
the guilty realisation that my selfishness
was probably detrimental to the boy.

Into futility, for futilities do not survive
In this woikaday commercial world. Pos
s.bly that natural law In the spiritual
world mny explain why various well meant
attempts at theatrical reformation have
died an eaily death.
First of all. however, It behooves ono to
attempt the prosalcf'task of defining the
significance of the term "elevation." Nor
Is It to be expected that any two persons
will formulate definitions coincident In
all particulars. Kvery man has his. own
codo of morals, with lta own peculiarities
to fit his disposition; and these peculiari
ties doubtless lend the code Its human
beauty. Just aa the quirks In the grain en
hance the beauty of polished wood. So.
perhaps, the very divergence of onlnlon
will give definitions Interest and lndlvld
ualltv, If not practical utility.
Broadly opraknn. elevation may be re
ferred to the ancient trmlty truth, beauty,
and morality. In reverse order, we may
progress morally, artistically and Intellec
lunlly. Such are the potential paths of
reformation.
There must arise not only a method for
advance, but a.subtect. What Is the sp
clfio thing to be elevated? The play? the
playere? the environment? To avoid par.
tlallty; we may choose to ennoble all
three. '
Having picked up a handful of clay and
placed It on a particular wheel, we are con
fronted by the difficulty of selecting the
pattern into which It shall be molded. For
example, who Is going to settle upon tho
themes fit for dramatic discussion? Who
shall assert that our moral conventions
surpsss those of the Ellxabethnn days? or
even of the Restoration period? Our con
ventions please us better, of course; but
does that end the argument? The much
vaunted honor of the Anglo-Saxon Is a
synonym for stupidity In Arabia. Who
has the colossal conceit to stand forth and
say that his own little notion should be
Imposed upon the earth as an infallible
and eternal truth? Can other men reach
Paradise only by clinging to his ooat tails?
Humility Is a far more divine attribute
than we Americans are wont to consider
It. A man should prescribe for himself;
but if there ever was any scheme of crea
tion designed by an omnipotent force. It
never gave one man the right to exercise
power over a neighbor. In the final analy
sis, every person Is privileged to produce,
to enact, to see whatsoever manner of play
be will.
If that sounds Utopian. Ideal, unnrartlc-
able, reduce the argument to the chilliest
of statistics. Everybody knows that crime
absolutely cannot be legislated out of ex
istence, for the absurdly simple reason
that the Inclination toward crime remains
turbulent In criminal breasts. Teople do
what they .wish either openly or clan
destinely. The .only way to eradicate sin
as prophets have preached from time Im
memorial Is to eradicate the Inclination
In every individual.
The stage always haa been, always will
be, nothing more than a mirror of the
times. The morale of plays and actors
simply reflects In a rather public way
the private standard of contemporary so
ciety. The artistry of production conforms
to the taste of its patrons. The Intelli
gence of the drama seeks the level of the
public Intelligence, whether It be In the
lyric vigor of Shakespeare or the cunning
wit of Sheridan. Those authors were
shaped by the demands of their own days.
Moral, Intellectual, artlstlo elevation of
the stage can come only through the ele
vatlon of Its patrons first. The stage la a
result, not a cause; contend as you will,
history shown only that the theater tries
to keep abreast of Its time In Athens,
Rome, Germany, France, England. A man
has neither the right nor the ability to
"elevate" the stage. The consensus of
opinion, working blindly but Inexorably,
will do the only elevating possible.
Castle Astelot Will

The first entertainment by Castle Astelot
Knights of King Arthur, the youths' club
of Trinity cathedral, will be given Thurs
day, May IS, 1911. This will be minstrel

not-and muslo by a string quartet Joe
Mil lard, violin; Jerry Van Rensaaeler,
Warren Fitch, mandolins; Cleo Claiborne,

dances and other forms of entertainment
for which no charges are made, and they
hope to reach a large number of young
men and women who have no place for
sociability except the publlo dances and
similar places. The success of the plan
depends to a great extent upon the re
ceipts of this entertainment, as It will show
how the efforts of the boys are appre
ciated by the people of the city.
There are no religious or local limits to
the work of Jacobs Memorial hall and the
boys desire to do their share In making
