Plays of a Nnc Season—

Shaw-*Melodrama.

London. August 29.The recurrence of the autumn activities ofth*

theatres is one of the marvels of altruism. Ifthe managers* word is to be taken literally,there)

is no money m the business: there is nothing fasItbut toll and trouble; there is no telling whatthe) public* wants, and there is no assurance thatit will ever bo grateful to those seeking toentertain It. Yet when the chill breath of Sep-

tember blows th»' froth of fashion back to townthe theatres are competing for public favor a*

vigorously as ever. Scores of plays may have*been failures during the previous winter, andbusiness may have been so bad during thaspring that an early closing may have been nec-essary In June, but before the end of August

there are rehearsals In all the theatres andpreparations are making for an onrush of freshworks. Itmay be the most unprofitable busi-ness of the day. but dozens of managers are al-ways ready to take new risks in the lottery witha hundred blanks for every prise. There Isnever any lack of entertainment, whether th«»times are hard or flush, and actors and box

1 offices are Invariably prepared to sacrifice theirInterests for the amusement of th« fickle public.

There Is no approach to agreement amongmanagers respecting the requirements of publlo

!taste. Mr. Frohman. who has better fortune)

Ithan his English rivals in fillinghis theatres.Istarts off with two adaptations from th* FtsusUstags. Miss Lena Ashwell willbe seen at to*Glob© as Jacqueline Flortot to M BTssoa'tV"Madams X." and at the Duke of York's Mr*.Gerald da Marnier willhave the leading part tax;"Arsene Lupin." with Miss Alexandra Otrlisterand a strong company behind htm.

season Is beginning with fewer farces than ara |usually seen in the autumn. The managers am

'

plumping for more, earnest drama than has been .witnessed during recent year". and less is heardabout the public craving for thoughtless axnuse->tment. Mr. Ricketts has designed the costumed*for "KingLear." and Mr. German will pro- 14s>th« music for Sir William Gilbert's fairy opera. j

Drury Lane this autumn will have a race*

horse as the central figure of melodrama. Th«fortunes of the hero are to nans upon th« ar-rival of the racer in prime condition for romp-

ing home an easy winner, and the wiles of tho

stage villain willbe concentrated upon the de-struction of the animal while it is In transit on

the railway. Mr.' Collins and the stage car-

pent, will work out the problem with all th«

resources of an enlarged stage. The train will(asa a wayside station at high sp^ed and plunge

into a gaping tunnel: the villain will creep

stealthily along the footboard and uncouple thohorse box; this will be diverted to another set

Mr.Bernard Shaw's prohibited play has) ««Xiproduced in Pubtin without signs) of ptiblio-dli

-approval. Several trivial changes bar* Iteentmade In the text out of deference to the taste of;

the Lord lieutenant, such as tho withdrawal nt\the words "Immoral" and "dearly beloved?brethren." but In the main It to the play which,Mr. Redford refused to sanction a few roonthwago when It was rehearsed for the Afternoon 1

Theatre. The text of "Blanco Posnet" explains*itho censor's motive* and justifies his action.What the author describes a* "a sermon tn'crude melodrama" contains passages so Irrev-erent in form as to be blasphemous. There amnot many objectionable lines, and these couldbe easily rewritten, but Mr. Shaw Is less anx-ious to have his plays produced than he Is to*advertise them as strong 'meat which excitesofficial qualms. His theme Is the conventionalone that there ara gleams of pood In the worsenatures, and that there Is an approach to \u25a0•>•ligion when there is a blind groping after th<»

truth that human actions are ordered and

directed by a higher power. Dickens made thl»plain when he told the story of Sidney Carton.Bret Harts enlarged upon the theme In "Min-gles." "The Outcasts of Poker Flat." Ten-

nessee's Pardner" and other sketches of rough

raining camps, wherein Mr. Shaw has pitched

Judge Lynch's eouit. They were content withshowing that th«re was something of the divlne>in the most wretched outcast that enabled him,

to work,out his own salvation. Mr. Shaw can-not emphasize the same wholesome truth with-out needlessly offensive bits of dialogue like thisbetween the horsa thief and Ms hypocritical

brother:•

Elder "Caniels— Oh thank God? selling drlnKpays me. And thank God that He sent me thannt as a warning that mydrinking tim«» was past

and gone, and that lie needed me for another v.

Blanco—Take care. Booty. He hasn't finish**with you yet. He always has a trick up Hissle«ave. , m

Elder Daniels- Ob, is that the way to speak ofthe Ruler of the Universe— tb« great and Al-mighty God? Speak more respectful. Blanrw.more reverent.

Blanco— Reverent! Who taught yon yoiir ref-erent cant? Not your Bible! itsays IX© rom^thi

like a thief in the night-aye, like a thief, a,

horse thief! And its time! That', how Hacaught me and put my neck int.* the halter.

With a little judicious play with a blue PMOMpassages like this could have been amended t*

the censor's satisfaction, but the barrenness off

the plot an.l the lack of originality In the treat-

ment would have been revealed. The thief had

lent the coveted horse to a woman, whose child

was choking with croup and could be saved only

by a rapid ride for a doctor. This fact la kept

inreserve while Judge Lynch Is holding court tr»

a barn and a woman of bad character is per-

juring herself, but when it comes out it creates

a revulsion of feeling Inhis favor and saves bin

neck from the halter. "vThat does Blanco PosneS

get out of his experience when he faces his con-gregation and tries to preach a sermon? Noth-ingexcept a recoil against sentiment, a fealiug

that instead of being consistently bad h» is *fraud and a fallnre. and that "there's none of its

real good or real bad." That Is a conclusion &>

feeble that it i*not strange that the perjure*!

witness refuses his offer of marriage with tl*»

exclamation. "You're like a child with a. newtoy. you and your bit of human kindness'"When the blasphemous expressions are sklmmeH

off nothing Is left, and probably that la why

such a pother has been made of the censor's

"wanton conduct" in rejecting the play for th» .English stage.
