role of Dramatic Caesar bares his soul agonies-Tongue Double- Crosses Typewriter.~ DOES JEKYLL AND HYDE AC1 Montreal Star, Lord Atholstan\u2019s organ.Be- S MORGAN POWELL is the dramatic editor of The © cause of that position he is regarded by man theatrical producers and advance agents as the Nabo of theatrical criticism and the Caesar of the show world in Montreal, at whose nod the baby may be slain, or in whose favor the purveyors prosper.bask and Seal of amusement 8.M.P.admits as much himself.JEKYLL AND HYDE He is more like & Dr Jekyll and Mr.Hyde of theatricat criticism.Morgan Powell evidently feads a double life (I do not refer to his morais, or otherwise, here) as à dramatic critic.In one phase of his life he is the coiner of honeyed phrases, and mellifluous prose in which he sings the praises of the various shows he reviews, with here and there an occasional rebuke for the aotor whose intonation, or the nuances of whose apeech offend the Powellian ears.In the other department of his hectic existence, as Mr.Hyde, Morgan Powell is a pessimist of pessimists about the theatre.Gone the honeyed phrases, the mellifluous prose, the paens of praise.The man is changed (or charged).Drunk on uttered speech, inebriated with the music of his own diction- ary-derived eloquent periods, his attitude to the theatre is completely transjuxtaposed (whew!).The biting sarcasm, the ugly thrust, the caustic sneer, coupled with a blank, unseeing athelsm as regards the gods of the theatre, now mark his manner.In his official capacity as Lord Atholstan\u2019s reviewer of shows advertised in the columns of The Star he is the staunch upholder of the theatre, the friendly critic, the gentle admonisher (at rare times), but addressing the Young People\u2019s Society for the Uplift of the Drama over Spoopendyke\u2019s Restaurant he becomes & terrible iconoclast, a smasher of idols, and the favorite subject of his demolition entertainments is the theatre, MORGAN STEPS OUT Recently the dramatic editor of The Star made a speech before.the Royst Arcantm Grand Council of Quebec.He proved himself the most doleful of Jeremiahs.Everything in the amusement world was going \u2018the demnition bow-wows\u201d, The legitimate drama, vaudeville, and moving pictures were all alike \u2018on the \u201cblink\u201d.As to the Legitimate theatre, \u201che argued that the public more often bored than amused at the theatre nowadays, because the ~ theatre had largely ceased to depict life as it was lived, as the public knew it, and because insincerity seemed to be the keynote of most dramas\u201d.This is quoted from the Star, which report must at least have bad the O.K of the dramatic editor before insertion.As to vaudeville, according to S.Morgan Powell in the speech in question, Îta-crimes were enumerated, as follows:\u2014Vulgarities, lack of originality, endless reiteration of old material, old adventitious aids to laughter, the jazx craze, the \u201cmut\u201d comedian, and \u201cmammy\u201d* stuff (the clegancies of diction are The Star's, not mine).This section of the speech closed with an appeal for Canadian humor, though the orator of the occasion @Gld net tell his hearers what Canadian humor is, or prove that there was such a thing, digtinctive from American or British forms of humor.MOVIES POWELL-PANNED But if the drama and vaudeville bad gone to the dogs, the moving pictures hand passed the dogs and descended to far greater depths of degradation.Says The Star of S.Mongan Powell, \u2018The speaker paid his respects to the motion .picture, estimating that one out of every fifty pictures was worth seeing.\u201d Truly a sweeping indictment, and one that, if true, indicates a most serious condition of things.If what Morgan Powell says of Drama, vaudeville and pictures be true this truth should -find itself reflected in the dramatie criticisms of § Morgan Powell and the reviews of shows for which he is responsible as dramatic editor of The Star.So I looked up some recent {issues of The Star to see what 8.Morgan Powell had to say sbout the various amusements he had reviewed.And this is what a haphazard search revealed.On September 24, 8.M, Ppersonally reviewed the picture, \u201cIf Winter Comes\u201d.He said of it, \u201cit is worth seeing\u201d.That could only mean that the next forty-nine pic- tures 8.M.P.sees will not be worth seeing, \u201cStrangers of the Night\u201d NEWS was also reviewed in the same Issue.It was not condemned but \u201cthe success of the picture\u201d was mentioned, while in the next column \u201cThe able mention, On September 3, 8.M.P.gave his impressions of \u201cThe French Doi\u201d, saying of it, that it was, \u201cthe sort of picture that should interest and amuse a large percentage of confirmed movie patrons\u201d (can It be that he was induiging in a characteristic sneer at movie fane?).P.AND P\u2014AND OTHERS \u201cHollywood\u201d was described in the adjoining column &s \u201ca highly interesting picture\u201d.Still taking 8.M.P.s reviews haphasardly, October 16 found S.M.P.saying of \u201cPotash and Persnutter\u201d: \u201cThere has been nothing shown in the city this year that is richer in real healthy laughter than this picture; nothing that 30 sempels smiles.It le a temic fer depression, and a cure fer melanchely from beginning to ond.\u201d In the same issue Harold Lloyd's flim, \u201cWhy worry?\u201d came In for most fulsome dulogy.Ne much for pictures.- Much more\u2019 might be quoted to show thst if 8B.Morgan Powell really believes that only one motion picture in fifty is worth seeing be cleverly = succeeds in hiding his real opinion in his critiques of moving pictures presented locally and.encourages people to pay Chelr good money to ses films which in his real opinion are not worth seeing.Either that, or else all the good films are coming at once What about vaudeville?On October 16, SM.P.s review of three vaudeville shows appeared in The Star under the caption, \u201cAround the theatres by 8.Morgan-Powell\u201d (I forgot that hyphen before).Every review praised the show reviewed.Not one told the public that vaudeville had succumbed to \u2018the parlous blight depicted in the dramatic editor's spesch to the Royal Arcanum.The same holds true of the SMP.reviews of October 23rd, every act on every bill was good and no adverse criticism was made, Bo vaudsville, which is all wrong at the Purple Highway\" came in for favor- | ERE Annual subscription, $2.00 7 °MYSTE SEE PAGE 9 FEATURES Prise: 5 conts - Royal Arcanum

this particular entertainment is al right, no matter how rotten drama vaudeville and mbtion pictures ma) be, generally speaking.POWELL'S WONDER-LIPS The question is, who is 8.Morgan Powell serving, the public for whose presumed guldance his reviews of shows are written and printed, the managers of theatres, or an inflated conception of his own self-impor- tance?If the public, he serves it badly by commending almost every show he Nviews; if the managers, he does them disservice by condemning at meetings of clubs and Roya) Arcanums that which he approves generally in bis theatrical reviews; It his own ego is the only thing he serves, well, it may please him to have two opinions and express them, to speak words of honeyed approval with his tongue in his cheek, meaning other than he writes.But I venture the opinion that neither the public nor the theatrical man- agdments are served well by the pen of such dramatic critics and both will be well advised to lay less store on the words that either fall from his wonderful lips or flow unceasingly trom his more wonderful pen.JOHN H.ROBERTS.= ua Papa A -a First Announcement of Qur Deferred Payment Plan For or.Complete Jazz Band

not proved beneficial\u2014quite the reverse.This is no doubt because these mothers did not cook the carrot | 4P correctly.They should be scraped first and then cpoked slowly in a very little water for two hours or more.Keep adding only enough water to prevent sticking.They should be rubbed through a vegetable press before being given to the child and should be seasoned with sait and a litte

every penny that I earned.Saving became à mania \u201cwith me.I would often deprive myself of food in order :to save money.I wore my clothes - until they were thredbare.My main object ia ilfe was to save, sa that I would never know what poverty meant again.In the same tiouse where I kept my store, there Mved a girl by the name of Grace Hennessy.She was & sales girl in a department store.She\u2019

things easy for Grace No matter how hard I worked during the day, _1 always helped her at night.She \"seemed happy and: contented.She didn't care much for clothes then,| for ghd didn\u2019t have much

\u2018that way for five years.Not once, during all that time, did Wo \u2018ever have à quarrel, I.loved Grace.and whatever she - did\u201d was satisfaotery - to me 8s long as she rermhained

It: looked to:me as if there were diamonds ali around it, but she- said \u2018they werp omly imitations.I did not like the idea of my wife buying jewelry, but since site asked me.for no more money I had no right to object.AU through the summer, she kept buying little on \u2018her hands and she spent most of it shopping.Whenever she found & real bargain, she would tell my wife, and Grace would avail herself of the opprturiity.Areund Christmas time, my wife bought the biggest bargain of all.This really was a remarkable buy.She came home with a Hudson seal fur coat, for which any store would charge at least $400, And she had only paid $100 for it, £he had paid $25 in cash and Mrs.@mith had loaned her the rest.My wifé was to pay back Mrs.~8mith $5.00 a week.1 objected to this borrowing of money, .but my wife insisted that this was such a rare bargaiy that she could not resist the temptation and had .to borrow to get it.- It was this way: Mrs, Bmith knew a very wealthy lady who was going down to South Africa with her husband for five years.As she had climate, she decided to sell it.The coat was wendertal.The lady bad movies with re.= their fur costs, the \u201cImiilion dollars,

When I reached the house, I rang the Ball.A big, tall, stout lady opened the door and told me that there was something the matter with the upstairs plumbing.She showed me where it was and 1 soon got busy on the job.While I was working, the mahogany door was slightly open and I heard voices.The conversation was between a man and a womas a was intimate and effec- tionat 1 was thunderstruck when 1 heard the voice of my wife.1 felt like running right out of the house.\u2018 Somehow or other I felt more ashamed of seeing my wife than she would have felt at seeing me.I tried to gather my tools but 1 was 50 nervous, everything seemed to slip from my hands.I heard a door open.Some one was coming to this room.1 was paralysed with fear.1 \u2014 the bandle of the door knob turn and the door opened.My wife, very scantily attired, entered the room where I was.She screamed and ran right out.\u201cWhat's (he matter?I heard Mra Smith ask.\u201cGeorge is in there\u201d my wife told her.\u201cLord help us!\u201d exclaimed Mrs Smith.I gathered my tools and left the house.Instead of going right home I walked the sreets like & man in a daze.I knew not what to do.I realized to what depths my wife had sunk.Now I knew where all those pretty clothes came from.What a fool 1 had been not to have suspected it.What a fool she must have thought I was, since 1 had belleved that she was really buying all that stuff from the extra five dollars which 1 had given her each week.Then I thought of Mrs.Smith.She was the cause of it all.We were happy until she came to live in the thous, It wag.she who had made my wife ° Aiscoñtented, - It was she who had introduced her to this shameful lite, All my bitter feelings went out to her.I began to feel pity for my wife.She was weak- willed and she had permitted herself to be infiuenced by this woman.Then I did something which I will regret to my dying day.1 went over to my brother's house and told him the whole story., I cried like a child as 1 related the whole thing.MY BROTHER ADVISES \u201cServes you right\u201d my brother said.\u201cThat's what you get for being such a henpecked husband.\u201d \u2018 I just sat there in silence.\u2018 \u201cWell,\u201d he sail, \u201cwhat are you going to do now?\u201d +1 don't know,\u201d 1 answered him.\u201cYou don't know,\u201d he said.\u201cGood God!
