'ie Papers Say Americanism Sets Pace on Broadway By The NBA Flay Jury NEW three sure successes of the Broadway season may found pace-setters for a new fash- on In drama which may bo labeled 100 per cent American. This does not imply any flag waving or patriotic theme, but rather that hey concern persons, places, color and vernacular native to this country this day. Slangy, rough, vulgarian are the people of this eminent 'Broadway," "Chicago" and "The Barker." And though their subjects ro down from opposite poles and their authors from equal distances they have a vastly Interesting similarity of -fewpolnt. "Broadway" Is of the dank backrooms of cabarets, with a plot that drags in bootleg murder and sets off hat essentially Broadway product, 'the hoofer." "Chicago" satirizes the tabloid methods ot trials Involving 'lady murderers" and "The Barker" ells ot snake-charmers, ballyhoo men, lootch dancers, shlllabers, cappers and other people ot the tent show racket. The first was written by a pair of Broadwayejse; tho second by an e.x-sob sister from a.

newspaper who fled to Prof. Baker's play laboratory and the thlrj by a Columbia- professor of journalism who during a certain summer vacation went forth with the pitch shows. What all have In common is tho capturing ot more or less unknown tribes and. presenting them with con slderabie honesty. There havo been plays of th ecircun, but they have been honey and sugar after tho fash- Ion of "Polly of tho Circus." There hare been plays of tho courtroom, but they have followed melodrama rather than unsparing criticism of the yellow journal methods BO much in vogue of late.

There have been plays of the theaters and chorus, but they generally hid those drab, parasite! fig urea and surely none caught the lingo ot tha night life as did "Broadway." As the tourist remarked about Fifth avenue, there aro more stops than starts just now. It is, Indeed a eommentary on a passing generation of playgoers that a play headed by no less a figure than K. H. Sothern should go Into the storehouse after a feeble run. Eight plays retired within us many days, and there are more headed for tho shelf.
