MEMORANDA ABOUT THE PLAY.
(BY A MAN IN THE BÁCK ROW.)
I suppose the evolution of fasce-comedy must he some form of a ments! process. pardex. that thought should produce a kind of show which makes people laugh without think- Ing. But thought, evidently an after-thought of the Creator, bas mide us as unhappy as it has made us happy. It is inconceivable that human resson should permit a sane man to get up farce- comedy; but there it is. The old French aphorism says the impossible always happens,, and the leconceivable always turns out the most substantial fact. Imember Charley Reedtelllag me, when Russell engaged him for "The City Ifectory," that he asked to see his part in the manuscript. Mr. Russell ssid there was no part and ro manuscript. "What am I to do?" asked Reed. "Goon and go ahead. Here's a directory," said Russell, Aed that was how the plece win evolved. In the old days of our childhood we used in have fun with the village Idist, and our sympathetic mathers spanked nu for our cruelty to the unfortunate. Now we pay a dollar seat to laugh at carefully rehearsed idiocy, and it is only assumed idiocy at that It is the idlet who should be spanked th's time, "
I don't belleve we ever grow reilly old. We are always childish enough to laugh at, non-ense however palently it tray be presented to make us laugh. I believe a man a hundred and twenty years old would laugh at a little fat fellow running after a car. Yet why should there be any particur homour about a little fat man.? They have been funny since the world began; it is no development of modern irreverence. Bat bumour in animate and inanimate objects alike is impossibleol analysis, and I doubt if any future state of existence will enable us to solve the mystery. Face-comedy Impartially makes ase of both, and many farce-comedies owe all their success to the tumour of inanimate objects. In fact, for all purposes of fun in them men broom practically in almate, save for motion. Some day some gains will play farce-comedy with wax figures, wil springs and phonographs, ie all varieties of beauty in females, and gro- terqueness in men, and a large number of alleged comedians, singers and dar cers will be nat of employment. He will save expensive salaries and the constant trouble of "big heads," and the wax Gigures will never stalke for more pay when they get encores and applause. The newspaper notices will apply to them just as well, without any necessity to offend them by alluding to their misfortune of being wax.
The in novation may reach Into the drama; you don' know. Some of the modern plays are eminently sulted to this mode of representation. There is no saying what will happen to dramatic art when Edison palects his phonographic doll. 2. As I ut on the back row of the theatre and watched the farce-comedy, an appalilog re se of the lack of necessity for the human brain struck me. In fact, the brain track me as the drawback which made life miserable. I thought of all the millionaires whe had made money cat of stocks and only lost it when they lovested it with forethought. I thought of whole lots of different kinds of people who grew sich without thinking, and of ather different kinds of people who had grown or kept themselva poer by thoughtfulness ; and I came to the corclusion that the fool was the wise and accenfal man, and all things worked together the other way Here were a number, a large number, of respect able ladies and gentlemen with brains paying their money to laugh at clowning. The clown was the wise manjhe get the money. Yes, it' all over the same. The wise man in his wisdom looks down on the foal with his foolishness. but be does not see what the fool is doing.

A tote-man, technically within the law, was punished last week by N. S. W. Justice Fester because he had acted" against the policy of the aw." The phrase in a sound one, but where has it been these last three years? Why was last loved out in the epidemic of financial recon- strections? The policy of the law would have nelted stacks of big men who now shine free.
A certain provlacial N. S. W. Building Society has deemed it necessary to send for a promisest accountant to overhaul is affairs. The local auditors signed the balance sheet, but repeated thereof, and begged the secretary to withdraw their algnatures prior to the holding of the convened meeting. The secretary declined and presented the balance-sheet in due course. Hence the trouble.
Suppose an irreligious devil who was lucky enough to have two banking accounts, were to Induce three filends (equally irreligions) banking at other banks to work accommodation paper tor, sy. £300,000. Suppose that cose of the "paper was of any value, how much "time" would that poor devli of a financier get when found out? One right-thinking Anuralian is credited with having they worked seven banks.
A isir idea of the condition of one section of the reconstructed banks may be gathered from the fact that one has to keep eight utterly insol- vent firms aflat to order to substantiate a mythical reserve-fond and "bills receivable" that two others, Julutly, have over one, and perhaps nearly two millions advanced on licensed heoses and uncalled brewery-capital, the latter not being worth 25 per cent, of 's face value.
Captain Sandeman, chairman of the BN.Q :-- "The bank is merely a trading co. There is no sentiment about a bank. The bank was formed by the shareholders for their own benefit, and the elimate end of the bank is to give good return to the shareholders." This tatement embodies a great truth. There is no sentiment about a biok except when it is appealing for conideration at reconstruction time. On all other occasions it is just as sentimental as the nether millatne,
Another feature, which nay, or may not, have some significance, is the statement in the profit and loss account that "provision has been made for bad debts," &c. This item generally tends that provision has been made for bid and doubtful debts," and the QN, Bank's statement is eliker an unlucky clerical error or else it means that doubtful debts have not been pro vided for and are still included among the assets. Considering how many debts are doubtful these times, and how exceedingly doubtful many of them ire, this Item, like a lot of others, would be Improved by a little clearness.
One depressing feature, common-to-all bank balance-sheets, in that bald fem, Bills receiv able and all other debts due to the bank," which generally forms three-fourths of the assets. This fem never reads "all other good debis due to the bank," therefore directors may, without committing themselves to any dangerous state- mente, make it include almost anything. The average balance-sheet, in fact, doen't even profess to assert, in any definite language, that the back is solvent, and the average asöftor, as rule, doesn't assert it very strongly. The Q.N. Bank auditors, however, don't assert it at Alta fact, they don't assert anything.
The dreartest joke of bank meetings is the chaliman's appeal to bareholders to bring all their business and all their friends' business to the particular institution they are just then can. aldering. Three-fourths of the shareholders themselves are as deeply interested in other bank, and have already been badgering their friends to support one of these rival shopt. What are few intres and fishes among so many hungry banks?
