The Gunpowder in Room 13
HE Chinese are n;mur re-
T puted to he a shrewd people,
but they have made a few
mistakes i thelr ime. They peem
to have been particularly careless
about the business details of some
of thelr hest Inwentions, and in this
way they have kost a lot & prestige.
For exmmple, think how much
they would have galned by holding
on to the patemt rights for gunpow
der. They went to all the trouble
of inventing the stuff, and then, in
stead of putting # on the market
under & trede name and getting
rich off it, they worked some of it
up into firecrackers and let the rest
of the world gradb the idea.
Of course, the firecrackers were a
uovel Wea, and we've got to give
“the Chinese credit for them. But
they are only a flash in the pan be
side the oceldental produet. A few
years back we got rather excited
over the dangers of firecrackers,
and sald unkind things about their
inventors. Bo we passed ordin
ances and put the ban on fireworks.
Then, just after we had the Base
and Sane Fourth of July einghed,
the next thing that happened was
an Unsafe and Insane Four Years’
War. The Chinamen with a sense
of humor probably smiled
All of which, however, merely
proves that China ought to have
copyrighted its gunpowder. If she
had, about half of our playwrights

wouié now be paying royalties into
the Peking tressury. For the men
who write plays, and especially the
ones who write melodrama, always
find plece for a IMttle gun play.
Nothing stimulates the ctreulation
of an audience like the flash of a
revolver. It wakes even the sleep
ors,
If you want to see just how in
debted the dramatists are to this
little Chinese invention, compare a
play like “The Woman in Room 18,
at the Booth Theatre, with one In
which the revolver is absent. In
“The Woman tn Room 18" the re
volver makes its appearsnce as
early as the prologue, and makes
you fear that the excitement is go
ing to be over before it gets started.
But you soon discover that the pro
logue flourish is mild compared to
the thrills that follow. The pistol
is east for an important role in this
melodrama, and between it and the
villain the audience doesnt take
time for a full breath.
Down at the Neighborhood Play
house, on the other hand, there {s a
“miracle play,” written in the four
teenth century, before gunpowder
had much of a vogue, and In this
drama the heroine is tied to a stake
and a fire lighted at her feet. But
she doesnt burn. Which might be
taken to prove that a revolver at
the Booth s more deadly than a
bonfire in the Nelghborhood.
