The Stage A Mirror, of the Age
Simple Acting the Most
I Difficult
I' 'To play n simple, unaffected part,
tolt'hout moke-tip. Is tho most difficult
ork for an nctor," declared Edwin ftr
Mon, vvho will take tho part of Haron
JIudrcy In "Tho Yellow Ticket," which
ppens at tho Qarrlck next wcok.
"You'd Imagine the hardest parts are
those requiring excessive mimicry of
(characters and elaborate make-up.
"Audiences have a tendency to under
fcstlmate the skill required to play parts
friot endowed by tho author with any
special physical characteristics. They are
equally prono to give undue valuo to
eo-ealled 'character J parts.' I remember
onco rcadlntr wonderful notices which
were Riven an actor who was playlntr a
peasant, wearing a character wl(t, who
had a scenb on a half-darkened stoRp.
He spoke In a gruff tone of volco and
n-BH accorded praise for RCttlnR effects
In tho dark'. Acting In tho dark Is much
easier than upon a well-llRhtcd stage,
for In seml-obscurlty ono has only to
think of one's volco and one's lines, while
under tho Rlaro of llghts-'fult up'-the
player must realize that he Is under
nlmost mlscroscoplo scrutiny of hundreds
of oes.
"Under those conditions he must think
tof his facial expression, his clothes even
to the point of remembering during an
nrdent lovo sceno that the misplaced curt
of a drew shirt, which falls to reveal
Itself In whlto outline between tho black
uleevo of his coat and tho flesh color
of his wrist, will produce on ugly and
undeslmble effect.
"I oneo had a flattering notice about
ny ability to chango my volco on tho
stage. How often does an nctor chango
his volco actually? And how does tho
man In tho audience remember the tonal
production well enough to know whether
he changed It? If the actor drops his
Voice, If the part requires him to be gruff
or surly, can ono call this 'changing a
i' Voice'? And la this nn accomplishment
tof extraordinary value? I do not believe
ft Is.
"I Insist that tho hardest acting done
'by nn nctor Is when ho appears not to
be acting at all. Some ono naked me re
cently whether I believe that Forrest
hnd his method would have been accept
ed by theatre-goers of today. If Forrest
mr! survive! until todav and had grown,
.we should have found him adopting tho
knew school methods and doing away with
'the old tie-wig gestures and mannerisms.
.Edwin Booth In his later yearn developed
'his art oven whon many critics declared
I'lt to be perfected. Ho had In fact out
grown his critics.
"We have plenty of excellent actors for
fcharacter roles In America. Tho troublo
is that American actors are so heavily
overpaid that It Is next to Impossible
or a manager to cast a good actor for
'to, 'bit.' When he has assembled a cast
Vhlch gives him a salary list of about
$2000 a week for three or four of his
principal characters, ho must cut down
on tho rest of his cast If he would'assuro
nny profit for himself. In England one
can engage actors of experience for much
Jess money.
Notes of the Theatre
TV. A. Brady, who Is generally credited
hmong his associate managers with being
"a wise gus-," went on rocord the other
day by declaring that Albert Brown, of
' the Grnce George company, Is tho com
ing "Mansfield of America." Mr. Brady
may be right or wrong. His Judgment
about embryonic actors ought to bo good,
for he Is an old-time actor himself, and
I has watched the dovulopment of many
players who have emerged from a'isoluto
obscurity to stellar prominence.
It is estimated that during the ex
istence of tho play, nearly 100,000,000 pieces
of paper have been used In the snow
scene of "Way Down East," which will
come to tho Walnut during the week of

, "Barbara Worth" Is the last novel from
I the pen of Harold Bell Wright to be
dramatized. Tho play comes to tho Wal

Fugitives nrrlvlng hero from Antwerp,
whence thoy had been driven by tho

travel by rail. They are able to got no
conveyance and were forced to walk."
Macey Harlam, who will be seen as tho
Russian police spy In "Tho Yellow Ticket"
at tho Garrlck. has a reputation as an
actor of character parts second to no
other player on the American stage. Mr.
Harlam Is r young man, dark, tall and
equipped physically to play leading busi
ness Bhould ho so desire. "There are
plenty of good leading men," he avers,
"the field for character acting Is wide"
which bit of professional philosophy re
sults ln his being always in demand by
managers.
During one of the performances of "The
Round-Up." ln tho Walnut Street Thea
tre last week, an Incident occurred which
might have proven to be serious. One of
tho mobt stirring scenes of the play Is
tho fall ot an Apache over a cliff, when
he Is "winged" by the entrapped explor
er. The Indian falls headlong over tho
painted cliff, finally entangling himself
on a projecting ledge from which he
hangs suspended for at least a half hour.
During the Tuesday evening perform
ance the actor struck his leg on n pointed
Iron bur, which Inflicted a painful cut.
Rnther than destroy the "picture" tho
performer held his position, although suf
fering intenso pain, until the termination
of the act. When his plight was dis
covered he was carried In a fainting
condition to his dressing room. Un
fortunntoly the house doctor was not on
the premises.
Then "Shep" Camp proved that an
actor haa a more practical side, for he
cleansed and dressed the wound In a
most workman-like manner. Only then
did It become known that Mr. Camp Is
a graduate physician, with a diploma
from a Chicago university. His brother,
who graduated at the same time, Is ono
of Chicago's eminent surgeons. "Shep"
carries In his trunk a prnctlcal vallso
which he uses for such emergencies. De
spite his medical knowledge, the genial

Mr. Stokowskl has chosen for the open

GERMANS ADMIT RUSSIANS

Czar's Now Movement Brings Army
Into German Territory.
BERLIN, Oct. 10.
The German General Staff In an official
report today said:
"In tho east the Russian column Is
marching from Loinnz (Russian Poland)
and has reached Lyck, Just beyond the
frontier and almost directly west from
Augustowo."
A curious phase of the war Is that
many soldiers have takerf amulets With
them to the front. Heather Is. perhaps,
the commonest nf such luck-brlngers, be
cause many Scottish soldiers were pre
sented with little bunches by their wives
nnd sweethearts., nnd nn enterprising
hawker who turned out with n barrow
load nf the growth Into tho west end of
London did a roaring trade with tho
Household nnd other troops. But many
of the men who served In South Africa
pin their faith to "lucky" empty cart
ridges, ifruger coins, etc.
Ono of such coins formed part of a.
set which, at the time tho order to
mobilize was Issued, was In the keeping
of n pawnbroker. On receiving the call,
tho owner obtained his property as soon
ns possible and, having pocketed a single
piece from It, went on quite contentedly.
That piece Is dented through having
diverted a bullet In a tight corner In
South Africa.
Of conventional mascots also largo
numbers have been taken to the theatre
of war, though not nlways ln their orig
inal form. A woman brought nn old
fashioned charm made of gold to a West
End Jeweler, asking him to mako It Into
a. ring for her husband.
Many family "lucks," moreover, nro
being carried by the soldiers. Ono man
wears suspended from his neck by a rib
bon a ring which, should Its possessor
bring It back to England, will have gone
through thtee campaigns. A young wo
man, who received It from her mother.
gave It to her sweetheart whon he win
about to emhnrk for the Soudan; then
another member of the family carried It
during the war In South Africa, and now
It Is In France.
Another of the "lucks" which accom
pany troops has a remarkable history.
It Is a. regimental medal which waa bo
stowed on one of Wellington's men for
conspicuous gallantry In Spain, and It
has been In nearly all our campaigns
evor since.
A court-martini, sitting nt Kolmar, In
Alsace, has sentenced a farmer, named
Demange, to ten years' hard labor on
the charge of showing sympathy with
the enemy. Demange lives ln the dis
trict which was occupied by the French geant major.
troops at the beginning of the war Bub
sequently, the troops withdrew to French
territory, and the German authorities
took drantlo measures to punish alt Al
satlnns of French extraction who dem
onstrated their pleasure nt the French
victories,
Tho charge against Demange was that
h hoisted the French flag on his farm
house when the French troops occu
pied that region. Demange denied this
strenuously, declaring that ho merely
placed a white flag on his roof to Indicate
that he was ft non-combatant, nnd that
no soldiers of either side were on hl
farm.
One of the anecdotes gl-en out nt tha
British ofllclat news bureau today ns go
ing the rounds of the men at the front,
the truth of which Is ln no wlso guaran
teed, deals with & young British cnvalrv
officer who was cut off from his men
nnd who hid In the woods nt tho fdde of
the road.
Soon ho sftw a. solitary German soldier

could have shot the German, but It would
have been too much In cold blood for him,
bo Instead he moved up behind the Oer

hearty kick. Tho German, neeordlng to
tho story, yelled and ran for dear life,
while the subaltern remained behind nnd
laughed.
How three French soldiers raptured
two German quick-firers nnd put to flight
two companies of German Infantry Is told
In a letter from a captain of Infantry
fighting on tho Alsne.
Two corporals and a private. In re

LONDON, Oct. 10.
Denial of the story of the passage of
tho Russian troops from Archangel to

ploding of the story has proven a great
disappointment, nnd there still remains

nated. It has been hinted that the very
source of the rumor wae in official circles
higher up than the Press Bureau, for Its
moral effect upon the Germans
