Little Theatre 'The Rivals"
War's Effect on Theatrical World
Of all professions of modern life, the stage
Is nt least one that has preserved something
of tho glamour of romance. To tho average
man the world behind tho footlights Is one of
fascination nnd mystery, "with a touch of the
vaguely comprehended piquant. However, no
profession ever moro needed a roseate Illusion,
and especially these days. There nre few pro
fessions that call for more sacrifices, that ne
cessitate more vicissitudes of comfort If not
fortune, than the theatrical. Success Is
nchloved only by years of effort nnd training
usually, nnd the major planets are compara
tively few In the congested constellations,
which nre Indeed more like the heavenly nebula
than otherwise.
At this tlmo the theatrical profession Is In
n more parlous state than It has been for
many years. To visit tho managerial offices
along Broadway Is to witness, and distress
ingly, one of the multitudinous effects of the
war. "At no time," said a New York man
ager yesterday, "wore more theatrical people
out of n Job during the season. As n matter
of fact many are practically starving." Be
cause of the war, there hac been, too, an Influx
of English actors.
"Some years ago the stage doors were
thronged with the various types of Johnnies,"
said a popular musical comedy star playing on
42d street. "Now, when I leave the theatro,
there are only actors waiting at the stage en
trance to make n 'touch. Every night I give
away nt lenst ?3 In quarters. Tho situation
Is really pathetic."
Nor nre the minor nctors or chorus nlone af
fected by the bad business. Stars are looking
for positions. A well-known actor, .whose sal
ary averages about $200 a week when engnged,
wns In a show that lasted Just three weeks.
This wa's his only engagement In an entire
year. His earnings therefore nmounted to
$600. He spent the last summer In Europe nnd
came back, expecting n season's engagement,
broke.
From a drnmntlc and nrtlstlc standpoint
there were never better productions In New
York thnn at the present time. Yet the
majority are playing nt n financial loss. Not
moro than a half-dozen plays near Broadway
nre fortunate In drawing crowded homes
nightly, nnd of these the notable successes nre
"Chln-Chln," "Tho Girl From Utah." "The
Miracle Man" and "Under Cover." Neverthe
less, managers nre hopeful, nnd nctors, great
and small, optimistically occupy the benches
of offices waiting for engagements. "We nre
looking for a boom nlong toward spring," de
clared ono of the biggest producers, "for we
feel that the present conditions simply ennnot
last."
FLASHES FROM "STARS"
lan Maclaren. who plas Captain Jack Abso
lute In "The Rivals," at the Little Theatre, Is
a farmer as well as nn actor and has a 200-acrt
model farmln New Hampshire where lm spends
his summers. He Is planning to add a base
ball diamond to It this coming spring, as he Is
an ardent fan.
Charles Meklns, leading man In the operetta
"Sari," at the Forrest Theatre, has hflcn for
nine years with that same manager, nnd for
two seasons played the Prince In "The Merry
Widow."
Robert Pitkin, who plays with Hazel D.wn
Ir. "The Debutante" at the Garrlck Theatre, Is
a Southerner, and tells several good negro
stories. One of them la nbout an old darky
named Uncle Keke, a retainer nnd handy man-of-all-woik
about the establishment conducted
by Pltkln'a father, and a great favorite with
the youns master.
One day Uncle Zeke came to "Massa" Bob
and said: "Ah'm gwlne to leave Ue Job heah
and go In business fo' myse'f,"
"That's good. Uncle Zeke," said Pitkin, "what
business are you goln.r Into?"
"De whitewashin' business, Matsa Bob; but
dcre's only one trouble. Ah needB a tlgn
painted to put up on my cabin, and If youall
would lend me two dollars Ah could get a
mighty fine one."
"Sure, Uncle Zeke, here you are," said Pit
Uln, handing him a two dollar bill.
A few days later Pllkln passed the Negro's
cabin and there was a gaudy algn reading,
"Whltewaslilns Done In All Colors!"

years ago- Sha played the title rAv In the
Itarona von Amlnt'a play, "I'rlsellla Run

hard to arise a couple of hours earlier than I
havo been used to, but business Is so exciting
that I delight In It. nnd hardly feel a bit tired
