DOUHTI.KS.S "Tho MlaleaillriR Lady"
doesn't measure up to tho subject It
utilizes womun's unscrupulous uso of tho
sejc-turc. But the farco nt tho Broad Is
Just ns anu-alii: for nil that. Indeed Ifs
more tlinu likely that tho play's treat
ment of the mattor, tdiallow and aupcrfl
' clal ns It Is, kIvcs the farcical chain of
events considerable added Interest.
And tho chain Is clover enough. Sur
prise, fun nnd excitement pile on ono an
other. Tho handling of each scctio Is skil
ful. Home, such ns tho proposal that
starts things coins, aro unusually well
written. Wc'vr had so much lovo on the
stage, that It's getting very hard to work
up tiny enthusiasm over this commonplace
emotion. It Is, therefore, no gravo mat
tor to the audience, this tricking of the
hero Into a. proposal and then the ex
posure. Vet the authors and the actors
together carry It off with an excellent
mixture of reality and romance that al
most convinces.
What Paul Dickey Docs
Toward Naturalism
Paul Dickey, ono of tho authors, Is
nlso on nctor who does 11 good deal for
thla scene and innnv others In tho play.
Throughout In? has one curious touch of
naturalism In his acting thattv good many
more practiced players might profit by.
H Is a trick of dropping tho over-clear
enunciation nnd high lone of, "acting"
every now and then, nnd Saying a fey.
words In the ordinal:' fibuvcrsntlonM
voice that haidly carries atjjjss the foot-,
lights. If Mr. Dickey illdn'tJlek out tho
unimportant phrases for tills, It would.
only hamper inattcis Instead It gives
accent to the Important lines and a gen
eral nlr of reality to the whole.
The Coincidences
of Interviewing
By n very curious coincidence tho two
actors who do most to carry "Tho Mis
leading Lady" Mr. Dickey and Frank
Sylvester, who pin, a "Boney" so re
markablygave the samo opinion on two
points of theatrical debate during Inter
views In their sepai ato dressing rooms.
Ono was on tho trend of the stage
towards the Imaginative; the other on tho
hypnosis of acting
Mr. DIckoy back fiom h spin In his car,
barely In time to dress ventured tho pre
diction that the next of the seven-year
cycles in popular Interest would tend
away from tho melodinmntl, away from
tho crook and tho business man, towards
tho imaginative.
Mr. Sylvester, with more time to wait
for his second-act entrance, spoke warmly
for the play of romantic lovo. The fnco
which retalus no trace of tho staring
vacancy of "Boney' and suggests that
lovable, If hardly logical, person only In
the kindly sensitiveness of the mouth,
lit up with a bright Interest as Mr. Syl
vester talked of the possibility of a
drama full of humanity, nobility, emotion,
yet not clouded with the sickly senti
mentality to which most of our romantlo
plays have been addicted.
Hypnotism in
the Actor's Art
Jlr. Dickey rulllng on a patent leather
boot which contrasted curiously with tho
rugged, colleg-athloto type about it had
a surer phraso for tho two men's notion
on acting than had Mr. Sylvester. He
called it "hypnotism" tho self-concentration
that was necessary to good acting.
During a play ho fecla that he "Is" Jack
C'ralgen. He throws himself Into -the
mood of tho man before he goes on, and
he often keeps It after he has left the
hut In the third act to seek the girl on
the mountain Elder,
Mr. Sylvester feels that with anything
but the simplest part, it Is next to Impos
sible to do It Justice by rushing on after
but this Is Mr- Dickey's phrase "kid
ding In the wings." "Boney" took a long
and careful "study," minute considera
tion of Just what the man would wear,
mentally and physically, before the pla
was produced. It takes the same careful
thought before every entrance. Mr. Syl
vester wants a few minutes to concen
trate on the problem in hand before he
Is ready to walk on and achieve tho
metamorphosis that brings this very
human and lovable lunatic upon the
Stage.
A Very Different
Sort of Theatre
A man like Mr. Sylvester, who has made
a triumph In the playing of an unusual
character, and who looks forward with
terror to a swarm of managers trying to
furnish him with the same sort of part
till doomsday, feels very keenly the lack
of the, repertory theatre In America. Mr.
Sylvester has tasted something very like
It In his days In stock Then, with a new
part a week, thero was ntwnys something
for him to -whet his art upon, new prob
lems to solve, new emotions to create.
.Many nn actor looks with envy toward
the theatres of Germany. Hero ho works
feverishly during tho days of tchearsal
and then settles back Into the deadening
monotony of weeks, oven seasons', of the
same part. The only wny ho may achieve
variety i at the price of falluro after
failure. In German theatres he Is playing
from three to flvo different parts each
week, ns tho repertory revolves, theplajt
changing each night and recurring ac
cording to popular liking for them. That
sort of theatre would take a man of Mr.
Sylvester's talents nnd attainments and
give him n range of parts that would test
overy ounco of the artistic In hlB make-up.
incidentally, such a theatre, producing
Its own plays with Its own company week
nfter week, would never And Itself In tho
hopeless plight that the Forrest has Just
experienced. Here n playhouse Is abso
lutely dependent on what men outside
send It, upon tho financial vagaries of
plays like "90 In the Shade," nnd the
nmnngorlnl decisions of the booking pow
ers. In Germany If a theatre finds a now
production disappointing it merely turns
to the more popular pieces of Its own
repertory. And neither the management
nor tho public suffers.
33&3
An M. D.'s Prescription
for King John's Death
Tho much-boasted realism of tho actors
of modern loles seems destined to be
'eclipsed by a clnsslc actor, Itobert B.
Mantell, whose lovo for Shakespearo and
the best Shakespearean traditions has not
kept him from making his great heroic
roles as humanly dramatic as possible.
In studying "King John," Mr. Mantell
found the stage traditions of Juhu's
death meagio nnd very unsatisfactory.
lie started out, therefore, on n bold and
original plan. Ho called Into consultation
his famll. physician, who lives In Biook
lyn, nnd uhoso hobby, outside of nn.dl
clno. Is Shakespearo. Mantell laid before
him all the historical material relative
to King John's death ho could find, and
said, "Now Doctor, what Is your diag
nosis?" Tho physician, after carefully golns over
tho whole case, camo to tho conclusion
that John died by slow but very virulent
nnd painful poslonlng, In which huge
bends of perspiration were a startling
feature The physician explained to Man
tell, step by step, the processes nnd
agonies of such n death, and It Is this
death in a weird unearthly realism
touched by art that tho tragedian portrays.
De Wolf Hopper
Among the Classics
De Wolf Hopper has Joked nnd sung In
the beautiful Greek Theatre at the Uni
versity of California.
Tho Invitation was extended late last
summer by tho board of trustees through
Ihe chairman. Professor Armes, head of
the department of English literature. It
was the first time that any artist even
remotely connected with the Held of
comic opera had ever been Invited to ap
pear In this replica of the classic thea
tres of ancient Greece. Only the most
distinguished legitimate players, and a
comparatively small number of these,
had up to that time been honored by the
university authorities with a request to
give a performance thero, and only
classic plays had hitherto been presented
upon the stately stage. Mine. Sarah
Bernhardt had appeared In "Phaodre,"
Miss Margaret Angliu had presented
"Antigone" and Miss Maude Adams nnd
a large company had Journeyed direct to
San Francisco from New York for one
presentation of "As You Like It."
Mr. Hopper, who wua planning a le-
vlval of "Trial by Jury," the delicious
one-act satiro on courts of law which
marked the first successful collaboration
of sir AVIIllam Schwcnck Gilbert nnd Sir
Arthur HulIUan, decided to make the first
piesontntlon of that piece there. The
porformanco was given on the afternoon
of September M In tho presence of an
audience which numbered 7100 persons.
Mr. Hopper, of course, nppearcd as the
Judco who fell In lovo with the plaintiff
In the breach of promise case on trial be
fore him j Arthur Aldrldgo appeared as
the defendant and Arthur Cunningham
was tho usher.
Tho presentation was an unqualified
succcjH, and "Trial by Jury" wat per
manently retained In tho company's rep
ertoire, belna given In conjunction with
"Plnaforo."
Mr. Hopper tells of an amusing Incident
In connection with the performance at
tho Greek Theatro When It wns over
there was a great outburst of applause,
and more than a hundred lusty-lunged
students In all parts of tho vast audi
torium began to chout "Casey."
"I wap nppnllod," snld Mr. Hoppor, "nt
tho prospect of reciting such a thing as
'Casey' under such classic surroundings,
but tho calls for It began to grow louder
and louder. I raised my hand to still the
noise, but the clamor grew nnd grew.
Suddenly. I cnught tho eyo of Professor
Amies, who wns sitting Just beneath mo
In the fiont low. 1 was astonished bc
.otid words to notice that he, too, wns
yelling for 'Casey' with nil the enthu
siasm of n freshman chcor-loadcr. That
sctlcd It for me. I gave It lo them,
though my senso of good taste rather re
volted nt the Idea. Professor Armes nnd
tho other trustees Just laughed at the In
cident afterward, und proved themselves
to bo legular human beings."
"My First Lines"
TO SER our favorite dramatic stars
saunter about tho stage quite as
though they were there Ilrst and the
stage sotting had been built around them,
ns a sort of after-thought. It Is difficult
to Imagine thorn timidly stepping forth
bofore tho footlights for t'ne first time
and saying their very first professional
lines. But as there Is a "first" for every
thing, they naturally went through that
more or less thrilling experience. What
were their llrst words? What was the
play? Where, and when nnd what parts
and 'now old were they? A number of
the most prominent players now before
tho public havo answered all these In
teresting questions for a writer in the
Theatre Magazine, and here Is what
they said:
Otis Skinner
Yes, sir, it is I"
"Thoso were my first lines," said Otis
Skinner, "nnd I fear I put altogether too
much emphasis on them, for I was tear
fully Impressed with the Importance of
my very small part. It wns In tho play
'H'oodlclgh,' produced at Wood's Mu
seum, In rhllndelphln, October 30, 1877.
My salary was JS a week, and tho part
I had was 'Old Plantation,' a negro.
Kobcrt Mantell
"HaUt"
Itobert Bruce Mantell' "first lines"
consisted of ono sentence of ono word.
Ho was tho Sergeant In "Arrah-na-rogue,"
nt tho Theatre Royal, Itochdalo,
Knulnnd, In October, 1S76. Ills ngo was
22. "My Scotch parentB did not npprovo
of my dcslro to becomo nn nctor, so
they npprcntlccd me to a wine merchant.
But I rnn away and managed to get a
place In tho "Arrah-na-Pogue" Company
tinder the name of "It. Hudson,' and you
may believe t'nat Mr. R. Hudson was
very proud In his sergeant's uniform as
he exclaimed' 'Halt!' "
Henry Miller
"What does joiir grace meant"
Honry John Miller asked that question
LAST ACTS
ill William Archer.
If It were ns easy to write a good
last act as a good first net wo should
bo nble to reckon three masterpieces
for every ono that wo can nnmo at
picscnt.
A7.V HU.PEGIN. KITH'3
ns tho Karl of Shrewsbury In tho pro
duction of "Amv Itobsart," In tho Grand
Opera House, Toronto, Cnnnda, In 1S77,
when he was 18 years old. Ho wns with
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Woleot.
William Pavcrshnm
"He jests at scats who never felt a
wound!" thundered 16-yenr-old William
Faversham, nt I.ndbrook Hall, London,
I'liKland, Fobiuary 17, 1S17. It was his
vcrv first appearance on the professional
stage, nnd he had a part In "Ilomeo nnd
Juliet."
Cyril Maude
"Tho carriage waits at the door, mod
ante." "I was 21 when I apoko my first lines
on the stage," fnld Cyill Francis Maude,
"and I nppearcd In that old stnndby,
East Lnno,' nt tho Tabor Opera House,
In Denver, Colo, with Daniel Bandmnnn.
1 cannot remember the date, about 40
yearn ago, I think."
William II. Crane
"In consideration of Ma'mscllc, Marie
de Rcrkencldt being milfCfl to Archam
tiaii'e Duke de Grandtetc, Madame Pris
cilia de Rerkcnfeldt, aunt of the said
Marie, agrees to sctlc upon the husband
certain ftcrein named cjfofes, the Duke de
Orandtetc on his part merely bestowing
upon his Duchess his ancient rind heredi
tary Mies."
For a "flrst-llnc." William H. Crane
seems to have had a record-breaker.
"The date was July 13, 1S63. I was the
Notary In 'The Daughter of tho Regi
ment,' In Mrs. Harriet Holman's com
pany, and was 18 years old, my pay
being the training and my board."
