A REASON which began with uiiiixuh
brilliance has rather petered out In
Philadelphia. The Xnll brought us-to
name only three Mrs. Fitltc, Margaret
Anelln and Grace George. The spring
Hives us nothing of great moment In tho
way of acting, and,on! "Seven Keys to
Baldpute" and the long overdue "Peg"
as really popular plajs Premlorcs seem
destined to limit themselves to "Tho Blue
Envelope" of awful memory, and a musi
cal piece or to. Also,' dark theatres.
Blaming the local managers doesn't
eeem provocative of good. Neither Is It
altogether Just. They are, after all, u
part of a machine, a subordinate portion
uf a vast svstcm What alls the Ameri
can theatre must be laid at tho doors of
the whole touring system. We In Phila
delphia ljave simply to uccopt what tho
powers of that system send us.
And even the. powers themselves aio
hardly to be blamed for the Increasing
dearth of good plays. They are operating
a Very clumsy instrument, which grows
clumsier and more uncertain euch year.
Competition and the cost of production
have mounted together. It is llttlo won
der that plays which might have sur
vived three jears ago now go under and
leave yawning gaps unlilled or else
chokedwllh tlaptrnp hurriedly (lung on.
Tho American theatre needs financial,
economic organization een motdl than
artistic Impulse,
It Is a pty that so expert an artist In
travesty as Marie Dressier can't be sup
plied with n steady stieam of comedies
i worm ner really considerable abilities.
The present specimen at tho Lyric, "A
Mlx-Up," is very far from unsatisfactory
entertainment. With Miss Drcssler's aid.
It makes u good evening's diversion; but
without her And to look ut It
from the other angle consider what Miss
Dressier might be If she had a piece
which, Instead of being a drag on her,
gave positive assistance to her efforts.
It Is a curious thing, to bo noted more
and more, that our stars uro mostly en
paged in pulling through comparatively
uninteresting pieces, while all the really
popular plays get along quite nicely with
out featured players, oven where they
supply decidedly star parts. "Seven Keys
to Baldpate," for Instance, would make
, an excellent vehlcl.' for almost any joung
comedian, from Willie Collier to Tailor
IlOlmeS. "VllZ O" Mv Hp.irt" nn Innrron
ha a ftur. tnftush it could ensllj sup
port one. "Potash and Perlmutter,"
which could have taken care of a couple
of luminaries, had none at all.
The Little Theatre has been enjoying a
rather unusual type of star this week
the author himself. Charles Hann Ken
nedy to the average theatregoer means
the playwright who wrote "Tho Servant
In the House." Yet something under 20
jears ago, Mr. Kennedy was earning his
living behind the footlights. In London
ha was a well-known figure: over In
America Manslleld engaged him, more or
-a m. onaw a request, to play the mili
tant minister In "The Devil's Disciple.
r.ow we see him as the very unmllltant
vicar of his own drama.
To Mr, Kennedy as star succeeds an
actor little accustomed to the atmosphere
of "little theatres" and what thej Imply,
et an actor as expert as any In his line
italph Ilerz. Though Mr. Herz has o
nged much In the waters of comedy from
"The Follies" to "A Pair of Slxes"-he
has ahv-ayB done distinctive work.
In "Monsieur Poiret" Mr. Her is re
hearsing his first Frenchman. Though
born In France, ho has played almost all
other nationalities, Including, Incidentally
the Prince of Hades.
"It adds another name to my theatrical
baptismal score, too," says Mr. Herr,
"for I shall now be Louis for a change,
and certainly no actor ever had worse
naroea wished upon them than l have.
I have been Augustus, Uncle William,
Ftevn, Finney Doollttle, Timothy. Erich.
Winchester Chorttle, The Devil Himself,

heaven knowa what. It's a welcome role
that makes me a Louis for In some

Mr. Frohmnn's new play should Interest
Pennsylvania. It is concerned with the
German-Americans of tho State, and
shows tho tragic results of secret efforts
to estrange them from their American
citizenship In the Interest of one of tho
warring nations. Onll Knno will play the

Mr. Frohman. after a brief Introduction.
"We have nothing to discuss. A manager

Therefore, all I have to tell you Is that
your play Is accepted. I am glad to pro

I am especially glad that It is an Amer

Laugh and the World
Gasps With You
By HARVEY J. O'HIGGINS
Author of "The Dumm" and "PolKftniy."
There Is notnlng new In observing thai
It Is possiblu to weep with Joy, particular
ly with an excess of Joy And every one
knows that Is equally possible to be
come hsterlcal and laugh with grief.
Tho psjchologlsts explain that whenever
an emotion Is excessive It overflows Its
natural channel and expresses itselt
through some other channel. And because
the channel of laughter Is more commonly
used than any of the other channels
there Is alwajs a tendency to laugh In
moments of great emotion In church, at
funerals, during tragic scenes at the thea
tie, and so forth
Any emotion may express Itself In
laughter, and It may be an emotion as
llt I., .".. , ...- .J. . ;
'"J oftu irtJiKi uiii ua uiiy inu-L u.iui usees

horror. We coll it horrified laughter. It
may express amazement amazed laugh
ter. And there are such things as shocked
laughter, terrified laughter, surprised, ex
cited, incredulous laughter, the laughter
of pity, tho drrisivo laughter of hate.
And ct. Miss Han let Fold and 1, in
pioduclng both "The Dumiin" and
"Polygamy" have had to defend laugh
ter in tense or tragic situations as If
laughter were always comical, and had
no pluce except In comedy, and mined
tho structure of any but comedy scenes.
"The Dummy" was melodrama. In its
most eciting moments of nctlon wo used
lines that provoked laughter, and wo
planned to carry our suspense across the
laughter, believing that the laughter
would not let down the suspense Most
of the theatrical cxpeits who heard the
Play read, or saw It rehearsed. Imme
diately Insisted that we make the play
either all comedy or all melodrama.
Even some of those who came to see It
played on tho road before It got an open
ing In New York shook their heads over
It and said: "Never. You fall between
two stools. Kill the comedy. Mako your
crooks sinister, and you will have a great
play."
For example, In the third act, the boy
detective, pretending to bo deaf and
dumb, has been "planted" on a band of
kidnappers and Is taken by them to their
retreut In tho Catskllls when they uie
pursued by the law. Here ho betrays
himself by talking In his Bleep. When
he Mrst speaks, the audience remains for
a moment sui prised. In horrified silence,
and then bursts into an excited laughter
that is prolonged until one of the kidnap
pers pouncea on tho boy and drags him
to his feet. Immediately the laughter
Is hushed, without any Impairment of
the suspense nf the situation. Tho audi
ence listens. IcuseH, to tho boy's efforts
to lie out of his difficulties, and applauds

him with the laughter of relief when he
succeeds.
This technique Is not new. It Is used
In King Lear, for Instance, In the scenes
between King Lear and the fool. But It
Is very hard on actors who resent
laughter In their emotional scenes, and
It exasperates stage directors who like
to build on ono emotion to a thcatrb
climax. On the other hand, It has the
great udvuntage of being tho technique
of life ltself-for life rarely stages any
Incident In one emotion, and It seems to
have for the audience tho sort of bewil
dering charm that tho game of growling
bear has for a child who Is terrified at
being jwunced on und then tickled by
the Inadequate effect of the pounce. The
critic finds It "naive" and "ingenuous."

Interviewing the Scenery
"I suppose." snld the sonibro English
di awing room of 'Teg o' My Heart" as It
lolled luxuriantly upon tho stage of tho
Adclphl, "I suppose I might say, If It
weren't so deuced much a pun, you know,
that I am set 111 my ways. In fact, by
Jove, 1 think I hold tho record for that
sort of thing. Of course I know that
thoro happen to be a couple of bally plays
in town wltli a solid wood setting for all
their acts. But, ufter ull, they aro what
you would call In your Jolly American
slang "plkahs." When I was In New
York and I spent some time there. I
assure you I stood on the stago of tho
Cort for GO! nights absolutely untouched,
except, of course, for tho duster. And In
Boston 21 weeks, and Chicago 26. I come,
I may say, of a family of long standing."
Just then tho stage munnger switched
on the moonlight for tho second act and
the real wood beams of tho celling, tho
caned pillars nnd moldings, tho tnpestry
cloth stretched where canvas usually
rules, wlthdtew icgretfully, giumbllng u
llttlo Into tho scmldarkness.
Over at the Lyric Is a cry different
sort of person decidedly feminine, with
Just a touch of French. The woodwork
Is lighter In coloi, the door frame more
graceful. Around the edgo of the cell
ing runs a minutely carved molding.
Thcro Is a graceful nrch across tho back.
And within that nrch lies a certain two
faced something that stamps the femlnlno
Indelibly upon the setting of "A Mlx-Up."
Every now nnd then the painted tapestry
under the arch goes transparent and be
hind appears a hotel coirldor, to change
later to a couple of very different walls.
Tho Interviewer admired It nil at a dis
tance and scurried off beforo the Inter
mission arrived when tho lady might turn
her wiles to account.
Nothing Frenchy about the snow-bound
scenery at the Gnrrlck. Tho Baldpate Inn
Is staid to the last degree quite New
Englundy. Nnturally Its proudest boast
Is that It Is nraolutcly self-supporting.
"My rival at tho Adolphl has to use
three stage braces to hold Itself up," said
tho Inn the other day. "Tho Indy at
the Lyric leans on half a dozen for sup
port und needs any number of vices (tho
Fiencny nolo) to hold herself together.
I have only like a proper gentleman two
biaccs, and they hold up some trimmings
nt the back. My gallery, stairs and Arc
placo are so solid that they stand of them
selves. "I may add that It takes one hour
longer to set me up 8, count "em, S than
either of the other ones upon North
Broad."
As the Interviewer left the Garrlck he
overheard a bit of conversation which
Indicates tho three solid sets nre organis
ing n trade union. Its principal object
will be the passago of u law roqulrlng all
playwrights to construct plays with one
setting only. The pioposal will receive
the hearty co-operation of all playgoers
who rejoice In Bclaacoau rcalltj.
