NEXT WEEK : WM. COLLIER, GEO. COHAN, IN "HELLO BROADWAY" AT THE FORREST
"HflSW1 " ,uwr
PlBjMnMffigM
CATHERINE C7LV-A?T
THIS week brought Phllatlcliihl.a a
curious assortment of plnys and .
curious assortment of triple coincidences.
There were two dramas from the l'rcnch,
"The Haw It" and "Tho Shadow," tw)
detective plays by Hnrvey J. O'llisgins
and Harriet Foul, "The Diiinmj," and
"The Arglo Case," and the two most
distinguished rlslns actors of the Ameri
can stage, William Favcrshnm and lithcl
Birrymore. Not to mention that extraor
dinary bit of piffle at The Little Theatre,
"Monsieur I'olrct": Its production Is a
coincidence all by Itself.
Comparison between the two new
French plays Is both natural and Inter
filing. That It redounds lo tho advan
tage of Mr. Faversham's vehicle Is not
. jomuch the fault as the misfortune of
il I
I'tDarlo Nlccodeml, who wrote Miss Barry-
Kmore's. Perhaps he tried too hard.
At any rate, "The Hawk" is a straight-
id iorwaru, muva unve ui h ijuiwuuwi.
cramatlc effect. .o act is overcrowueu
with action; there is hardly moro than
one emotional point In each. But It is
, perfectly clear what Francois do Crolssct
Is trying to do tell an exciting story
with an ingenious kink In It. and end with
a half-piteous, half-heroic touch.
That might also be nn outline of "Tho
Shadow." There Is the exciting story,
built upon discovery nnd confession. The
fact that the feminine victim of the
eternal triangle has been a paralytic In
valid adds to the effect Just ns the fact
that the husband In "The Hawk's" trl-
i ingle Is a card-cheat. Tho deceived
oman In "The Shadow" decides to do
what she can to shade the road that her
J huiband must take with tho woman ho
has chosen. Tho ruined man In "The
Hawk" finds the wife he had lost giving
Up her lover and returning to help him
build a new life.
But the parallelism ends with the
E itores. in treatment "The Shadow"
1 1 Uclu the straightforward, theatric drive
' nicn saves "The Hawk." Mr. Nlcco
B i deml Is too serious-minded or too much
i"c creature or nis tlmo to make the
Bardoulsh most of his exciting plot, or
to carry It along in the elevated and
artificial atmosphere of tho sentimental
theatre. He Is continually thrusting in
outer, naturalistic incidents and bits of
Character: he Is trying to treat the affair
u a serious problem after he has con
trived It as a theatrical "stunt." But
Ms evident desire to strike tho best
to piaywrltlng Is apparently wrecked by
the outre character of the story and his
m undeveloped powers as a dramatist.
At any rate, 'The Shadow" Is miles
head of his "Prodigal Husband."

.Mr. Faversham's crownlnpr distinction, a
combination of personality, conception
nnd ability, that ho can achieve those
qualities of tho spirit which so often
travel only In the company of weakling,
feminized poets, and that he can still
remain a virile man. But, perhaps, that
Is why ho can touch the heights.
As for tho humor, let us recall only
thoso two priceless moments In tho last
act. Ono when Barney picks up tho tele
phone In that absent-minded way which
comes under Btross. ways "Hello . . . Wait
a minute," and then looks up tho num
ber. Tho other, when Banning explains
nbout tho $10,000 reward that Barney has
won and then asks, "What's tho tlrst
thing you're going to do with your money,
Barrey?" "Count It," says the oirtce boy
sleu.h.
Two unusual opportunities to witness
Continental dramas acted and set In tho
Continental manner may shortly come to
vuilltllVllliU IIIUIIIIt.1 II1UJ OKUillj V.U1I1V IA
Philadelphia. Ono is already settled,
On April K Rudolph Christians, a dis
tinguished actor as well as a distinguished
stage director, brings his Irving Place
Theatre Company to the American for a
week of German plays. For two years
he has been given tho Broadway theatri
cal managers lessons In how to conduct
a real theatre with a real company and
real actors.
The third Continental play will bo "John
Gabriel Borkmann," which Emanuel
Belcher nnd his company will bilng to
tho I,lttlo Theatre Apill IB. Mr. Belcrcr
Is ii leader of the German stage, who has
taken the opportunity of tho war to estab
lish In New York an organization called
tho Modern Stnge. It gives special pro
ductions of notable plays for a few per
formances before nn audience of sub
scribers only. His production of Ibsen's
great tragedy should bo notable;. His
daughter, lledwig Relchcr, is in tho cast.
Ego Other People's
By GEORGE M. COHAN
Ego, especially the exaggerated kind,
combined with the desite for free adver
tising, Is n self-interest trait we do not
like to discover in
the makeup of our
friends. Yet we are
all moro or less
smeared with It. Ho
matter how such a
man may protest
that he prefers the
background to the
limelight, there'll
come a time and
place when this
vanity streak will
assertHself, and the
court of last resort
is the theatre.
Experience and
observation have
taught me the truth
GEO. M, COHAN.
of this assertion, principally exper
ience, for there Is hardly a night that I
play that I do not have Borne new evi
dence of it. A recent experience that
came under my observation will serve to
point this. It was Just before I went on
for the first act In "Hello Ilroadway"
that my manager came back to my dress
lug room with a note which he explained
had been handed him by a gentleman In
Immaculate evening garb with the re
quest that he deliver it at once, and this
Is what I read:
"Dear Mr. Cohan We are a party of
bIjc In the lower right hand stage box,
We nre, to a man, enthusiastic Cohan
rooters and have been for years. Now,
Mr. Cohan won t you do someimng lor
us? We represent (mentioning one of the
big advertising concerns of the country)
and we want you to mention our name
tonight In the play. You can do It, I am
sure, without much trouble, and It will
tickle the boss, who Is with us, almost
pink,"
It Is needlesa to say that as far as I
know the boss retained his usual com
plexion, for I refrained from using the
name of his product.
Another time I received a special de
livery letter from a young man who was
particularly modest. This chap was go
ing to be In the audience that evening,
Thta Is what he would have liked to have

About Burns and the
Author of "The Dummy"
By an Interesting coincidence, two de
tective plays by Harvey J. O'HIgglns nnd
Harriet Ford nre now In rhliadolphln
"Tho Argylo Case,"
at the Gnrrlck, and
"Tho Dummy," at
tho Walnut. The
following is nn en
tertaining account
of the method by
which -William J.
Burns, tho detec
tive, worked with
the playwrights in
their collaboration.
When Messrs,
Klaw and Erlanger
signed contracts
with William .1
Burns nnd Harriet
Korrt and Harvey J.
O'HIgglns for tho
production of a
modern detcctlvo
play. Miss Ford and
u'HiautNs.
Mr. O'HIggins had already drafted the
plot of the crime in "The Argyle Case,"
and Mr. Burns worked with them on the
solution of that crime a.s If It were a case
brought Into his own office.
Tho methods which ho employed In de
tecting tho criminals nre thoso which
have made Burns famous. The plot of
tho play la not founded on any real case
In his records, and no attempt has been
mado to portray him on the stage, but ho
has directed the work of the detectives
In the play as ho would his own oper
atives, hearing tho progress of tho drama
as he would hear the progress of an In
vestigation, and advising on it in his
office among his caBes as if It were really
one of them.
Tho first scenes wore written nt tho
time of the McNamara confession, and
ho heard them at the successful conclu
sion of his work In Los Angeles. Some
of tho later scenes were passed upon
while he was Incognito In a Philadelphia
hotel, directing his investigation of the
graft In Atlantic City. .
In the midst of his work on his im
portant cases In Detroit and Washing
ton, Columbus, Chicago and New York,
Mr, Burns has nccepted his lolo of con
sulting playwright as a happy recreation.
"We'll get together on this tonight," ho
would say to the authors, "about 12:30
after the rest of the office has gone to
bed." According to the authors, running
out a play-case with William J. Burns
la a short-cut to a sanitarium. There's
nothing so busy ns Burns.
Mr. O'HIgglns has something to say
about the criminal class that has made
the theme of so much of his writing:
"They're Just human beings! Gunmen
and gangsters, safe-breakers and kidnap
pers, murderers and miscreants in general
they're Just human beings. Crooks have
senses and consciences ami feelings. They
run cities and nations and politics, and
plays nnd trusts and railroads nnd a lot
of things. Any morning you're likely to
pick up the paper and find out in the
latest bunch of graft Investigations that
Borne of your friends are high-class
crooks.
"For, potentially, there's not much dif
ference between u crook nnd an honest
man. A crook is a man who has been
tempted beyond his breaking point. An
honest man is u, man who has pot been
so tempted. Our breaking points vary,
for some of us can stand more tension
than others but none of us is unbreak
able! "The people who get Into prison are
put there because society at large you
and the rest believe that they have
proved by breaking the law that they are
different from the people outside of prison
and need different treatment for the
safety of the public."

ART STUDENTS ADRIFT
Supposed to Bo Wnnderinfr Along
Main Lino in Unusunl Garb.
Three young men from the Pennsylvania
School of Industrial Art are wandering
somewhere along the Main Lino of the
Pennsylvania Itallroad this morning
dressed In flowing whlto robes, dainty
nurses' caps and bearing a ghastly red
giiBh around their necks after the fashion
of a successful suicide. Their exact
whereabouts are unknown to their
friends. They are somewhere between
this city nnd Downlngtown, Pa.
Lust night, after having slgunl honors
conferred upon them by tho Delta Phi
Psl Fraternity, Into which they are being
lultlnted, they wore led to WcBt Phila
delphia Ptutlon nnd placed upon tho 11:52
Pittsburgh train with a ticket each for
Downliigtown nml nothing else. As they
wero moro or less desirous of shunning
publicity they sat in the end seat In the
train and left nt their destination without
undue ostentation. After that the Inky
dnrknees of the night swallowed them.
Tho young men. Moss, Ilcllly and Drls
coll, will probably arrive here some time
today. It Is not expected that they will
enter the city by tho front gate. In fact,
they did not seem desirous of entering
at nil.
But they will come back, that is nearly
certain, because the most essential part
of their attire Is securely locked In the
rooms of the Delta Phi Psl and It Is Btlll
chilly these mornings.
