Mayo's 'Baby Mine,' which I played I put
o much eagerness nnd sincerity Into tha
part that Edwin MUton Boylp, told me onco
I had quite ruined his enjoyment of tho
piece. 'I like kids n lot.' was his objection,
'and I foil llko tho douco to sco that fellow
take on ns he did.'
'Incidentally, let mo say that one of tho
hardest ages to look'before the footlights Is
thirty-two, which I happen to bo In real life
What brought that to my mind was your
question as to how I camo to bo at tho Win
tor Garden one ncason. Mr. Brady had put
me out In a drama by Frederlo Arnold
Kummer called Tho Brute.' Its theme was
tho extravaganco of wives, and tho 'wal
lop' camo when tho husband actually ex
erted physical stress to Impress his econ
omy lesson on her. lie was supposed to bo
thirty-two, andfor tho life of me 1 couldn't
get a grip on tho part; It was qulta out of
my line. So when It closed they shifted
mo to Fiftieth street and Broadway from
tho West, whero wo'd been. Supporting
Goby was something decidedly novel, and
while I don't care to think back often to
my musical comedy career thero. It was
not unlnstructlo. Ono can learn any
where ,
"How about your experiences with
"Prunella"? tho interviewer and tho stout
and benutlful press ngont, who had Just
come up, asked in chorus. Mr. Glendin
ning then told how Wlnthrop Ames sent
for htm find asked htm If he could do Pier
rot In that protty llttlo'fantaay by Oran
vllle Barker and Laurence Hotttman.
" 'Frankly Mr. Ames Informed me, 'I don't
think you can. Tho preliminaries before I
rot tho part wero some of them harrowing.
I overslept an engagement with tho pro-
faucer, nna nnnlly when wo went to the Llt
' tie Theater tho climax of grotosquerle, so
I thought thon, enme. Thero wero about
1 four of tho Xootllghts on; mothball- stuff
(ji j on tho chairs My audience was Mr. Ames
C and tho colored Janitor. Despite nil that.
wnen i. gqt through th6 try-out, Mr Ames
ran up to mo and said, 'Glendinning, I waa
a fool.' You seo ho meant I had satisfied
him In spite of himself."
Tho stout nnd beautiful press agent'mur
mured something about an engagement for
dinner, and toyed fretfully with his Jewels,
but ho Intcnlowor, being In a mental
Oliver Twist mood, detained hint and his
star. "What else?" wo demanded. "Well,
vaudeville, for Instance," replied tho un
wearied "Youth." "I was with Grace La
Hue In (ho varieties, and now hold your
breath really nnd truly recited Tho Shoot
ing of Dan McGrow.' That was before It
had become so hackneyed. I got It over be
fore tho audiences knew I was about to
"speak, a piece.' That was probably why
they liked It. Landing In Chicago on that
venture, I mapped out a dandy return
trip to New York by water That was en
joyable. But at tho other end of that trip
was Mr. Ames's letter In regard to Pier
rot. ,
"My season with Mr. Ames tAUght mo
ens factthat acting Is, has to be, a busi
ness. 'Prunella did thirteen weeks In
the metropolis; but wltH nny other mnnager
three would have been plenty, It starved.
I am an nctor, and can't afford to play a
season of twenty-four weeks, with a twonty-elght-weelc
lay-off. People Inveigh against
the 'commercial system.' Well, what la
the answer when poetlo drama attracts no
notice, and almost any venture outside the
commercial" scope goes to tho wall?"
Neither the Interviewer nor tho stout and
beautiful press agent knew, so the talk
ended at least for publication. B. D.

anm 1 oaav, woman jl omorrow
f7"AMPS" or "chicena" take yur choice- That is tho fem
V inine qide of tho screen today.
If tho lady is a brunette, she acquires morals to match.
If she i3 a blonde, the cameraman crowns her with a halo of sunlit
curls, and the scenario writer surrounds her with the moral and
mental aura, of a pink tea. If, like Mary Alden, sho happens to be
a fine dctress and a woman of dignity and trains, as well as dark
complexion, she may not "vamp" all the time; but she wont be
vejy conspicuous in the starlight of the electric bulbs. The excep
tions, such as Ethel Clayton and Gait Kane, are very few.
But what about the man of the screen? There are exceptions
in that field fast enough; exceptions that prove the rule which I
am trying tc? evolve. We 'have our J. Warren Kerrigans, our
Francis X. Bushmans, our Wallace Beids "pretty boys" all. But
haVe we not '.'Doug" Fairbanks to boot, Owen Moore, Charles Ray
and Bobbie Harron? Andby far the biggest and most prom
ising side of, the film situation we have a predominant group of
male players in W. S. Hart, Theodore Roberts,, Tyrone Power,
Wilfred Lucas, Holbrook Blinn, Frank Keenan, TuUy Marshall,
H. B. Warner, George Fawcett, W. H. Thompson all men of
mature experience of life and art, giving vivid, pungent studies of
vigorous, interesting, worth-while men,
Feminists could doubtless account for this contrast easily
enoughi The women 6f the present day screen are designed
merely to "please," whether morally pr qtherwise. The men are
privileged to have a three-dimensional existence? as creatures
living for their own ends instead of those qf the other sex.
ut a simpler explanation would be to suggest that the photo
play is simply in the melodrama period of development so fair as
the women go, while it has developed just a bit beyond that on the
male side of the question. The lack of villains to match the "vam
pires" is good evidence.
Mighty good evidence, indeed I For it ia one portent of the
fine future to which the screen art is bound, TC, M,

DON'T BE JEALOUS,
DECLARES STAR
AT KEITH'S
Jealousy Is not only a. handicap to hap
piness In thfs world, but to popularity and,
according to Dorothy Jardon, famous
Broadway beauty and musical comedy star.
It prevents one from being attractive Miss
Jardon knows the secrot and says she la
always willing to sharo' It because It Is a
secret that every ono could uso. Miss
Jardon has returned to vaudeville for nn
othcr short season and will be tho headline
feature of tho Thanksgiving week bill at
Keith's When nskod what sho did to be
witch people, Miss Jardon said: .
"If I am attrnctlvo to people. It Is be
causo I .havo gained personality through
not being Jealous. Jealously Is the bug
bear of the American women. I hao never,
seen anything like the way they allow It
to play upon thetr nerves and perhnps to
bring a storm of tears In Its wake. Tears
wash away more than a heartachc so do
not Indulge If you want to fight off Father
Time. ,
"In tho first place, Jealousy lodged In
the human breast and allowed full sway
preys upon the whole nervous system. And
when thq nenes nro all unstrung tho dl
gestho system comes In for a general
upsetting The stomach Is affected, tha
appctlto goos, and tho energy ttfat should

this part of beauty's undoing Awoman
who Is subject to fits of Jealousy Is con
stantly exposing herself td colds. Kvery
Jealous fit overheats tho blood and Is there

characteristics, watch tho Jealous woman

Watch tho expression of her mouth and
the decided lines In" her face nnd ask
yourself If sho can bo attractive to any
one. Her woman friends know her failures
nnd laugh at her behind her back becausa

"HOLLIDAY" SPURNS
AUSTRALIA FOR
THE GARRICK
Fred Nlblo, George M Cohan's brother-in-law,
who Is coming to tho Garrlck next
week In his relative's play, "Hlt-the-Trall
Ifblllday," has often appeared In Aus
tralla. Ho lus presented several of Mr.
Cohan's pieces there, and may do so In tho
case of "Holllday."
Tho Australians not only want this par
ticular play, chletly bocause It comes from
Cohan's pen, biit they nlso want Nlblo, who
Introduced CpHan to tho play-goers on tho
other side of ho world, and who Inci
dentally made a place for himself there
among- the stage favorites. Hut It Is doubt
ful If the Australian request wilt bo ac
ceded to. M least not for a long time to
come, "Ilolllday" has been too big a
winner to trifle with here, and. besides, tho
star of tho comedy Is half expecting a new
play from tho Inimitable George 11., which
may be ready by tho time the present tour
of "Holllday" Is over.
Thlladelphlans know Mr. Nlblo best as a
travel lecturer. Ills1 latest appearance hero
was made In that capacity Ave or six years
ago. The fact Is he has hod the wanderlust
aver since he was a lad In knee breeches.
but ho has also had considerable theatrical
experience, both as actor and manager,
"I hit my flrsFtralL" says Nlblo, "when
I was fourteen years old, and made straight
from Nebraska, where I waa brought up,
to New York. My first Job was In a whole
sale woolen house. Then, In turn, I becamo
a life Insurance agent, a semlprofesslopal
entertainer and, at last, a black-face
minstrel, It waa In a minstrel part thft I
made my professional debut. In the next
ten years or so I think I played everything
on the stage except tber footlights and tha
prpps At one. trhjo I was a monologlirt In
vaudeville; I served time In melodrama; I
wrote sketches and acted In them, and I
was a manager.
"The show that i managed was Tho
Ooveraors Son. The other half of the
management was, George M., Cohan. Wo
wero together threo years on the road.
When I once spoke of 'managing' George
he said it was tho funniest thing he ever
heard, t guess tie was right,
"In 1900 I monologued for the first time
In London, and after tlmt I played there
for ten weeks every summer Then I took

PLACE OF WOMAN
IN THEATER. AS
, WELL AS HOME
By PEGGY WOOD
tXote Our readers told be interested to
know that the writer of this article, who Is
an actress. Is the daughter of tho well
known Socialist, Eugene Wood, Bhv Is ptal
ing at the Lyrio in "dirts Will Be Olrls.")
In her march toward emancipation and
Independence vwiman has been hampered
to a great degree by an opposition which
was allegedly based upon a desire to assist
her and "sax a her from heitielf." Treach
erous influences, desirous of retarding her
progress, lme attempted to frighten her
with stories of dangers which threatened If
she attempted to make tho next step for
ward.) Nod only has woman been compelled
to fight her avowed enemies, but she has
also been forced to break down the masked
opposition which. In tha guise of frfendt
ship, endeavored to restrain her.
In tha opposition to woman's demand for
an equal -tight on the political field, tho
same Influences which fought against her
upon the economic field are met with. In
fact, tho entrance of woman Into politics Is
meeting even stronger and more acrid op
position than did her appearance In the eco
nomic field, and for obvious reasons.
The bugbear, which Is being- conjured up
In the hope that not only will woman be
frightened but that many men -who be
lieve themselves chivalrous knights will
oppose the enfranchisement of woman Is
that the ballot -will pollute her. This ob
jection la not a new one, though Its form
may be different from those which pre
ceded It, For centuries woman has always
been warned that the step whlchsho was
about to take would make her unwomanly
and have a debasing Influence upon her.
The slogan that "woman's place is In tho
home" Is only another form of "the same
objection.
The history of the theater, beginning
with tho time when women first appeared
On the stage. Indicates that the same
temper which Is met with among tho antl
suffragists today was prevalent at that
ttm? The jippearance Qf a woman on the
stage In those early days waa the signal
for catcalls', insults, and, eten rioting The
strolling players were considered little bet',
ter than vagabonds and thieves, and a
woman "who waa found in such company was
considered no better- than her associates.
respite tha tremendous handicap, which
yergfd upon a tremendous selt-eacrlflce,
women continued to choose a stage career
As more and more women appeared upon
the stage, the moral nnd artlstlo tone of the
theater rose and. tha drama began to re.
Kciyp the respect wljlch It deserved As the
years rolled on women took up work in

Great viastcr, in your hours of leisure,

Oft have I seen some human turtle
Gleefully gargle some one's highball.
A boot directed at the stomach

And "Fatty's" falls on hill and hummock
Equaled in wit the bitten car lobe.
I caracoled ivith rare delight, sir, ,
And shook tvith mirth from top to bottom;
When pic-wreathed mimes made such a sight, sir,
The auditors exclaimed, "Dod rot 'cm!"
Oh, art is long and chefs arc fleeting.
And rare the genius that inspires 'em.

Merely because my mind admires 'cm.

mentally concluded. The strong eun was

the omce stair seemed to bo run or nusine.

that Mr. Ualahofer had Just gone out on
tho stage and that sho would call him
for me.
Tho office wnlls were covered with photo
graphs of Harold Lockwood, May Allison
nnd lister Cuneo. A few mlnUtea later
I was confronted with tho executive Ynan
of the plant. I recognised him as the 6ne
tlme head of tho New York Motion TlctUre
Companywho later exploited a number
of tho screen stars, sjnd who recently be
camo nUlllated with the Metro Corporation.
Vvo exchanged compliments nnd together
started on a tour of tho studio.
"There's Mr. Lockwood," exclaimed a
child nctress, Virginia Corbln, and we pro
ceeded In that direction. Thero, as big as
day, with a smllo which I understand had
earned for him the studio tltlo of "Smiling
Harold Lockwood," stood tho hero of many
nim romances, lintshofer Introduced mo to
Lockwood, who, I might say. Is the type
noarest to Douglas Fairbanks In personality
nnd mannerism I lune yet met In stagedora.'
Perhaps that Is why studio folk have titled
him "Smiling," for Fairbanks nlso has a.
Bmlle that la famous.
Lockwood told us how Interested he was
In his present story. "Wo are dolnrllafild

Wo became good friends. "I was born In

was told that on nccount of a number ot

could goto tho ball game. "Great." cxlecf
tho villain of cclluloldvlllo aa ho yelled

Intense Interest Harold and Max aa they
portrayed a, dramatic soene. I received the
salno sensation ns thought I was witnessing

brother of tho famous Macklyn; Virginia
Southern, tho pretty Bcreen actress, and
William Do Vnull. whom' wo all saw In
"The Birth of a Nation" nnd In arlffltV
latest spectacle, "Intolerance."
It Is In this studio that tho Lockwood
Allison Metro plays nre being produced. I
learned from Miss Allison that "pidgin
Island" was their third picture In this
new studio. "For tho exterior scenes we
went up to Monterey, Uio most beautiful
placo I cer 'Waited. We remained at
Monterey for two weeks n'nd hod a glorious
time," nnd sho nmllcd sweetly. Luqcll
hour woh then declared, and as a guest
of Lockwood's I seated myself In hla new
automobile. Wo discussed various topics,
and I found him to bo a brilliant indi
vidual. To my siuprlse, wo finally drifted
to a discussion of mythology, I then reah
Ized I wan In the presenco of. a well-read
actor, which mado me think twice every
time I wanted to say something, for fear
I would go wrong on my grammar. (I
did not say very much after my discovery.)
We lunched at a cafeteria close by, -where
wo both carried trays and collected our
food In small portions. Lockwood Is -very-fond
of alligator penr salad. In fact ha
ordered a second portion. 'Smiling Harold
paid tho check and wo motored In the di

Ills make-up a, bit and announced his re-
