TURNING BACK THE
DRAMATIC CLOCK
TO 1787
Now wo know whero Messrs. Tarklngton
and Wilson got tholr Inspiration for "The
Man From Homo." Wasn't It, perhaps, out
of "Tho Contrast," tho first American com
edy to bo produced under tho auspices of
tho Drama Lcaguo and the University
of Pennsylvania at tho Broad next Thurs
day nftcrnoon? At any rato, tho principal
part In tho old play, Jonathan, Is surely
tho dled-ln-the-wool American, whoso stanch
nationalism Is contrasted with tho affecta
tions of foreign deportment and speech.
"Tho Contrast" was written by Itoyall
Tyler In 1787. This was tho second Ameri
can play, tho first being a tragedy, 'Tho
Prince of Partbla," written by Thomas
Godfrey In 1707. This was produced by one
of tho literary societies at tho University
a few years ngo. Next Thursday tho light
ing, seonlo and costumo effects will repro
duce tho first pcrformanco of "Tho Con
trast" as nearly as possible. Later In the
season under tho samo auspices a modorn
play will be producod.
Tho author of "Tho Contrast," Itoyall
Tyler, was born In Boston, July 18, 1757,
and graduated from Harvard College. After
studying law ho became nlde-do-camp to
General Benjamin Lincoln during tho Invo
lution. Coming to New York city on a com
mission connected with tho army, ho became
Interested In tho theatro and wrote "Tho
Contrast," which was performed at the John
Street Theatre, New York, April 1G. 1787,
by tho American company under Hallam
and Henry. The principal part, that nf
Jonathan, was played by Thomas Wlgnell
This play was repeated several times In
New York and was played In Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Boston. Tyler wrote at
least threo other plays, two of which, ".May
Pay In Town, or New York In an Up
roar nntl A ucorgia spec" or "Land In
tho Moon" wero performed In Boston and
New York. Tyler became Chief Justice of
tho Supremo Court of Vermont In 1807 and
died In 1820.

Ono of tho most successful pupils of a
celebrated horsa trainer and driver, who
was engaKed to rehearse tho chariot driv
ers, was Constanco Talmadgc. It required
but two months for her to becomo a skilled
charioteer, but this would not have been
possible, had sho not been a young woman
of great daring and of considerable athletic
skill Miss TalmuilKo knows no fear. Sho
Is a powerful swimmer and an accomplished
horsewoman. She heemed to take to chariot
driving as naturally as she had taken to
swimming. Sho declared that she would
become proficient within two months, and
that was no vain boast Moreover, at tho
pud of that tlmo bho was able to drive a
chariot nt breakneck speed. In tho fcpec
tacle sho Is seen In control of horses draw
ing her chariot as sho dashes In ndvanco of
tho army of Cyprus, heroically determined
to save tho man sho loves, nelshazzar, and
the city of Habylon from destruction at tho
hands of tho Invading army.
"Chariot driving," said Miss Talmadge
recently, "Is one of tho most exhilarating
Bports. I only wish tho women of America

self to use a chariot In the parte If thcro
wero not so many automobiles around Not
that I would bo scared by them, but I
would not enjoy winding In and out among
motorcars, and I nm afraid that If I did
sny of this speeding I would soon bo stopped
by tho park guards Tho first day I tried to
drive a chariot the horses wero kept In
traces. 1 experienced no difficulty what
ever In keeping tho horses In cqntrol, but
I must confess that I was Jolted consider
ably as I drove over rough ground I
-.eemed any minute on tho ergo ot being
tin own out. After a few preliminary trials
the traces woio lemoved and then my
troubles began. It was all rlsht going
straight ahead, but whemner I wanted to
make a turn, tho hoi sen becamo confused,
tho reins got tangled and we would como
to a dead Mop or elso be nearly upset A
great deal of coaxing, many lumps of sugar
and plenty of tipples ultimately got tho
horses Into a docllo mood, nnd ono day

they went through their paces without a
single mishap. I knew then that I had
mastered tho art of chariot driving.
"It was great fun. At every opportunity
I could get I went Into n chariot nnd drove
like mad. We can do things like that In
California. But ono dnv when I was going
over a particularly rough fctretch of ground,
I had an accident. I made a line swiciiing
turn nnd Just as I had completed It, oft
went tho right wheel. I held on with all
my might to tho lelns. Tho horses obejed
mo on tho Instant and whllo I was thrown
to tho ground I was dragged but a few
feet, and was no worso for thu mishap than
a few bruises nnd a bedraggled, torn skirt.
'However, If you are intending to become
a chariot drler Just for the fun ot the
thing, don't bo alarmed because of this
cxporlenco of mine. It Is not necessaiy for
jou to drlvo at terrific speed nor over rough
country, nnd a llttlo care In ndvanco will
guarantee that the wheel of your chariot
will not fly off "
