For perhaps a score of years ho has oc cupied a conspicuous position In the front rank of American stars, and with the retirement of K. II. Snthern ho stands virtually without a competitor In the dlK- f nlfled line of artistic endeavor with which he has always been Identified. Henrietta Crosman's success dates back ' to her triumph In "Mistress Nell." Later , her association with David Bclosco In ' "Sweet Kitty Bcllalrs" materially strenKth- ened her hold on public favor, and several ' , times In more recent years she has appeared at the head 'of her own companies. i For several seasons Charles Cherry was the leading man for and shared Dionors with Maxlne Elliott and upon her return ' to England he was featured and starred In , productions under the arrangement of Charles and Daniel Frohman. I Hilda Spong was prominent In London before her success In this country., Her latest association was with Henry Miller ' In his stock company In San Kijanclsco . She resigned that position for the role of Lesbta Grantham In "Getting MsinSed," an t attractive spinster who sighs for children, but "doesn't want to be bothered! with a husband." The four stars are not only luminaries that twinkle In the firmament of "Getting Married." Included In the distinguished list are I.umsen Hare, John tllarwoocl, Arleen Hackctt, Marjorle Kggleston, George Fitzgerald, Hugh Dlllman, Mrs. Edmund Gurney and Herbert Belmore. "Getting Married" Is the seventeenth Bhaw play to be given to this country since Richard Mansfield pioduced "Arms and the Man" at the Herald Square Theatre. In New York, September i, 1891. The. premiere of this production marked the introduction of Mr. Shaw as a dramatist to American audiences. It also started the Shaw vogue In the theatre here. The poiwilarlty of Shaw has grown steadllv until no theatrical season seems complete In New York without Ite Shaw performance. The sixteen S,haw plays which followed Mansfield's Introduction of "Arms and the Man" are "The Devil's Disciple," "Candida," "You Never Can Tell," "Mrs. Warren's Profession," 'Cashel Byron's Profession." "Man and Superman." "The Doctor's Di lemma," "Captain Brassbound's Conver sion," "John Bull's Other Island," "The Philanderer," "The Showlng-Up of Blanco Posnet." "Fanny's First Play." "Pygma lion," "Androcles and the Lion," "Major Barbara" and "Getting Married." "The 'Devil's Disciple" vas the second of the Shaw plays seen In America. It was produced by Mr. Mansfield during the sea Bon of 189", three years after "Arms and the Man" had been added to the extensive Mansfield repertory. "Arms and the Man" later lutnlshed the story for the brilliant light opera, "The Chocolate Soldier."

"Particularly Intcrest'ng was the work of research. With a story the centuries old, It was neither easy nor economical to get accurate data. Wc had to nyKemlilp some 5000 costumes of the period. My recollec tion Is that we had to assemble about 13,000 separate articles of costume, equipage and heraldic significance Then It was neces sary to build three sepal ate and distinct vl' lages, eacli a duplicate of tho original.

THE TOWER OF BABEL HAS NAUGHT ON THIS Which Means That the New Cross Keys Show Demands Linguistic Cleverness Those who have had an npportumtv of witnessing Boyle Woolfolk's "Six Little Wives," at the Cross Keys Theatre next week, havo commented upon the seeming facility with which the sextette (from which the show takes Its title) speak tho various lines In foreign languages allotted to them Thereby hangs a tale. "Six Little Wives" is by Will Houch, author of "Tho Time, the Place and the Girl," "A Stubborn Cinder ella" and nearly a Ecoro of other big Chi cago musical comedy successes Hough is Bclasconian In his closo adheience to real Ism on the stage. Ho will stand for no faking or subterfuge. If the libietto calls for a diamond ring, a diamond ring It must be. Hough has been at onco the admiration and despair of Impresarios for fifteen years. So successful have been his works that managers havo been loathe to crois him In his desires, which they feel arc "tho extravagance and cccontrlcity of genius." On the arrival of the "Six Little Wives" they are supposed to speak their lines ln Husslan, Italian, German, Turklah, Japanese and Scotch, respectively. I lough provided the lines. When the young ladles came to attack the strange languages they ran up against a stone wall, Kor several days they wrestled with the llngos, from Musco vite to the burred dlnlcct of tho Celt. Hough's artistic sensibilities jvero strained to the breaking point. Woolfolk suggested that the young women bo allowed ti "fake" tho gibberish. Hough would not listen. Then It waa that a school of foreign lan guages was called Into tho breach. The six girls wero sent for a week's coufso to the school to,learn how to speak their lines according to Hoyle. The young women to whom the German and Italian lines were allotted completed their tasks the first day '. a three-day course succeeded In teaching the Scotch, but tho Husslan, Turkish and Japanese proved the hardest a,nd required an entire week.

Some of the finest features which tho screen has known have been the work of this talented couple, and their latest picture, "Idle Wives," is said by critics to be their greatest effort as producers, an assertion that I'hiladelphlans will have an opportunity to verify or dls lii ovc, for "Idle Wives" will bo tho prin cipal attraction at the Victoria next week. A long string of film classics stands to tho ciedlt of the Smalleys "HypocVltes," the allegorical picture which scored heavily and served to put the Smalleys' names on the screen, "Scandal," perhaps their most vivid production, and "Jewel," one of the m6st appealing of Juvenile fl'm stories. The Smal leys also directed Anna Pavlowa In her film debut In "The Dumb Clrl of Portlel." "Where Are My Children?" Is another of the Smalleys' masterpieces, but they are not lemeinbered for their long pictures alone. One of their shorter productions was ' There Is No Place Like Home," a one teel cameo, and another two-reel pictuie, "A Cigarette That's All," was one of the most perfect bits -of technique, which the cinema ait has known.

It was wiltten by L'dward Klsner and Is presented in seven scenes. Tho theme has to do with the eter nal triangle and the piece was originally written as the curtain-raiser to ono of the plajs picsented by Louis Munii, with whom Miss Wellman appeared for several seasons. The title of "flash" drama Is given through tho manner In which the various ciiaiacters of the story aio revealed to the audience. It Is a sort of motion-picture effect, although all the characters appear In real life. The stage Is entirely dark and through tho aid of powerful lights, arranged in the entrances and wings, the characters of the play are brought Into view. The Idea of the "flash" has been used for nov elty effects In tho presentation of song numbers, but this Is the first time on record hat It has been utilized for dramatic pur poses, Lmlly Ann Wellman, who graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1907, and scored that same year In "The (lullty Man," has spent most of her pro fessional career in the companies of Louis Mann, appearing with him In his most suc cessful productions.

Incidentally It contains an excellent plea for the moving-picture drama. That plea consists of the fact that three sets of chaiactcrs are about to commit acts of folly. They will nttend a moving-plcturo theatre, and, In a play called "Life's Mirror," see tile lesults of their proposed courses of ac tion Tho three sets of characters are a young girl and her lover, a married couple and the family of a vvorklngman, The "counterfeit presentment" of their own cases upon the screen turns their feet in the right direction. This fl'm play within a film play tells of a family worn out with toll and poverty, who begin the evening with a squabble. The quarrel, slight at first, begins to grow bitter, when tlie eldest daughter says: "father, mother, why spend the whole evening quar reling? Let's go to a picture show." A pretty young girl turns rebellious and goes to the same picture house with a young man against whom her mother had warned her "because ho has a bad reputation." A young husband with a roving eye selects an nttractlvo companion for an evening, "at tho movies," with a dinner to follow. The pair are followed by his wife In an agony of Jealousy. In this film within a film they each are taught separate lessons. The little trip to the movies sets the world straight again for them all. They go home changed persons.

"I heard you sing that song at the Metro politan la Philadelphia during tho win ter," said the Interviewer, "and I could see several persons seated near me fur tively drying tear-dimmed eyes. How do you weave tho spell over our audience to bilng listeners to teals?" "The secret lies In the personal equation," was tho McCormack response. "I try to put myself in the place of the audience. I feel that I am one of them and I have no false Idea of my own importance. It Is only by accident that I happen to havo a voice and to be able to sing. I never take It for granted tjiat my audlenco knows less than I do. So I do not try to educato my hearers.

Mr. Hayakawa had rid den In on a surf board on tho beach nt Walklkl, Just out of Honolulu, and was sitting In tho sahd waiting for the di rector to call him for another scene, "I wouldn't mind If they gave mo pictures like this to do nil tho time.

As I had always been moro or less Inter ested in the dramatic art, I went on the stage under the direction of my uncle Otto Kawakaml. I came to America' studied dramatic art nt tho University of Chicago, translated several modern plays Into the Japanese language, went back to my country, but eventually' returned to America nnd entered motion picture work "I am sure' you will like 'The Bottle Imp' as It is a very unusual story and the Imps come out of the bottle and do nil sorts of weird things. And its most of the scenes are filmed In Hawaii It will not only be Interesting from a dramatic standpoint but from a scenic nspect as well. This Is the first time I have ever played an Hawaiian and I think I like It even better than being a Japanese." Mr. Hnyakavva, who Is a man of con sidciable culture. English as well as Japa nese, is nn ardent Stevensonlan, He be lieves that more of It. L. S. wouldn't hurt the movies a bit ; might even bring into their scope Mrac gleams of romance, of poetry, of excitement nnd pictorial Interest. In dlscussjng tho usable works of "Tusl tala," ho suggested that "The Isle of Voices" would be a suitable choice. He explained that, being a fairy tale of Poly nesia, this romance would be admirably material. " "ftoctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' has, I believe, been done Bevcral times by the cinematographic forces," he went on, "but I have yet to see a wholly satisfactory adaptation, although tho photoplay should bo pre-eminently able to deal with an eerie story like this. Involving mysterious changes of personality and the like. Perhaps the finest Stevenson work for tho movies Is 'The Master of Ballantra'e.' There you get superb chances to present wonderful scenery, ns tho action shifts over the globe, from the picturesque Adlrondacks to tho Hudson, and so on. Kor farcical purposes 'The Misadventures of John Nicholson' Is a little gem. This, or, perhaps, 'The' Wrong Box,' might servo for comic relief on the Stevenson celluloid menu."
