MISS ADAMS'S GOAL
B': . . . .
w 'AKR 7I1A Hnrfa tn Rno KVininrvnrl
Actors Regardless of Foot-
light Prominence
The nearest approach to the method that
In vogue In the European theatre
W6re the war la the syslom carried out
at the Maude Adams company. In the con
tinental theatres abroad the actors are com
pelted to play the roles assigned them by
the directors. It Is not uncommon, there
fore, to And the actor who had the domi
nating role In the play given one night
enacting a small. Insignificant part In tho
flay glen tho following night.
In this country the acttr has always
-foufht this system tooth and nail, What
with the star system, long runs and spe
cialising In types of character portraiture,
the actors have been able virtually to
rnake the managers do their own bidding.
It la nothing In this country for an actor
to decline an engagement with a good enl
ry for the reason that he decides the role
Riven him to play to be unworthy of his
talents.
Maude Adams engages her people for
their general fitness. In an actor's contract
there Is no stipulation of the parts tvr stylo
of parts he Is to play. It It plain that ho
must play the roles assigned him. He
might think that on account of his salary
he will never be given a small role when
a less expensive player might handle It.
In this he is fooling himself
In the revival of "Quality Street' a few
seasons ago Angela Ogden played Susan
Thrcssell, the part opposite that of Miss
Adams, and a fine nctlnsr role. During last
keason Miss Ogden had two lines In "The
Little Minister," but this season she has
come Into her own again with a good role
In the last act of "A Kiss for Cinderella "
Robert Payton Carter has a role In the
present play consisting of six words and a
cough. This capable actor had the role of
Captain Hook the pirate chief. In "Peter
Pan," a prominent role In "Chantecler" and
"fat" parts In "What Every Woman
Knows" and "The Little Minister"
Wallace Jackson, after long alternating
between footmen and typm of servants,
has at last been rewarded with a good "bit"
In "A Kiss for Cinderella." David Tor
rence, who has had prominent roles In Miss
Adams's productions of "Joan of Arc."
"As You Like It" and In the Barrio plays,
has the small but amusing role of the
cockney king In the ball scene of the new
play.
Ada Bohell, remembered as the garru
lous White Hen In "Chantecler," has had
to play evorythlng from "first old woman"
to general utility parts in the plays pre
sented by Miss Adams during recent Ma
sons. At present she has the role of Mrs.
Maloney and that of the Queen with the
brogue In "A Kiss for Cinderella."
How Miss Adams succeeds In doing what
no other manager has been able to accom
plish In the assignment of roles no one
knows, but the explanation may He In the
fact that her associates like her and know
that she is always Just in her treatment
of them.
SAM HOUSTON'S WARS
THRILLINGLY STAGED
Film Play "The Conqueror." Entailed
Liberal Expenditure of Costly
Munitions
The forests of Cahuenga Canyon, near
Los Angeles, recently echoed and re-echoed
for two weeks to the notes of war while
Director n. A, Walsh, of the William Fox
studios was taking his battle scenes for
the production' starring William Farnum In
'The Conqueror," which will bo the chief
feature at the Arcadia Theatre next week.
During these fourteen days 600 horses
raced back and forth across the spacious
plains adjoining the canyon. Four hundred
and fifty Mexicans, a like number at Indian
braves and 100 men and women represent
ing settlers on the border were carried
dally to the grounds, where they went
through all the motion of fierce and prlml
tlme warfare.
Studious research rewarded Sir Walsh
with an exact knowledge of the artillery of
the stirring days of Sam Houston. Tho

dlreotor superintended tho building of
twenty-three old-stylo cannons for use In
the battle. Nine of these were actually
cast from Iron and were Just as useful for
damage as the originals. Fifteen others
were wooden and were lighted with flare
puffs for good photographic effect In the
battle.
The Fox studios spent $6000 for ammuni
tion alone during the making of this pro
duction; $3000 went for cannon munitions
and the balance purchased powder nntl
chemicals for the muskets used and for the
making of hand grenades. In staging the
scene 600 shots were allowed to each otf
ttie nine usable cannons. An unlimited sup
ply of blank cartridges was given to each
musket bearer.
'The Conqueror" plcturlzes the herola life
and romantic times of General Sam Hous
ton, the man who blazed the path for the
Independence of Texas. The story fellows
Houston's career from the period when as
a youth he was an Illiterate, the companion
of the Cherokee Indians, to the point whero
he later became Governor of his native
State, Tennessee, and afterward the lib
erator of Texas.
BALL AND RAGTIME
DID NOT MIX WELL
So Blossom Seeley, Wife of Mnrqunrd,
Brooklyn's Pitcher, Now
Stars Alone
The Invention of ragtime, according to
learned doctors of music who have spent a
lot of valuable time tracing syncopated mel
ody back to Its birth, occurred long before tho
present generation of music lovers espoused
It, but only In comparatively recent years
has It becoma popular. Blossom Seeley,
widely known as a vaudeville etar nnd noted
for her ability to cope with syncopation,
claims tho distinction of being ono of tho
first ragtime singers to ndorn artistically
a high-priced theatrical entertainment
This mngnctlc star, who comes to Kelth'i
next week can be quoted ns being complete
ly wedded to Byncopated music She ad
mittedly prefers It to the highest grndo of
classical music, nlthough he had a fine
musical education nnd studied long and
luird to accomplish her end before sho en
tered vaudellle as a ragtime vocallste.
In private life Miss Seeley Is the wlfo
of "llube" Marquard, one of the Btar pitch
ers of tho Brooklyn club. For more thnn
two seasons Miss Seeley and her huibanil
"teamed" In Miudevllle. the fact that he
was known as "tho $11,000 beauty of baso
ball" being an asset that Induced her to
try to make an actor out of a diamond star
They finally agreed that baseball nnd
theatricals did not mix and Marquard de
cided to run all his attention to baseball
and permit his wife to hold up the family
name on tho stage.
PICKING THE CHORUS
A SUBTLE BUSINESS
Max Scheck Estimates Its Grace Be
fore One Danco Step
Is Taken
"It takes me Just one minute to tell
whether a girl can dance or not and sho
doesn't have to dance to prove It to mo,"
claims Max Scheck. who Is responsible
for the dancing numbers in 'The Grass
Widow," now visible at tho Forrest.
He then went on to explain his method
of selecting tho dancers from a group of
girls. First he haB them stand In n line.
"I run my eye down the line and note
the position of the feet of each girl. It
Is an unconscious position, as the girls are
not aware that the test has begun, and It
Is pretty clearly revealed what natural
grace each one possesses. Then I call on
first one girl, then another, to walk over
and take her position at tho other side
of the room. As she walks I can gain a
rather accurate idea of how she will dance
Again she la unconiclous. Careful obser
vation coupled with long experience has
convinced me that there Is no quicker or
surer way to Judgn a girl's natural gift
for dancing nnd graceful movement"
Max Scheck Is welt known in Philadel
phia, which is the city of his birth. For
several years also hr was a newspaper man
here, doing drama, lo work and special
stories for The Call (now extinct). He
began his professional career with the
Zlegfeld Follies, vhere he worked himself
up from the smallest of positions In tho
chorus to that of dancing director Among
the recent productions whose danoing num
bers he has directed are "Watch Tour Step"
and "Flora Bella."

Actor
Douglass Fairbanks, who Is constantly
surprising tho publlo by his darlnff and
athletic stunts on tho screen, did not, as
many people suppose, learn theso acts
merely for tho pictures. Fairbanks Is and
has been for years one of the best all
around athletes In this country. Slnco boy
hood he has constantly trained strenuously
nnd there Is no branch In sports In which
ha is not proficient.
When on tho speaking stage Fnlrbanks'a
dresser was an ex-profcsslonal prlso fighter
nnd It was n dally stunt with the actor to
box him six to eight rounds nnd to go the
pace. During Fnlrbanks'a last engagement
In this city, which wns at the Garrlck,
uhero ho appeared In "Tho Henriotta," ho
mndo a dally practice of taking an early
morning run down Broad street as far as
Jackson nnd back. Attired in a heavy
sweater and enp he became a conspicuous
figure at this work and ono morning ha
lound himself being paced by a boy on a
bicycle. After going several squares tho
boy yelled at Fairbanks, "Say, bo, who do
you fight at tho Olympla Monday night?"
"Wanderer" Hovels for Hallowcon
"The Wanderer" company, now playing at
tho Metropolitan Opera House, will give a

upon revels of this nature. It Is expected
that he will arrange many unusual features
for the Halloween ball. Tho ballet and
ensemblo of 'Tho Wanderer" company will

LIFE IS SEASONED
FOR GEORGE WALSH
Screen Actor Preparing New
Production Is Victim of
Many Jinxes
"Smllinir dec-rue" Walsh, the vIbotous
William Fox star, booked for the Victoria
next week, hnd often heard the expression:
"It's a srent life It you don't weaken. He
almost believes now that this sentiment
originated in anticipation of his new pic
ture, "Tills Is tho Life." Proofs of this
apparent prophecy nbound.
Ttf begin with, Walsh had a narrow es
cape being lamed for llfo when he leaped
from a wnll to the back of a horso nnd had
his knee gashed by n. projecting piece of
brass on the saddle. He wns Just recover
ing from tho effects of thla Injury, which
forced him to walk llko an octogenarian,
when ho had to nppear In tho scene show
ing a perfectly nppolnted dental oftlce.
Whllo sitting in the chair nnd giving n
graphic portrayal of the tortures he was
suffering, Qeorgo let ono of hla flying hands
hit tho actor-dentist. This gentleman per
mitted the long Btecl probo he was holding
to puncture tho upper eyelid of his patient
An examination disclosed thnt tho eye had
not been Injured, but that his night would
havo been Impaired serlouMy had tho ln
Btrumcnt struck him n fraction of nn Inch
lower
Tho next day Walsh was ready for work
ngaln. He brought with him to tho big
studio in Hollywood, Cal , a hnlf-dosen
Jlnxchascrs. In his buttonholo was a four
leaf clover. In ono coat pocket was a small
horseshoe. In another a rabblt'H foot nnd In
his hand ho carried a Confederal coin.
The hoodoo banlshers wero of no nvnll
The film nctor worked about nn hour, felt
thirsty nnd wandered Into tho electrical
department nearby, whero thero was a
cooler of water. A tlncup attached ttf a
chain was tho only aallnbtn means of get
ting a drink Unknown to Walsh tho men
In tho department hnd nrranged matters so
that an outsider could not procure a drink
without also getting a shock. As soon as
Oeorge lifted tho cup to his lips womo olio
pressed tho button Tho contact of tho
electricity and tho water Intensified the
shock and tho Fox stnr thought he was
going to bo electrocuted.
Then Bomo cruel person reminded Walsh
that tho title of the picture was "This la
tho Life."
