XJ"ih-i fc s-&fz - Mtr!&rr APOLOOISTS for miniature playhouses liave for several years labored dili gently to Inspire In the American public a tsste for "Intimate drama" presented nmld tympathctlc surroundings. Llttlo theatre experiments hovo sprouted throughout the larrtl, New York, Chicago, tloston nnd other large cities have had their apostles of the cause. Arguments ngalnst the "commercialism" of the full-Blzcd play house have been genennisly advanced. Play patrons have been told that business men were distinctly out of place lis purveyors of stage art, that under prevailing booking systems, dominated by theatrical "com bines," worthy dramatic products, Ameri can, English or Continental, were deprived of a fair chance for existence. Amusement houses, small nnd Inexpen sively run, were championed as Instrument of salvation. Failure to survive a rather common occurrence was usually ascribed to bad Judgment In the choice of plays or Incompetent interpretation. Faith In the little theatre principle withstood many hard knocks. "Give us a good drama, well acted," declared In effect the little groups of willful art levers, and the Intimate play house will Justify Itself triumphantly. All we want Is a fair opportunity." Such n chance to prove the potency of Its tppeal Is now grnntcd to Philadelphia's Little Theatre. The house has had a checkered career. After opening some four years ago with a crude trllle, entitled "The Adventures of Chlorn," the De I.nncey street stage has offered some astonishing produc tions. Amateur noting has played havoc with scxerol excellent pieces. Ill-trained mo- IV fesslonnl stock companies have dono like wise. The craze lor the exotic drama brought forward mad llusslan and German playlets, whoso sole claim to distinction was that Philadelphia footlights had not here tofore exposed their freakish gloomy nnd gloomy freaks. Bernard Shaw's shallow little piece "Over ruled" waH fairly well done, but his exceed ingly artificial "Misalliance" Buffered a blurred and muddy Interpretation Ibsen's "Ghosts" was hysterically acted by Hilda Englund, Robert Whlttlcr nnd their badly directed associates. "A Doll's House" was distressingly Jerry-built. Three times Indeed the bright star of art did rise at tho Llttlo Theatro only to be extinguished by the "fell clutch of clrcum ftance " "Tho Yellow Jncket" visited the playhouso too early In tho season, Annlo Russell nnd her admirable, company too late In the theatrical year. D. Iden Payne's well selected stock company failed to get a fair Btart, with some praiseworthy pro ductions. Including notably Stanley Hough ton's powerful "Hlndle 'Wakes." BUT none of theso attempts to Justify the Little Theatre's existence had quite the distinction of the endeavor now being made by Margaret Anglln in "Lonely Soldiers " It Is Invidious to compare this artist with Annlo Ilussell. Both are richly lifted and their spheres of histrionic action Tildcly differ Put that the magnetism of Miss Anglin's name Is scarcely second to that of any feminine performer now before the public Is not disputable If she cannot vitalize the Little Theatre Its usefulness ns l public institution Is seriously to be ques tioned Her present vehicle Is brilliantly written and delightfully acted Its delicacy Is precisely suited to a small auditorium wjK il i iiiiuuuifmiuua luaiiy num ti inline Is Theatre for "Intimate" nlavs now Is thn time to register approval. Generous patron- Is Be Miss Anglin's capital offering would insure a repertory season oy a sterling anu Masoned actress-manager. Attendance with held will direct one of the brightest stars of our stage Into other orbits. The test of tho Little Theatre is nt hand. I T MAY be explained In passing that Miss Anglin's tenancy of the house does not, however, bespeak special sponsorship MARGARET MATZENAUER Philadelphia Orchestra soloist. LAUDER DONS "LIGHT BRIGADIER'S" SHAKO Souvenir of Balaklava Charge Now Owned and Worn by Scotch Comedian The big fur shnko, or Scotch bonnet, that Harry Lauder, who comes to the Academy on Tuesday, wears' for ono of his character songs, has an Interesting history. It was Presented to him by Private Alexander Row, who Is ono of the survivors of the fampus "charge of the light brigade" at Bnkalava. Prlvato Dow, who is now past eighty years, of age, was ono of tho "thin red line" of fighters who were distinguished for their bravery. Tho only mark that made their Uniforms different from the other red coated soldiers was the small blue buckle that adorned their bonnets. The bonnet Lauder wears has tho buckle still attached nd Is one of the most cherished of his pos sessions. The rest ot his military costumes were Presented him by the First Battalion of the Argyle nnd Sutherland Hlgh'anders, now known In the war as "Lauder's Own" (In which regiment his son John met his death t the front), and constitute tMelr full dress, regimentals all except the small dagger, or "akeen dhu," which he wears Ir. his right stocking. Tnls little weapon was the gift of Pipe Major MacKny, of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, and ttas obtained by him on the battlefield of Jagersfonteln during the Boer War lit South Africa. It was found clasped In the hand of an officer of the "Black Watch," of the Forty-second Highlanders, who evidently had used It well In defense of hla life In a hand-to-hand conflict with some Boer sol. dier. Alone in Film Land Manager William Goldenberg, of the Vic toria, reports that the Liberty Loan In Thursday's parade had Its humoioua aide as well as )ts serious aspects. The marchers tore avil passing the theatre when a Woman came out from the auditorium to the box office and wanted her monvv r. funded. "Vnon Irjqulry as to the reason for w request feh? said that she was afraid to 4 .there l$w, ' BOTH SIDES the CURTAIN Lm RtUre. ,n'hue. Notwithstanding booking systems that are In some ways ast Improvements over the old chaotlo routings of stageland. Interesting nttrrto t ons are still occasionally homeless. The cs?. f Lonel' Soldiers" at ono of our centrally located playhouses Is not arguable nut such n theatre for tho time Miss Ang lln had allotted to this city was not avail able. The long runs now In voguo hero nat urally reduce the number of attractions each season. Startling ns It may seem to pullback' citizens, Philadelphia actual ly needs more first-class playhouses In her theatre district. The strain will bo up preclabfy relieved when the rebuilt Chestnut Htreet Opera House and the new Khubcrt aro opened to nmusement patrons. But tho former thentro will not be ready before ttu end of November and the latter for several months afterward. Miss Anglln could not wait upon building operations, moro than ordinarily handicapped because of tho war One must therefore thank the Llttlo Then. tre for saving the situation. Tho virtues ot "Lonely Soldiers" nro ol a kind that only whets tho appetite to see Its chief performer in a variety of roles. A skillful revamping of the eternal "Dl vorcons" theme, cleverly ndaptrd to war times, tho pleco sparkles nnd snaps with crisp dialogue, but It Is extremely light, extremely frag.lc The tax ori Miss Ang lin's abilities Is thus comparatively small. No moro delicious Betty Tarradlne than hers, no more engaging a Captain Itymlll than Edward L"mcr)'s, could reasonably be des'red. But the scope of the talented star's abil ities Is ono of the loftiest on tho American stnge. Attestation of this Is easily found In recollection of her lluth Jordan In "Tho Great Divide." In her Mrs. Dane In Henry Arthur Jones's stirring drama. Ucports of her eloquence, passion and poetry In tho Shaltcopoarcan plays and In tho classic Greek dramas are substantially verified. Her contribution to "Lonely Soldiers" re eals polished, fluent technique, but the depths of nn artistic endowment, exquisite ly attuned to the supreme beauties of the theatre, aro suggested only- by Indirection Philadelphia has had far too llttlo of Margaret Anglln In recent ycdrs. To tho playgoer who has not forgotten how charm ing drawing-room comedy can bo. Miss F Tennyson Jesse and II. M. Harwood's llttlo piece may bo unreservedly recommendou Tho exhibit, however, far from satisfies the art lover's enthusiasm for a vivid histrionic genius. r T SHOULD be stated that Miss Anglln herself regards tho piny merely ns a feature of a varied repertory which Bhe Is eager to build up Her ambitions nro suitably In keeping with n nervous, dy namic, artistic temperament, alert to in vade tho noblest fields of enterprise "These are rather perilous times for the stage," she told the writer ono day this week, "and yet I believe that some of tho highest forms of art have a chance" for exlstcnco In spite of the wnr. This Is particularly truo of tho Greek dramas and of Shakespeare. "I exploited the former at the University of California's lovely Hellenic open-air theatre during tho summer of 191G. A visit to the Berkeley Institution Involving a long ferry trtp, a trolley ride and a steep walk up a formidable hill, exacts considerable hardships of pleasure-loving San Francis cans, and yet they poured forth by the thousands to behold tho moving talo of 'Antigone' enacted beneath the cloudless California sky. "This season, when I reach New York, I am going to try the Greek plays Indoors at Carnegie Hall. I hope to do tho 'Elec tr.V of Sophocles to my mind a far better play than Hurlpldes's work on tho tame theme, which Gilbert Murray has popular izedand the 'Medea' of I urlpldes. "My first endeavor will be to convey the universality and Intenso humanity of theso masterpieces. Absolute historical accuracy of presentation Is of courso rendered Im possible by modern taste and theatrical standards. It would be foolish now to at tempt to act these plays with masks as the old Hellenes did. But their eternal spirit of beauty can, I feel Bure, be pre served even In tho face of acknowledged and unavoidable anachronisms. ' Undoubtedly Greek musical expression differed greatly from ours of this day. Nevertheless, Walter Damrosch has writ ten Incidental scores for the classic dramas which emphasize their poetic atmosphere and Inextinguishable appeal, desplto the employment of modern orchestral methods. I sha.ll use his admirable compositions when I present 'Elcctra' and 'Medea.' "My other bills of tho year will seek to express my views on stage taste In wartime Perhaps my Judgment Is faulty, but I believe that modern theatrical ve hicles Just now must cither be highly colored dramatically In a word, exciting or else so light that they will seem a icllef from tho strain of the moat tre mendous ordeal In history. 'Lonely Sol d ers,' of course, comes In tho thistle down category. I am not yet nt liberty to divulge what my moro serious dramatic offerings will be, but I can say that If present plans go through ono of them should stir the passion for freedom nnd human rights on which civilization Is now staking Its existence." "W HAT about Shakespeare? queried the Interviewer. "Well, of course." smiled Miss Anglln. "I would rather pre sent his omedles than anything else. Per haps I i-hall return next spring with a Shakcspeaiean repetory consisting of 'As You Like it,' The Taming of the Shrew' nnh Twelfth Night.' which I have acted In many parts of the world, but, oddly enough, never In your city. .,,. "I am aware that bo far as tho Bard Is concerned this Is a conventional list. But tho difficulty of submitting certain elo quent Shakespearean comedies tho trage dies are more 'standarlzed' that may be read with the deepest Interest at home In one's library Is greater than Is often realized Some pieces, such, for Instance, as 'Airs Well That Ends Well,' Trollus and Crcsslfia' nnd 'Pericles,' contain mng. nlflcent scenes, but their workmanship Is uneven and the frankness of some of their Incidents would shock even the most sophisticated modern audience. "It has been a favorite dream of mine to offer some day a Berles of the best epi sodes from these comedies, Unking them tocether with a 'chorus.' explanatory of tho action leading up to each particular excerut. In that way Borne of the finest passages In dramatlo literature could be reintroduced to playgoers." "Among comparatively obscure master metes" pursued the Interviewer, "what do vou think of that tremendous psychological drama. 'Measure for Measure' T" I think very highly of It, indeed!" ex claimed the actress. "But how can an intelligent, Inoffensive version of the play ha made T They tell me Modjeska used to nortray Isabella. It's hard to Tealize what must have happened to the many out pnoken passages that still seem to me un avoldabl In order to develop the full pow erful dramatic significance of the Ironic Iv.niedv Olve me a suitable acting version ond I'll concentrate all my efforts on lm mortal I.abella."

AZTEC FILM EXACTS 'FUSS AND FEATHERS' But Accurate Plumage Garments for New Farrar Movie Are Eventually Secured When tho Aztecs In tho time of Monte zuma decided that woen feather cloaks woro to bo the sign of tho nobility, they did not count tho trouble they wero to cause future generations' attempts to re produce the early days of North America on tho never-fading film. Geraldlne Farrar, who portrayed the Maid of Franco In "Joan the Woman," was se lected by Cecil Do Mlllo to visualize Tezca. Montezuma's daughter, who for love sold her city to tho conquering Spanlaids under Cortes. It Is upon this dramatic eplsodo that Jeanlo M icl'hcrson's story for the Art craft spectacle, "The Woman God Forgot," which will be the big featuro nt the Stanley Theatro all next week, was founded. For three months before the nctu.il filming of tho picture Director Do Millo's research department was nt work In lllirirles and museums, and een Mexico Itself was In nded, In order to secure photographs of the ruins of ancient Aztec palaces. Kxact reproductions of tho Aztec city, the famous throno room bf Montezuma and a replica of the fnmous pyramid of Tco calll, nearly 200 feet In height, were erected nnd several thousand pertons employed In tho scenes filmed. These "actors" wero mostly n itlve Aztecs of tho lower classes, and their costumes were easily supplied. It was when the management came to tho dres-s of the 250 nobles and tho garments of Montezuma, hla daughter, and his Imme. dlate court that the costume department j,vns momentarily stumped. Drawings compiled oy mo nrcneoiogisis nnd historians demanded that cloaks, head dresses and ee curtnlns, rugs and Fcrcerts be of woven feathers. Eight feathered robes wero required for Montezuma, six for Gautemoc, his favorite; four feathered AZTECS AND h" !! i ii i imiiili ii n ii i "- TTTmK trl7T i The above scene from the spectacular drama of old Mexico, "The Woman God Forjrot," in which Geraldine Farrar will be featurod next week at the Stanley, interestingly foreshadows the effectiveness and appeal of this, now motion picture illustrative of the atirrlng days of Montezuma and IJernando Corte?. loP1 . p "Magda," with Clara Kimball Young (above) will be the feature film of the Victoria's bill. "Thou Shalt Not Steal," exploiting Virginia Pearson (below) will be on the Nixon's program. "Like We Don't Like It" VEJE DON'T" and "between you n and I" Are common enough on our stage. Their lapses, though none can deny, Arc thickly encrusted tcith age. But plays that are current in town Their names ice benignly suppress IT'oiiW cause Lindlcy Murray to Jroun In even moro poignant distress. Their lapses in grammar arc e'en Pronounced as if uholly correct, And these arc such sins as tve mean And types of the phrases that vexed: "Ho acted like he was crazy"; "He chuckled like he teas glad"; "He ambled like he uas lazy"; "He grumbled like he uas mad." gowns were required for tho Aztec Em peror nnd six for his daughter. A hundred and twenty feathered cloaks for tho nobles and tho court two hundred feathered shields, nnd four hundred feath ered spears and other war Implements, were ns nonchalantly ordered by the direc tor ns If tho feathers wero the easiest thlngo In tho world to obtain. But whero to get tho feathers? Scouts wero sent out to all chicken farms nnd arrangements mado to secure the plumage of tho dressed chickens. Feathers are not so heavy, but It was estimated that at least 400 pounds of cleaned and dyed feathers would be re quired to make the fabric for tho Inves titure. For tho head dresses, pheasant wings and mora elubora.o plumages wero used. An cxtenslvo search "was made through every wholesale millinery and feather supply lioubo on the coast. As certain feithers aro no longer imported Into the United States, this was no easy task, but success waB final ly achieved and the huge workroom of the CONQUISTADORES IN PLAYTHINGS We wouldn't object if such talk Were uttered by characters who In manner, in garb and in walk. Endeavored to render moro true A picture of tenderloin ways, Of classes submerged and untaught. Reality then would win praise, Aspersions would come unto naught; Hut those in "society" roles Fall into such errors with ease. Their grammar is riddled icith holes; Their English is weak at the knees. "He acted like he teas crazy" Belong to the slapstick and "jazz." Oh, actors linguisticly lazy, Why banish the "if" and the "as"? H. T. C. coitumo department wai filled with workers Two eight-hour shifts of forty people each did nothing but pasto and work out tho feathered designs, and after tho feathers had been cleaned nnd dyed In the desired colors, a corps of ten Jewelers wero bet to work making tho breast plates, crowns, bracelets and other Jeweled ornaments to bo used by tho nobility. One of tho cloaks worn by Raymond Hatton as the Emperor weighs nearly fifty pounds and Is of yellow and bluo feathers woven Into tho design. The headdress li also of this same combination of colors, nnd even tho shield at the back of tho throne Is of the same material. Theodore Kosloff. tho Itusslan dancer, who plays tho tola of Guatemoc. who weds Geraldino Farrar, Montezuma's daughter, wore a great long clonk entirely of long whlto feathers. AH of Miss Farrar's head dresses were creations betraying astonish ing millinery skill. In addition to the feathered costumes. Miss Farrar woro a coat mado from nlno leopard skins.

For more than seven months Mr. Holmes has sailed the waters of the greatest ocean In search ot new realms to conquer with his rapid fire cameras. No one can quite realize the significance of the word "militant" without stopping: to consider that Mr. Holmes's voyaging for thousands of miles was done on ships which showed no lights at night, which salle, secret and zigzag courses, which dodff4 ' suspicious-looking strange craft and which were watched over every moment by units, of the British and Japanese navies, More over, many of the countries he visited in his search for something new had sent their fighting men "to the front" without stint Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania and the FIJI Islands while from our own Alaska and Britain's far Northwest thou sands flocked to Join their respective colors.
