THE PLAYGOER'S
WEEKLY TALK
OoserrarioMi on Pay and
Photoplays of Interest
to Philadclphians

kNIiY a fortnight ago It was tlie sad
' duty of theatrical commentators to
clironlclo tho deaths of Sir Charles
AVyndham, John Mason and Slielle
Hull. This week lias seen the passing
of Nat C. Goodn In. one of tho most pol
ished, resourceful and sjmpathetlc
comedians, that America, lias contributed
to the stage; and Krmete Noelll, the
Italian tragedian, upon whom. In the
opinion of many critics, fell the mantle
of BahlnL For many jcars Mr. Good
win met Phlladelphlan faor In his
starring ventures, and his Illness and i
death preented his appearance here
this week In 'Why Marry?" Signer
Novelll Mas less well known here, but
Is well remembered by those whose
memories date back a decade, as he ap
peared here In two engagements of
Shakespearean and Goldonl repertorj.
It. I V.
THKRH has been much speculation as I
to the meaning of the title of the (
play, "The Better 'OIp," at the Bioad, j
but It Is made clear by William Allen
White In his recentlj published book,
"The Martlat Adentures of Henry and
Me." Mr. White saw this play with
music at the Oxford Theatre In London,
where It has been running for nearly
two j ears, and here Is how he describes
If
" 'The Better 'Ole,' a farce comedy
with musical skits In It staged entirely
at the front, could be put on In any
American town and the fun would raise
"A soldier squats shuerlng In a shell
hole, while the bombs are crashing over
htm and dirt threatens to bury him
A comrade looks in and to his captious
remarkw the squatting soldier answers
'If you knows of a better 'ole, go to It
"Three men are seated on a box
during a terrific bombardment. Trees
are falling, buildings crumbling, the
landscape heaving, and Bert sas 'Alf,
we'll miss this old war when It's over'
"As the shells strike nearer
and '
nearer and a great crater J awns at
their feet, they crawl Into It, are all but
hurled alive by the dirt from another
hell, and Bert exclaims, 'Say, Alf, scate
me I got the 'lccoughs!' And so It
goes for a whole evening."
So 'ere's
horlglnated !
W "The Better 01e"
GRANT MITCHELL, star of V
Tallor-Made Man" at the Garrlck,
s a great favorite with his fellow play
ers. Now, such a distinction Is generally
bestowed for two reasons a man Is ex
pert at his work and modest about It.
Consider these characteristics, divulged
to the plavgoer thn other night.
Here Is a man who really doesn't
like to talk about himself.
Who believes the part and the play,
not his acting, have made "A Tallor
Made Man" successful.
Who admits he was a flat failure at
newspaper work, which he first at
tempted when he left college.
Who again admits he was a flatter
failure at the law, which he practiced
for three years In Ohio, his native State
Who, after having served In the
Spanish-American War, went on the
stage Just for the love of the theatre,
convinced he "would never set the
theatrical world afire "
It actors hate conceit In other, ac
tors. Mr. Mitchell ought to be well
,, beloved In every greenroom.
RECORDS show that Lew Fields, who
Is starring at the Ljrlo In "Friendly
Knemles," appeared here only once be
fore In a dramatic production. That
event occurred several years ago. when
the popular comedian starred In a pro
fusely spiced farce called "The High
Cost of Lovlns."
"I need hardly say that I much pre
fer 'Friendly Enemies, " remarked Mr
Fields the other day. "Nevertheless, the
role of Pfelfer, which I take In this new
comedy, Is much more difficult to play
than an thing I ever attempted before.
It requires finer comedy and more deli
cate shadings. I can't afford to let my
audience Blip away for a minute. If
they don't realize that I am leally
warm-hearted human being,
though I
suffering temporarily from Teutonic I
delusion, then something Is wrong. But I
I feel that they do understand, and so
when the delusion wears away, Pfelfer's
new-born Americanism becomes all the
more plausible and likable."
The records here, of course, fall to
show that Fields had no end of experi
ence in comedy drama, generally In
tabloid form, when he and Joe "VTeber
were running their famous music hall
In Xew Tork and taking the Weber
Fleldlan variety shows on the road.
. "" " .
Mr. Field's plunge Into drama Is (
nunue iiiusiu, uui, ui tuurar, xioi ue-
prlved of dialect.
SOME months ago there was a private
demonstration of Prlzma pictures
given In Camden. At that time It was
predicted that they would not remain
very long In the novelty class', but
would be found soon upon the screens
of theatres throughout the country as
,nv u, iuous,.,,,. ..miiuuiicciiiciiv.
In now made that the are to be shown
next week at the Stanley and Arcadia
Theatres.
There Is a big field for color motion
photography. I nless companies promot
ing such processes are organized for the
sole purpose of selling stock, It Is pos
sible that they may give the Industry!
jua. i. io cui, ui uraiiiN cu inviuin ...w.i
Is lacking at the present time. Many
companies have been formed for the
purpose of making colored photography
In motion, but none of them has at
tained the success required for a perma
nent place In the movie world.
In explaining the process the Prlzma
Company announces It uses four colors
made up of two complementary colors
The first pair Is composed of red and
green-blue and the second of yellow and
blue. Photographically, these four com
binations cover the entire range of
visible colors. A color wheel similar to
one used when the pictures are taken Is
attached to the projection machine when
the scenes are being shown, and thus
the same colors are brought out upon
the screen. Kext In order will be the
perfection of synchronized pictures and
iT 'words, and It Is rumored that the
process Is complete at one of the Pacific
coast laboratories.
The movies
are moving to new
marvels.
