N ' N ClfsTOl BUCKSTONE ON TRAVELERS Gnrrick Plnycr OITcra Some . Shrewd Observations "As all actors should he, I am always Interested In studying character," says Itowlnnd Duckstone, who portrays Pom mcroy, the valet In "A Tallor-Mado Mfin, now at the Uarrlck. ' Mr. .Uuckstone Is an actor1 who has plowed many parts, not only In this country, but In England, his birth place. Ho has traveled nil over Amer ica and Europe In his forty years as n Player, und therefore should be In n. position to know whereof he speaks, for in traveling wo all, sooner or later, bare our true dispositions." .Here nro a few of Mr. Buckstone'a observations "The man who has never knon any thing belter than a wooden-bottomed chair Is the one who makes the loudest 'stjuawk' over an uncomfortable seat In the day cfcacli. "The woman who finds the most fault when she Is compelled to share a seat Is the one who spreads her hand bag gage and wraps over two or three, seals when she has the opportunity. "The man who kicks most If the train Is late on Its schedule Is the man who loafs leisurely through a four-hour working' uay. "Trainmen will tell-you that the hard est passengers to please are those who travel Infrequently." AN ORPHEUM FAVORITE Louite Randolph Won Applause in Old "Stock"' Louise Randolph, -like most of the other members of tho "Why Marry?-' organization now appearing at tho Adel phl Theatre, has hart her own com panies, but she has achieved something unique tho others of the company can not uohbi. ora nau ner own inentre, " 'v'"""". ,,' 7 ,,., win,, being lessee and manager of one of is a clever entertainer in auueuuc, aire, fornome time, where she appeared in several productions.

This train ing stood her Irfgood stead, for several times her faculty for cralck study has enabled Mies Ilandolph to save perform ances, once when 'Nanette Comstoclt was taken III In Chicago during the run of "Lover's Land." SHIPMAN SHORT ONTHEORY But "Friendly Enemies" PUywrlgbf Was Early Long on Practice About a ilnif n vears ago Samuel SMp man was an undergraduate in Columbia University, taklnir. among Tancourses, the one on the drama under Brander Mathews. At the end oflhe term his rating In this branch of knowledge was D caual to about 60 or 70 per cent and considered verv low. The next day Mr. Shlpman called upon Professor Mathews, with a contract, ...i . .a tii., tvn fnr tne pro ,iiiiirti nf hta tB7 version of ine Kreutzer Sonata." "I may be poor in thorv. nrnfensor." he said, but 1 ve cot the. nrActlce." Thnt I. trnor nf Hhlnman today than It was a dozen years ago. hatever one may think of his theories of dramatic writing, one must certainly respect the practice of a playwright whoso weekly royalties are now said to amount to $3000.
