"This in not the case In New York, 4oweer, nor in many other cities. Take, for Instance, 'Three Faces Uast,' which was severely criticized by Its first-night audience. It required a week or more to convince New Yorkers that the p'lay really was a success. 'It Pays to Ad vertise' was wtiat Is called an 'instanta neous' success with Its first-night audi ence, while 'Twin Beds' was received with Indifference.

MARY PICKFORD. Capt. KW. Jr." 'tank? - A FARCEUR'S CODE John Arthur Outlines Recipe for Success "A maximum result with a minimum of effort" is John Arthur's receipt for the successful farceur. John Arthur plays an Important part In "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," at the Adelphl. The caliber of his work perhaps may be best judged by his performance In "Fair and Warmer" last season. Rarest of actors Is the skilled farceur the man who, without extravagant make-up or the use of the slapstick, can force a laugh from the 'leanest line or "put over" the most tenuous of situa tions. Arthur has little use for the slanstick. A certain duality of wit and satire should mark a good farce, he maintains, ana a greater consistency in the story than has been noticed In the average contemporary farce.
