William Hodge Comments
Philadelphia Audience
William Hodge, who comes lo th
Chestnut Street Opera House Monday,
In "A Cure for Curables," was In thin
city yettcrday superintending for his
stay here during the run. y
"Philadelphia In a faorlte of mine,"
said the actor, "and It always In a pleas
ure to return here, t have had a num-'
ber of first nights In this city and the
thing which has always Impretstd itself
on my mind Is the fact that the approval
or disapproval of first-night audience
here is almost Invariably nn Indication
of the fato of a play.
. "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. Yet the former Is
now no more, while 'Twin Beds' con
tinues to pack houses. So. you can
neer tell from a first-night verdict
what the fate of a play Is going to be."

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.
