THE "three-second room" nt the Shubert Theatre .- the name given . nls dressing room by Walter C'atlett. " "I miilie the stage in three seconds from this room nfter the eallbo lets his , little yell," said Catlett. "and it's hard on the shoes the way 1 have to skip nnd slide to make it." , "Hard?" commented one of the duno- Jng Cameron sisters, scornfully to the J'laygocr. "Why jou don't know what being hard on shoes !! Why we girl ' wear out three pairs of "dippers a week apiece doing our little bit for the merriment of nation". Hut luckily for us the managers pay for our danc ing shoeo. That's in our rontrncti. When jou figure the salaries dancers ,.nrp paid and the expense for slippers t thut lias to be borne by the manage ment, the dancing acts are some of the most expensive on the stage." Just then the callboy called and Cat lett gne his three slides and n skip and wore out about one nnd one-eighth rents' worth of leather, at which the Cameron sisters again scornfullj sniffed. MAIMORIU McCLlNTOCK. of the "Flo-Flo" company. gae a real ' heart-to-heart talk about the "other side" of stage life to the women writ ers in their clubrooms at the Art Al liance last Sunday night. Miss Me Clintock, in the musical cmnedy, is made up to look about thirty jears of ige, but she's really only twentj and as pretty ,ns can be. She told how she had "made" the stage, and in answer to questions gave a piciure of the family life of a company that was truly rare. Miss McClintock was a member of the Hen Greet players before our entry into the war. She is also a talented harpist and has accompanied Fritz Krcislcr on several occasion. The women writers entertained Miss IcClintock at luncheon at the Curtis Building on Tuesday. WAITEIt HAMl'DEX, whose Ham let will be presented nt a third spe 1'cinl matinee at the Adeiphi Wednesday, teok n few minutes from Shakespeare to 'express to the Playgoer his belief that) ' the war has changed the mental outlook I of the American people and that the' time is ripe for a renaissance in the , theatre. ' "Watoh the world of thought in the I theatre," he said, "for it is beginning to leflect the thoughtfulness of a great nation charged with Infinite responsi- -,-' J'ifios in one of the most important Ually 3 in world history," he said. of tb'atch the plays of materialism dls ppcar and the plays of the imagination appear. "The nation has been keeping a vigil with death. It is open-eyed and sensi tive. "Men, women, rhildreu who neer have thought or imagined or meditnted Apon universal things have been" moved out of themselves nnd made to retteot upon the great movements of history now in the making. ,Wc shall feel this fn. the theatre. There is no plajwright who meets this spiritual demand as com pletely ns Shakespeare. So I believe that Shakespeare will be revived more often and more successfully : that the great plajs will be gien increasingly: that we arc 'going back to' Shake speare." NORA HAYES is making a collection of fans. Every time she gets a new gown she goes on a still hunt to 'find a fan to match it. She has nearly 100 fans in her collection now. Statistics are not given of her ward robe trunks. ITrlTH the advent of cheap electric VV l now-er nnd extended city mains, the old-fashioned kitchen pump, uear io inc heart of every group who has iivedin the country, is in danger of extinction and thereby hangs a tale of an ob stacle that threatened to delay the premiere of "Turn to the Right." For the first act the scene is the kitchen of the IJascom homestead. Like nil such kitchens, it has a pump and n cast iron sink. j A stickler for realism. Winchell .-Viulth hunted far and wide for nn old 'fashioned red tablecloth, a shaded oil ' lamp of the same vintage, u wooden bucket for the jam and found them. nut the pump was not so easy. Finally jl want nd was employed. It brought :'"" a rush of bargain-day proportions and within n half hour Mr. Smith had just 'vhat lie was looking for. A farmer who had journejed over from Connec ticut, enrrjing unUer his arm a pump that lie had discarded when he installed it gasoline pumping plant on his dairy farm (sh!), pocketed a bill and walked off with n high regard for "show folks." Mr. Smith's selection has behaved ad mirably during the long period that it has been in use. It gurgles at each per formance and sends a gush of real water Into the Relascoesque sink.
