To J. Hartley Manners: Make nn
, entirely new stage version of "The Old
Curiosity Shop," with the dual role of
Little Xell and the Marchioness for
Iiaurctte. Taylor.
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

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.

A "HASTY PUDDING" GRAD
Steward Balrd's Harvard Acting
Led to Stage ,
Steward Baird, now playing nt the
Shubert in "Little Simplicity." went to
Harvard with the intention of acquiring
that sort of knowledge that goes to
make n' cultured mnn. Incidentally, he
gave part of his attention to so-called
"outside activities," especially to dra
matic work. During his membership of
the Hasty Pudding Club,' long known
for' tits shows, he ifnllznl his latent
dramatic ability. ..
During a period of commercial life
that followed his graduation from Har
vard in 1003, Mr. Halrd coached ama
teur theatricals In Hoston and there
abouts, nttractiug the ntteution of Wlu
throp Ames, the former Hoston pro
ducer, who gave young Halrd his first
opportunity on the New York stage.
Mr. Halrd's first engagement ns lending
man wns with Huzel Dawn in "The
Debutante." Later he was leading
baritone In "Tonight's the Night,"
"Sybil," "The Rnmbler Rose" nnd the
original "Kiss Burglar" company.
Not Halted by the Law's Delays
James Hnottswood in the farce.
Parlor, Bedroom and Hath" nt the
Adeiphi, had n family that objected
to Ills developing histrionic ability.
James tried studying medicine for n
jear. He didn't like the smell of
chemicals and counting bones, so cs
sayed the law. About this time one
of his friends started a dramatic
school, and with nn Idea of learning
something of the actor's methods of
making arguments forceful, his father
j consented to his pursuing -a dramatic
course. A slock company wns playing
"Lord nnd Lady Algy" nnd needed
I some one to rarry the role of a juvenile1.
J Young Spottswood got the place. He
wns allowed to continue in the part.
Then one evening he suggested thnt
his father nnd mother attend the per
formance. Imagine their astonishment
when they beheld on the stage their
ardent student of the law. .fler that
parental piejudices were removed and
the joiil; man pursued his stage e.i
1 eer.
A Juvenile "Juvenile"
Chester Morris, in "Timi to the
