TT WOULD not require n George
A Henry Iewes, n WUHnm Hnzlitt or
n' T.cMi Hunt .those old boys who
were nble readily to picture in words
the spell that an nctor cost upon them
very long to n find a reason for the pop
ularity of William Hodge. Few, if
any, persons possess the critlcnl acumen
of n Lewes or a Hnzlitt or a Hunt, but
many go to see this nctor, enjoy what
he has to offer and thlnK no more
about it.
To seek out the reason for any nctor s
popularity is ordinarily quite as fiuitas
tic n proceeding as to go in search of
the roots of Jack's Beanstalk or the
skeletons that old Bluebeard hid in his
cupboard. We like an nctor or we do
not. But to give a reason for our liking
or disliking is as difficult as to pin n
medal on n man's shadow or to capture
an eel in a tub of oil.
The phenomenon of Hodge, however,
is worth looking into. Ordinarily, n
play which has not had n long run
in the metropolis, mid has not been
touted as something miraculous, can't
draw n corporal's guard in the "be
nighted provinces." And ct "a
Hodge play" is able, year after year,
to draw big houses without enjoying
"n single New York indorsement."
Many theatregoers, even of high-brow
type, take it for granted that they
want to see William Hodge in any
piny which he may write, or patch up,
for sheer diversion. It is nil very
curious. Hodge would be the last per
son to claim that his plays are "su
preme dramatic achievements" or any
thing exactly under that category.
The only actor. vltbin memory, who
approached the Hodge phenomenon, was
the late Sol Smith Ktissell. New York
would not have this brilinnt comedian,
but the "provinces" adored him, and
rightly so. There is something about
William Hodge, not that he exactly
reminds one of Sol Smith Russell, but
he somehow casts the same spell of
goodfcllowship and genial enjoyment.
Sol Smith Russell inspired a cheery
outlook on life, and this is th? pre
dominating influence of William Hodge.
It may be that that is the reason for
his popularity.
IN "The Marquis do Priola," Mr.
Ditrichstein hns added one of the
most striking and effective characteriza
tions to the-long list of successes alrcadv
to" his credit. He has added an out
standing figure to his piqunnt depletion
of the erotic pianist in "The Concert,"
Ills exquisite portraiture of the lionized
Tiaritonc in "The Great Lover;" his
tpmnernmontal characterization of the
ftV erratic painter in "The Temperamental
Journey; his versatile delinention ot
the protean gallant in "The Phantom
Rival;" and his delicious impersona
tion of the philandering monarch in
"The King."

as a picture puzzle. There is an ncl- ,
ditional reason which is not nlwnjs
taken iu account in explaining the popu- ,
larity of mjstery plays or melodramas,'
no matter how palpably improbable ,
their premises muy be and how
inartistic they may be in construction
or characterization. .ieiournnins

and sensations. Audiences relish n
plot ns a relief from amorphous revues,

drama must move logically and be
lievablv to nn unexpected denouement.
via the route of suspense. It is rcujly .
a guessing game between the stage and
the audience.
ScvernI of the melodramatic successes
of the past few years arc vtill on the
road and are frequently revived in
stock. Mention might be made of one
of the most trustifying nnd artistic of
nil of them, "The 1.1th Chair," by ISaj -

This type of melodrama, of course, is
distinctly superior to the old bloou-nnu-

to rise to heights of histrionic expres

and authentic psychology.
Mr. Ditrichstein's art is now shown
to possess tlie power of variety in ad
dition to its already demonstrated dis
crimination and delicacy. His progress
along the highway of histrionism has
been marked by specific character
achievements. In technical brilliancy,
in delicious comedy, in humnn appeal
and lifelike depiction, this new portrai
ture is worthy of his finest accomplish --

"While the role portrayed by Mr.

ou a new theatre in New York soon,
and, nccording to present plans, it will
be ready for occupancy in the late fall.
He has also just completed negotiations
for the building of a theatre in Botton
nnd a new theatre in Lnicago. lie,
plans quick work on these houses, in
order to have them all completed before
the Christmas holidays. These new
theatres, together with tlie four tneaires
in Los Angeles nnd San Trancisco which
he controls, will give him a circuit and
allow increased production and booking
facilities.

Hodge, the Zoologist
Theatrical stars arc supposed to in
dulge in queer hobbles. William Hodge
was recently asked if he shared this
weakness. He invited the inquirer to
his country home. Arriving there, the
comedian remarked in his dry way:
"I've got one fad, and I'll give you
visible proof of it. It's frog taming."
He led the way to n smnll pool, where
water lilies grew. Squatting on one 61
the leaves was a l)uge bull frog.
"Here's one of my particular pals."
said Mr. Hodge, removing hii pipe long
enough to commune with the bull frog.
"This is Plato. I love these old fel
lows, with their wise airs nnd raucous
voices, nnd I only wish I knew what
they were saying to each other about
me."
George Mtddlcton, author of "The
Cnvc Girl," which comes to the Gnr
riclc, has n string of successful plays to
his credit. He Is the author, or co
author, of "Adam and Eve." 'Tolly
With n Past," which recently had a run
in Philadelphia; "Hit the, Trail HolH
day," "The House of n Thousand Can
dles," nnd "ThoCavnller."'
Mr. Mlddlcton is n graduate of Co
lumbia and embarked on his profes
sional career ns writer for the stage
shortly nftcr graduation. .Tulln Mar
lowe. Alia Nazimova nnd Margaret
Anglln were among the first promi
nent artists to select his plays as star
ring vehicles. In addition to his work
in the lighter field of the drama, this
talented craftsman of tho theatre is the
autlior of six volumes of published plays
of a psychological nature, which have
won him recognition throughout
Amcricu nnd Europe. In collegiate cir
cles these works hae been used as texts
for teaching dramatic construction.
A THEATRICAL REUNION
Lily Cahlll and Brandon Tynan In
Same Cast Again
Lily Cnhill and Brandon Tynan, who
nppear together with Leo Ditrichstein
in "The Marquis do Priola." arc far
from being strangers. Miss Cnhill,
nfter finisliing n season with Mr. Dit
richstein in "The Concert," went to
San Francisco where she created the
leading feminine role in Brnndon
Tynan's play "The Melody of Youth."
Two seasons Inter Miss Cnhill plajcil
w;lth Mr. Tjnnn during the run of
"Joseph and His Brethren.." Besides
being the nuthor of "The Melody of
Youth" Mr. Hjnan wrote "Robert
Emmet," nnd "The Passion Flowe,"
the latter being a vehicle used by
Nazimova in which Tynan appeared In
her support.
Leo Curnlllo plays the romantic Italian
man d,rc'hsmakcr in "Lombard!, Ltd.,"
the fun nnd fashion show which will
open Monday at the Ljric with such
realism that it Is generally supposed lie
is Italian by birth. As a matter of
fact, he is of Spanish descent. Mr.
Cnrrillo was born In San Francisco and
his nncestois were pioneers who bound
themselves up with the history of the
West.
In "The Bread Line." the comedy he
has in reserve, the. hero is nn Italian
sculptor, an artist of the romantic type,
like Lomhnrdl. Buthc is in no hurry to
part with the role of the fashionable
yet entertnlnipg designer of hobble skirts
nnd rainbow gowns.
Mr. Cnrrillo whose name, by the
way, Is pronounced Carrlljo, after the
Spanish fashion occupies n unique po
sition. His temperament shows his
strain of Lntin blood, nnd with this
qualification he combine? American en
thusiasm -and enterprise.
DATES TO "FLORADORA"
Phil Ryley, of "Little Simplicity,"
Long a Drawing Comedian
Philadelphians whose memory goes
hnck to "Floradorn," remember Phil
Ryley who pncd the part of the Pro
fessor. Mr. Ryley now is nt the Shubert
as the dancing waiter, in "Little Sim
plicity." He is a brother of Tom Ryley,
producer of "Florndora," "The Belle
of Mayfair," nnd "The Queen of the
Moulin Rogue." In thclatter production
Phil Ryley is a pedestrian and makex
it n point to walk twelve miles n day
so as to keep in trim or his dancing.
He likes to write sketches and is nn
autograph collector of note. At one
dinner nt the Lamba Chib he had 500
signatures attached to his menu cni;d
nnd many of them were of the most
noted people in the theatrical world.

There is no returning."
Allen J. Holuhar is authority for the
foregoing, and Holubar played "hero
racy, the sure and steady march of
progressiva political equality and re
legation to obscurity of the degeneracy
of thought and action propounded and
exercised by the parasites of a decadent
social system.
When this scathing 'exposition was
produced at the Comedie rrnncaise,
with tho great Le Iiargy plajing the
profligate Marnuis, Paris fairly gasped
.at the audacity of Lavedan In having
written this play; but when it was
hinted that n member of the Hohen
zollcru family was utilized as the pro
totype for the title chaructcr, the
French capital flocked for months to
the Illustrious playhouse to witness this
truly amazing presentation.

These are the Shubert and the Adelphi.
Going back another decade we find two
additions, tho Forrest and the Lyric,
nnd in the decade before that the Gar
rick. Of course this reckoning does
not tnke into nccount Ilammcrstein's
house, which had n specialized use, nor
the many handsome theatres, large and
small, devoted to motion pictures nnd
n vnmlpville. such as Keith's, the
stage with Savage's companies. He
starred in "Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea." The subject arose
when Holubar was asked why he de
serted the stage and Jcading screen
roles for directorial work. Holubar's
production, "The'Heart of Humanity,"
will be shown at the Palace week of
April 2S.

From Jazz to Opera
12 vn Shirley, whose "Songs of the
Moment" is a headlincr. nt the Nixon
Grand next week, is probably the
youngest prima donna on the stage.
Miss Shirley, still in her teens, is a
finished vocalist. Miss Shirley's num
bers extend from rag and jazz to grand
opera. She will be assisted by Ross
Gorman's Versatile Musical Boys nnd
by Al Roth, jazz dancer. Her songs are
new nnd exclusive and her associate
performers artists In their lines. Al
Roth is one of the cleverest exponents
of jazz daneing in vaudeville.
Theatrical producers are complaining
about a shortness of talent for their
productions. Particularly is this so
among those who produce musical
comedies, yet Gus Kdwards billed at
Keith's each yenr gives to vaudeville a
sterling production. Edwards manages
to find young people of promise who
need only n guiding hand to start them
on the right road. Such artists as
Elsie Janis, Joan Sawyer, Ethel Kelly
and such musical comedy stars as
Lillian Lorraine, Lillian Bordman,
Daisy Leon and Lillian Walker, the
latter a popular motion picture star,
began their careers with Edwards.
This season Edwards is presenting
another elaborate offering, "A 1010
Welcome Home Song Revue." He has
written all the music and staged the
production. His company includes some
new discoveries.
Hodge Writing New Play
William Hodge, who. enjoys the
emoluments of an author as well as the
profits of his vocation as an nctor. is
now devoting his time to the writing of
a Aimcdy in which he will return next
season.
