ing But the Truth."
TX "THREE WISE FOOLS" there is
J- a massivo stago set representing an
old house in Washington square. Audi
ences have commented on the "livable
ness" of the set and the obvious care
to EivG u life-picture of the interior of
an aristocratic home in this famous part
of old New York.
Formerly Washington square was tht
exclusive home of the old Knickerbocker
families. There they were born, mar
ried and died without ever having known
an one who lived above Ninth street
or below Fourth. Nowadajs. however.
the atmosphere has changed in that part
of town. Among the few conservative

urt ui ""'"(, "-"""."' "" crept a new element, transform!

whom there are so inanv in our midst
nnd the financial reward that follows a
real success is large enough to be at
tractive even to persons already well
supplied with worldly dro-. There is
probablv no one in thp Fnited States

what light comedy is and should bf than
forming the
once nristocratic quarter into a locality
that is to New York what the Latin
Quarter is to Paris. There in the sacro
sanct spots once devoted to mannered

to dwell the most radical of all Bohe

"William Collier. Although lie is best j 0f their birthplace look on with horror,
Kuown as a tueaincai star, -ur. tun uany expecting tup eua of the world.
is also a playwright, lie Known tlie j0l,n Golden, the producer, visited
Kame, then-tore, iroiu me coming uuu
going angles.
He is the author of man'- of tlio p'avs
in which he has appeared. In other
tuccesses he has col'aborateil with the
author and it is pretty well known that
even when the author got the credit for
writing a play for Mr. Collier the lat
ter has pcrsonall.v put in much of the
laugh material. Mr. Collier is not -elfish
with his knowledge. In order that
those who arc planning to bcome
famous via the playwright route may
have the' benpfit of his many ears of
experience, Mr. Collier, who ran up to
town the other day from the shore,
whence he will bring his new couiedj ,
"TW Hottentot." next Monday for
Philadelphia's delectation, outlined some
of the most important principles -of
comedy writing for the Playgoer who
hasn't the slightest intention of adding
to his professional cares by writing a
comedy, even a light one. though many
of his readers arc writing plays or
planning to write them. Doubtless if
the fourteenth decennial census, now in
process of card indexing nnd pigeon
holing us, nsked for each individual's
secret aspiration, the record would go
cither to the budding playwrights or the
prospective movie writers. What Mr.
Collier said was informing to the Play
goer, who pases ou all of it that lin
gered in memorv to his friends, who
may find it practical and educational.
"If you would write for the theatre
of that gieat multitude which seeks re
laxation from overwork or boredom, go
out into the highways and the bjwa.vs
nnd observe life as it really is," Mr. Col
lier said. "Study fishermen and bankers, i
nursemaids and society women, street
cleaners and chauffeurs. Mako a close ,
study of children, young girls, women of
nil stations and grandmothers. Study
those who are down and out, study tho '
working people as well as the idle rich. I
All real good plays are the direct result '
of observation. Every line in 'The Hot
tentot' that wins a laugh is the result
of observation of some human being.
"Then, don't forget that every play
must havfcthe love element, the eternal
feminine. The average person who leads ,
n routine life is not a comedy character,
unless he or she has somo peculiarity
that makes the individual stand our, ,
bome little habit or mannerism, some
eccentricity of speech or gesture. Even
these must bo slightly exaggerated, for j
the 6tago cannot wait too long for the !
unfolding of a character. I
"A half doipn or more individuals,
each a distiuct tvpe. must be created and ;
fixed for the audienep, and their careers
worked out in the space of two hours.
The successful plajwright must touch
only the high lights of each character,
giving the spectators the self-Fatisfac !
tion of filling in the detuils. Extreme
types, however, should bp nvoidpd. All
of us have met in real life men and
women of such marked eccentricities
that if they were portrayed on the stage ,
the average audience would vow that
uch persons never existed. Make your
characters real human beings, people I
that the audience can love, like, ad
mire, bate or despise.
"And bear in mind," Mr. Collier
ndjured, "that in eoraedv the clement of
surprise is rsscutial. When a man is
most serious turn the mood into comedy i
by a deft letort or unexpected action. ,
The sense of humor, above all, is essen- I
tial and necessary, because what might
nppear tragic to the participant in real j
life must bo mnde ludicrous on the stage
by a touch of humor'
"Bear in mind that action is most
important. Don't write long, tiresome
dialogues, or have some character tell
iu lengthy speeches what has happened.
Mako cneh chamcler have something to I
do that has n ical bearing pa the plot,
that forwards the story and carries out I
tha scheme to u logical ending. Don't I
expect to succeed with u play written I
overnight And keep on trjing."
That Mr. Collier knows the theatre
audits patrons so' well is because virtu
ally his entire lifo has been bpent upon
the btage, since the davs when he
became ooll boy at Daly's Theatre.wheio
lor six years no amoea uis ttmo be
tween the duties of his job and the play
ing of small parts, until be bcame a
ttar.
Mr. Collier first appeared as a star in
"On the Quiet," which served him for
two seasons. After u sojourn with
AVeber and Fields in their New York
Music Hall ho took "On (be Quiet" to
I.e-Bdon, where he scored a success. In
bis own play, uaugnt in toelUJa," ha
toured the SWLtto: fter his rstura from
several houses that fnce on the buuare
so that he might supervise the scenery
and properties aud be sure 41iat no
error would be made. The room from
which the producor-plaj wright took his
main idea is from a house owned by a
fiioud. The staid air of respectability
and unchanging mood iu the face of
rushing modernity is a quality that Mr.
Golden has suceieded iu conveying to
his nudienec through the medium of his
setting the "Irving room" of the
menage of the bachelor trio.
A HEAL Indian bullet is one of the
features of Raymond Hitchcoek'e
"Hitehy Koo 1019." Princess White
Deer, who was born in the St. Regis
reservation, near Malone, New York,
is the principal dancer in the ballet,
which, of course, is presented in Indian
costume.
Princess White Deep is the dancer's
real name, her grandfather, who is still
alive, beiug Running Deer, a prosper
ous hotelkeeper on the St. Regis lcser
vation. Because of her fair skin sht
was named White Deer. She is a bona-
fide princess, although she admits that
Indian princesses are not uncommon on
any first-class reservation.
Her engagement is due entirely to
her nbility. as u dancer. She has
plajcd several tours in Europe, but this
is her first appearance in a big musi
cal production. Her "handmaidens,"
who appear in the ballet with her, arc
her cousins, more or less removed.
