THE HALF MOON'
STAGE LOVE-MAKING
Modern Wooer Faces Task on Playa
of Today
The actor playing- tho rolo of a lover
In n modem play is up against a diffi
cult proposition, according to James
Montgomery, author of "Irene," coming
to tho Shubert Monday.
"Tho role of a respectful suitor for
a lady's hand Is not any easy ono for
any man to essay, even in real life."
Bays Mr. Montgomery, "and tho dim
culty is increased a thousandfold when
the job Is transferred from the family
parlor or sido porch to the ungrateful
glare of tho footlights.
"Take, for example, tho case of Don
ald Marshall, the hero hi 'Irene.' Judged
by conventional drama and Action he Is
anything but ideal. Ho Indulges in no
pretty speeches, doesn't cast significant
glances, uoesn t moon aDout wnen in
the presence of tho girl ho loves.
"On tho stago virtually from the rise
to the final fall of the curtain, Marshall
has scarcely anything to say, nothing to
do but wait, until the arrival of the
psychological moment This Is my Idea
of a real task for an actor I know, for
I was on tho stage a long time before
becoming a dramatist"

ACTORS MADE, NOT BORN
Blanche Bates Declares There's No
8uch Thing as "Gift"
"There Is no such thing as having a
gift for acting. Tho making of an actor
lies In training. Of course, If there Is no
predisposition for acting all tho training
in tho world wouldn't help."
So says Blanche Bates, one of the
foremost actresses on the American
stago. Henry Miller and Blanch Bates
come to the Brond Monday evening in
"Tho Fqmous Mrs. Fair," n play by
James Forbes.
"Nowadays." savs Miss Bates, "tho
only road for a youngster going on the
stage Is a school of acting, else ho plays
only one part for a whole season, or
porhaps two, ahd Instead of growth
comes stagnation. .
"Somo one, I think it was Arthur By
mons, coined a wonderful phrase to
guide the young actor. Ho said that
pieces were acted 'Not for tho exhibition
of the actor, but for the realization of
the play.' An actor must havo this un
dcvlatlng sense of responsibility toward
tho play as a wholo or his work Is
worthless."

ises to bo Its most' brilliant season Is
Just before themr It was tho first con
cert In tho remodeled Academy, and tno
changes hare caused no apparent loss in
the acoustto properties of tn building.
.Tho program began with the lovely
"Etrryanthe" overture or Weber, whlo't
started with a slight roughness .of tone
In the string section, but this disap
peared In tho pianissimo settion for thi
strings alone, nnd did not reappear
during tho concert It was doubtless
due to tha Ion per d without rehearsal
and tho consequent loss of tono values
among,, the players unaccustomed for
several months to ploying In tho Acad
my whert filled with an audlenco. Th j
was followed by the Third ("Erolca")
Symphony of Beethoven, beauuiuiiy per
formed and given without intermissions
between tho several movements. Mr.
Rtnknwukl tnok (tin first movement at a
very moderate tempo, but made up fpr
this Djr tno speed ot tno soncrzo, me
wholo orchestra achieving a lightness
and delicacy of tone In th last-named
movement that was. wonderfully beau
tiful and. e rrectlvo. Tha other familiar
numbers of tho program were two of
tho .Warner overtures, those to "Lohen
irrln" and -Tannhauser." Tho first of
these was exqulsltoly performed, the
work of tho violins, divided Into manv
nsrts. being especially fine. It was n.
difficult work to give at a flm con-oi-
nftir ihn Innp vacation, as tho In
tonation required of tho violins Is very
difficult and the tone balance at ttw
iAuk .nf ft,,, rvimrtoiiltlon is ono of tho
hardest to achieve to tho literature of
the orchestra.
The novelty of the program was an
ovorture, "Comes Autumn Time," by
Loo Sowerby, a young composer of cnl
cago, whom Mr. Stock recently honored
by giving an entlro program mado up
of his works at a concert of tho Chi
cago Orchestra. Tho overture la decid
edly modern In thought, but adheres
rather strictly to the classlo form of th
overture. Thero is a moderate degree
of melodlo Invention, a gift highly valued
by the classics, but about which the
ultra-modern seems to caro little. Mr.
Sowerby Is evidently a good contra
puntist and tends strongly toward -he
Max Reger mode of harmonization. His
orchestration Is original and ho seoms
to prefer using tho Instruments In
groups, thus gaining distinctiveness In
orchestral color, but losing In tho breadth
of that coloring. Thus he frequently
usos dissonant ohords In the brass alone,
evidently preferring not to soften them
by the addition of strings or woodwind.
Tho effect of tho composition was that
it was one or conBiocTuuie imorcni, uui
4t. ivMnHfl nf thn orchestration
scarcely boro out the placid lines of Bliss
Carmen, which the overture took for Its
subject Nevertheless, It showed both
