"All. jcs." snl.l E. II. Sothern. the
nrter, Imvlng been invited te spenk
nf the vielisltiulcs of the clnmlcal drama
(luring Ills own experience, and the out'
leek for a Shakespearean future.
Well"
He was rapidly peeling out of the
buskins of Malvnlla. In n trlec he
wns revealed In the innermost stratum
of the cettime, nn anachronis
tic suit of heavy merino. He dipped
hi Imntl Inte nn Immense Jar of cold
erenm and poised n little gob of it for
n moment en his forefinger.
"I suppose." Mr. Sothern answered.
, "thnt .veu mean the changes that have
1'uiiiu in my nine nun se eili i.nillg'',
nf course, have changed utterly. It Is
next te impossible new for a young
BCtnr. even of appropriate tnlent nnd
Intelligence, te get n foothold in the
standard Knglhh drnmn.
"In the first plnce. thcrenre hardly
any schools Iier.e he can lenrn the
wciininue et the parts, and no pro pre
1 ducers who would be willing te buck
him without a guarantee of popular
support.
"Hardly nny actor Is possessed of re
1 sources prodigious enough te mnke the
nttempt en his own, for the first years
inevitably mean one failure after an
other. "In the old days there were In till
the principal cities of this country stock
theatres, tit which hardlv anything wns
played but the Kngllsh stock dramas,
i One reason for that, of course, wns
I thnt nt the time America had virtually
no dramatic literature of her own, ex
cept a few wild Western melodramas.
Yeung Acter Had Half Dezen Masters
"The point, however, was thnt te
these thcutres enmc nil t!.- great men
of thnt generation te pray such relej
ns Hamlet, Iirutus, Othelle nnd se en,
supported by the local cempnny. The
young actor had net only ene great
master, but a half-dozen or mere."
Mr. Sothern, with n towel, wiped
nwny the last vestige of Malvolie and
paused impressively te count his lingers.
"Think," he said. "I played nt the
Bosten Museum, and te that stage came
Ttnnth nnd Ilnrrett nnd Ferre.sr nml
' McCullough nnd Mncrendy, nnd the
great Englishmen like Irving and "
Hut he had net fingers enough te
count them. At nn imperceptible sig
nal the vnlct slipped ever him nn oil
cloth nnren and Mr. Sothern bowed
I his face gracefully into a tin basin of
I water.
j One wns lest in admiration at the
process of Mr. Sothern's gradual trnns
' figuration, which went en with a
I smoothness nnd absolute economy of
j movement thnt no surgical team In the
! world could haic Imitated.
j "G glub." he said earnestly, rais
ing his head for a moment from the
I basin. "At rehearsals In these days
( the young mnn could observe one week
,Iiew Mr. Uenth carried his points, nmt
the next week hew Mr. Km rest carried
his, nnd could adapt them te what
eer genius was his own.
"Opportunities for artistic compari
son nnd experiment eie infinite.
U. S. Found Dramatists
"Hut gradually the Tnited Stnteb
began te find its own dramatists, a
rather fine crop of them en the whole.
The stock dramas began te disappear
from the benrd and, eventually, the
stock thentre.
"There nre only four organizations
In the country that arc doing this sort
of thing. Old Beb Mnntell, of course,
nnd Fritz Licber nnd Hampden, who
after the most arduous struggle ngnlnst
discouragements Is beginning te suc
ceed I mean financially."
Hv n miracle the merino undershirt
' had been replaced by n garment mere or
I less of the mode. New Mr. Sothern
1 was buttoning his shirt and slipping
I nrni- If IiIq eiiKnenrlprR.
"Others try it sporadically," he re
sumed, "but these efforts always col
lapse, and will Inevitably collapse when
the actor or actress Is net in n posi
tion te stand one failure after another.
"Suppose nn ncter gees te a pro
ducer nnd tells him thnt he can piny
Hamlet. The producer will say. 'Ah,
that is very interesting, but surely, my
dear sir, you don't want me te spend
$.'10,000 simply te find out that you
enn piny Hnmlet?' Fer that's whnt it
would mean no matter what the man's
capabilities.
"Se that's the trouble. A tradition
hns te be created before the public will
come." Mr. Sothern received his hat
and stick "nnd I'm net blaming the
public because I knew what has been
done in making Shakespeare like a bad
dream.
Werk Was nard
"We have become an institution of a
sort new, but the work was frightfully
hard for many years; a business of drift
ing from one manager te another. Mrs.
Sothern (.Tulln Marlew) for six years,
earned hardly mere than enough te keep
alive, although in that time she was
given the most flattering notices one
could nsk,"
Mr. Sothern walked out of his dress
ing room. Miss Marlowe was waiting in
the shadows of the stage.
"I was sajing," he, snid. te. her.
"what a time you hnd thee six years."
"Yes," she replied laughing. "Fer
six years I worked for a little less than
heard nnd keen."
Mr. Sothern broke In.
"Whnt Is the answer te nil thnt T I
hne been telling you? Hew nre we!
going te find ncters for the standard
dramas In the future? I don't mean only i
Shnkespeare nnd romance, but Ibsen i
and Shaw and Hrlcux and fJalswerthj
nml nil the ether r"allst.s and ghosts.
Thne plays aren't successful either.
Nobody has even rande any money from
ghosts.
"The answer, T say, is the universi
ties. Kach year mere and mere of them
show slens of recognizing nctlng as n
fine art. Kach year finds mere nnd
mere students In the galleries nt our
performances,
"The universities' nnd municipnllv
endowed repertoire thentres, thnt will
afford the same chance for training ns
the old stock companies.
"Well, Julia, we'd better be getting
home. Geed night. Geed night."

"With the Scsnul-Ccntennlnl np np

SIZE THAT COUNTS
This U a Steinway grand especially designed for the best musical
effect in the usual spaces of the modern house. Its "ever-all"
measurement of 5 ft 7 in. permit use of the string length and the
sounding-beard area essential te true grand-piano tone. We call it
Miniature Grand only because of its close artistic relation te the big
Steinway Grand. But, in fact, it is the largest of small grands
larger than the usual "baby grand." and larger than some "parlor
grands" offered at about the same price as that of the Steinway
Style M. Length is a critical test of a grand's worth. A catalogue ,
name counts for little. Measure the price by the length, and you
will experience some surprises.-
