Their effort on the part of stagecraft to
make the audience realize that the man
is getting wetter and wetter every mo-
ment. The scene is irresstibly funny.
Although there are pathetic passages
all through the novel, the pathos is kept
out of the play until the last act. Then
David Harum sends for the widow Gull
lom to tell her how her husband had
given him the courage TO make start
in the world by his kindness in taking
him to the circus; and giving him ten
cents to spend for himself.
AS this is the basis of what may be
termed the secondary plot in the piece
its Importance cannot be overestinated
and, if properly played, will make the
audience weep as inevitably as the earlier
portions of the play will make them hold
their sides to keep from bursting with
laughter. 1t must be presented with a
quiet dignity, as tender as it is homely,
and the whole story must be permitted
to drift along until the great climax pre-
sents itself
such is the play of David Harum -
with which 1 am to open next season.
My appreciation of the fact that l am to
be permitted to play the title role may be
indicated by the fact that 1 am of the
opinion that there is no characterization
OF the stage to-day that can compare with
David Harum as an avenve for the play
er's ability to be shown and it remains
for the public TO decide y the possibili-
ties of the character have been brought
out
