Mexican Melodies
In Grifffith's Plav

David Wark Griffith. author Of the
Z play "a Fool and a Girl spent many
years In California and cd Mexico. Dur
ing these travels he was able TO learn
4 a number Of old Mexican folk songs
which he has set 70 music. and some
iNof them are introduced INTO the second
tact Of his play, which shows a hon
fTanch under moonlight. during an I'M
kprcmptu celebration. MANY OF these
fsongs have never been heard outside
OF old Mexico, and it was with only
the greatest difficulty that Mr.. Crit
nth was able % obtain them. the NIex-
leans regard them with something like
reverence
Z first heard n strain OF one nc The
old Mexican songs" says Mr.. Grif-
fifth, 'at hop ranch near the old San
Jose in California. II was at fiesta
celebrating the last night OF hop pick
ing. A crude dance platform had been
erected, which was lit by lanterns from
the overhanging branches Of the trees
that sheltered IT, An old Mexican was
singing in small but pleasant voice 10
the accompaniment Of a guitar. I tried
hard to get information concerning this
song. He promised TO sing them all
Tor me the next day, but he never
showed up. I tried to get the music
many times after that. but was always
unsuccessful until I went to Los An

Cecilia Lotus
In Many Roles

Versatility, as applied 10 actors. is a
much abused word. But there is one
woman TO whom 1t unquesuonabIy ap-
plies-Cecilia Lotus.
Miss LOTUS has done almost an In
finite variety of things, and done them
equally we'll She has done them easily,
with proper revelations Of difference in
feeling. emotion and meaning, which IS
art a person who accomplishcs one
thing well and another i'll is not versa
tile and can be artistic only in the
thing done well.
In burlesque and in tragedy. in fare,
comedy and in comic opera, in classical
comedy and IN melodrama. Miss LOTUS
! has been successful. And as an imi-
tator she stands without a peer.
Miss Lotus is. first OF all. ar actress.
She has a temperamental equipment
akin to those which have made Saraf,
Bernhard. Eleanora Duse, and ALA
Nazinova supreme. When Mss LOTUS
: initiates one Of these great women. shs
invests their roles with the same swesr
OF passion which they themselves EN-,
ploy.
Cecilia LOTUS roles in the legitlmet,
I IN the past have ranged from the
I heroine IN "a Serio Comic Governess.,
! 70 Viola In Twelfth Night" and
! Ophena in Hamlet" from the title
Z role Of Peter Pan to tho great char
acter OF Mrs. Dane in Mrs. Dane
Defense" Two Of her greatest sue
( cesses were with z. n Sothern in ~
I Were King and Richard L,oveIace ="
There could not be a more striking
( contrast to roles Of this character than
her work with Joe Weber's aggregation
last year.

wholesome or more enjoyable
comedy than The BOYS OF Company
R'' as presented at the Columbia last
I week by John Barrymore and a clevec
supporting company.
The devotee Of the problem play is
prone TO decry such productions rs
nawkish and puerile, but merely Dc
cause a comedy depicts youth and hap
piness is not an evidence Of veal ness.
True, such plays do not teach any
great moral truth nor do they give Tauch
food for thought. but they make us
younger and happier for having seen
/. them and as such they nave. their place
/ in the dramatic world. The avera Te
play which is said merely to enter
tain" frequently has some coarse or
suggestive situations to provoke loud
laughter. but which is devoid of clean
humor. The Boys OF Company Z" is
a relief from such stage offerings.
John Barrymore appeared TO splendid
advantage. and gives promise of q bril-
liant career. He. like all the other
members Of the Drew-Barrymore fam
lily, is an ideal interpreter of roles
where gentle breeding is TO be por-
trayed. It is not a bit of acting for
him to appear at ease In a drawing
room scene.
Young Barrymore, while lacking the
fnesse of John Drew, seems TO possess
more dramatic fire than his uncle. a
