a moral or to teach lesson disappear

GOOD STORIES
ABOUT ACTORS
(Chicago Tribune.l


Most of the good stories that are told
about actors are attributed to Wilton
Lackaye, Maurice Barrymore, Jim
Thornton Crimmins of the old
team of Crimmins and Doyle, ]. Ber-
nard Dyllyn, Pete Daley, Willie Col
lier, Nat Goodwin, Ezra Kendall and a
few others.
The generality of actors do not get
much of this genuine fame among
their acquaintance. The good rough
and tumble wits are the ones that most
of the actors like. and some of the
things these rough and tumble chaps
have said and done have been great

tanned recognition the finer things that
in them finally and invariably came out.
THE general lesson of the theatre,
therefore, must be sought among the
theatre goers themselves. This raises
the question of what may be called, for
want of a better term, the morals of a
crowd. The code of morality OF 1000
persons in theatre is decidedly higher
than the morals of each person in that
crowd if taken separately and formed
into a general average. Every crowd
contains the usual number of moral
men and women, immoral persons, and
those who do not give any particular
thought to morals. Yet the verdict of
the crowd as a whole is for morality
The immoral and immoral people do not
count, or they give their verdict in ia
vor Of the moral side of the question.
You will find this in its elemental
form in the performances of melodra-
mas at the cheaper theatres The au-
diences contain the usual proportion of
immoral persons. Yet the latter act in
concert with the others. They hiss the
villain, applaud heroism, resent false
hood from the heroine, and sympathize
with the hero when he is down but not
out. The effect of this concerted moral
ity on an immoral person, not only in
the cheaper theatres, but at more pre-
tentious performances. has a decided
permanent value. The temper of the
American theatres going public is clearly
a moral one.
The theatre also holds an important
place in the lives of the people as a
school of manners" added Mr. Mat
thews. when a playgoer sees a pro-
duction by John Drew and his company
or a comedy by Augustus Thomas or
Clyde Fitch, he seems to enter a draw

manners are the rule. For three hours

are not forced upon him. He knows
that the actors and actresses do the
proper thing. If this is different from
what he usually does. the difference is
noticed at once. Knowing that the con-

De Bargy. has scored the supreme hit
of his career. Manager Charles Frohman
secured the American rights of this great
cOmedie- Francaise success, and lost no
time in producing it in New York with
Otis Skinner in the chief role. 1t was
with Mr.. Skinner in mind specially to ere
ate this part of the young priest, who Is
the central figure of the drama. that Mr..
FrOhman decided to undertake the Amer
lean production. and negotiations with the
Skinner himself was decidedly eager TO
apuear in 1.-THE Duel" which has af-
forded him the greatest opportunity he
has ever had in contemporary drama of
modern psychological interest. The story
of the play concerns the passion of Doc
teur Mercy for the Duchesse de Chailles.
The spiritual confessor of the Duchesse is
the Able Daniel, who IS the brother OF
Docteur Morey, and has been a man of
the world before his conversion to the
priesthood The able becomes the ar
bitter between his brother and the Ouch
eSSe, both of them torn between their pas
sion for one another and the teachings of
religion. In the intensely dramatic Situd-
tions which are evolved the Able finds
himself with human emotions and i'm
pulses that make him doubt his own fit
ness to be priest and spiritual guide to
these others 1t is the duel between re-
Iigious duty and individual spirit The
priest would renounce his vows; the
Duchesse would seek safety in a convent.
In the inevitable crisis all three troubled
souls are saved BY the large minded ad-
vice of a liberal and kind-hearted eccle-
siastic, MOnseigneur Bolene. The char
acter of Able Daniel is said to be one of
the most unique and peculiarly interest
ing studies of human complexity that has
ever been presented upon the stage. He
is the modern type of tolerant thinker, in
absolute touch with contemporary in
fluences.- The play is still the talk of
Paris and New York and bids fair TO du-
plicate its SENSATIONAL success in this city.
