to establish. This is the center Of

"Oh, Boston! Please don't men

about Boston. It has a permanent

Washington is really the center Of

as I believe that this is ne place

to me that this is the proper place
for the first big theater in this

erance and pity. why you would

would suit your various parties.

more intelligence and real appre-
citation of the value Of your parts"
THAT is due largely to constant
training in one company" said Mr..
Greet. There are quite a number
of people with me now who have
been with me for years"
Speaking of training" said my
companion, what do you think of
schools for acting, and eloeution.
Is it better fer a man or a woman
to start at the bottom in a COM
pany. or to get some training in a
school2"
'sElocuuon,' replied Mr.. Greet,
as we commonly interpret the
word, is odious. 1t is nothing more
than mounting and gesticulation.
Real elocution, which is the art Of
speaking correctly and with ex-
preston, is essential, and must be
acquired either through leborious
training in a company or In q
school for acting.

added, with chuckle. cit viii be

pie how TO play Foxy Grandpa.

I would hate to see a Foxy Grand

"Are you going to give IN your
theatrical enterprise then
$40, shall have a company In
conjunction with my school. There
are a number of cities In this
vicinity where I could take q com
pany for weeks engagement.
Philadelphia, Baltimore. Richmond,
and Norfolk are inviting oenters."
II suppose, of course. that ell
your productions viii be given IN
the Elizabethan style?" I oueried.
9on the contrary, I am gradu-
ally getting away from that style
of production. While I shah al
ways retain at least one play for
Elizabethan presentation, it is an
undeniable fact that the public
likes scenery. 1 am arranging for
a number of really artistic back
grounds for some of my Shake
spearean offerings. And just at
present I am reviving several CT
the old English comedies. Besides
She Sleeps to Conquer and
Masks ana Faces which / present
here. l am now rehearsing a
School for Scandal and The
Risals. Now there are certain
plays, such as Macbeth and The
Merchant of Venice. which are
much more effective, think, when
presented in the Elizabethan style
than with elaborate scenery"
How do American stage produc-
tions compare with those of Eng
land?"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-02-23

Apropos Of ScenerY.

Il should say that the English
productions are much r1ore salts

more of an art. There Is a less
forid style In America, for ex-
ample, all the trees inval :.sisly give
the impression of ear!y summer.
The foliage is always the greenest
Of green's"
Evidently the contemplation of
American scene painting recalled
to Mr.. Greet's mind some particu-
larly atrocious piece of sign paint
ing which had been sold or offered
TO him as scenery, for want Of q
better name. for after a silent
little laugh he remarked:

it was as nothing compared to his

some Of the New York critics
toward the serious drama.
''Why," declared the actor" the
drama is weak enough as it is with

funny column. Producers today
