make a good reporter. Art like the
reporter, is selective when need be,
eXaggerative. The scene in The
Witchng Hour" was true to one iso-
lated fact, but false to a million mu-
tually corroborating ones in the or
dinary mans daily experience. That
is why the critiCs-whO are all ordinary
men-found it subtly irritating, and
that is why the great public some of
whom are ordinary-thought it funny.
Mr.. MorrisOn's "prexy' was true to one
good sound memory of his youth.
1t was false to my general impression
of the fitting and the great probable
average which is the fascinating COM
promise Of human life. SO far as the
opinion of the public is concerned,
we may both be wrong, Perhaps his
"prexy" should be more disreputable,
and my instincts less finicky and more
catholic But it is no defense to my
indictment TO say that the thing hap
pened, any more than it was really
any valid indictment for me to cry
out that the thing couldn't happen.
Did it seem as if it could? That's the
question, and the only question any
body has right to ask regarding a
dramatic impcrSOnation To answer
that question correctly Stage Manag-
ers Hartford and Gardner are growing
grey hairs, and Los Angeles critics
are trying to tear them out.
In the end we must refer it all to
the men i'm the gallery who laughed
at the daring climax Of THE Witching
Hour" And We must not forget that
the laugh itself was an unconscious
tribute to the dramatic tension of the
preceding acts which demanded just
that relief For your uncle Gus

WHY THE BEST MOVING
PICTURES ARE PARTISAN

The American actor is not a panto-
mimic says Herschel Mayall in the
San Francisco Chronicle. He has not
been trained in that school. Ask al
most any American actor just why he
makes a certain gesture at a certain
time and he will not be able to tel
you. He acts from intuition. He
suits the action to the word it is true;
but without the word he would not
have the action. With the French 1t
is entirely different. Each gesture has
a meaning apart from the speech. SO
when the French turned to pantomime
for film purposes they succeeded in
making each move score a point in the
story, without a word being heard by
the spectator. Yes ours is the more
natural school; but I question some
times if it is always the more effective.
And, of course l mean by that in real
acting-not in canned drama"

FRANCISCAN FRIARS
PLAN PASSION PLAY

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8.-Four re-
hearsals a week are now being held for
! the great passion play which Will be
given in this city next September un-
der the auspices of the Franciscan
friars 3 Most of the 200 costumes. which
are being specially made FOR the oc-
casion, have been completed and are
being worn by the principals at the
dress rehearsals
All of the sixty speaking parts have
been filled to the satisfaction of the
author, Rev. j. Kram CFather Jo-
sepha), and of F. de Witt, the stage
manager, who was the stage manager
at the old Tivoli. The rehearsals are
being conducted under the general di-
rection of De Witt.
THE music of the play will IN ltselt
be a great treat" said Father Josephat
yesterday. 1T is being arranged by
Rev. p Huesges, a musician of un-
usual talents, and will be the most
classical music from the greatest mas
ters that existed in the church. There
will be a chorus of 100 voices and
grand orchestra"
The early date at which the rehears-
ing began is explained by the fact that
the play will occupy about fourteen
hours in it's presentation, extending
over four nights. The work of drilling
each character so that the production
will rise to the nelgntS contemplated
by the author is an arduous one.
The scenic effects, it is said, will be
on a scale not before attempted in this
city. or, in fact, anywhere in the west
While the famous play at Oberammer-
gau is given in the open air, with a
natural setting, the local spectacle will
have all the beauties and illusions
which the cunning of modern stage
craft can supply The planning and
execution of these features is task
which is making large demands upon
those who have the play in hand.
1.-The players are very serious in the
study of their parts" said Father Jo-
sephat. "They regard it as an act of
great devotion, rather than as diver
sion or simply as preparation for an
ordinary festival. Several theatrical
managers have made offers for the cast
in full or for the manuscript, but we
have declined to entertain these, as we
regard the play as religious observ-
ance."
The exact dates for the performance
of the play have not yet been deter
mined, but they will be about the last
of September or the first of october.
It is not unlikely that the play will be
made a biennial event.
