less of a hiatus between them and
their audience than any other type OF
performer; their first and last thought
is to get what they have to give over
the ,footlights They are alert from an
experience in branch of entertain
ment full of surprises; resourceful be-
cause musical comedy is continuous in
its accidents; graceful from frequent
manipulation about crowded stage;
and certain to project over the foot
lights whatever they have to say. be-
cause the very fewness of points in
musical comedy teaches one economy.
For example. I have watched the
acting of Miss Billie Burke-another
graduate from musical comedy-and
have always marvelled at the ease and
precision with which she gets about
the stage. 1t may be small stage,
thickly encountered with awkward
furniture and crowded by large cast.
but Miss Burke never heils to place
herself right, to get in and out of it's
various ictricacies. always obtaining
her proper station and maintaining the
stage in perfect balance. Only stage
producers know what a virtue this is.
Miss Burke undoubtedly owes it to
her training in musical comedy.
Again, my association with Miss
Hattie Williams has taught me that
the actress who knows best how to
reach her audience is the actress who
has served her apprenticeship in a live
ly musical comedy scramble for points.
The very pauoity of material in NIL
steal comedy impresses it upon its act
ors and actresses thatasthey must be
thrifty with what they nave. Many bits
are given to many players. and, as you
say in America. it is up to each player
to make good with the material given
him. The result is that the graduate
from musical comedy always econo-
mixes whatever the author provides.
In outstanding this material they get
an utterance, a sense of word values, a
fine knack in making pauses, transit
tons of voice and of facial expression
that usually only comes to an actor af-
ter prolonged stage experience. / be-
lieve for example that Miss Williams

may pay an ad valorem duty of IS

titled to all of the privileges Of Ameri-

According to the figures supplied
to the customs officers, there are be-

the neighbarhood of $4,000 tons

Customs officials believe that many

will pay ad valorem duty in pref

would exceed the duty based upon the
