ACTRESS DESCRIBES
ISBEN SHE KNEW

Describing Ibsen as she knew him,
ITC dwig Reicher, the German actress,
who made her debut as an English
sI eaking artist in "On the Eve" says:
In some quarters there is the i'm
preston tnat Ibsen was-what do you
call it--grouchy. That is not true. He
was shy, very shy, especially in the
society of women. But he was usu-
ally smiling and his manner was al
ways affable, with touch of courtli-
ness that made him very attractive.
My meetings with Ibsen were rath-
er formal In box at the theater or
at little supper afterward, he was
at his best. From his bushy beard and
hair you probably picture him as un
kempt or rustic. That is far from
correct. He was really a dandy and
was not free from a dandy's vanity.
/ have caught him looking at his re-
Election in a convenient mirror and
Strengthening the angle of lapel and
the folds of craVat with an express
sion which implied that he was not
entirely displeased with himself.
Don't let me give you a wrong i'm
preston. He was really very modest,
and did not enjoy talking about him
self or his work. / remember someone
asking him once if Nora really went
back to The Dolls House. L do not
know he said, quite simply, as
though implying that Nora was a liv-
ing human being, and no one could pre-
dict what she would do.
Again, in an animated discussion.
Ibsen said something which did not
seem to agree with some statements
he had made earlier in the day. One
of the party drew his attention to the
seeming inconsistency.
'Ach, my friend said the drama
tist, wearily, did you ever follow
thought to its very end without en-
countering inconsistencies and con-
tradictions?
II noticed that upon any reference
to his own works he usually became
reserved. But 1 never observed any
brusqueness in his speech or action.
My impression is that of unfailing
kindliness."

BRIToNs SYMPATHY TOO
SERIOUS TO SEE A JOKE

Harry Lauder has allowed himself to
stray into the fields of speculative
| thought long enough to arrive at tho
! conclusion that there is a strong re-
semblance between Scotch and Ameri-
| can humor. He tells the following
anecdote to Illustrate the difference be-
tween the susceptibility of the first
two nations and of the inhabitants of
Great Britain to a certain type OF
humor:
"A Scotch joke that has been going
the rounds will serve admirably, l
think, to show the similarity of Scotch
and American humor, also the differ
ence in the way Englishmen see
things" he said "Over in little town
near Glasgow the good minister of the
parish fell into an old excavation as
he was going home one dark evening.
Naturally he raised loud outcries and
a villager was attracted by the noise.
""What's the matter doom thereF
asked the villager.
TITS me, the meenister' cried the
captive. Help me oot!'
"'Dae not make such ootcries, par
son. answered the villager. Ye Wullna
be needit till the Sawbath, and this Is
only Tuesday nicht'
'When 1 told this one to a Scotch
man he shouted, "A Draw joke, bonnY
joke! and saw the point before the
story was half over When l told It
to an American he chuckled, slapped
me on the back and ordered drinks.
When I told it to an Englishman he
Wondered a moment and then re-
marked, "A bally outraged What! Did
he leave the poor rector there, from
Tuesday until Sunday"
"Al of which, / think shows the
truth of my argument concerning SIM.
ilarity of Scotch and Yankee humos
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-05

will be surprised at discovering how
near it is to his neighbor's. The king
dom of democracy cometh not by OBJ
serVation.
OF course any writer should be- posi-
tive, not negative. Damning with faint
praise, If the praise be honest, is the
most effective damnation. The writer
merely states a fact; his readers draw
the conclusion and form the judgment.
1t is part of the instructive good ma
ture and large tolerance of mankind
to quarrel with any sweeping denial
or attack. The wine faster who should
prefer clatet sour would Immediately
gain following. He might be right or
wrong. But the wine faster who should
affirm sweet claret to be an abomina-
tion would be certain only of the
wrath of confirmed tipplers. Esthetic
preferences for insaner things than
lame horses have thriven amazingly
for the simple reason that they were
daringly dogmatic. The genius of
madmen has sometimes been stronger
than the negations of saints.
Conviction is the first asset and the
final debt to his public of any writer
on the drama. The more human he is,
the more completely will he uncon
sciously embrace in his view the views
of every man who has lived. The more
be his message. He must needs be sane
and comprehensive in the catalogue of
his enthusiasms, for at the playhouse
he must meet kings and beggars, saints
and scoffers, aborigines and dilettantes.
The dramatic critic enters the theater
not as a controversialist enters a
drawing room, girded for the fray.
Rather does he come as a child, to bel
amused, to laugh, to cry perhaps, but
always to believe. Few modern play
wrlghts believe in themselves. The
critic must believe in all of them. No
genius understands himself. The critic
must try to understand him. Every
actor is untitled for his role, and will
tell you just how. The critic must
discover why or forever hold his peace.
And through the warp and woof of
his story of the footlight fairyland
there will shine at times, perhaps his
vision of the, vastly more dramatic
world of reality-that world wherein We
all are actors making the best of
quaint and uncoveted roles, and striv-
ing with an inexplicable audacity to
discern the Idea OF the Dramatist

BALLADE OF A 5ACKsLIDER

The thing they call legitimate
Can have my money any time,
think the problem drama great.
like the play of blood and crime,
Broad farce and pallid pantOmime
honor on Occasion-still.
Every so often, honest, I'm
just homesick after vaudeville.
Grand opera comes, as sure as fate,
To bid me scale the heights sub
lime;
Shakespeare alone can recreate
A taste debauched by Broadway
slime;
just for one puny little dime
snare the moving picture thrill,
But even there (omit this rhyme)
I'm homesjck after vaudeville.
So, soon or late, precIpitate,
The musty, winding stairs l climb
To where in true Olymplan state
A merry crew acclaim the chime
OF tinkling feet and twinkling
mime
In haring dance and fairy trill;
Forgotten toll and care and CRIME,
I'm homesick after vaudeville.

Prince, i will not prevariCate;
Much high brow drama makes me

Deuce take the comedy sedate.
I'm homesick after vaudeville.
