SYMBOLICAL STORY
OF KENNEDY PLAY
By the Author.

BN the AutnOFs
ESTN HE Servant in the House" is not
really an allegory in the full
"A sense of the word, nor is it con-
structed like a morality play, which it
is sometimes rather loosely called. An
allegory is the definite expression of in
tellectual conceptions through lay fig
ures posing as persons; as, for exam
pie, in Sponsors "Fairie Queene." In
an allegOry the tendency is to PROFOUND
your truth at the expense of your char
acterization. Symbolism is a more
subtle affair. You draw your charac-
ters accurately and inpenetrate Them
unbeknOWn to themselves, with the
Ideas, in the Platonic sense, which you
are standing for In a word, allegory
definitely states while symbolism sug-
gests.
The big symbolic meaning of the play
is: Christ as the tOuchstone of life
and the solution of all human difficult
ties-reigious, social and personal; not
merely by the inspiration of senti-
mental fancies about Him. but by the
impelling to deeds that carry out His
will"
The symbols of Manson's personality
and the cesspool under the church, and
the large cosmiC symbol of the present
discomfort among the civilized nations
eXemplihed by class distinction and the
hate of brother for brother, may be
readily recognized. But the numerous
occurrences of these symbols through
out the five acts can be traced only by
observing closely the lines and stage
directions. | have tried to bring out
the symbolism of the personality of
Manson more emphatically than any
other in the play. The jam episode at
the beginning of the first act is utilized
for the conveyance of a psychological
ic m oh hn
attention of the audience, and create an
atmosphere Of mysticism. In the scene
when Mary first suspects Manson's
identity one of the important symbols
of Manson's personality occurs.
"Who are you?" Mary asks, with the
dawn of knowledge shining from her
face.
Il am" he begins, when the sound
of a bell from the church checks his
speech 1t is the sanctus bell that
echoes the chimes in the hand of the
acOlyte a the host is elevated. Man
sons eyes turn to the altar beyond the
door Then, with deepened humility
he answers her question, 81 am the
servant in this house.
An equally significant symbol lies in
the fact that Mary is the only one who
recognizes the bishop of Benares in
Manson the butler, Hers is the clear
vision of innocent childhood. Remem-
Der the admonition: Except ye become
as little children ye cannot enter into
the kingdom of heaven" The symbol
of the servant becoming master is quite
obvious as is his answer to the bishop
of Lancashire's outburst: IF | could
have my way with YOU I would have
you publicly whipped ! would visit
you with the utmost rigOr of the law;
would nail you up, sir, for an ex-
ample"
Il have encountered similar hostility
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-18

before, my lord" Manson replies, from
gentlemen very like your lordship."
The bishop of Lancashire, of course,
is Mammon. The symbolism of his
personality is shown by his use of every
power for his own end, and the episode
of the five pound note that recalls the
buying and selling of Christ. Also, he
is blind and deaf-has "eyes to see. but
secs not; ears to hear, but hears not.
The symbolism of the drain that led
to the cesspool under the church is
sometimes misunderstood. 1t is not in
tended as an attack upon the founda-
tions of religion or the established
churches. 1t means tina religion is fet-
tered by the mOldering collins and de-
cayed bones of the past; that we are
not worshiping dead Christ who once
was, but a living Christ, eternally pres
ent. Old ideas, old prejudices, dead
statements, a greater veneration for
the forms of religion than for the prac-
tical application of Christ's teachings,
must be removed by the drain man"
It is meant to drive home the fact that
many who loudly profess their faith in
Christ are the worst of atheists, and
only realize that truth when they are
brought face to face with a spiritual
crisis.

Miss MatthIson,s Aim

During my entire career" said Miss
Matthison. the noted English actress,
in an interview reported by Adolph
Klauber in the August Smiths, 81 have
tried to avoid the qualification of the
one-part idea. BY that l do not mean
one part literally but the many parts
that in effect are the same as one.
Specialism, particularly here in Amer
lea, seems to be almost essential to any
sort of progress. 1t follows that the
player with a particularly striking per-
sonality builds upon it, and very often
builds only one kind of individualism.
On the other hand, see how badly it
works out in the case of an actor or an
actress whose individuality does not
happen to be pleasant. He or she may
be ever so fine an artist, and yet is not
so generously received. Then, too we
are so often obliterated in our parts.
It isn't always compliment to be loved
by your audiences. ! have played at
times when the more the audience
hated me the more l felt that l was
truly in the role"

"BARNYARD DRAMA" is
FROHMAN'S NEW CAPTURE

Charles Frohman has secured the
American rights to Rostand's barn
yard play. "Chantecler" The produc-
ton in America will be under the joint
direction of Mr.. Frohman and NJ.
Hertze, the manager of Jean Coquelin
and the stage manager of the Porte
Saint Martin i'm Paris. Hertze and CO.
quoln have both proprietary interests
in the piece, and the latter will play in
il the role of the dog. They intend to
take an active part i'm the management
Of "Chantecler" in whatever country
it is produced, and that will include
France, England, Germany, Austria,
Australia and America. At least Mr.
Rostand has received $50 900 for the
right of production independent Of all
royalties.
There is no suggestion of any human
being in the play except a glimpse Of
one running away just as the curtain
rises. The piece is in four acts, III
which all the parts are those of do
mestic fowls and quadrupeds M. Gul-
try gives up his own theater to take
the role of the cock in this piece,
while Nine Simone lie Bargy, who
was successful in The Thief" will
play that of his inamorita, the golden
pheasant.
The first English translation of the
play will be made by Rostand's son.
it has not yet been decided who viii
do the final work, possibly Louis n.
Parker. who made the English version
of 'L'Aiglon" for Maude Adams.
1T was one time in my mind to in

HALCY0N DAYS PAST
IN SONG WRITING
BY JAMES THORNTON,


Author of when You Were Sweet Six
teen" and "She May Have Seen Better
Days" at orpheum next week.
The day of spontaneous. inspired
song writing is past 1t has become
mechanical made-to-order business.
In 1883 l was in Roster and Bials mu-
sic hall in New York, and after the
performance | saw an unfortunate,
drunken woman on the sidewalk with
a crowd gathered around jeering at
her. l remarked to a friend: She
may have seen better days" and it oc-
Cured to me afterward that the idea
was a good one for a song. 1 wrote
it and it was sung in every concert
hall and variety show in the city, and
then swept the country. But that
isn't the way song writing is done
nowadays.
The business has been organized, but
not for the benefit of the song writer.
If a manager wants a song for a GER
tain actor he orders it from a writer
on his salary roll, or, possibly, from
free lance, and it is delivered on the
spot made to order. A free lance who
chases up and down Broadway long
enough to get his song accepted has
to divide money with the person who
sings it, possibly with the producing
manager, and then take a chance on
getting royalties.' How many songs
these days ,outlast their first singing?
Yet you will still find that the song
that is most popular is the one that
touches some heart interest. Among
song writer's it is called the heaven,
home and mother" type. Some of them
are awful slush, but in their way
they express a fine moral sense, and
appeal to the masses just as does the
triumph of the hero in the melodrama.
No, the song writing business is not
dead, but. it is crippled. It's getting
around on crutches, and the doctor is
making three visits a day.

DoDSON CULLS IDEAS
FROM STUDY OF CROWDS

In an interesting interview with ].
e. Dodson, printed in the July Theatre
Magazine, the veteran impersonator of
age says: 81 suppose l ought to feel
f1attered when | hear people talk of old
Dodson. and yet somehow it gives me
shock. l ought to feel fiattered, be-
cause 1t is a compliment to my acting
and also my makeup"
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Dodson is
barely so. His success in impersonating
an infinite variety of old men types is
due in no small degree to his constant
study of men he meets on the streets
of the cities in which he plays. He
keeps with him portfolio of sketches
of living men and of actual incidents,
from which he culls a trait here,
form of expression there, and so builds
up a lifelike character much as an in
genious photographer develops a COM
poste portrait.
Mr.. Dodson is resting preparatory to
resuming his triumphal run in "The
House Next Door," by ]. Hartley Man
ners, at the Gaiety, New York, August
2. Later he will tour the principal
American cities.

MANSIONS PICTURE
OF HIS CHURCH IN
THE KENNEDY PLAY

When you enter ii you hear sound
"a sound as of some mighty poem
chanted. Listen long enough, and you
will learn that il is made UP of the
beating of human hearts, of the name
less music of mems sOuls-that Is, If
you have ears. If you have eyes you
will presently see the church itself
a looming mystery of many shapes and
shadows, leaping sheer from floor TO
dome. The work of no ordinary
builder!
The pillars of it go up like the
brawny trunks of heroes; the sweet
human flesh of men and women is
moulded about its bulwarks, strong, inn
pregnable; the faces of little children
laugh out from every cornerstone; the
terrible spans and arches of IL are the
Joined hands of comrades; and up in
the heights and spaces there are in
scribed the numberless musings of all
the dreamers of the world. 1t Is yet
Notwithstanding and built upon.
Sometimes the work goes forward in
deep darkness; sometimes in binding
light; now beneath the burden of un-
utterablc anguish now to the tune of
a great laughter and heroic shOutings
like the cry of thunder Sometimes, in
the silence of the nighttime, one may
hear the tiny hammerings of the com
rades at work up in the dOme-the
comrades that have climbed ahead.

promising as any New York artists
who come here from year to year. All
they need is a chance to show their
worth. All the public needs is a chance
to see their worth. Few of the eastern
road attractions in musical comedy can
afford the expense of bringing the
original cast west, although we are
promised that THE Merry Widow
will prove an exception to this rule.
What is the answer? Home talent
used to its best advantage, in operas
which afford it proper vocal scope. The
Majestic company has partly pointed
the way, despite an unexplained ap-
prehension that it might choose a score
with high-class music in it somewhere.
Who will take the next logical STEP
not in the name of art, but of the box
office
