riod is growing to be less and less
menace to the theaters. This is pecu-
liarly true of New York, Chicago and
other cities whose populations are
drawn from many lands and numerous
races. This situation naturally enough
tends to promote a wide range of re-
| ligious Beliefs. with the result that the
| observances of one set do not promote
similar rites in others. 1t was the late
j. H.. McVicker, in Chicago, who first
noted a growing patronage of the play
| houses in Lent, and he went so far as
to compare his books during that time
with those covering other periods Of
the year Until this manager set up
| his revised belief, no person wo I'D
! have so much as thought of making
a new production between Ash
Wednesday and Easter Monday, but
now there is nothing of special mo-
ment about such an undertaking. 1t is
true that in most theatrical employ
| ment contracts there still remains a
clause providing for half salaries the
week before Christmas and Holy
Week. The ante-Christmas paragraph
doubtless will remain for many years,
because at that moment the shops are
quite irresistible and their competition
is overwhelming. But we do not think
the section covering the final week in
Lent is destined for long life. AS the
theater becomes more and more widely
recognized as an entirely innocent and
harmless diversion, the Lenten objec-
| tions will become less and less strin-
gent"
| Often I have heard the remark, "All
the good things come to Los Angeles
in Lent; I just can't miss them" Suf-
| flee it to say the remark has been

widely varying religious convictions
that it has set me to thinking.
Los Angeles draws it's population
from many lands and numerous races.
While there are thousands in Los An
geleS who observe Lent, there are other
thousands who fail to put on sack
cloth and sprinkle ashes. Among those
who do observe Lent in many ways,
there are many who, when it comes
to choosing between breaking a reso-
luton or missing some truly worthy
production, self-denial loses the toss
and rightly.
Los Angeles is so situated geograph-
ically that several of the great theat-
rical stars appear here during the
forty days period. To miss a season
of grand opera or season of classic
drama presented by a master actor Is
to neglect ones education. Mind de-
velopment and soul culture are not SO
radically opposed. 1t seems to me
that to attend play which develops
the mind will not mar the soul, even
though the play happens to be seen
in Lent. Plays which amuse solely
or musical productions which have only
passing value I do not include in my
category of worthy Lenten offerings.
The work of one of Los Angeles brill
liant young women will be seen this
week when julius Steger appears at
the Orpheum .theater in Ruth Com
fort Mitchell's clever playlet, THE
WAY to the Heart" l know the tabloid
drama is clever because l know Miss
Mitchell. It will meet instant approval
i'm Los Angeles because julius Steger
refuses to preesnt anything except
playlets which appeal.

Law Allowing Children
on the Stage Urged

n ATHLETIC little creatures, aren't
they, these stage children, who
u appear behind the footlights to
be laughed at by men and women
seated comfortably in velvet chairs
Just little waits, forced to work for
ten or fifteen minutes a day for some
times as little as $25 a week; obliged
to wear good clothes and be sent to
bed as soon as their work is over;
compelled to study how to speak cor
rectly, how to take care of their health.
Some of them have only four or five
months vacation during the year, and
even during vacation time most of
them have to continue studying. And
their work is so hard, making believe
they are somebody else OF course,
children who are not on the stage like
to play at makebelieve. but they get
no salary for that sort of playing, and
hence they do not work and do not
come under the factory laws. Nor do
the little mothers" of the tenements,
who spend their playtime being
nurses to younger brothers and sisters,
without pay, OF course. Nor the little
girls and boys who help at the house
work and know how to sweep and
dust and make fires in broken stoves
and carry bags of coal from the base
ment shop to the top floor.
These children are not factory
workers" according to law, but in
four states the children of the stage
are, and they are protected to such an
extent that they cannot act at all.
And the result is that people in those
states cannot see plays in which chill
dren have a part. In Massachusetts,
if the decision of the supreme court is
taken literally there can be no chill
dren performers in Sunday school en-
tertainments, or in charity plays, or in
school exercises. Children simply can
not appear on a public stage, for such
appearance is work and subject to the
factory laws. which forbid a child un-
der certain age from engaging in any
employment that may in any way en-
danger its health.
H. b. Warner In "Alias Jimmy Val
entine," Francis Wilson in 'The
Bachelors Baby" Dustin Farnum in
Cameo Kirby" Mrs. Ffske in saliva
tion Nell" Margaret Anglin in THE
Awakening of Helena Richie" "The
Barrier" most of Lew Fields musical
productions and a number of other
PLAYS that have children in the cast
are now forbidden to appear in Bos-
ton. Chicago, Baltimore and New Or
leans, or in any other cities in Massa-
chusetts, Illineis, Maryland and Louis
lana. Child labor laws in these states
ostensibly for the purpose of protect
ing children against excessive work,
have been construed so as to discrim-
mate against children on the stage. To
present a play that requires child in
the company is now impossible in the
cities named, unless the manager
adopts the expedient of engaging
dwarf past the age limit for the child
role.
Francis Wilson is making an effort
to obtain some relief for the stage child.
He is directing his attention to the
Massachusetts law. He was booked to

Probably the most complete library of
dramatic works owned in America is
the property of Miss Blanche Walsh,
the great emotional actress. At her
estate at Woods Hole, Mass, she has
a part of her spacious reading rooms
set aside for the works of the old mas
ters ranging from the essays of Macau-
Law to the works of Ben Jonson, Shake
speare, Beaumont and Fletcher and the
disputed "talkalogues" of Bacon.
Holbrook Blnn has been engaged by
Harrison Grey Fiske to support Mrs.
Fiske in her coming season of plays.
He will have the part of Consul Ber-
nick in "Pillars of Society," Gottwald
in "Hannele" and Henri in 1.-THE Green
Cockatoo." This will make Mr.. Blinns
third season with Mrs. Fiske. He orig
mated the part of Jim Pratt in sal
walton Nell"
Lou Whitman, manager of the Star,
Hamilton, o., has conducted expert
ments in running moving pictures with
all the house lights turned on, and has
found that the plan works successfully.
Stage dogs generally are a good deal
like stage children-fussy, lively and
more or less impertinent Therefore,
it is a genuine treat to meet dog of
such character and common sense as
"Spareribs," who is a part of Claud
and Fannie Usher's serio-comic sketch
"Fagan's Decision at the Orpheum.
"Spareribs" has not a speaking part.
Neither can it be called an emotional
one Rather, his duties consist in
lying very still in Miss Usher's arms
and looking forlorn. He fulfills them.
There never was a more forlorn look
ing pup than Spareribs. Miss Usher
says she took him from the Chicago
dog pound. He looks il. His hair is
long, grizzled and tangled. So is his
body. 1t is thinner, however, than the

BY SHIRLEY OLYMPUS

nECENTLY I happened upon the
IL statement that Shakespeare is to
~ be read, not acted. Yes! Shakes
peare is to be read by all, and acted
by precious few. One of the precious
ones will appear at the Mason opera
house the coming week. Robert Man
tell is today one of the greatest ac-
tors, if not the greatest, on the stage
He combines mentality with histrionic
ability to the edification of the public
and the satisfaction of his pocketbook
He makes Shakespeare worth while
from the modern playgoers standpoint.
and does not read mystery into the
various characters he assumes. Take
his Hamlet, for instance. It is the
keynote of his reputation. This is so
because of his passionate clarity and
his utter refusal to rely upon fake"
mysticism and metaphysical absurdi-
ties. Mr.. Mantel's Hamlet" is one
for students who seek to learn, and
playgoerS who seek to be pleased. He
makes it an intensely human character
without the trimmings of mystery so
long associated with the melancholy
Dane. And so it is with the other
characters Mr.. Mantell portrays. They
are all human, all understandable, and
all worth cultivating. Mr.. MantellS S
acting is a living, positive proof that
Shakespeare is to be read by all and
acted by precious few.
William Winter. one of the few
dramatic critics whose opinion is worth
while, has declared Mantell to be the
one really great actor of the day. In
these days of types" on the stage it
is a satisfaction to know that one man
has the ability to run the whole gamut
of types and be great in all of them.
In each character one fancies one sees
Mantell, but it is only by seeing Man
tell as himself and as the other selves
he is master of, that one knows Man
tell really He is genius. To see
him Is to be educated; to miss him is
to let slip golden opportunity.
Announcement has been made by
Manager John Blackwood of the Bel,
asco theater that 1.-THE Man of the
Hour George Broadhurst's great
comedy drama of love and politics, will
be continued for another week. There
is a certain note of triumph in the
words, for few stock companies any
where are able to play one piece for
five weeks 1.-THE Man of the Hour"
has been thrice on the road and each
time has been witnessed by hundreds
of thousands. Still, Los Angeles has
not had enough of the comedy. There's
a reason for 1t. "The Man of the
Hour" sums up politics and life, gives
a keen insight into conditions met and
battled with by every man and woman
each day. 1t is nearly the great
American play" so all America wants
to see it. l strongly advise those who
have not seen 1.-THE Man of the Hour"
10 take the present opportunity, for
IL may be the last in many days to
come.
From the New York Review / take
the following editorial on Lent's wan
ing influence on the theater, because
Il seems to apply exactly to the situa-
tion in Los Angeles:

hair He is very mournful, Some
great grief seems to sit upon him.
Probably his folks lured him to the
dog-catcher. You couldn't blame 'em
not if you've seen Spareribs.
Kate Watson, Gus Cohen and their
company, which includes three other
comedians, will present at the Or
pheum shortly a one-act pastoral
called THE Hoosier Girl" In this
sketch Miss Watson introduces a new
character type which promises to be
as popular as isis Hopkins of Rose
Melville, while Gus Cohen as "Heiney"
from Germany furnishes a funny con-
trasting role. The action takes place
in Indiana and is brisk, interesting
and humorous.
There is not an actress on the
English speaking stage today who
knows more about the art of makeup
than Nine. Nazimova. Part of this
famous actress training in the Rus
sian conservatory was the mastery of
this subtle accomplishment. Nine
Nazimova, though one of the youngest
dramatic stars now before the public,
does not hesitate to efface her beauty
when the demand of the role calls for
such Disagreement.

ACTORS IN FAVOR
OF POSTAL BANKS

A new factor in the agitation for the
passage of law establishing a postal
savings. bank as branch of the
United States postoffice is being or
ganzed in every branch of the the
atrical business, through the action of
some of the leading actors of Amer
ica They have enlisted the support of
the managers who control about $780,,
900, 900 worth of property and engage at
least 900 employees.
Every manager in New York has had
a petition handed him for circulation
among the people under his guidance
with a summarization of the advan-
tages to be gained by postal savings
bank. 1t will enable actors to keep
their money in safe place when on
the road. Now, theaters have to keep
large sums of money on hand to meet
their payrolls, because it is next to
impossible for players on the road to
get checks cashed in some localities.
The petition which Cyril Scott left on
the writing desks of the Players" club,
the Lambs club, and every other point
of vantage, reads:
ITO the Congress of the United
States:
1--WE, the undersigned, engaged in the
theatrical business, desire to express
our interest in the Passage of Dill

an adjunct to the United States postal
service. Such a department would be

appear at a Boston theater in "The
| Bachelors Baby" but the decision of
the supreme court, handed down a few
weeks ago, and upholding the factory
| law as applied to children on the stage,
has made it necessary for his manager
to cancel the booking. He has prepared
petition to be circulated in Massachu-
setts, and to be sent to the state legis-
| lature, asking for a modification of the
| law. In his petition he calls attention
to the conditions the children find ON
| the stage. their easy hours, the light
work they have to perform, and the
good salaries they earn. The original
intention of the law, he says, was to
keep children from employment in fac
tories, mills and so-called sweat shops.
in which the physical and mental
strain to accomplish a desired result
was very great.
A hurried examination of the biog-
raphies of about 500 prominent actors
of the present generation shows that
about 10 per cent of those who have
achieved fame began stage life in ear
ly childhood. Maude Adams had a
speaking part at the age of 5. Lena
Abarbanell, the comic opera singer, be-
gan at the age of z; Mary Anderson
was only 16 WIN she made her first
appearance, and her studies for the
stage began four years earlier. julius
Arthur began acting at the age of IL,
Lillian Blauvelt, the singer, appeared
in public at the age of z; Holbrook
Blinn made his first appearance when
he was years old. Emma Carus was
only when she began her stage ca
reer, Joseph Cawthorne was 8, and
William Collier was 10. Rose Cogh-
Ian began to play child parts almost
as soon as she could speak, and Laura
Hope Crews began about as soon.
jefferson De Angels made his first
appearance when he was II and Henry
E. Dixey when he was 10. Eleanor
Duse, the famous Italian actress, was
a child of the stage, and has never
left it. Mrs. Fiske was 2 years old
when she was carried on the stage for
her first part, and as Minnie Maddern
she was a noted child actress. e. M.
Holland, the veteran character actor.
began as a baby; Elsie Janis started
her career at the age of s. Mrs. Ken
dal, the English actress, was a player
of child roles before she entered her
teens. William Seymour, Charles
Frohman's general stage director, was
an actor at the age of Z; Mabel Talia-
ferro was child actress; Fay Temple
ton was years old when she first APP
peared, and Fritz Williams was the
same age. Mrs. Annie Yeamans, who
is called the youngest actress on the
stage, began her long career when she
was but 10.
