If his presence was welcome to Hol- comb the appearance of Vavin was more than soothing to the troubled Dora. Judge Elliott had been invited to breakfast. and vavin was shown into the dining room and asked to join them.

 "I do want your advice" said Dora.
 The opposition party exchanged un- easy glances.

 "But I don't think it's fair for you to advise" began Judge Elliott.

 "I don't think be really is French man," said Graham as Dora and her friend went into the library and closed the door behind them. "I think he is just a medieval German devil. What was that he said to you, judge, about your not looking well? I think he has the evil eye"

Lud- low, who fs the leading man, is said to be the best leading man in America, and everybody says that he knows more about acting than MT. Holcomb.

 The old man leaned over and studied her childish face.

tial men of the modern stage, he had a deep feeling that the whole thing was all wrong and that, while 1t was splendid as a protest, it was anaemic in its preachment. The red blood of romance seemed to him more warrant cd to cure the ills that obsessed the naturalist, though he had frequently to repeat in the numerous controver- sies in which he engaged that he knew that much that had passed as romance was purely ignorance; also that the naturalist had done a great deal to check those tendencies that led n Lucia to go mad to dance music or a nation to sing Nearer. My God, to Thee" to a descending musical phrase or a hero in the throes of a third act to stand out in the middle of a crowded thoroughfare and tell his troubles and secrets, while villainy, ever careless, stalks by to drop con- veniently 'the papers" where they are most needed.
 In this his fourth written play and the first to be produced Holcomb had come nearer to a drama with a thesis than he had ever expected to come. There was still satisfying glow of romance over 1t when the play was accepted, but little by little, protest as he might. he was obliged to make changes that made his work the very opposite of his intention.
 Dora had appeared at rehearsal promptly on Tuesday, and this fact, coupled with her apparent happiness, braced Holcomb for what was already trying ordeal. He had made some suggestions for changes in the cast. but the management had its own not particularly high minded reasons for tnfiicting On him absolutely incompe- tent people. and, to make matters worse, Ludlow. who had been his friend, seemed to take a special de- light in thwarting him and letting the performance down frequently. Play ing opposite to Dora as he did, the leading man seemed to get particular pleasure out of annoying Holcomb by being just a shade too familiar with the young lady. Despite all this, the rehearsals moved fairly rapidly, and they were ready for production three weeks after they had started. To add to Holcomb's troubles, however, it had been decided against his better judg-
 nent and fervent pleadings to open flat in New York city.
 He had been an actor long enough to
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-12-06

on matters that were considered their departments.
 He had intended to run through the play act by act without interrupting. His plan was to make notes as they went along of such changes as he de- sired and have the corrections made when the act was finished. The two managers who had the final say in all matters had a different method, and these, aided by costumers, a so called expert on lights, the scene builder and an oficious consulting playwright, dragged the first act along until o'clock.
 There was a pause for coffee and sandwiches before the tired company and a few faithful auditors, scattered about the darkened auditorium, enter ed on the second act. At the conclu- sion of this part of the play HolcOmb, to add to his other troubles, saw that Ludlow was giving an entirely differ ent interpretation of the part from that which the author had intended. h. stead of making the young lover that he played fresh. romantic creature of circumstance, Ludlow was endow- ing him with all the sinister qualities that made his own off the stage char acter interesting if not healthy. He had interrupted the actor time and time again to ask him to get back to the original key and had always been answered with a polite and some times mOckinp YeS Sir' but had Suc- ceeded in making no change. Dora, too. he had been obliged to criticise, for she seemed to be taking Ludlow's cue.
 When, therefore. the two came to their "big lovemaking scene'' in the third act Holcomb completely lost con- trol of himself As he looked back at it afterward he knew that he had done wrong, but he excused himself on the ground of the nervous tension under which he had been working and the fact that this particular scene as in- terpreted by Dora meant even more to him than did his play
 Not only did they give the speeches that they delivered character that he had never thought of. but they intro duced ''bits of business" which were to him repulsive interpolations.
 "Stop it." he shouted in the middle of their scene, jumping from his seat and rushing down the aisle. "Stop it. for Gods sake. The whole thing is damnably vulgar! What do you 1leang?" And then directing his words

know that at least three or four per formances outside of the metropolis were necessary for an adequate pres entation of a play, at least on the part of the actors. Only those who have come in intimate contact with the spectacle can appreciate the over wrought and hysterical attitude that the average actor takes toward his first appearance in New York. For some reason the majority of the man. agers encourage this high strung at- titude. explaining their belief in 1t by the statement that the actor gives a better performance when he Is in a hysterical condition than when he is calm. Actors themselves have gone so far as to say that an actor who has all his selt possession on the first night is not endowed with genius.
 Dora had been stopping with Mrs. Winthrop, whose son, having complet- ed his wanderings, was taking his amatory defeat with a new calm. Mrs. Winthrop had done everything pos sible to make Dora happy, and at her suggestion Holcomb invited Mrs. Win throp, her son and Judge Elliott to be present at the dress rehearsal which was to begin on Sunday night. Had Holcomb been in charge absolutely the play would have progressed very smoothly, for even with his limited experience he had definite ideas of what he wanted and a gift for ex- pressing them precisely. Being a young author, however, his authority was limited purely to the lines and the actors, while almost an entire regi

He had a re- markable sense of characterization for a man 50 young, and this had ire quently led him into subtle literary phrases which evoked the praise of people for whose opinion he really had no particular regard, but who had all the judicial quality which comes from having been we'll grounded-or appar- ently grounded-in what are called in collegiate circles the Fundamentals. And this had once led the young man to say sharply at an after dinner spread of oratory-a sphere in which he shone with distinction-that the trouble with the Fundamentals of the collegiate education was that they so frequently made of the fundamentals of life a sort of crust, a necessary meringue that had to be accepted in order to gid ones true knowledge.
