rod and gun are again called into play
MI Dill considers this the healthiest and
most beneficial way Of spending vacation
and his looks are evidence Of his wisdom
Mr.. Dill is known as the father OF cor
poratfons. having had, it is said, a. part
In the incorporation OF about seven hun
dred giant enterprises He was also re-
sponsfble for the present New Jersey law
regarding corporations. which nets th9
state more than S2.O0O,OO9 in revenue each
year This familiarity with the inner
workings OF corporations and the laws
affecting them has made Mr.. Dill a most
vaIuab bic member of New Jerseys highest
court
Mr.. Dill was born az Spencerport. N ",
on July ., 1S54- His father was the Rev
James H Dill, who at the time OF the
Civil War was pastor OF the South Con-

he was graduated in 1878 He was an active
trial lawyer for fifteen years. when he gave
special attention to the study OF corpora

has been recognized as an authority on it
ever since He is the author Of several
books-"DilI on New Jersey Corporations"
q treatise on the banking laws OF New
Jersey. and a number OF other publiea~
topics.
As q corporation lawyer Mr. Dill did
two notable things which brought 10 hils
considerable fame One was the ineeTpor-
alton of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, for which he is said 10 have received
a fee OF s1.000.oso; the other was the bring

stage people are willing TO confess that
Pinero taugh. them how to act and has
been entirely responsible for the successes
they have achieved.
The secret Of his practical knowledge of
stage craft Is that for about ten years
Pinero was an actor. He played Meynard
In The Corsican Brothers." and many
other parts as wel1 IN Sir Henry Irving
company at the. famous Lyceum Theatre in
London. During that time he realized an
actors need for explicit directions and he
learned how to give them And this is the
pith of the secret Of how he Is able TO
transport his control across an ocean with
cut coming here himself. His revised
prompt book Is almost unmistakaeie, every
detail Is so clearly interpreted by descrip-
ton. And the phrasing OF the spoken parts

the proper emphasis.

And how is It for the actors? Hardly a

dreadful nuisance at rehearsals. constantly

impractical ideas
Louis Calvert who is accepted both on
this side of the sea and in London as an
actor of distinction, declares that P1nero
has taught many actors how to act and that
these people, having made a hit through
taking his suggestions. feel nothing but ad-
niration and gratitude for him.
Often Pinero leaves his seat in the audi

And another notable scene where tbs
most careful team work is required Is
found at the end OF the third act after

Pinero during a rehearsal lives and
breathes every character OF a play, even
the women. So minute is his understanding
of how to express a woman's emotions and
the finer shadings of her character that he
has often left the women of the stage
breathless as they watched him.
Of the art of speaking he is master
AN actor" he declares, ''can be inter
esting or uninteresting often for no other
reason than that his voice is or is not cor
rectIy pitched

necessary, and he has an ear for distinctive
ness in voice pitch.
IF the tone OF voice is monotonous or
dull" he explains. lit fails to arrest the at
tention of the hearer. If it has pitch and
character il makes itself felt at once.
Many a time an actor has tried, especially
in comedy giving Pinero's voice pitch IN
some phrase one night and omitting it the
next and has found that with 1t he gets
the laugh or the affecting silence or the
tears he wants from the audience, and
without il he does not.
