SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT :
Was That of Summer Stock Company Here Which
Played to Crowded Houses Almost Three Months.
Due to Intelligent and Talented Actors.

| The truth Is that If one cared to
make study of stage art, or what is
SO termed, they might do SO with some
profit to themselves by an attendance
on continuous presentations of this
sort.
Type" in dramatic art nowadays is
considered to the exclusion of versa
tility and therefore we have very few
actors or actresses of what is called
, note who are at all convincing save
in some character fitted to their per-
sonality.
! Instead of adapting the personality
to the impersonation depicted, the pro.
cess is reversed.
So that some celebrities could not
possibly stand the severe discipline of
the stock company, even that in Rich
mond, Indiana.
| 1t is to be doubted, indeed, If any
general purpose" actor could be found
in the support of even leading stars
who could exceed Mr.. Jack Darlington
| of the Lewis Players in adaptability
and finesse in the Interpretation OF
roles which embodied almost every
phase of the emotional scale
Mr.. Darlington possessed genuine
humour and a gift of burlesque that
might be envied by more celebrated
comedians.
On the other hand he could, on oc
casion, hit an emotional high spot
with precision and effect, as in Ca
mile"
An actor who could impersonate
with positive verisimiltude the char
acter of the drunken old Irishman in
a certain play called woman Against
Woman"-and which was, of itself, a
Grass thing-with as exquisite an ap
probation of this roles humours, and
could also play Armand" in Ca
, mile" with as much romantic appeal
must be made of some good Theatre
stuff.
And between these two extremes in
terpret a variety of roles, both telling
and insignificant, with the skill with
which this actor invariably lent to any
impersonation, either strong or banal
Mr. Darlington, in short, was an
intelligent, versatile, attractive and
skillful actor, and would be so at any
time and on any stage, and his return
to this city would be heralded with
pleasure.
| The part of a villain is not pleas
ant one to play
! That is in so far as the color of the
response from the audience is con.
cerned
Mr.. Edwin Wolcott, an excellent
actor whose interpretations were has
ed on sound theatric tradition and pre-
cedent, therefore, did not elicit from
his auditors those indications of appre
citation which are an actors supposed
impetus toward accomplishment
But, in truth, the better a character
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1912-08-21

of this sort is interpreted the more de-
testable does its medium become, SO
that an actor finds himself in the
anomalous position of being damned
in direct ratio to his merits.
In a company of this sort one actor
generally plays what are termed in
stage parlance 1.-The heavies."
And this fell to the lot of Mr.
Wolcott
Naturally in the playing down that
most companies do, or think they
must do, and indeed, really have to do
at times, to their audiences, they must
do violence to their own theatric
ideals and their knowledge of its more
occult practices. So given the most
favorable conditions, thespians who
appear to disadvantage because of
these considerations may measure up
to a degree of dramatic altitude un.
believable
Mr. Lewis who appeared here few
weeks earlier in the summer and again
later, playing in the meantime
with his other company in Colum.
bus, Ohio, with much success, has
certain pronounced dramatic values.
Essentially light comedian, Mr.
Lewis was invariably effective in ro
mantle roles which he interpreted
with much deftness and appeal, having
of singular timbre.
This actor, in short, possessed what
might be termed a temperamental
voice.
And a stage finesse which carried
, conviction in it's lower and middle
artistic registers, if it could so be put
rather than in it's higher.
Mr.. Lewis is, indeed, an actor OF
definite, if not exactly placeable, tai
ents and gives tang to his presen
tations because of their uncertainty
of Interpretation.
Of Miss Mabel and Miss Flora Frost
much has been said here. But toe
much emphasis cannot be placed on
the value of personality in the theat
ric art of these two very fne young
women
That they were capable, intelligent
and charming actresses could not be
gainsayed.
But neither could it be denied that
their special individual qualities did
not dignity their art. Rare, indeed
do you find this combination and its
value to stage art and life is meal
culable.
The Lewis Players, in short, have
given this city much pleasure and en-
tertainment throughout the summer
and their departure is regretted by al
classes.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.
An interesting theatrical experiment

An interesting theatrical experiment
was made here this summer.
A stock company was put on in the
vaudeville house at the same prices,
namely ten and twenty cents, to see
how long it would be patronized
That this met with extraordinary
town.
Since the paucity of entertainment
here causes everyone to drift into the
Murray in the course of things.
Although the company catered to
the alleged ten ind twenty cent ellen.

quent in these audiences-it put on
good plays and had in it's caste sew.
eral excellent actors.
BY good is meant not ten-twenty
cent good" but good" under any
theatric circumstance.
But the long run of this company
almost three months-was significant
chiefly because it demonstrated the
hold straight theatres has on the av
erage public.
1t is, and will always remain SO, the
truth that "the plays the thing"
Not in it's ordinary acceptation.
That is, that the play-not the actor
is the meat of a dramatic perform
ance.
But the greater one, which, being
interpreted, means that the play is
the form of dramatic entertainment
which has the widest and most direct
appeal.
This is more or less easily explained
by the love of everyone for the spec
tacle of reflection of life.
"The passion for acting" is almost
universal.
And that is the reason that, given
certain conditions, theatrical com
pany can run almost indefinitely.
For, as animadverted upon here al
sundry times and for various reasons
you may see as good acting in theat
RIGS of this character as in those high
er up"
For it takes a versatility many a
type" actor does not possess to learn
two roles each week and interpret
them successfully, which means intel
igently, If not brilliantly.
During their stay here the members
of the Lewis company were put
through their theatric PAGES. For two
plays week for twelve weeks makes
twenty-four roles for each, and, in
some instances, these people doubled
and even tripled their roles, in one
case, that of Mr.. Coyle, who played
three parts in one play, doing so with
amazing verisimilitude.
