It was the cold, calculating nature that l
inherited from my bourgeoise father that
helped me in my decision.
The actress, Tor instance, who learns by
rote how to take the part of an ingenue Is
invariably given that part, even after she
has become a grand mother! The artistic of
the music hall never plays the same part
for more than week at time, and perhaps
does not play that part twice the same way
And yet each presentation must be one that
wins her audience.
There are many sides to the question as to
which is the greater actress the music hall
artistic or the flesh and blood puppet of the
stage. The actress, so called, looks down on
the actress of the music hall. She considers
herself more important in every way, and,
alas, the world agrees with her as rule.
The music hall artistic is considered decasse

more responsibility, but we of the halls have
more art and of the two / prefer the last.

The artistic of the halls has a greater charm
and fascination for the masculine sex than
the ordinary actress Of the stage. Look at
the ease with which these artistes have
walked away with the dukes and lords OF
England. The merry little sprite of the
small stage makes the stifiointed puppet Of
the large stage look like-er-what you
would call thirty cents, one franc and half
And why? Is it because we make much
money? Non non. 1t is because we are such
thorough artistes. We know how to inter
oret a mans moods as well as our parts
We know how to portray emotion because
we make ourselves feel emotion. We do not
weep crocodile tears, but real salt tears.
We are not artificial We are not given our
parts by a director and told how to play

~ ROFESSOR WILHELM Won LIGHT
ENSTEIN, of the University of Ber-
hin, has discovered why villains and
"villainesses" on the stage and in fiction
are always dark complexioned, with lus-
trous raven tresses, and why in art all
angels are blonde.
Professor Won Lichtenstein starts right
out by saying that there is gruond for the
first belief but none for the second. All
angels may be blonde, but all blondes are
not angels.
In the earliest ages man associated all
malign powers with darkness, says the
Professor. It was in darkness that the
cave tiger sprang upon him and in the
darkness that the enemy sought him IN
his rocky lair And so he gradually grew
to think of evil as darkness. Conversely
it was in daylight that he was most Sc
cure. The yellow sun, blonde luminary,
brought him warmth, comfort and life
So the primitive mind shaped the belief
that evil things we're dark-brunettes, and
that good things we're light-blondes.

MY good friend George Bernard Shaw
MI and I have. oh, so many heart talks
Ava over the stage as it is to-day. He
is a very great cynic. He says to me that
the modern play is no good. Then to prove
his point he writes a play that l say is no
good, the public pulls it to pieces, but goes
to see it just the same. l do not know which
is the funniest, the public or my friend Ber
nard Shaw
/ do not agree with the temperamental
Monsieur Shaw, as we French call him.
Non, non, it is not the play but the players
who are wrong. l am sure that / am right,
and ! am sure that you will agree with me
and not my cynical friend. l speak not from
cynicsm, not from bad digestion, but from
an intimate knowledge of the stage and its
people
We have never gotten away, you see, from
the marionette age. Our first actors were
wooden puppets, who were pulled and Jerked
about by strings. They were the jumping
jacks, the Punch and Judys, Of the stage.
They wept, danced smiled and kissed to
order. How CHASTITY! Think of making love
to order! Pouf, never could do it,
And yet the actor and actress, most OF
them, have never gotten away from this
puppet age. The manager pipes and his men
dance and his women sing to his piping.

Forbes-Robertson
Bids Goodbye
BY Beau Rialto

/ written for the United Press.)
| New York. Oct. lit was a gala
night when Sir Johnston Forbes-Rob-
ertson. the eminent English actor,
appeared at the New Shubert theatre
in West Forty-fourth street. 1t was
the dedication of the new playhouse,
built as a memorial to the late Sam
S. Shubert, and at the same time the
beginning of the end for the great
actor. With his wife, Gertrude Ell
liott, and a company of twenty-five
English players, Forbes-Robrtson will
play a season in New York, then tour
the east and retire from the stage for
all time, so he says. He bade goodbye
to the British theatergoers at the
Drury Lane in London last spring,
and it was a memorable occasion.
His New York farewell was just as
impressive.
Forbes-Robertson's opening bill was
Hamlet" and he scored tremendous
hit. His Hamlet" this time had what
it lacked when he played the part here
several years ago. Just what it lacked
then and has now is indefinable, intaa-
gible, elusive, but it is very noticeable.
1t is the quality that he put into "The
Passing of the Third Floor Back y
Personal magnetism, charm, call il
what you will, it was Forbes-Robert-
sons genius that made The Passing
of the Third Floor Back" a great play.
In the lines there was little. Plot
there was none. But it was an extra
ordinary play because of the actors
personality. He put the same touch
in his Hamlet" this time and redeem
ed it from the mediocre.
Broadway has seen many "Hamlets'
from Booth and Sir Henry Irving
down to Eddy Foy and it takes some
Hamlet" to make a splash on the
Rialto. Forbes-Robertson splashed!

among the four, have definitely turn

According to Golfers, which re-

tfirty-four states have ratified the in

constitution and two more states must
ratify it, in order that the necessary
three-fourths be secured to make the

able assistance. Chancellor Edward
I. Walker and Judge Bennett Van

These bills seek to prevent monop-

mergers, holding companies and stock
watering. Violation is made punish

The proposed laws are intended for
