TOP O HE MORNING
The Washington herald., 1913-01-12
MR.. E. M. NEWMAN WORKS
HARD TO SECURE PICTURES

That there is a great deal more to the
life Of a traveller and a lecturer than
,, ''Just travelling around and seeing
things" would quickly be demonstrated
to the skeptic after five minutes con-
versation with Mr.. E. NJ. Newman, the
traveller and lecturer, who will begin a
series OF new traveltalks at the Columbia
Theater tonight.
Mr.. Newman makes most of his tours
in a motor car, and aside from the
difficulties OF poor roads, &C.. that this
method Of transportation carries with IL,
there are innumerable obstacles to be
overcome. First, there is the customs
and passport question. which is always
aggravating to the traveller.
Motion picture photography is very IN
certain and ofttimes II is necessary to
take the same subject two or three times
before a satisfactory negative Is secured.
Every evening is spent in developing the
negatives-still and motioa-taken during
the day, and the next morning they start
out bright and early again on the same
endless quest. They climb trees and
towers: Chamber up the roofs Of houses
and do other gymnastics in order to
get just the desired view.
And there are always arguments and
requests to be made for permission to
photograph persons or objects which are
forbidden to the casual tourist-Mr. New
man even goes so far as to ask for the
intercesson of our own Department of
State with those OF foreign countries
IN securing permission to photograph
buildings and their interiors which would
otherwise be impossible.

is 1.-THE GOVERNORS LADY"
APORTRAIT FROM REAL LIFE!

Alice Bradley, the author Of The
Governors Lady which William Elliott
and David Belasco will present at the
New National Theater next week. has
received so many letters inquiring wheth-
er the character of Mary Slade is not
a portrait OF the wife of one of our ex-
Presidents that she has been Obliged to
prepare the following statement in the
form of a circular letter which is now
being mailed to all such curious theater-
goers:
THE character Of Mary Slade. while
il is transcript from life. is not in any
sense a photograph of any one woman.
Least of all is it a portrait of the charm
ing and gentle lady who once was mis-
tress Of the White House. It is, on the
contrary, a composite OF many charm
ing and gentle ladies, some of whom I
have met in real life. in kitchen or in
parlor, some only in fireside dreams. This
composite. half realistic. half idealistic.
represents to me at least the typical
American woman, and to whom the lavish
display of wealth and empty social con-
quest are beyond comprehension. II the
distinguished lady had Mary Shades dis
like for all this sham, II is merely a
matter OF coincidence. nothing more"

full line of plain and fancy laughs, will

mas Day in A lonely village of the Mid

the sweetness and beauty of a charming
Young lady. Through her, he learns that
she is about TO lose a tract of land. and

worthless real estate. but which has re-
Gently assumed considerable value, as it
is needed by the railroad company to

Karl Hewitt, a comedian of wide ex-
perience. who plays Bob Blake, the drum
mer, and Nera wssworth, who essays

National-"Tbe Governors Lady,
II has been maintained in New York
that for marvellous stagecraft Mr.. David
Belasco has never done anything more
striking than The Governors Lady,
which he will present at the National
Theater next week in association with
Mr.. William Elliott. The cast and pre-
duction on this occasion will be exactly
as during the long run at the Republic
Theater.
1t has been said Of 1.-THE Governors
Lady, that Alice Bradley, its author.
has written with a pen that was almost
Photographic. and the audience has the
sense of intimate association with The
characters in the play.
Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Belasco picked for
the various parts men and women capa-
HE of carrying out this idea of the play.
These include Emma Dunn, whose por-
trayal of Mrs. Slade is destined to be-
come a stage classic: Emmett Corrigan,
than whom no actor in America could
make more of the part Of the American
millionaire with its tremendous punch
and vitality; Gladys Hanson, Teresa
Maxwell-Conover. Milton Sills, S. X.
Walker, William II. Tooker, John H
Wheeler, and thirty others.
