Chances For Buried Genius.
The other members of the COM
pany don't get very positive re-
suits when they attempt to buck
the producing COMMUNICATION
they are likely to have a lot to
say. And it might be born in mind
that the comedian and character
people are Just as keen on getting
their parts to fit them as are the
leads. In fact many great actor
received his first dose of greatness
because somebody didn't like a part
assigned TO him as a character ac-
tor or comedian. II will be remem-
bered that the light of the immortal
genius of the late Richard Mans
field might have been forever hidden
under his bushel of eccentricities
had it not been for the fact that
Old Man Stoddard refused absolute
s y to p play fS the Part Of Bison Gney
Stoddard didn't think it was quite
good enough for him because he
was a well-known character actor.
Mansfield took it, and you've never
heard anything more about the
other people in the play.
But we'll suppose all Of the little

rarts are settled and rehearsals be-
gin in. earnest. Two or three weeks

very peculiar thing about rehearsals.
There never was a play written that
had all the acting directions properly
marked ont; there never was a play
written that was acted as the at
ing directions w.Ie mariEe'' and the
never was Z play produced that was
produced exactly like il was written.
You see, all sorts of things hap
pen during the course of a rehearsal
to give an entirely new meaning to
a line or situation-meanings that
sometimes are far from what the IL
thor intended. And II has happened
that these accidental situations or
meanings have been SO important
that the whole play was changed SO
that the accident became the chief
feature Of it and the thing that the
author intended the play to be was
entirely forgotten in the shuttle.
All this means work of the hardest
sort for the actor and the manager
ard the author. The business of
staging a play-of creating the back
ground against which the actors are
to pafnt the authors word pictures,
is also a vital thing. The verS
color Of the background is vital.

Hazel Dawn is to be the star. and which
is TO have an early production at the
National Theater the coming season. Is
completed. Harry B. Smith has written
the book Robert B. Smith has furnished
the lyrics. and Victor Herbert the mu-
sic. The combination between Victor
Herbert and Harry B. Smith is one that
has always brought success. and pros
poets are correspondingly rosy for Miss
Dawn's first starring vehicle. The first
time that they elaborated was when
they wrote The Wizard OF the Nile"
for Frank Daniels.
