Temperament Necessary
to Theatrical Success

There's a wise old saying that II you
give q dog a bad name ali the dead sheep
in the neighborhood will be laid at his
door, and certainly Temperament is that
dog In the theatrical world" declared
whitford Kane, of the Little Theatre
Company.
Artistic temperament has been made
synonymous, not only with temper, inn
morality and shiftlessness. but It has
also become black mark against every
player suspected Of possessing It. Yet,
without temperament an actor cannot
create a role
Temperament is just as necessary
is one's makeup. Of course, II
you're a pretty girl, or q 'devilishly
handsome man. and you play parts as
signed you because you look like that,
you can let temperament pretty much
go hang; but when you're in your early
thirties and you've got to look 60, or
when you've got to be an irascible old
man one week and Il hangdog young ono
the next, you've got to have tempera-
ment to help you change, not only your
looks. but your feelings"

Philadelphia Girls More
Beautiful Than English

'"The first thing noticed about Ameri.
can girls was their lovely complexions,"
said Ian Maolaren, who is playing Cap
tain Jack Absolute in THE Rivals" at
the Little Theatre, "of course one sees
lots of girls with their faces powdered
till they resemble nothing 80 much aa
the clown In a circus, but then you see
that Just as much abroad as here.
Especially in Philadelphia have been
struck by that youthful loveliness born
OF clear eyes and clean, fair skins.
"But II the Philadelphia girl is prettier
than her English sister, she certainly
has an English environment. have
never seen a city in America so like the
cities Of England as Philadelphia Is. 1t
has the same quiet dignity about It's
fashionable section; tho same air OF
CHEEKY hustle about It's business streets
quite different from those of New York
and Chicago, and in fact even its archi-
lecture is English. Although I have
Travelled from coast to coast In this
country and now claim to be an American

Foreign eachers of
Voice Mostly Fakes

IF young man or woman desiring a
musical career asked my advice, should
say don't go abroad to study singing. Stay
better. more honest, and will do more for
one. Thousands OF young Americans have
had their voices utterly ruined abroad. II
thoy had studied with some OF the many
superior instructors in this country or in
Canada they would be successful singers
today"
Miss Irene Pawlowska, tho JuliBlka OF
Henry w. Savages company in the
operetta "sari," now at the Forrest Thea
trs, returned last fall from three years
study abroad with emphatic opinions on
European teachers.
I'm tremendously glad to put myself
on record before young people planning
a course Of voice study, and I'll be happy
II can dissuado at least some OF them
from becoming victims OF the horde OF
charlatans in Paris. Berlin and Rome. who
prey and wax fat upon the misguided and
deluded folks who go to them as pupils.
Generally foreign teachers know Ab-
solutely nothing about placing the voice
or developing Its tone or quality. They
can coach you in songs, yes. Their value
stops right there. Indeed beyond that
they are positively harmful.
"A certain teacher whom have In
mind was a famous singer a few years
ago, and this country was wild about him.
He retired from the stage and now is
teaching in Paris. When he teaches he
stands at one side Of the pupil. watch in
hand, makes him run the scale three
times and sing one song. His only COM
ment IS Louder, louderH His iden Is
volume-noise. He strains voice. His
charge is $50 a lesson.
Another teacher with big reputation
under whom l studied told me after n
few lessons that he'd prepare me for
grand opera in three months. I knew that
was impossible, realized at once that he
was lnsincero, and gave him up.

girls have gone through this experience
and returned home pennileRB and with

American PLAYS Best

Despite their prestige and the number
OF really great playwrlghts, American
dramatists are generally better than the
English" declared Walter Howard, the
English aotor-author, who will play In
THE Story Of the Rosary" which will
open a two weeks engagement at the
Lyric Monday. 'tAmerican dramatists
write direct, strong, uncompromlsing
plays. Sometimes they may be crude;
sometimes fnesse and subtlety may be
missing, but strength humanity and the
essential dramatic elements are there.
THE fault of the British playmaker
Of today Is his overncety. Our London
| dramAtlsts write ladylke plays. They
would call a spade not spade, but a
rude Agricultural implement I do not
say that the British dramatist is effete
and balked by a false modesty. He is
actually afraid Of the essential emotions.
I'm London you can not placard a
melodrame ms a melodrama to get
proper audience. Our West End corre-
spends to your Broadway. We take such
admitted melodramas as Within the
Law for instance; but the word melo-
drama cannot be applied to them. Melo-
drama TO smart London is an Infinitely
worse word than 'bloody'-lt is vulgarity
Therefore, London takes melodrama- and
adores 1t, under various aliases"
Mr.. Howard is an ex-soldier. He was
born at stratford-on-Avon in tho Same
street as Shakespeares home. For IL
years he was in the British army, and
while in the army wrote his first play.
Tho actors of London" says Mr..
Howard, ''aro now doing constabulary
duty, between the hours of midnight and
4 a. M They are working. and at the
same time are devoting the only hours Of
leisure they have to their oountry's
service, watching public works, railways
and bridges"
'"The Story OF the Rosary" is said to
have an unusual interest at this time, its
plot and characters being suggestive of
the war now raging on the continent. 1t
tells OF the Red Dragoons call to the
front tho hasty marriage OF Captain
Paul Roman and Venetla Won SRbran,
tho disappearance of Paul. and his return
as his bride Is about to take the veil
Before the outbreak OF the European war
Mr. Howard and his company produced 1t
successfully in London, and in August
brought It to New York, where 1t WAS
staged as the first war play of the season.
Annie Saker and Alfred PaumIer viii,
enact the lovers roles. Mr.. Howards
part Is that OF Kari Larose friend OF
the hero. Ono hundred people will appear
on the stage, among the principals being
Chris Walker, as an old priest, and
George Desmond and Marjorie Day, as a
pair OF comic youthful lovers.

Nevertheless, while all subjects OF human

there is unquestionably a squeamishness
