NationaI-FannIe Ward in ''Mad-
am President"

One of the successes Of the past sea-
son in New York was the French farce
comedy Madam President" with Fannie
Ward as the star, which Is to be pre-
sented at the National Theater tomor-
row evening.
Six countries have enjoyed Madam
President" First Paris laughed over it
for a year. and then for a like period
Berlin added her plaudits. To clinch the
success Vienna next took the play to
its bosom and Italy followed suit when
it was presented in Milan. They fol-
lowed the New York run and the sim
ultaneous presentation in London.
Everywhere il was acclaimed a success,
and Miss Ward was accorded the palm
as the best Gobette who ever essayed
the leading role. So Madam President"
has the unique distinction of having been
a success in six countries and in four
languages.
Two Of the best known dramatists in
France Maurice Hennequin and Pierre
Weber, are the authors of the play. The
play revolves around GObette. Paris
ian actress who finds herself in the
home of the president of the little French
town of Gray, where under the most nat
ural circumstances she is mistaken for
the Presidents wife. She bewitches the
minister of justice who comes to pay
an official call on the President. and later
in Paris the complications come thick
and fast.
Miss Ward, it has been stated, has in
the part of Gobette the best role Of
her career In her endeavOrs she is
seconded by the same company that con-
tributed to the success of the play in
New York These include such we'll
known players as W. J. Ferguson, Harry
J. Ashford, John w. Dean, Amy Lee,
Jack J. Herwitz. George Brennan,
Charles Latte, William Lewis Reynolds

which the play takes its title. a Ques-
ton in the minds of many students Of

marily with the deepest Instincts Of
men and women. Those who are familiar

BRIEF HISTORY OF
AMERICAN THEATER

One hundred and sixty-two yeaEs ago
the first theater in the United States
was opened in the Colony Of Virginia, at
old Williamsburg, says an exchange. The
originator was an English actor. VIII
liam HaIlam, sr., who brought his own
company from over seas and presented =
The Merchant OF Venice as the initial
performance. The idea spread rapidly.
and soon New York, Philadelphia and
the other leading communities of CO.
loniaI America each had their theaters.
While the VIrginisn playhouse was the
first in the United States, actors had
played in the colonies before this date.
The first is said to have been the EnEJ
Iish stroIlinG player, Anthony Ashton,
who was known as Mat Medley. The
actor and his art OF that day were gen.
orally despised by the pHritanical colon-.
lists. The Massachusetts legislature
passed a law shortly after amateurs had
given THE Orphans" at the Coffee House
in Boston in lT59 which forbade such
performances, prescribing a penalty for
actors and spectators alike at 20 sterling
each.
The opposition in Philadelphia was 80
great that Hallam was compelled to
build his theater in 1T5O outside OF the
pute and known as Southwark, or So
ciety Hill. Even then vigorous Efforts
were made to close the theater. petit
ton was addressed to Judge William Al
len, who refused to act. declaring that
he had obtained stronger moral lessons
from attending the theater than from
Fany sermon he had heard in church.
Today the theatrical profession is
huge industry in which more than Sloo-
90 90 is invested There are in the
United States more than 5000 theaterS.
not Acounting the 5000 or more moving
picture theaters, circuses and halls for
general entertainment. II has been esti-
mated that during a good theatrical year
there are more than 5000 actors and-
actresses. ,
I One of the modern features OF the pro
fession is the travelling companies, OF
which there are nearly 1000. The esti-
mated value of the $500 theaters is near
