After the matinee which was given IN
honor of Cyril Maude by kiaw u
Granger at the New Amsterdam
Theatre Mr.. Maude discussed the theat-
riCal mctamorphosis of the legitimate
comedy into "A musical comedy.
Il have never produced a comedy In

night during the song about the old
mill. II is perhaps not fat 10 say that
Miss Seymour would fall asleep sud-
denly. She does nothing suddenly. II
Is quite inconceivable that she should.
But as to the question ~ the young
woman Of rcpose let us hear the evil
dence.
Don't You say that learned re-
pose" said Miss Seymour. Everything
do on the stage is natural and is the
result of my training from childhood"
Miss Seymour has made "a hit In the
part OF Linda in the Gaiety Theatre

which George Edwardes sent over TO
the Forty-foNth Street Theatre. Miss
Seymour IL "a perfect type OF what is
known the world over az tn, London
"Gaiety girl She is tall beautiful
healthy looking and athletic. She has
been on the stage for about three years.
having made her debut in the chorus of
the Gaiety Theatre. from which she
was picked out by Edwardes himself
and given small part In one of the
Gaiety shows Miss Seymour was
brought up in private schools in Eng
land and in France, and n great deal
of her tim. was devoted to outdoor
sports. She is an expert at golf and IA
great rider and swimmer. During her
stay in New York She has been kept
busy at the theatre and she feels regret
at not having opportunity for outdoor
exercises she Is used to In London.
This is Miss Seymour's story. But
every story has two sides.
Gals of the company to a Sun reporter
''is an example Of the attention that
George F.dwardos gives To- the girls IN
the company at the Gaicty Theatre In
London. He saw that she Was destined
To he one of the popular members Of the
company. Tie knew that she could bet
ter than anybody else represent the Sc
rene, respectful type OF English beauty
that he was seeking.
$50 Miss Seymour was kept for two
years in small roles, always told to be
very. very quiet. not even smile too
much. and above all not to be excess
sively vivacious. She was not even to
smile too broadly, only opening her
mouth TO smile little In all these de-
tails Miss Seymour was trained to rep
resent the quiet type of English beauty
she so well incarnates."

way In which she acquired her ropose
Miss Seymour talked on other subjects

mary purpose Of supplying the man

rlays. it would be an undcniable ad-
vantage H. present our social organi-
cations to a somewhat less hardened
gaze than that which N present ig-
nores SO much that is characteristic
In our life. 1t may not In possible to
bring into existence what Lady Gregory

gifted genuewoEan would have every
state maintain its special theatre for
the production of plays relating to its
life. In view of the present abil-

If they produced the formless II racy

sophisticated theatrical taste would

II Lady Gresorys plan does exag-
gerate the idea there Is nevertheless
temporary blindness to the traits
OF national character existing in the
various parts of this country. 1t has
been long time since any playwright
aas put into his work the contrasts that
exist between the citizens Of one part
OF this country and the other. Angus
tus Thomas found the peculiarities
Of the Southern temperament a most
inspiring theme. and until he had
touched it so magcaIly in Alabama"
and later in "Col. Carter it had been
practically ignored by his predecessors
for years. II was the sectional traits
that the first of our native writer's
for the stage seized on. They found
inspiration In the sharpness of the
Yankee. the gayety and responsibility
OF the negro, the tragedy in the life OF
the creoles and the roughness of West

our writer's for the stage.
Yet this was an elementary manner
OF taking advantage Of what our coun-
try offered. Subtler differences should

II may be that a foreign eye would
gaze more interestedly on these diff
ferences In our people. So Mr.. Froh-

be stimulating TO our theatre. The sort
