TTE sat forward on the e1-
treme edge OF his chair
during the whole interview,
and looked the picture of
sincerity. Gray hair mixed with
black broad forehead, wide set
eyes, a rather thin Tipped hut firm
and kindly mouth, and an opennesss
OF expression which would have mis-
led William J. Burns, all promised an
easy road for the interviewer.
But that slightly protrudjnE lower
jaw hadn't been noticed, and David
Warfield's famous little twisty smile
on the right side was not at first
recogniked as the forepanner Of an
impulsive laugh betokening a very
keen sense of humor.
1t took nearly all Of one hour to
escape from his rapid fire exaInina,
ton. and to extract a few statements
from him relative to the stage In
general and himself.
Because 80 per cent Of the time was
spent In describing exactly What
kind OF an Impression he had made
in the role Of the Flying DEtchman,
Van Der Decken," in which he Is
appearing for the first time on any
stage this week. ~

ions, for any expression OF opinion
OF his new role" from anyone who
has liked him as either "rhe Music
Master Simon Levi in The Auc-
tioneer," or "Peter Grimm"
= 1t was only a master stroke that
made it possible to get a statement
from him concerning his opinion Of
what the stage should be.
"Of course, you know that people
feel that they own you and want you
to appear in the roles which are ia
n1iliar to them?" was hazarded.
That's just II, you KNOW he
added eagerly. II want to know
whether or not they will like me as
