fully.
"She may be what she likes in real
life When she goes on the boards
she must follow the dramatic laws"
What are the dramatic lawsT
THE one that especially pertains to
this theme is that the leading lady |
must be desperately in love with the
leading gentleman"
Doesn't the leading gentleman have |
to be desperately in love with the
leading lady too?"
Certainly, but l can't see how he
can act his part to advantage If he
thinks she doesn't know whether she
loves him or not. Besides, her uncer-
tainty would spoil the play. At the
last minute. when the audience is ex-
pecting to see her run out of this door,
fit along the piazza to the porte-co-
chere, to run away with the leading
gentleman. she might be descending a
ladder at the back window to make off
with the villain. That would make a
pretty mess of it,
How ridiculousp'
II should think so.''
"Why" she asked after a pause.
couldn't the heroine be photographed
first running along the piazza to get
into a car with the hero and then de-
scending ladder from a back window
to run away with his rival? Then dur
ing the performance she could make
up her mind which suitor she wanted.
: and the scene to correspond with her
decision could be used. When l read
. a story or see play l never like to
: know which way it's going to turn
Q much more interesting my way than
j the other way. The audience wouldn't
A know who was going to win"
Mr.. Fielding's eyes were bent on
a Miss Meriweather's face with Ill con-
cealed wonder while she promulgated
a this suggestion. When she had fin
ished she looked up at him and, not
ing his expression, asked him what

and gave his coat a hitch, as If to re

"Sit down." said Miss Meriweather
