MANSFIELD AS AN ACTOR.
His Genius Enabled Him to Turn Bad
Parts into Good Ones.

We were to open lew theater In
Panton street, which was not ready,
so we were transferred to the Roy
atty. Mansfield was young man
then, about twenty-four, I should say.
He was practically unknown. He
soon began to shine at rehearsal.
His part was that of an old, beau. J.
G.. Taylor was to play a certain wait
er. The play was an adaptation from
the French. Farnie was the adapter,
with no pride of authorship, SO he
allowed Mansfield a good deal of lib
erty in the way Of Interpolation and
business. Day by day the part of the
old beau was built up, especially in
Taylor's scenes, until Mansfield's part
assumed the proportions Of a leading
character and Taylor's part, which
was the principal comedy part Of the
play, faded away into the back
ground. We all began to take notice
Of Mansfield and to perceive that his
character was going to be the part
of the play.
One day Taylor rebelled. He told
Farnie and Alexander Henderson, the
manager Of the theater, that he was
the leading comedian of the company
and that Mansfield's character had
now become the most important per-
sonage in the comedy. He protested
violently. Farnie was in a dilemma.
Mansf1eld's business and additions
were so clever and SO valuable that
he deserved the prominence accorded
to him. Taylor was an important
actor and could not be dispensed with.
Mansfield came forward. 'Would
Mr.. Taylor like my part?" he said.
Taylor felt that, the principal
comedian, the best part belonged
properly to him. He ought to have
Mansfield's part.
Mansfield handed 1t to him. by
all MEANS" said he. "Here it is" and
ne handed over the manuscript COW
cred with interpretations, corrections
and business
We resumed our rehearsals.
"You will allow me-" said Mans
field to Farnie-"you will allow me
the same privilege with this new part
you were so generous as to accord
me with the other? Mr. Taylor has
the advantage of my suggestions on
the other character; you will permit
me to do my best with this ~
'By all means" said Farnle, and
to work we went again.
Mansfield built up again. Day by
day, little by little, his new part alb
sorbed scene after scene.-E. II. Soth-
ern in Scribner's.

the stage lost a valuable acquisition.

Adopts Resolution Protesting Against
Introduction of Military Training in
Public Schools.

Baltimore, Nov. 22.-Delegates to
the convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor engaged in a warm
debate over q resolution which pro-
tested against the teaching of militar-
ism in the public schools. The pre-
amble set forth that the secretary of
war has communicated with public
school authorities in various parts of
this country, inquiring if they were
willing to introduce military training
of the boys in the schools.
The committee to which the reso-
luton was referred commented. non
concurrence and the chairman of the
committee declared that while he was
opposed to any increase in the stand
ing army it was his belief that "nen
who will not fight and women who
won't be mothers are an abomina-
ton in the world.
The convention adopted the resolu
ton.

Bald Head Dinner.
bridgeport Farmer)

The Bald Head club is becoming a
DANGEROUS organization. There are
too many of them. More than two
hundred met the other evening, to
dine. The roof heaved with the
operations of their minds, because
there was nothing there to restrain
and hold down the waves of energy.
Bald heads come from tight hats,
or heavy brains. If there could be a
separation of the two kinds all might
he we'll
There could be no objection to a
tight organization Of the tight hat
bald heads. But the big brain bald
heads know too much, even when
pursuing purely individualistic ca
reers. United, they may be too
strong for the rest of the world.
There have been combinations Of
capital and com binations of labor, but
John Rodemeyer is the first Amer
lean, and perhaps the first man in the
world to attempt the organization Of
brains. His brain trust is danger
Cusly near success. 1t is time for re-
strictive legislation.
An action under the Sherman law,
to divide this dangerous trust into
its component parts seems to be de-
manded.
