who had never had the necessary ex-
perience to make these things any
more than mere names. As ! go along
| find that my respect for platitudes
greatly increases. a little knowledge
is a dangerous thing now figures in
the action. In comedy and farce all
danger is funny.
"My pair Of innocents knew enough
to be sure that one could drink gin
with safety, whiskey without fatal re-
suits. liquors with comparative calm
ness, and so on. Out of the tails Of
their otherwise preoccupied eyes they
had seen their spouses drink these
things and survive them. If precipice
yawned beneath them they didn't sus-
pect it.
my question was; will the audi
ence get the full, terrifying effect Of
this mixture of gin, whiskey, YER
mouths, cordials, etc, and howl their
heads off, or will they sit solemnly
through it and wonder why I'm wasting
their time?
"The answer is that every audience
has begun to litter at the very sight
of so many bottles. and has been in
ar uproar by the time the cocktail
was finished. I do not believe there
have been a dozen people in that thea
ire this year who have not known how
deadly it was to mix gin and whiskey.
But / can imagine that q total ab-
stainer would be pretty mystified by it.

that quietly restrained, humorous vo-
cal infection, "and | told him | was

go and disgrace my name on the bill
boards, shouted my father. All
right, I'll change my name retort-
ed no; you don't do that, either!
For then. if you're a success, no one
will know you're my son."
So Mr.. Wynn started an elevcnyear
vaudeville career. During that time,
he declares, he never repeated an act
once to an audience, never used ma
terial of any kind that he didn't COM
pose himself. In addition 10 writing
his own acts, he found time to COM
pose numerous vaudeville sketches.
Mr. Wynn's remarks relating to the
task Of the comedian are worth atten-

act of Fair and Warmer" TO say moth

on the assumption that 90 per cent OF
The persons who 90 to the theatre know

Thus does Mr.. Hopwood indict the
theatre-going public in his first para
graph.
"It was more Of risk than you
might think" he proceeded, "and pom

Really, one of the best ways of find

write plays about them, and to learn
your lessons from sitting in the audi

and Warmer is that lot Of valuable
information will go to waste if prohi-

"It is no new thing, Of course, for
the spectacle Of an amiably intoxicated
man to excite laughter on the stage.
As somebody said about my play, there
IS blessed hour, in the course Of a
spree. when the victim is genuinely
funny when his idiotic good humor
is perfectly contagious, and good

equally true that the endeavors Of inno-
cent persons to be wicked are nearly
always funny. But the comparatively

was what made me hesitate.

was mildly amused-but it registered
with me as a total failure. That was

tion Of the audience comes TO forget
cares, worries and griefs. They arrive
harboring a hostile attitude. Another
portion sinks in for a quiet rest after
the continual conflict of modern family
life. Nearly half of the people are
groggy with food. All of them expect
not to be annoyed.
