rightfully be termed farce. but in pure
comedy the humor must be derived
more largely from the mental and
verbal contrasts. Many theatcrgoers
are inclined to view that anything
which causes excessive amusement is
farcical This attitude of mind might
eliminate some Of the most delightful
plays of Shakespeare and Molierc from
the realm Of comedy to which they
rightfully belong. However, in these
more or less irreverent days the thea
tergoer is not particularly inclined to
bother about terms. The question that
generally concerns him is whether a
play interests or amuses him, and its
exact classification is a matter of little
moment.
"The acting Of farce, contrary to gen
eral opinion, is an extremely difficult
art" continues Miss Mayo. 1T Is
rather odd. is ii not that amateur ac-
tors usually select some well known
farce to infict themselves on their
friends. Now, a serious play will very
often carry conviction through its own
innate force, whereas farce, TO be eff
fective, often requires the most deli
cate cooperation of author and play
crs. Undue emphasis. misplaced
gesture and action that Is too pro-
nounced, can very easily upset al the
calculations Of the author. 1t is anus
ing when you come to study it how
elusive laughter is in The theater. She

is one of the reasons why in such "A

How One Woman WOOeS
The Goddess OF the Outlaw
Margaret Mayo, Author Of
Twin Beds" Analyses
the Art Of Creating
Laughter.

TT was Nine. De Stael was II not,
who once remarked that women
must be lacking in a SENSE Of
humor, or why should they ever
take men seriously: And Nine. De
Stae's finding, curiously enough, has
been that Of the world at large. Men
pride themselves on their sense Of
iumor, as rule, while denying the
possession Of that saving grace to the
so called weaker sex, concentrations.
however, are apt TO be misleading. This
one about women and humor, for in
stance. Curious, is il not, in the light
uf that finding, that The best farce
written in this country for years
possibly in any country-should have
been the work of a womani For to
write farce. as to act it and appreciate
if, depends entirely upon the posses
sion OF The rare quality of a sense of
humor.
When she wrote Baby Mine" which
has been laughed at. and, incidentally.
brought her royalties from all parts OF
the civilized globe, Miss Margaret
Mayo may not have demonstrated the
fact that the exception proves the rule.
But. In any case she did certainly
demonstrate the fact that one woman
at least possessed distinctly keen
sense Of humor. And now in Twin
Beds" the current success Of laughter
at the Fulton Theater in New York,
Miss Mayo proves that the humor Of
farce was not the result Of accident.
for in the new piece she Is about
equally successful in wooing the God
dess Of the Guffaw. Wherefore, being
an authority upon the subject OF
farce and laughter, Miss Mayos com
ments should prove interesting. Pine
no once remarked that comedy Is
successful farce by a deceased au-
thor" which served to show among
other things that the famous English
playwright was piqued at having the
term used in connection with his plays.
And yet he need not have resented It.
As Twin Beds is soon to be seen
here Miss Mayo's views are especially
interesting.
1.-THE real distinction between COM
edy and farce lies in the propelling
power Of the action she says. III
this energy comes from the character
of an individual or individuals and
oyereomes situations to a true express

situation rules and the characters and
puppets are tied to its strings you
have farce. The distinction holds true
equally we'll in respect to the narrow
line between tragedy and melodrama,
except that in the latter forms the ac-
tion and the end are more serious. In
the broad sense any play that pro-
crosses and ends without serious dis
