IF YOU DON'T LIKE A
PART, PLAY IT
BADLY

THE one thing for the talented young
actress TO do when given a part not to
her liking Mt the start of her career is to
play 1t as badly as she possibly can!"L'
This iconoclastic bit of advice is prof
fered by Miss Alice John, of Twin Beds,
at the Garrick, who suggests that if YOU
do not believe the rule she lays down
cast your minds eye back over her own
career which has been n constant strug-
gle against type parts" and imagine
what would have happened to her If only
she hadn't played her first unlikable part
with all she had in her.
IF I had bungled that part as I now
see / should have l would have had u
little harder time getting the next one (;
but when l did get 1t. it would have been
as different as possible from the one
had failed in," said Miss John.
IF the next one had been equally as
bad-merely differcnt-1 would have hal
TO repeat my failure: but nobody takes the
failure of young actresses very seriously.
Any determined young woman who sim
ply won't let go will be given chances
not important but numerous.
THE thing for her to do Is to wait
until something comes to her that leads
up and then put all her power into It,
She Will have her success Something n
little better comes. Finally, almost be-
fore she knows 1t, she will have broad
ened out in her work-her opportunities
will be vared-she will arrive at her sue

brand new, native drama, to start her
season with.
AS to the latest play in her repertoire.
"The Earth" though the scene and the
characters are English, the real subject
matter Is SO closely paralleled by jour-
nalistic conditions in this country that II
has n very definite value for us'nlf the
last act of THE Earth" were as good as
the other three; that is, if the solution
were of equal interest and plausibtlity to
the problem, the play might take high
place IN contemporary drama. Unfortu-
nately, however, as so often is the ease.-
the author has been unable to untangle
his web with anything like the success he
achieved in tangling it, and the play falls
down at the finish.
The plot is simple. The Right Hon.
Denzil Trevena, NJ p, is the author of a
wage bill, evidently the type of leglsla-
tion being pushed by Lloyd-George before
the great war, and denounced in certain
quarters as Socialistic. The bitterest op-
position to this bill comes from Sir Felix
Janion, a man who controls an immense
number of newspapers with fabulous cir
culatons, and who breaches one thing
in his editorial columns and practices an-
other in his news columns. In this
particular case, of course, the great eds
tor who poses as the champion of the
peepul, is opposing the wage bill as a
blow at English liberties, the sacred free
dom of the Individual hiding behind this
catch phrase his real opposition, which is
to legislation that looks toward an ulti-
mate check on the expansion of such in
dividuas as himself, He will thunder
against the trusts, but never admit that
he is a news trust as it were, that he
has the power to poison taste and preju-
dice opinion to dangerous extent,
Now it so happens that among the
guests at Sir Felix's house party are the
Earl of Killone and his wife the Countess.

The spoken word will always have its
appeal 1t is an eXhaustless source of
beauty that will grow in our resnoCt and
affections, the more the silent drama holds
the boards. We will never lose our desire
TO have the artist himself in our presence,
to be touched and be hypnotized by the
daze of his personality.
on the other hand, the photopay has
developed form of pictorial narrative,
swift, sure, direct and intensely dra-
matte, that makes the wide world it's
stage, renders the impossible possible by
its fantastic necromacy and still registers
with infallible precision the personality Of
its players.
What would we not pay to SEQ the dis
tant past upon the screen as clearly as
we see current events projected, to watch
the pageant of history back to the days
of Napoleons battles, or of Shakespeares
presentation to Elizabeth! Yet that is the
sort of legacy we are leaving our children.
And we can do more for them. BY the
painstaklng research of the student and
the constructive Imagination of the ar
tist we can reproduce with remarkable
accuracy upon the screen many of tho
crucial events of history, thus revivifyng
them for the eager eyes of the children
that are to come. This is an undertaking
as stimulating as 1t is worthy and is oc-
cupying more and more of the attention

TlHERE seems to have been some as
i tonishment in this country that was
sufficiently interested in the photo-drama
to consider an appearance therein. / in
turn am astonished at the astonishment.
Can 1t be that you in America, where
the photoplay has developed so amaz-
ingly and become so large part of your
recreatonal life, are behind us in recogE
milton of its high artistic Importance? 1
hardly think so.
For myself-overlooking the fact that
have already appeared in two photo
dramas in England would be ashamed
not to be most keenly interested in this
new and impetuous ART.
Surely the artist who is alive must
needs be interested in every new develop
ment of the art to which his life is de-
voted; only the moribund lack interest in
what Is new.
Besides, am an eclectic person. In
art | am a socialist. L want whatever
gift of art l have to belong to the multi
tude. And is not posterity a multitude?
The actor hitherto has lived but for his
generation. The cinema has given him
the enfranchisement of posterity. This at
once spur and warning to ambition.
We can no longer live on our regulations,
but, on the other hand, we can speak to
millions where before we could reach only
thousapdS. This is an ineStimable privl-
lege that would be the last TO belttle.
Yes, every facet of an art must be fas-
clnating to the artist Science has given
US this new facet. 1t is our opportunity

achievement, ignoring the unworthy uses
