he sat back in his chair and began to

happened in the meantime. Perhaps
II would be- well to go back even n

There was nothing in tho family
history to indicate a theatrical career
for Mr.. Tiden. II would seem rather
that he should be shining in some
diplomatic service. His father, I.orcntz

thirty year war against Germany.
The only other actor on either side
Of the family was Mr., Tiden's uncle,
Col. Fred Leigh Grundy of the sixth
Royal Warwickshire regiment, who
had the reputation OF being the best
amateur actor in England.
With a diplomatic career in view

The principal cause OF this mistaken
Ind juvenile p~recocity Is Of course the
effort to hold the mirror up to nature.
The professional actor is altogether
too far from nature. 1t Is the ANA
teur alone who an. free from the
conventions Of the stage. represent life
as the newer playwrights depict it.
OF course. nothing could be more re-
mote from the truth. The best actors
Of the past always have been free
from any more exaggeration than the
degree necessary for theatrical effect
Could there have been a more natural
actor. for instance. than Joseph Jeffer-
son? It Is just in accordance with the
degree Of his artistic skill that the
actor is able to represent life. OF
course the mere realistic presentation
Of life itself on the stage without
artistic perspective Is what the anna
tours Of the small theatres are doing
In the face Of such skill as he possesses

actors who are altogether without any

control Of their medium. praised for
their superior achievement over those
dull persons who. lacking the genius
to know their meter without learning
It. have to make some effort to acquire
1t by study and practice.
There are in Good Gracious Anna
belle" two examples Of very different
kinds of acting. The training of the
Washington Square Players has 50 far
done nothing to develop any actor so
admirably as Roland Young. who plays
a poet In Glare RUNNERS witty play.
The naturalness Of his performance Is
striking. 1t is SO admirable because 1t
Is a deliberate dramatic method which
produces the result Of such naturalness.
Just how successfully Mr.. Young could
apply this equipment to more impor-
tant tasks It is not possible to say. but
he Is admirable In his present achieve
| ment. Edwin Nlcander, who plays the
bibulous millionaire. gives a natural
and comic performance Of that role,
But II Is more theatrical than natural.
II Is altogether the performance Of an
actor who was seeking the effect OF
the stage directly rather than the inn
preston which would come OF the
union between sufficient technical skill
and the struggle for naturaaless as
we'll. Mr.. Nicander, who Is an ad'
mirable actors has probably had tn
time to acquire greater skill than Mr.
Young, but he has not always kept II
mind that his technical equipment IL
always going to be of greater service
to him when it is made subservient t
the Interpretation Of nature and is MOI
paraded for its sake.

Inc degree Of public support for
them Is assuredly not large. To
rad, however. on one day that three
new buildings are to be erected which

arama in one form or another indicates
an active interest in this field. Prob
ably IN the increased enterprise Of all
Kinds, artistic and otherwise, there are
iuet as many instances Of energy
- in the field Of the little theatre.
10 those interested In the progress of
The theatre, however. there seems an
unusual indication Of progress.
The hest that these semi-amateur
examinations accomplish Is the discov-
sy Of new authors. When Charles
: Ffohman some years ago founded the
repertory theatre In London the project
wss undertaken by the manager with
the idea Of developing new p:aywrights.
He thought that the frequent produce
tion OF plays would In TIE end bring
70 the light new men who would be
able TO satisfy his vOracious demand
for dramas. It cannot be sid that the
little theatres have so far given 10 the
world any writer's destined 10 he use
ful to managers. But there has been a
notable effect on the choice OF subject.
What the commercial manager might
reject with that fine common, TN he
taste Of audiences. that while you like
sAs play and so do I. the public might
not, does come to a hearing In the lit
ts theatres. Thus there has been an
encouraging stimulus to deal with new
subjects. a willingness to brosden the
available topics allowed to tie drama.
TIT and a novelty Of treatment which
might have been impossible but Cor the
latitude Of the little theatres.
IN spite OF what they have accom-
pnshed for the encouragement Of the
y~outhful-one might almost say the
5uvenile-playwright It Is on the in
trpretative side that they are rather
disheartening to the professional play
gosr. No phase Of this newer move-
saent in the drama which began with
the little theatres Is more amazing
than the claim that one should admire
m acting the achievements Of the
amateur over the professional. In nc
other art-and admirers Of the the.
atre still like to regard acting as ar
art, fond as that wish may seem now
adays-was the claim ever made tina,
the unskilled was superior to thos,
who had learned by practice. But tho
public Is frequently invited to express
IL enthusiasm over the work Of actors
for no other reaso than that they ar,
not professionals. As q matter OF fact
whether II be Greenwich Street Mum
