YOUNG FRANCES CAPLES
By HERMAN J. MANkIEWICZ

TT is, you might say. almost a bio
i logical necessity that the worm
should turn. In fact, if you came
to look the matter up, you'd very likely
find much more balm in Gilead than
appears on the surface. Every cloud
has at least an imitation silver lining,
if YOU are one of those impatient ones
who can't wait until the clouds roll by.
A little more than year and half
ago those of US who know our lbsen
and find him wanting, and to whom
Shaw is not a dramatic amusement,
but a female cuss word, were hard
pressed for entertainment. Our lives
were empty, and, to all intents and
purposes. finished Whereupon Will
lam Rock, who can always be relied
upon in emergencies of this kind, ap-
peared in the familiar ofing with one
whom, for the purposes of euphony
be called Frances White. Everything
changed at once. The old crouch dis
appeared, to be replaced by a wide
and permanent grin. The clear-toned
chuckle replaced the raucous rasp.
The Mississippi became our favorite
river. The law of averages was vindi-
Gated.
The rise to success OF Frances White
is now a familiar story to those who
rely for their amusement upon the
theatres. and not the debates in Con
cress. But to secure additional infor-
nation for an anxious world we sought
her out and got her story at first hand.
She is now adjoining "Hitchy- Koo,"
the merry melange at the Cohan &
Harris.
The first and lasting impression that
one gets from Miss White is that OF
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-17

dignified modesty. Success has not
turned her head. Four years ago, as
she herself says, she was singing. Illus
trated songs in little movie theatre
in Los Angeles; to-day she is being
featured on Broadway. And yet her
perspective has not been altered. Her
present work in the music halls, though
She enjoys il immensely, is 10 her but
a step upward. She confessed that she
was studying hard, specializing IN
French. with a desire ultimately 70
trod the legitimate stage.
Just about at this point, TO be quite
frank. there entered distinct but
fleeing suspicion: il seemed that, after
all. this was going 20 be just one OF
those interviews. In another minute she
would tell about the ancestral man
sions in dear old Fairfax County before
the war. But Miss White was so dis
tinctly in earnest. and her ambition TO
do the legit was so obviously sincere.
that the suspicion just naturally van
ished. She was even able 10 analyze
her ambition, imputing it TO an histor-
ical dictum that temperamental &C
tresses, small in size, were destined by
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-17

nature for the legitimate stage. And
she will play Nora yet.
But 70 return to Los Angeles. AS be-
fore mentioned, she was singing IN a
movie theatre. and there Rock found
her. He gave her a small part in his
production of THE Candy Shop with
Maude Fulton). Then followed a brief
experience with $50 Long, Lefty, and
Blanche Ring, and then Broadway.
The rest needs no retelling.
Miss White is one of those peculiar
people who enjoy work. she confded
that she was exceedingly happy when
she was playing vaudeville, the New
Amsterdam Roof and several benefits a
day. Her philosophy is based upon the
good common-sense realization of the
fact that success is not constant, but
moving. She is not willing to quit be-
cause she has arrived; she is deter
mined TO keep arriving. She is. more
over thoroughly conscious Of what
william Rock has done for her.
II seems almost time 20 explain why
the caption overhead is Young Frances
Caples." Well. among other reasons,
that is her real name.

cors less and less the sort of "Follies

The transposition of "Baby Mine
into an intimate musical comedy
ought not TO be an overburdensome
,ask. Because BABY Nine" Heaven
knows was sufficiently intimate
farce.
The trend of the day in musical COM
edjes is toward this quality which is
called intimacy. It is not exactly the
word that describes it, but it will
serve. Probably it was first applied TO
piece BY Miss Elisabeth Marbury, the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-17
BROADWAY AND ELSEWHERE
Very Good Eddie" nearly two seasons

Every Good Eddie" nearly two seasons
ago.
The intimacy in pieces of this char
acter, of course, does not grow wholly
out Of the comedians trick of taking
the audience into his confidence. If such
were the case, show like Watch Your
Step" would break into the intimate
class merely by reason OF the efforts
Of Frank Tinney. Neither does produc-
ton in small theatre guarantee in
timacy. for there certainly was nothing
particularly intimate abont "Yvette.'
1t is. rather. intimacy of story that
is concerned. The growth of the init
mate musical comedy has been coinci-
dental with the development of the
custom of making musical shows out
of last years comedies and farces. The
basis for the show having once been
the plot of comedy or farce, it is GER
tain to be more or less plausible and
perhaps even little bit human. Com
pared TO the absurdities of the made
to-order musical comedy story, it ap-
peals to an audience as having untold
humanness and warmth; the audience
finds itself really able TO enter into the
spirit of the thing, and the result is
the aforesaid intimacy.
The type OF musical comedy which
revolves around duke, princess and a
masked ball is visibly on the wane. II
has already been almost entirely re
placed by the intimate variety, and in
another season the substitution will be
complete. The fashion of making mu-
steal shows out of plays is growing
THE College Widow" "The Aviator"
Baby Mine" and "Sweet Kitty Bel
lairs" are only a few of the pieces that
will blossom forth in musical form next
year.
The intimate piece, of course. will
not impinge on nor compel any altera-
ton of the spectacular revue like the
"Follies" or the Winter Garden pro-
ductions. Not, at all events. while the
public evinces its present unsuitable ap-
petite for patriotic finales.
