perfect comparison than the week az
forded IN the projection OF "Hsrs
Comes the Bride" at the Conan Theatre
and "Misalliance" at the Broadhurst
Theatre. Whatever enjoyment resides
in the MARGIN twsll farce derives
from the fact that In II ell the actors
are kept rushing on and of the stage
at top speed and top voice. Mr.. shaw
reverses the process. He keeps his
actors sitting perfectly still. The actors
sit still, but it ia their ideas that are
kent rushing around at top speed and
ton voice. In "Here Comes the Bride
the comsjy--if it may be called a
comedy--waxes hottest when the young
couple who have failed at an intended
elopement are discovered together by
their relatives after night in which,u
known to each other, they have slept un-
chaperoned in the same house. In mis-
alliance" the fun Is best when the en-
tire family sits quietly out on the
lawn and talks furiously about tho dim
culties parents have in bringing up
their children. And the surprising part
of it is that "Misalliance" is much the
more comic Of the two.

One day last summer a stray black
kitten wandered into our home and,
after sampling various leftover dishes
from our table, decided to become a
regular boarder. No one paid any par
tcular attention to it, and at the end
Of the season one of the natives agreed
to adopt it and give it a permanent
home. We returned to New York and
quickly forgot all about our erstwhile
pet.
As usually happens, time went on,
and, after a hard winter and spring,
June arrived, and with it the first per-
Torrance of "The Very Idea" at New
Haven. We were just about to leave
the hotel for the theatre when sud-
denly the telephone bell rang. OF
course, this in itself was not astound-
ing, but the message proved to be mo-
mentous. Our maid was calling up to
tell US that the black cat Of the sum-

Ancestor Worship

Already the morning mail at the
Knickerbocker Theatre teens with let
tiers from Indignant Citizen and
patriotic Southerner" and virginia
Gentleman" addressed to George Ar
liss and couched in language, in many
instances, that is distinctly unlady-
like. II is all because Mr.. Arliss. in
his capacity as playwright, has pre-
scented pictures of famous early
Americans in his new play "Hamii-
ton" which do not measure up to what
he so happily on the opening night
called the steel engraving goodness
of the originals.
Most of the "view with alarm and
81 must solemnly protest CORE
spondents take issue with the drawing
of the characters of Thomas Jefferson
and James Monroe in the play. They
insist that these two statesmen were
never involved in even the remotest
manner with the underhand politics
of the time and that to intimate they
were even innocent bystanders in the
Reynolds scandal" on which the play
is based is a slur on their memories.
Thomas Jefferson ranks with the
immortal great" wrote one indignant
Virginian, land no merely mortal man
can criticise him or attempt to be-
little him in any way without getting
yelp out of me-"
Mr.. Arliss, of course, insists that
he has not attempted to belittle JEFF
ferson, but that he has simply sought
to present him as a flesh and blood
character, rather than as a "glorified
steel engraving"
Jefferson was unquestionably a
great man." said he the other day,
"but he was also q very human man.
He had his weaknesses and one Of
them was his fondness for fine words.
As one of his critics has said, he
lived in the odor of phrases He
was an honorable man and we have
shown him in the play as not knowing
the real inside of the plot Matched
against Hamilton and of washing his
hands of it when he discerned its
real nature"
A dramatic incident occurred in
| Washington, where the play was pre-
scented the week before it opened in
New York A great-granddaughter
of William B. Giles, whom Mr.. Arliss
and Mrs. Hamlin have made the quasi
villain Of their play, called upon Mr..
( Arliss in his dressing room after the
/ Wednesday matinee and protested
| against the treatment accorded the
memory of her ancestor. Tears were
streaming down her cheeks. The
| great tradition Of her family was the
memory of their descent from the
| former Governor Of Virginia, and here
he was on the stage pictured as a
practical politician without ideals and
with a not overly scrupulous sense
of honor. Mr.. Arliss endeavored to
assuage her distress, but refused to
: deviate one jot or title from the
character drawing of Giles. He in.
! sisted that modern historians picture
the latter precisely as the type revealed
| in the play.

American Italian as he really is? He is
neither bloodthirsty nor efeminate,

It is said that Shaw seldom talks
about himself in private conversation,
but if he follows any conscious rule
in the matter he broke it not long
ago in talking with Miss Elisabeth
Risdon, with whom he has become
quite we'll acquainted since he select
ed her to play Fanny in the New York
production of "Fanny's First Play"
Miss Risdon is appearing as Hypatia
in William Faversham's production Of
"Misaliance," at the new Broadhurst
Theatre.
"Shaw's home is very comfortable,
without a single suggestion Of high
art" said Miss Risdon. at does
suggest William Morris, however.

Recently, when asked to recommend
some one for the role of an ingenue,

that goes with such characters, Shaw
Immediately suggested Ellen Terry.
But perhaps, like Irving, when the
reporters came to him to ask why Miss
Terry was not appearing in his new
producton-if it was because she was
growing too old-the actor replied:

Latham's long experience with theatri-
cal superstitions became apparent. He
gave the black cat the entire credit for
the success Of "The Very ldea," and i'm
mediately laid down set Of rules for
me to follow, so that this remarkable
good luck should not be lost.
"This cat is your lucky omen" he
said. "You must keep it always with
you. In the winter it must be placed
in an exclusive home and no expense
must be spared to guarantee it the ten
derest care"

he was adamant. | tried TO make him
see it from the cats point OF view.
Imagine this scraggy mongrel beast
in an exclusive home among blooded
Angora and Persian thoroughbreds!

fused TO recognize it socially"
But in spite of my arguments the cat
won out, and, fguratively speaking, was
