YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up corn or caIIus so 1t lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn OF
hardened callus loosens 80 it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-.
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
AIf your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.

On Acting
By Leo Ditrichstein

Thomas Carlyle wrote that "the most
significant feature IN the history of an
epoch IS the manner it has of welcom-
ing a great man." To-day the technical
proficiency, the analytical research, the
histrionic accuracy in portraiture of
character by the player is not consid-
cred IS seriously as the anatomical
pulchrtude Of chorus girl, because
the stage is not taken seriously by the
masses, notwithstanding the effort made
by educators TO impress upon their Iu-
pills the necessity of a dramatic liter
airy education in conjunction with the
other branches Of study.
In Chicago. recently. had this most
significantly exemplifed. When "The
Judge Of Zalamea" was produced there
the critics, with two exceptions, re-
viewed the presentation as if il were
modern drama, written by an unknown
author around some everyday topic.
The fact that it was written by Cal
deron de La Barca, the Shakespeare of
Spain, in 1924 and that the action Of
the play takes place in 1881, was evil
IDENTIFY entirely lost sight of, either
through lack Of knowledge of Spanish
dramatic literature or an inability to
appreciate anything that demanded ex-
crcise of the imaginative faculty.
Here was a concrete instance of view
ing seventeenth century classic
through twentieth century spectacles
All the research for historical accuracy,
all the atmosphere of the period, all
the labor devoted to the reflection of
worlds masterpiece, TO say nothing Of
the individual efforts Of the players
and enterprise of the producers, were
lost because Of the lack Of standard
by which TO measure dramatic accom-
plishm,nt, and the absence Of that
mental reciprocity so necessary be-
tween the auditor and player when
character or picture beyond the pale Of
our to-day IS represented.
il is The individuality and person
atty which the artist transfers from
himself into his artistic effort that os-
tablishcs its value. With acting this
is true more than with any other art,
because the player has nothing TO leave
10 postcrity but a personal remem-
brance; and when that is relocated 70
history, knowledge OF the players art
becomes almost vaporous. The painter
leaves his canvas. the sculptor his
marble, the musician his score, the
author his book; out the actor-noth-
ing but memory; his art, while the
composite Of all arts, has no estab-
lished standard or gauge by which his
artistry Is measured.
A great player Of fifty years ago is
to-day considered Anticipated by So
called critics because they measure
everything by methods employed to-
day. Dramatic art is the only art that
the masses demand TO be modern in ex-
position and treatment. There Is no
value attached to the reflection Of his

century other than curiosity. With

Election Of nature as seen through the

Round the Rialto
By ]. A. Pierce

To Judge by present indications, the
theatrical season is likely to prove dis
astrous. The managers began it by
mushrooming new playhouses and
scrambling for more sites. The public,
on the other hand, has displayed a
very restrained attitude toward most of
their attractions, and now they are
wing with each other in their haste
TO withdraw plays early and avoid the
rush TO the storehouse. A prominent
manager is authority for the state
ment that the week before the election
the show business throughout the
whole country suffered the worst slump
in its history. A leading metropolitan
reviewer says it has been season of
strange and inexplicable dramatic eff
forts from the managers. However
true that may be, il is not the whole
story. The increased cost of living and
the depression following the Italian dis
aster have had considerable effect on
the box office receipts. At meeting of
the United Managers Protective Asso-
citation on Wednesday 30 per cent cut
in actors salaries was discussed.
Even such favorites as William
Faversham, Henry Miller and Billie
Burke have failed to draw. Besides
"The Old Country" Anthony in Won
derland" and "The Rescuing Angel" the
failures include Friend Martha" "The
Deluge," "This Way OUT "The Inner
Man." "The Pawn" "The Claim" "The
Barton Mystery" Land of the Free"
"The Scrap of Paper" Saturday to
Monday" "Furs and Frills," "Misalli-
ance," Romance and Arabella," "A
Daughter of Eve" and Rambler Rose"
The reasons for the successes and
failures, as ever, are quite ineXplica-
BILE. The play that gets on the boards
by fuke in a moment of managerial
desperation frequently proves the
greatest success of all. But one cannot
even affirm with assurance that moth
ing succeeds in the theatre like an
absurdity, for then there would be no
cause to blame the managers for what
the suppress.

suggested. Neither Mr.. Manners nor
Miss Taylor could exactly visualize
any of them in the part, though con.
cedrg their abilities.
The situation looked desperate. The
play had been in rehearsal full week,
the opening was just two weeks OF, and
there was no leading man.

was a possibility that "The Barton

ton. Mr.. Arson had scored de
cided success in the leading role, but
the play itself seemed to make no head
way with the public. A call by Mr.
Manners on the player in his dressin:
room, a little chat, the formal tendei
of the role and the promise of def
mite answer in twenty-four hours were
incidents which brought ray of hops
into the tangled situation, The next
day Mr.. Arson accepted the part and
began rehearsals.
And yet there are some theatregoers
who cherish the delusion that picking

matter And the name Of those who
never even think of the difficulties
encountered in staging a play is Le'

z FBB TIDE AT THE BOX OfFlOE
The Inevitable Actor Found

Some ten weeks ago there was re-
corded in these columns the story Oh
George c. Tyler's search for the IN
evitable actress to play the role OF
4 Nancy Price in "The Country Cousin
and Of how he finally hit upon Alex
andra Carlisle, the present charming
embodiment Of the typical Middle
Western girl. This is the story of the
search for the inevitable actor-the
searchers being the same George L.
Tyler, Playwright J. Hartley Manners
and the latter's wife, Laurette Taylor.
The search began more than a year
and a half ago--in the spring Of 1916.
The leading male role in THE Woolng
of Eve" is an extremely difficult part
to cast. The gentleman in question
is known as Sir Philip Grafton. lie Is
an English baronet of wealth, social
position and distinction, presumed to
be in his early iorties. The author de-
scribes him as being possessed of great
strength of character and forcefulness
and yet, witnal, as capable OF being a
wee bit romantic when the occasion
demands.
This was somewhat of a tall order
to fill. it will readily be seen. Miss
Taylor's first choice was the particular
actor who is now playing the part,
A. f. Arson, hut at that time he was
appearing with Doris Keane in London
and hence unavailable. Then Cyrll
Keightley was suggested. \ frantic
effort was made for nearly week to
discover him, when it was found that
he was en- route to Australia and had
left New York on steamer bound for
New Orleans. A telegram TO the Klaw
& Erlanger representative in that city
caused the latter to meet the boat when
she locked, with a most tempting prop
osition, but Mr.. Keightley refused to
consider the offer and took Southern
Pacific train for San Francisco:
Rehearsals had started, but were
held up. Then Mr.. Tyler thought of
Philip Merivale. whom he had brought
to this country to play Beerbohm
Trees part with Mrs. Pat Campbell in
"Pygmslion" and whom he had given
the leading role in "Pollyanna," then
on tour. Miss Taylor and Mr.. Manners
journeyed to Philadelphia. where Mr.
Merivale was playing, watched a per-
Torrance and decided that he would
do. Another actor was assigned to his
"PoIlyanna" role and he created the
part of Sir Philip Grafton, playing it
with such satisfaction that he was Sc
lected as Miss Taylor's leading man
when she reopened in New York a year
ago in "The Harp of Life
l. seemed settled that when "The
Wooing of Eve" was produced Mr..
Merivale would have the part. But he
felt the patriotic urge and joined the
Canadian forces in Toronto when "The
Harp OF Life" closed.
When it was decided about six weeks
ago TO follow "Out There" with "The
Wooing of Eve" Mr.. Arson was again
thought of. Miss Taylor had heard
that he had been in South Africa for
his health, but understood that he was
about TO return to this country. In
curry revealed the fact that he had un-
obtrusively arrived in New York and
that he had entered into an arrange
