A Stage Actuary

"Now, take cigar labels, for instance
do you know how many cigar labels
laid end to end it would take TO en-
circle the earth ?"
Every time Roland Young, as the
statistics loving suitor, begins his
speech in "The Rescuing Angel"
faint smile of reminiscence spreads
all over the audience. We have met
so many otherwise attractive people
who are walking encyclopedias of Use
full Information" and accordingly we
sympathize with Billie Burke as she
writhes under the exciting information
that Pliny actually used bathtubs.
After the play is over, however, the
statistical Mr.. Slade becomes a very
interesting person, who has apparent
ly become more and more interesting
to the American public since he was
first seen here in "Hindle Wakes
matter of six or more years ago. He
was one of the Washington Square
Players in their anxious Bandbox days
and moved back to Broadway with
them to the Comedy. Shortly after
ward he joined the interesting young
group of promising players under the
direction of Arthur Hopkins, and has
since experienced varied emotions in
all three of Miss Runners comedies
Good Gracious Annabelle!" "a Sue
cessful Calamity" and "The Rescuing
Angel"
The only role that he is not en-
thusiastic over is that of the inter
viewee: 81 am thinking of training a
ouija board for the purpose" he said,
smiling whimsically. Zone could
simply refer all questions to it. For
example, consider the comparative
ease with which you could inquire of
it DO you enjoy American audiences,
Mr.. Young?' What is your opinion of
the draymer, Mr.. Young?' One lump
or two, Mr.. Young ?-and then with
a few simple tappings of the indicator
the board would answer
Until / have my trained ouija
board in operation, however, | pre-
sumo you will have to be disappointed.

Hamilton for Liberty

George Arliss is proving one of the
most successful of the actors speak
ing for the Liberty Loan. There is a
certain fitness in his participation in
this effort owing to his portrayal of
Alexander Hamilton, the first Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in the play of
that name. Such is Mr.. Arlisss per-
suasiveness that Harry Somers, the
manager of the Knickerhocker Thea
tire, who also has interests in theat-
rical enterprises in the West, sub
scribed to $1,000 worth Of bonds.

Dunsany Again

Lord Dunsany's play, "A Night at
an Inn," which has been described as
the last word in horror, will be pro-
duced here this season. Harrison Grey
Fiske has the rights. He tried it out
on the road last season as a curtain
raiser with a three-act play. In New
York it will be given after the other
play as a hair raiser.

GENERAL REVIEW Of
TRADE CONDITIONS
Why Government Inquiry? After
the-War PrDblcnls-1rade With
Canada,

Aside from the quite natural hesita-
ton caused by the tension in foreign
relations, there were other influences
a work to make business halt little
during the week just past. One arose
from the freight conditions on the
railways, which interfered with de-
iivertes. Another was rather the re-
suit Of a state of mind. The en-
phasis given TO the shortage and high
prices OF certain articles of food in
common use had the tendency to
make dealers believe that the condi-
ton would restrict the purchases of
other things. And, although evil
dences OF such result were hardly
perceptible in Most portions OF the
country the mere notion that this
might happen added to the dis
quietude. 1t was generally believed
that the disturbing influences men
toned were merely temporary. and
this Is why they were less seriously
taken by producers and why the pri-
mary markets did not reflect the
weakening in confidence shown by
distributors. In the retail field.
good spring and summer season seems
assured. What is going TO happen
in the fall will depend on a numher
OF circumstances like the size OF the
crops, for example, which can not

calls for no different forethought now
