Wheat Sometimes
Cast With the Chaf

Even the most experienced managers
have not always been able 70 separate
the chat from tho wheat and pick win
ners from the avalanche Of typewriter
manuscripts sent them daily.
Imagine managers chagrin when he
sees columns of praise and lines of
people waiting at box Office window
because some one else produced n play
which he turned down. Yet this has
been the experience Of so many promi-
nent managers that volume might be
illed with such stories of the DRAMAS

Every ore familiar with the history
OF the stage remembers "The Lion and

Henry b. Harris made n fortune, but

"Well, think she's much too fat to
wear that yellow gown"
"But surely she can wear what
pleases her. She's a great artist"
"Ye-es, l suppose So" admitted this
handmaiden of art "But think she
looks bit ole now. BY the way,
have you seen me in the new play?
It's a great part, isn't it? But, Of
course, every one couldn't play it."
But Ina Claire says, 81 have every
thing TO learn and learn from every
thing and everybody. don't even
know yet for what l am best suited.
For the present | am very happy to
play Polly With a Past and in so
doing | have realized an ambition Of
long standing to be with David Be-
lasco. a great man. Then want TO
try something else and study new
things. Many people think am only
doing an imitation as Polly, but that
is not true. Or, il Il is, this IS how it
happened.
"When I was studying Polly used
10 lie in the dark every night before
going TO sleep and visualize the scene.
A tiny stage would appear before my
eyes and I could sec the characters
walking about, speaking their lines
and going through the business The
next day l would initiate what had
seen Polly do-and that's the way
got the part"
Miss Claire has plenty OF mere
prettiness, but that is not what one
notices about her in a city where
every fifth woman has either good
looks or, better still, charm. What
one admires most about Miss Claire
is the alertness Of her look and the
light that flashes and glows in her
eyes as she talks. And then one is
very grateful for the absence of nasal
and adenoidal sounds in her voice,
those harshnesses so cherished and
nurtured in vaudeville and musical
comedy.
Polly may have a rpst, but il is an
important factor in securing Tna's
future.

The true nurse is being of high

the mere earning of dollars or filling an
assignment successfully; that it Is
spreading Of a relieving influence all
around her, the inspiring of confidence
and hope, the being of use to herself
and those all around her.

and do your part to make the world
better, can you imagine a bigger or
finer field in which to discipline your
own personality for the good OF your
self and those around you?

Roosevelt" Magic Word in Russia

Edward Hungerford has written an
article urging that Theodore Roosevelt
be sent to arouse and to hold Russian
soldiers to their duty 10 Russia and the
Allies. His views are confirmed by a
recent experience Of the Vieilantes
This association OF patriotic American
writer's had applied to the Russian
Embassy at Washington for wise Of
q passport issued by our State Depart
ment in behalf Of correspondent the
Vtgilantes wished to send to Russia.
This correspondent, although an Amer
ican citizen. had been born in Russia,
and the Embassy declined to recognize
his change Of citizenship. He might
20 back as . Russian. but instructions
from the homo government forbade his
entry as an American. Naturally, the
correspondent would not have his stat
us placed in question. Still, he wanted
TO 60.
There Is ono way a sympathetic
attache advised him. Just one way to
get our Government to make an excep-
ton for you. Get Mr.. Roosevelt to
write a letter for you. In Russia his
name spells magic. They will do for
him what they would do for no one
else"
Mr.. Hungerford writes:
-
But IL comes with greatly renewed force
at this time when all Russia is hanging
In the balance. We know now that
upon the fate Of things in Russia will
depend the length Of the war. If in
deed IL does not decide the victor. We
have recognized the importance of the
situation in the land Of the Great Bear
by sending to IL our two first missions;
the one. headed by Elihu Root dele
gated with a broad and general scope.
and the other. headed by John F. Stew

ness OF mending the railroad lines Of

Tense. These missions are composed
Of competent men. President Wilson
has been unusually happy in the choice
Of their personnels.

Powers. which will release those same
troops NJ once for a fresh advance into
France. Is the Russian army
1T is the Russian army which. first
and last will decide this question.
And there is not. on either Of the
missions which we have despatched in
TO Russia. a single man who is in a
position to arouse the interest and en-
thusiasm OF the Russian soldier.
Roosevelt can arouse such an en-
thusiasm.
