THERE is marked similarity in the
Il career of "Thc Man Who Came
Back" at the Playhouse, to the career
Of Bought and Paid For" the play
which first put this theatre definitely
on the map. Curiously enough. both of
these successes were put into the Play
house as stop-gaps. In the fall of 1912
the theatre, then new, was occupied
first by Douglas Fairbanks, in "a Gen.
tleman of Leisure" He opened in tn.
latter part of August, and moved out
in the middle of September to make
room for "The Rack" This proved to
be bad failure, and William A. Brady
saw that he would have to get some
thing quickly for his new house.
He had just tried out Bought and
Paid For" in Middletown, and did no.
like its reception, but when George
Broadhurst, the author, came to him
and begged him to give his play a
New York chance, he took it as a last
resort, with the proviso that he choose
his own cast, without consulting the
author. Ida Conquest and Henry z.
Dixey had played the leading roles in
the try-out. Mr.. Brady brought Julia
Dean from the hospital to play leading
woman and selected Charles Richman
for leading man. Marie Nordstrom
and the then comparatively unknown
Frank Craven received other parts.
Mr.. Brady took this cast in Bought
and Paid For" right back to Middle
town and gave performance to a pa
pered house, but the acting was what
he wanted. He opened the Broadhurst
drama at the Playhouse on September
20, 1911. It's reviews in newspapers
were not remarkable, most Of them dis
missing 1t as melodrama, and for the
remainder Of that week it played to
small business until Saturday night

selves and let the heather rage We
will do that for no actor or actress.
Whenever ten or twenty persons tell US
that the chit who played the maid in
the second act is not "one Of the most
promising young actresses seen on
Broadway in many seasons" but per,
and altogether impossible recruit, we
back water hurriedly. We decide that
it must have been her smile or our
mood. and we are quite calm when she
is led away to the lions.
Some few we would not surrender so
easily, but here loyalty is easy because
opposition is slight or non-existent. It
would take coolies of argument to con-
vince US that Laurette Taylor did not
give a splendidly moving and eloquent
performance in "Out There" or that
Fay Banter was not a marvel Of grace
in "The Willow Tree" that ROLAND
Young was not pleasingly ingratating
in "A Successful Calamity" and Ronald
Squire completely humorous in "Our
Betters" We are absolutely at loss,
however. to explain why we were not
in the least interested by the perform
snce of Miss Taylor in "The Harp Of
Life" In that play we found her I'M
duly repressed and stilted. Now she
bubbles in "Out There" And yet the
technical equipment Of the actress was
identical in both plays.
Nothing has done so much to con-
vince us Of our ignorance in the mat
ter of acting as the recent short sea-
son of the negro players. We were pro-
foundly impressed, for instance, by
the work Of Marie Jackson Stuart in
Granny Maumee." 1t seemed to US that
this woman had one Of the most stir
ring voices we had heard in season
She had dignity and authority and fire
and she played with blessed restraint
so it seemed to US, but We learned from
"The Times" no less than twice that
the really big dramatic moments of the
evening were "blsndly, almost compla-
Gently, forfeited"
1t would be unjust and unprofes'
sional of US to intimate that the
critic in question was born near the
southern boundary line of Copiah

We arc printing below an estimate
Of the acting Of Sir Herbert Tree, writ

says may not be disputed, but we deny
bitterly his. accusation that we are
GOOD natured.
Mr.. Burton's letter is as follows:
However much one may regret the
indiscretions Of the anonymous Eng
lshman' in your and other columns
last Sunday, there is a good deal of
truth in what he says The almost
unbridled license with which some
dramatic critics treat honest, if some
times misguided, efforts to cater to the
tastes of larger public, is bound to
have the undesirable effect of limiting
and discouraging producing managers.
The prurient play will generally sue
coed, despite the critics attacks; the
so-callcd "highbrow' form of drama
will frequently fail, in spite of their
praise. Sometimes months of prepare
ton and several thousands of dollars,
to say the least, are jeopardzed by the
judgment Of few critics, who may, by
their influence and the circulation Of
the paper they represent, sway the
success or failure Of play and its
appeal to possibly thousands Of other
less sophisticated playgoers.
