THE AGONY OF REHEARSALS

The Washington Square Players
dress rehearsals begin at 10 o'clock
Sunday morning and may run on well
into the night. Among the plays they
have found most difficult to rehearse,
according to Mr.. Hohl, are "The Life OF
Man" and THE Last Straw" In the
case Of the latter suggestions Of the
author, who is the wife Of DR.. Ludwig
Lewisohn, Of Ohio State University,
were met by his, well, you know, my
dear, in The Wild Duck It was thus
and So" Thi. came to be quite by
word for q time at the Comedy.
Rec.ding further into the past,
George c. Tyler admits that for two
weeks before the opening Of the Gar
den Of Allah" at tho Century Theatre
neither Hugh Ford, Frederick Stanhope
nor he left the theatre except to 60
across the street to the Hartford
Lunch 70 get a sandwich. In this case
the difficulties, mainly scenic, had 70 do
with a sandstone. When the play
opened at a Saturday matinee the prop
erty man had not slept for seventy-two
hours, and none of the other stage
hands had slept for fortyeight. Mr..
Tyler went back stage and said he
had a thousand dollars to divide among
them II they all succeeded in staying
awake during the afternoon perform
ance. They pulled through the matinee
and got their 81 900, but number went
to sleep before the evening was over.
Continuously Troublesome rehearsals
were experienced, Mr.. Tyler said, in
The Vanderbilt Cup" during the ten
days between its premier and its first
New York performance. Thi, play
opened in Stamford, Conn, on q Sat
urday night, snd was booked in Phila-
delphia for the following week. The
play showed bad traits when il opened.
rehearsal was called in Philadelphia
for 9 o'clock Monday morning. All day
Sunday the author, Sydney Rosenfeld,
rewrote the script. On Monday the
rehearsal continued until 1880 in the
evening, when performance was given.
Rehearsals until o'clock in the morn
ing followed. Another rehearsal was
called for 9 o'clock Tuesday morning,
and so on. The company gave eight
performance during the week, no two
OF which were alike. when the play
came into New York there weren't three
original lines left" Mr.. Tyler said.
Elsie Janis had been invaluable in Of
fering suggestions.
At the dress rehearsal Of 9TH. Blue
/ Bird" Winthrop Ames and George Fos-
/ ter Plat sat in the balcony and gave
their orders through a megaphone, a
method of direction still used, it is
said, by Augustus Thomas. The rehear-
sal began a. o'clock in the afternoon,
and at II o'clock that night IL had
progressed through exactly one act.

BROADWAY AND ELSEWHERE

oEzTArLY the most interesting
80, Of the week is contained in
announcement that George Arliss

three more interesting figures

s'.,l.op play worthy Of production.
s1.t,.r or. not Mr.. Arliss can realize

:. ,.,p. bat the possibilities are great.
r..r. is, in fact, a good chance here to
.-,,.s a play and a character which

q, there is no gainsaying the warm
80, held for Hamilton by all who take
~. than a public school interest in

,,lo has always had a prestige which
NAV be regarded as in some respects
,,rnrisine. For when readers come
3ovn 10 the actual records Of his ca
,..r they find that they have to hear
..i.Ay Of financial schemes, the man
,yment Of the Treasury, arrangements
.o,esrning the national debt, revenues,
,r;Hs and internal taxation-dry mat
t,r,. for the most part, and not often
uticing popular interest. None the less
ais the case that our historical writers
nave found a singular fascination
,bout Hamilton: the amount of litera-
,urs and the consequent research con-
.rning him have been very great; yet
here is not any symptom Of safety;
our people still eagerly seize upon
everything which Is written as TO his
areer, and seem unable TO hear enough
q the subject. Such 8 condition can
nOt be accounted for by the tradition
4 hi, personal beauty Of countenance
ud charm Of manner, which made him
. leader Of the leaders in public life,
,,r By the interesting tale Of his
tragic death. The explanation and the
ruth lie FAR deeper. Hamilton's fame
indicates the unformulated but full sp-
precision Of the unquestionsble his
ton, fact that be was the real maker
Of the government of the United States.
