By Heywood Broun

Holding the mirror UP to nature is
an excellent theatrical practice, but
the thing should have at least a gold
frame. Naturalism deserved an un-
questioning welcome back in the days
when there was no such thing on the
stage. Now that it is here upon occa-
sion, we have right to less uncritical
enthusiasm If it is never checked up
we may expect to see some producer
add the missing wall of the interior
sets and ask the audience to accept the
condition on the ground that houses are
built that way. "The Gentle Wife"
brings up some nice points in the nat
uralistic method. The exposition of
tho opening scene, for instance, is car
ried on in a most casual conversation
between two women Obviously, they
cannot be expected to shout at each
other, but it seemed as if the producer
made mistake on the first night by
staging tho dialogue far at the back Of
the stage and never giving the audience
more than side face of either player.
AS Mr.. George kaufman, of "Thc
Times objected with pertncncc:
After all, people i'm real life do some
times talk in front of a chair instead
of behind it, and they are quite as
likely to face the north wall of room
as the south
Barrie got around somewhat SINH
lar difficulty in "The New Word" by 4
device which was not altogether sue
cessful- The scene in question was
between a father and son in front of
an open fireplace. 1t was absolutely
necessary that it should be played as
quietly and with as faithful effect of
casual conversation as possible. In
order to obtain the effect and still
make his scene audible Barrie direct
cd that fireplace should be imagined
just at the footight line so that the
father and son might sit far down
stage and talk directly at the audi
ence. The scene was effective and was
eventually convincing, but it took some
little time to accept tho red glow of a
few "foots' as a bon@fdc fireplace.
There is loss of illusion in all scenes
in which characters look directly
across the footlights and attempt to
create a fictitious annex to the scene
IN which they are living We still re-
member with no little embarrassment
the last act of "The Little Journey" in
which Estellc Winwood pretended to
see great rolling plain in what was
actually the orchestra of the Little
Theatre, for she pointed almost direct
ly at us when she exclaimed, See that
great cloud over there
But if there is a loss of effect in
scenes played too directly at the audi
ence there is also loss of illusion
through very ear strain in scenes in
which performers turn their backs
upon audiences. Audiences ought to
he willing to accept back or pair of
backs if there is some adequate reason
for the actor to be turned away in that
manner. But audiences and critics
have Il right to complain if the prac-
tice savors merely of a fad for making
things different and dihicut

ings Dear Brutus" is only little
below Barrie's best. 1t seems to US
more skilful, although perhaps a less
inventive, play than "a Kiss for Gin
derella.' 1t has only one silly scene,
and that is short Barrie's reputation
for charm and whimsicality and all that
sort of thing rather blinds good many
people to his technical facility. There
is nothing whimsical in his method of
telling a story. Dear Brutusp is
among the most facile of his pieces in
its workmanship
The play was welcome not only for
itself but for good cast. in which a
young actress named Helen Hayes gave
d remarkable performances. There is no
reason apparent why she should not
win i fine future for herself But rca-
son doesn't always seem to have much
to do with it. Young players some

So we hope that if Miss Hayes read all
the nice things that all the newspapers
said about her first night she will
throw the notices in the wastcpapcr
basket Things in a scrapbool are not
worth the little finger of live and
irosh performance on the stage.
We were much too prccipitatc in

were the best of the year Helen Hayes

American actor which VIC ever saw.
Frank Bacon's 'Iightnin'" might run a
close second. If the contest were inter
national, our verdict would be in favor
of the julius Caesar of Forbes Robert

Notice to Coal Users

| again beg to urge you to lay
in your supply of coal. / am
just in receipt Of notice from
the State Administrator, that
Mississippi is limited to the
mines of Western Kentucky and
Alabama. This cuts US off from
the coal fields of Illinois and
Eastern Kentucky. The greater
part of our winter supply came
from Illinois, so you can realize
the necessity of quick action, in
order to prevent a serious short
age during the coming winter.
The Federal Administrator in
sists that we should use at least
one half wood, so wherever
wood can be obtained at reason
able prices, it would be advisable
for you to purchase same, and
tore it away for winter use.
Do not wait until next winter.
and then complain that you
were not warned, but take ad-
vantage of the present opportun-
ity and lay in your winter sup
ply.
