written in 1918 and produced that
same year at the Theatre des Boufres
Parisiennes. 1t was produced by David
Belasco In English some years ago.
At that time the cast included Robert
Warwick, Frances Starr and Harriet
Otis Dellenbaugh. On Monday night
the parts will be assigned among
Jacques Copeau, Lucien Weber, Henri
Dhurtal, Lucienne Bogaert, Jeannine
Bresanges and Mafcelle France.
The play deals with the complica-
lions that arise in the domestic lives
of the JdnnelOts, and Henriette and
Denis lie GtIen, who have become
man and wife without Hearictte first
having told Dents OF a liaison that she
had had with Charlie POntd TulH be-

THE TRUTH OF "FEDYA."

In his present production OF Re

ing out his theory that when a play
wright is honest and sincere 1t is nee
cssary only to produce the play as
honestly as 1t was written. in order
TO touch the soul OF an audience.
II any further evidence Of belief
in this theory were necessary it was
supplied by John Barrymore.
Don't ask me how studied my
role of Fedya." said Mr.. Barrymore,
trifie as though he had wearied Of
the question long since, at isn't a
study. Tolstoi Is not a subject in
higher mathematics. He is a play
wright and a damned good one!
When you are undertaking the por-
trayal of character written by a
man who has brains. you don't study
the part and go into frances, and
that sort OF rot! The only role one
has to study Is poor thing invented
by brainless money chaser. When
you get play OF Tolstoi's you get a
regular play-the work OF a man with
intelligence, courage and absolute sin
certify. In playing a role such as
FedUd the character has been so
clearly outlined by It's creator, that it
Is wellnigh impossible to stray far
from the Interpretation intended when
the manuscript was written.
"Oh, yes, I did see the drama down
at the Irving Place Theatre two years
ago. FedUd appealed to me then as
now. as a rafting good part to play.
the sort of role one goes into heart
and soul. because the heart and soul
OF the playwright are already there
And that sort OF role Is the easiest
IN the world to play-and the only
sort worth playing!
"But-don't ask me what I think of
my role' Or whether like II! I
shouldn't be playing It IL l didn't
like II.

tions of an actor as to ask a roofer

THE BELASCO COPE.

John W. Cope says that he began
at the top and worked down." with a
smile. Born in Des Moines. Ia, he
spent a normal childhood in school in
that city, and was engaged In COM
mercial business with not even the
germ OF an ambition for an artistic
career until It came about one day that
a young friend OF his who was treas
urer OF the local theatre suggested to
young Cope that the two OF them put
stranded road company on its feet
and play the adjacent towns.
Coming to the rescue OF the dis
tressed players appealed to the sym
pathy OF Mr. Cope while the adventure
tickled his boyish sense OF romance.
So it was done with no intention on
the part Of the actor to do more than
take a lier into the theatrical bust
ness. The little company thus resus-
citated lasted but a few weeks. The
time was sufficient. however, to fan
the fire within the Iowa youth.

"Yessir," said the interviewer

directed the production; how he Sc

And, then, having expressed his
convictions most emphatically, Mr..
