Readers of The Gazette will be glad
to know that we have secured the
publication rights of this territory
to LOVER THE ToP", the most famous
war story that has ever been written
by the most famous war writer of the
day. The first installment will appear
within Q short time. Arthur Guy
Empey, the author of "Over the Top''
is an American boy who, fired by the
tragedy Of the Lusitania, got into the
world war two years ahead of his
countrymen. For seventeen months,
until he fell desperately wounded In
"No Mans Land" he saw more actual
fighting than any other man that has
written about the war. His stories
Of the horrors, thrills, humor and com.
radship of the trenches have not been
approached in interest by any other
writer. Watch for the opening install.
ment OF this story in The Gazette.

AS star in motion pictures Miss

word 'repression,' and it is an excel

Florence Reed Approves of
Critics and Vice Versa

myself, but it's mighty difficult when
you're playing for tears to get titters.
metropolitan audiences are different,
and it doesn't happen much here, but
when we opened out of town it was
awful. The minute I walked on in my
red gingham gown and began to rave
about John they thought it was the
cue to laugh, and. of course, went UP
III my lines. You just can't keep on
with mad scene when the audience
thinks it is funny Here, Mamie, stop
that admonished Miss Reed to n
Maltese terrier, who was picking on
another Maltese terrier. "She is SO
mean to Prince. You see, she thinks he
is Prussian, and we have to make him
ride on the front seat with the chauf-
feur
well, as l was saying, | said that
| wouldn't play the part that way if
the audience was going to laugh. And
Mr.. Woods said What do you care
II they don't know anything? Don't
notice them 1t sounds easy, doesn't
it? But it hasn't happened here, al
though I'm all prepared for it any
night You never can tell what is 60
ing to happen out in front.
"Whether or not this play is sue
cess, can safely say that I like it
better than anything that have ever
done. | never tire of it, for there are
three characters to be worked out in
stead OF one. Three totally different
characters to be established"
"And which one do you like best?'
we asked, hoping that Miss Reed would
| agree with us. "Rose Carter, with her
red gingham frock and her big scared
eyes? Or Rosetta Glare, in her silver
gown, with broken heart beating
underneath? Or poor Rose lie Claire
in the funny green bodice and gray
suede shoes. who robbed the man who
loved her TO give to the man she
loved -
Miss Reed fufed her hair out all
around and then fastened it up in the
back with comb. She put on gray
squirrel tam O shanter and pulled il
down over her eyes before she spoke
Then she said, "Rose LIE Claire, with

Plays and Players

t'ranklyn Ardell, who plays one Of
the important roles in "The Crowded
Hour the new play by Edgar Selwyn
and Charming Pollock, at the Selwyn
Theatre, had just completed two
years tour Of the country as a vaude-
vile headliner when he was engaged
for the part. Going to theatre twice
day was second nature with him.
After "The Crowded Hour" had
opened Ardell was like lost soul.
Days on which there were no matinecs
were burden. He spent half his time
wandering disconsolately around the
empty Selwyn Theatre and the rest of
the time with friends from vaudeville
days.
But things have changed. And
Ardell, who was fast becoming a
gloomy sort of person, is as smiling
again as he was when working the
two-n-day.
His home is near Elizabeth, N. J..
There is a little vaudeville theatre
over there
The big vaudeville headliners occa-
sionally play the theatre when trying
out their new acts. Ardell played it
once himself.
The other day the actor failed to ap-
pear at any of his usual haunts, though
there was no matinee. One or two
noticed his absence and expressed the
fear that he might have been taken
i'll.
But he hadn't On the following day
he appeared as usual at the regular
matinee Of "The Crowded Hour" and
smiles had driven the last frown from
his forehead. Every one noticed the
change.
For while the actor refused to let
any one in on the secret. Then he
confessed.
He had gone over TO the vaudeville
theatre near home, fixed it up with
the management, and, in d perfect dis
guise, gone on and done his old act
The fact that he was a great big roar
ing hit and that the audience never
recognized him under the name he had
assumed had nothing to do with his
satisfaction at the result Of his
stunt The main thing was, he hac
had chance once moro to do the
thing he really likes best Of all. Incl
dentally, he let few in on his secret
and the following day there was
! goodly number Of THE Crowded Hour
company made the trip to Elizabeth t.
