H0PWOOD'S STRANGE FANCY.

Avery Hopwood. author Of Double
Exposure" the new farce at the Bijou
Theatre, declared his purpose the
other day Of some time writing a
serious play.

some quiet place and not reappear on

turned out this serious effort.

which needed to be done at once.
Truth compels the admission. how
ever. that was somewhat fickle in
my younger years, and after a heroic
start I suddenly altered my whole
life and at IL undertook to make an
impression on Journalism. My candid
opinion, viewing the matter now in
retrospect, was that I scarcely dented
the surface of the subject. However
l had the satisfaction of starting a
magazine. That it didn't last past the
first issue, which as l recall was hand
written, was not due to lack of ap-
probation on the part Of is reader.
An obsesslon for marbles, top spinning
and kite flying rather ended the career
OF Americas youngest magazine edi-
tor.
I'm the natural course of events I
managed to make my way through
tho schools of Cleveland, where l was
born, and then on reaching the Uni
versity Of Michigan l was torn be-
tween desire to preach and to be
an actor. Fate spared both voca-
tons. I turned out to be merely a
writer.
Back in Cleveland l started off
with a rush as a cub reporter. Ny
first emolument consisted OF five large
and particularly heavy silver dollars.
Immediately on receiving them went
to the nearest store and made a Ave
cent purchase SO as to secure some
additional silver. I liked the sound
Of the Jingle in my pocket

at the time was about all right,
Others. including the management to
whom l took it, thought differently.
They were right. Claiming Pollock,
who vas called in to work over the
script. assured me they were. Tho

for his own productions. He would buy
ticket, compose himself in his seat
and drop Off TO dreamland as soon as
the house was darkened.
Il used to watch him with q sort OF
impotent rage many a time when !

he would be spellbound by my talent

eral nights later a boy came to my
dressing room with a message to the
effect that he would like to see me
after the performance. That night l
was so nervous could scarcely re-
member my lines. Mr.. Frohman told
me that he had no part open at pres
ent, but he believed l had considerable
talent and that IL cared TO / could
come along as the understudy for the
leading part in Shenandoah then
played by Henry Miller. Next season

remember them all. The most recent

nothing that calls for practical COM

DRESS IN THE BALLET-WHATi

Frequently a dancer who possesses
both grace and technique is handi-
capped in her appeal to the public by
her lack Of sense OF costume, of line
and color.
Desiree Lubovska, the beautiful
young Russian whose Interpretation of
Night the Vampire is one of the fea-
lures of The Beginning of the World"
the episode which opens Charles Dill
ingham's Everything" at the Hippo
drome, has a genius for pictorial eff
fects characteristic of her race.
MY costumes are always impress
sionistic, symbolic" explained Lubov-
ska. The stage is entirely a thing OF
illusions, and one should aim to create
Illusion rather than painstakingly to
give the public the real thing, In other
words, when l give an impression OF

the stone age, l don't wear camels

Perhaps 1t is with chiffons that / man

hours simply thinking of an effect 1

first 1t seemed like a big dark cavern,
but becoming accustomed to the dim
light rows upon rows of seats and a
balcony were soon discerned. and be-

me to the place OF my initiation into

road the following spring did / gather
sufficient courage to tell my mother
that had become an actor.
After three years with Kelly's
Stock Company, being graduated from
utility parts to stellar assignment
New York began to beckon. The next
year found me playing in the many
third rate houses to be found on Third
avenue and the Bowery about thirty
years ago. This was not exactly for
what I had come to the metropolis. but
in the light Of subsequent events II
was not as hopeless as 1t seemed. Be-
sides, the audiences were always ap-
preciative and that makes up for a
good deal

Emmett Corrigan thinks that in as
