Tea for Three Has
New Angle in Triangle

us which part OF this plot was az
ranged between you and Wife and
which part was accidental. Did you
and size arrange, over the luncheon
table, that you should steal her pict-.
ure and that che should visit your
rooms and that Carter should catch
her there? And had you planned your
suicide, and, if so, how was it that
Laura believed the account in the
paper"
Everybody asks me that, and as a
matter of fact I don't know just how
much of it was planned. never
could quite determine, though, Of
course, I never intended that Laura
should believe had killed myself. I
guess Well just have to leave that to
each persons imaginstion."
'As matter of fact Husband de
served to be punished. and we feel that
you were quite too lehient with him.
Why didn't you steal his wife, as the
man did in the Continental play, AT
the Tea Table," we said.
Well" said Mr.. Byron, AZ can't
really say it is for any ethical reasons,
but that way is done go much. The
usua! thing is to steal the wife. 1t
is much more difficult not to-
And here there came an interrupt
ton. 1t was none other than William
Postance, who plays the perfect Valet
TO DR.. Collamore. He stood in the
door looking so natural that we fully
expected him to say, Pardon me, sir
but the tailor is here about your dress
coat" which would have been the sig
nal for us to leave, as in the play that
message always indicated the approach
of the other woman.
Mr.. Postance we know very we'll, and
we wish to record now that he was
the incest stage director we ever had
Yes, it is too true. He taught US how
to say "Tea is served" with so much
distinction that we received favorable
mention in two papers. Mr.. Postance
said his business could wait, but VIC
remembered him of old as minute
man." SO we left the field to him.
But first we wish to say if you are
going to see "Ten for Three" and, of
course, you are, start early, just as
though it were Christmas shopping
for no one will be seated while Philip
and Laura are at luncheon.

approved in the original scenario. He
saw the d ficulties in the way OF max
ing play without story and readily
yielded his brain children" TO the
stern exigencies Of the stage And Mr..
Riley was never flowing necktie poet,
anyway. He was plain folks. He hated
to be talked to about "his art" And
that reminds me of Riley story. 4
young gentleman from "The Ladies'
Home Journal" who, by the way, wors
flowing tie himself, came to Indian
apolis the summer Mr.. Riley and I
were fussing with this play to inter
view the poet for his publication. Mr.
Riley received him most cordially, as
was his wont, and gave him the inter
view he desired. AS the young man
arose to go he said "But, Mr. Riley.
we've been sitting here all afternoon
and l haven't once asked what is your
definition of art ?"
Mr.. Riley smiled deprecatingly.
well, speaking of art" he said, with
the Riley twinkle in his eye, 81 used
to know a fellow over in Terre
Haute who could stand and spit clean
over boxcar"

''Tea Tor Three" is not nearly SO IN
nocuous as it sounds. It may be tea,
but after you have been served with
it It leaves you feeling quite as though
vou had been served with some fine
sparklirg winc-not too sweet nor yet
TOO dry.
The first time we went to see ssTea
for Three we went because we wished
70 prove that everybody else was
wrong, and that we wouldn't care 20
sit for twenty-five minutes and listen
while two people talked over "a lunch
sor table.
OF course, ne hadn't taken into con-
sideration the facts that the people we're
Arthur Byron and Margaret Lawrence,
and that they talked Roi Cooper Megrue
talk. 1t does make difference, and
VIC can't help thinking what '"Iea for
Three" is going to be like in another
decade or so, when Broadway gets
through with it and the Oshkoch stock
company decides to present it, with
Dottie Flynn and Herbert Blackdon in
Tie leading roles.
But, as we we're saying, We went the
-.rst time to prove tnat everybody was
wrong. We went the next time be
cause We wanted to, and the next time
because we couldn't remember all OF
The lines, and we are going to keep on
going until we can.
There is mystery in the play that
battles US, too. How can Laura prefer
Husband to Friend. Husband has
no sense of humor at all. But IS one
Of our cynical bachelor friends re-
marked, "He wouldn't be husband if
he had. No man would" But we are
quite sure that if she had married
Friend he would still have retained
his splendid humor.
AS it was, the amicable arrangement
AZ the en1 seemed to US only q transi-
tory thing, born of the relief at finding
that Friend was not dead We doubt
If Husbands reform would last more
than twenty-four hours.
Arthur Byron is the Friend, who be-
heves that the triangle can be squared
Margaret Lawrence is the Wife, who
knows that whatever happens it must
oe right angle, and Frederick Perry
IS the Husband, who doesn't know any
thing about angles, in spite OF the fact
that he is full Of them.
The last time we went to see the
play we had q chance to go back stage
and talk to one corner Of the triangle,
and We chose Friend as the recipient
Of our attentions.
How do you do. Dr.. Collamore," We
said as we were ushered into Mr.. BY
ron's dressing room. "Now please say
lot of clever things to u.s."
"I'm afraid can't" said Mr.. Byron
III his nice, mellow voice which loses
all Of that '"brisk' quality as soon as
he gets off the stage. "You see, one
disadvantage in playing 8 role like
this is that every one expects you to
scintillate all the time, when, as 8
matter of fact you may not have ar
idea in your head. can't go on ant

time, can I? ~
But MT Byron is SO modest, and
he doesn't have to have all Of his lines

Putting the Riley
Folk ON the Stage
By Robert Mclaughlin
Amthor of "Home Again"

Inc Idea of dramatizng the poems
and stories Of James Whitcomb Rilev
had its inception more than twenty
years ago. At that time I was attend
ing Ohio State University, at Column
bus, and Mr.. Riley was doing one of
his lecture tours. He appeared at the
Great Southern Theatre, ani after the
lecture attended an after-theatre sup
per given by the local chapter of the
Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
Mr.. Riley and both happened to be
members of that fraternity and the
first time I met him was at that sup
per. The exchequer of the chapter
was ct very low ebb and the boys had
