"Any one who can write acceptable
farce can write melodrama with his
right hand tied behind him
OF all the things which Edgar Sal
wynn said last night we remember this
one the most wildly, perhaps because
to our unframed mind farce and melo-
drama seem as far apart as the poles.
1t was just after the first act of
double Exposure" Tommy Campbell
had been put to sleep by the Yogi and
was slumbering peacefully in his arm
chair back Of the screen while The set
was being changed from the Camp
bells apartment to the Nortons' apart
ment.
Our business was to interview Mr..
Selwyn, but our pleasure was to see
that play and we weren't going to risk
missing any Of it for the sake Of hear
ing from the producer how it was pro

with the interviewer and the inter
viewce sitting on the green velvet
stairs which lead up to the balcony
1t took both intermissions to complete
the story, for Mr.. Selwyn has much to
say on the subjects of farce and
farceurs, and three times during the
narration he stopped to buy War Saw
ings Stamps.
Farce is by far the trickiest of all
forms of the drama 1t is the hardest
to write, the hardest to interpret and
the hardest to produce. At the same
time, it is the most satisfying to write,
play in or produce, thus making its
assets equal its liabilities"
Here was where the first War Savings
Stamp lady sold Mr.. Selwyn stamp.
He put the small green bond in his
pocket and continues: "The line of
delnarcation between farce and comedy
is exceedingly difficult to trace. Farce
depends on situation more than does
comedy, but the characters and the sit
uations need not be real. That is why
same as writing farce, only much less
difficult"
How do you classify this Double Ex-
posure'?" we asked. for already, with
the play only one-third over, We had
had our love of intrigue catered to by
the clandestine affair between Tommy
end Sybil we had had our sympathies
aroused by Lecksy's tears over her hus-
bands unholy aims, and we had seen
dark man with turban put Tommy to
sleep by projecting his eyes at him
preparatory to sending his ego into the
body OF Jimmie Norton Could this be
farce?
But Mr.. Selwyn replied that it was
farce, and to wait and we should see.
SO we waited and we did see. 1t is
farce, out it has its serious moments,
and Mr.. Selwyn told US why it was nee
essary to make those moments serious.
1t is because, to make the rest of the
play funny. one must put himself in
state CT mind where he really believes
that Jimmie is Tommy and Tommy is
Jimmie. To accomplish this the hyp-
motto scene must be played seriously.
This is Mr.. Selwyn's explanation, and
he must know, for he holds the same
position in the world of farce as does
Mr.. Belasco in realistic drama and Eu-
gene Walter in melodrama.

Sugar IL to IS Cents a Pound.

In these days of tribulation, when
everything rises but fathers wages, we
all very consistently bemoan the high
cost of livino. But this, observes Pop
ular Science Monthly, is not the first
and only time that prices have been
high. During the Civil war wages ran
from SLIP day for laborers to s.
day for skilled workmen. This, how
ever, did not prevent a shave from cost
ing 10 cents or haircut 20 cents.
Hotel rates wefe $3.50 to So day,
and ice, which was considered great
luxury, was supplied at so cents a
week for 10 pounds daily. Strangely
enough sugar was abe chief bone Of
contention in those days, too, and it
cost u to 10 cents a pound.

KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving in Y. M. c. A. "Hut"
In Training Camp Finds His
"a Duties Many and Varied.

If there is notion that Y. M. G. A.
work in the camps consists in selling
stamps and handing out pocket testa-
ments, let it be dissipated at once.
One preacher, serving in a hut in a
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
He has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds of packages of
laundry, umpires basketball games, or
ganiZed q glee club, stagemanaged a
circus, sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven a flivver ten miles and
back three times q week TO provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons in the English Ian
guage. He has been a repository for
hundreds of heart secrets, and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at a
time.
Perhaps oldest of his many tasks
WAS one that came his way on q wild
and stormy night in April, when the
master of arms at the military station
entered the "Y" hut after taps, carry
| ing red box under his arm.
| Say" said the master of arms,
Twelve got lot of T. n. T. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
orators. in this box There's consid-
cradle lightning around, and it isn't
safe to leave these things close TO the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night?"
The Red Triangle man slept that
night Cor tried to Sleep with enough
high explosive under his cot TO blow
him half way to heaven.

On Herschel island, where the sun

not always clothed in the garments OF
pronriety, writer in an exchange says.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back its movements were direct

no tangible conception of God. They
had no belief in a future life, either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious, truthful, kind to their

ambitious TO learn; they are practical,
extremely industrious, sanitary in
their habits. well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu-
berculosis is common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice.

island or at Fort Mcpherson, they eat
the white mans food with great rel
ish. In summer they eat their fish and
blubber raw and in winter frozen. They
like food cooked, but it is q matter of
Indifference to them. They will bar

hearty meal of 1t, and then go out and
eat blubber and raw fish as dessert.
