Patriotic Mary Lawton
Finds New Field

Mary Lawton. the statuesque Eng
lsh actress, who has been touring this
country for year giving patriotic re-
citals in the interest of the American
Ambulance Field Service in France, be-
lieves that Mr.. Rothapfel has opened
n new field to the actor. His "Victory
of Democracy which served to intro
duce tho programme at the opening of
the Rivoli, appeals to her as the be.
OF development along artistic lines
the opportunity to declaim patriotic
lyrics
Breathless from her Interpretation
of "The Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lic,' Miss Lawton returned to her
dressing room the other night and told
something of this "new art" from the
standpoint of those taking part in it.
I'm this lovely place and with that
splendid orchestra | think Mr.. Roth
APPEL has wonderful chance to do
something really fine and artistic
along lines that are quite different
from anything that has been attempted
heretofore" she began. 81 cannot tell
you how it feels to stand before audi
ences and speak straight to the peop,e
on the subjects that are nearest their
hearts just now. 10 me it seems that
tho actor can actually get his audi-
ences in that fashion far more power
fully than by snging-in which case
many of the words may not get their
full value-or by acting in a set part.
or by straight dramatic reading with
out incidental music. l have feeling
that if Mr.. Rothapfel. who conceived
this idea, will go ahead and carry it
out to its fullest possibilities he will
make the Rivoli an established, recog-
nlzed centre of patriotic expression. if
] may put it that way, without in any
sense cheapening the high artistic
standards of his programmes"
