'PLeuse Do Not Knit"
Mile. Valentine Tessier Giues Anoeri-
can Audiences a Fe,U Pointers on Hosv
to Get the Most Out of Their Actors
By A. c. Sanborn

Knitting women, who attended all
tho r,,illo:inings Of the French Revolu-
ton. had most sinister effect on the
events of that great upheaval. 1t
would seem that they are playing to-
aav a role which is almost as detri-
mental to the stage as the havoc they
wrought to the mobiles of France.
Mile. Valentine Tessier, who is one
ef the shining lights Of the Theatre
du Vieux Colombier, has expressed
the wish that women leave their knit
ting at home when they come to the
theatre.
Mile. Tossicr said many compl-
mcntary things about America, about
New York and about American au-
diences, but she also spoke Of their
faults, and the relation of her com
rlaints will no doubt do more good
than the quotation of her compliments.
So at the risk of giving the very
wrong impression that Mile. Tessier
does not like American audiences, We
will relate only that part of her in
teyiew which suggested how the pub
lie could advance dramatic art and get
.orc out OF its actors.
"Please say for me that 7 wish wom-
en- would not knit at the theatre" she
said. ut is no doubt a patriotic work
they arc doing, and perhaps / should
not condemn it. / don't condemn it
1t home. But no actress can do her
best work when the auditorium is
fl!ed with women who are knitting. /
don't know whether the public realizes
lit or not, but acting depends to very
large extent On the audience. We
actors see the people on the other
side Of the footlights and try to feel
them out and act in a manner which
will fit each particular audience. We
must do that; audiences arc so diff
fcrent.
"Whcn, however, VIC cast a glance
into the auditorium and find ourselves
confronted by women busily knitting
it casts a damper on our endeavors.
They knit away and look up occasion
ally simply to say to themselves, 'Oh.
yes, the same people on the stage
and so back to their knitting. No
actor or actress can withstand that, 10
matter how much he may sympathize
with patriotic work"
Another thing which American au-

tho result Of the refined influence Of
our youthful home life, where our
parents fostered the love of the beau
tiful and developed our appreciation Of
truth and the fitness Of things.
"Some forty years ago Lester Wal
lack could present our old comedies
with financial success for several
months each season, and that with
stock scenery, stock costumes and an
excellent stock company of players.
"Some little time ago l saw pro-
duction Of THE School for Scandal
gorgeously mounted and costumed and
with practically star cast, and it
failed dismally. Our numerous trage-
dians, headed by Mr.. Booth and Mr..
Davenport, produced Shakespeare and
the poetic drama year after year to
large and appreciative audiences, vet
to-day Shakespeare virtually spells
ruin.
care we less intelligent than our
forefathers? Surely not! Our univcr-
sites are graduating annually thot-
sands Of intelligent young men and
women, but do they patronize the
higher forms of drama? 1 fear not.
The cause, think, is largely due to the
lack Of good taste and refinement in
the average home life. Money cannot
buy it and our schools and colleges
but feebly inculcate it.
~ have often thought that the flat
or apartment lies at the root of the
evil; with the advent of the fiat, with
its usually small rooms and uncheery
atmosphere, the delightful family even
ings at home have almost disappeared,
evenings devoted to reading and dis
cussing our great poets and dramatists."

Author Sometimes
Wonders Why He
Asked why Marry?'

Any man who asks question pre-
sumably expects an answer. 1t is quite
true, Of course, that he doesn't always
get one.
Jesse Lynch Williams, who wrote a
play which asks the question "Why
Marry" has never had to look for an
swers to his question since the night
the play opened, at the Astor Theatre,
sow months ago. Instead, he has been
more or less put to it to dodge them.
They have poured in on him.
Two of the answers he is preserving

is finished
"After one has played a few times

becomes preoccupied with the question
of just what time the first person is
going to get up and leave; it is most
distracting. And after the first per-
son has left there is general scram-
Bile for hats under seats; programmes
are rustled and folded overcoats are
prepared so that they may be put on
in hurry. The whole effect of the
climax, the end, the necessary round
ing out of play, is lost, and the
actor loses his grip on his part on
account of the bedlam in the audi
torium.'
American love of comedy is another
thing which has struck Mile. Tessier.
She does not condemn it, but the fact
has made it necessary to change cer-
tain methods of acting. Mile. Tessier
did not play in "Poil de Carottc."
which was presented the other even
ing. She amused herself by sitting in
the audience
ut was really shock to me to
hear the audience laugh at certain
lines in Poll dc Carotte,'" she said.
g! admit that the lines arc amusing.
but the play itself is so intense, so
intimate, so internal, that I never feel
the desire to laugh. The bigger mean
ing of the play is with me all the
time. The Partisan public scarcely
smiles during the presentation Of Poll
de Carotte.'"
Mile. Tcssier is really Russian, al
though she has never been in Russia.
and she says laughingly that the pres
cnt is not an auspicious time for ad-
mltting Russian nationality. Her
family was originally French, but went
to Russia several hundred years ago.
Her father and mother returned to
Paris, she was born there, and has
never returned to the land of her
ancestors.
This may account 30 certain cx-
tent for Mile. Tessier's remarkable
performance Of Grouchenka in "Les
Ireres karamazov." 1t is the role
which she prefers and the one which
she was first engaged to play at the

The quarrel is not altogether edifying,
yet in one sense we may perhaps regard it
rs encouraging. 1t shows at least that we
are beginning to take passionate interest

to reproach us with langud indifference in
all matters of this kind, but now it is quite
