Leon Enrol

Leon Enrol, the low comedy star OF
"Hitchy-Koo 1918" began his career
in tragic roles. He left college in
Sydney, Australia, his native city, to
join a theatrical company presenting
classical repertoire in the small towns
on the continent. At first he was
only one of the mob in Julius Caesar"
but as the tour became strenuous and
salaries we're cut the young actor
was promoted to leading roles.
"Twenty years ago this very sum-
mer," says Enrol, IL was playing Ed
mund in Lear and Macduff in Mac

even attempted Romeo. For two per-
formances week, I used to king it

but the company closed. To this day
they owe me my last week. salary,

Hleronimo into red-nosed comic.
planned to do the same with Hamlet
but Sydney manager engaged me for
low comedy parts, after my perform
ance of Revenge.
"Whatever success I've had in
comedy | owe ito my training in
tragedy. In fact. you can't play low
comedy at all without an understanding
of tragedy. take my comedy more seri-
ously than tragedy, and l believe that
real comedy in these days is as rare
as Hieronimo used to say of Justice
:" 'Tis jewel SO inestimable, tell thee
God hath engrossed it all in his hands
And there is none but what come

Prize Offered for
American Drama

The success Of "Inside the Lines"
written by Earl Derr Biggers and now
in its eleventh week at the Con1ev
Theatre, Boston. has suggested to
Henry Jewett, the director, and Her
bert Pattee, the manager of that play-
house, the idea of Offering prize for
play especially adapted for acting by
the Henry Jewett Players. For the
last two years this organization has
appeared in plays by the most notable
dramatists of the world. They have
interpreted Shaw, Ibsen, Pinero, Gals
worthy, Arnold Bennett, Oscar Wilde.
Henry Arthur Jones, Barrie, Brighouse.
Sheridan, Goldsmith and other Euro
pean dramatists, but they have rarely
appeared in play by an American.
But Mr.. Biggers is an American. and
his Inside the Lines" is an Aner;con
play. With the many problems of the
hour offering unlimited inspiration.
the present moment seems a timely one
to give the American dramatist an az.
ceptional opportunity. Therefore. to
give stimulus to his energy and his
ambition, the management of the Con-
ley Theatre offers prize of $780, in
addition to royalty, which will be
given to the writer of the play, in three
or four acts, which, in the opinion Of
competent judges, shall be best suit
able for presentation by the Henry
Jewett Players. It must be wholesome
in tone, free from any trace of morbid
ness, and the contest will be open to
any one in Now England.
An manuscripts must be typewritten
and addressed to Prize Play Depart
ment, Copley Theatre, Boston, Mass.
They must be received on or before
January l, 1919. For detailed rules Of
the competition write to same address.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-07-28

When anybody begins a conversations
with "Here's a subject upon which l
feel very strongly" it is almost certain
that he doesn't feel strongly about it at
all. The very fact that he emphasizes
his feeling shows that his emotion is
merely something that he has churned
up in his conscious mind. Probably the
subject is the physical valuation of
railroads or George Meredith's style, or
some subject about which he thinks he
ought to have a definite opinion and
arguments and all that. If you want to
know what he really feels deeply about
it is necessary to catch him unaware.
As like as not he doesn't know himself.
With the exception of very small
number of conscious satirists, nobody
pretends to feel strongly about the
things of which he writes in humorous
vein. And yet he does if the humor is
at all spontaneous. Practically all
blazing humor comes from the uncon-
scous mind. 1t is down in our mental
roots, and only accident or inspiration
can bring 1T up. But the man who
wants to write a serious play or story
or poem does not have to depend on
such fugitive occurrences. He can work
the thing out. There was Mr.. Poe, for
instance. who decided that "nevermore"
was the most mournful word in the
language, and that he could get a
smashing fine tragic effect simply by
repeating it now and again in lines of
proper cadence. Poe was ambitious to
write humorous pieces as we'll, and
tried just as hard upon them, and to-
day nobody remembers those stories.
They were synthetic humor and they
died.
However. there is some justice in the
superior respect in which the public
holds the serious dramatist. His task
may be easier, but it is usually better
done. Arthur Wing Pnero probably
felt no more deeply about the folly of
marrying women with long pasts than
he did about the inadvisability Of bring
ING up girls like boys, but "The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray" is much more telling
play than "The Amazons"
We have no desire to go so far afield.
We are thinking specifically of
Friendly Enemies" which is distinctly
tailor-made play. The authors have
succeeded quite admirably in devising
emotional scenes for their characters.
and have fallen not little short of the
mark when they have attempted to set
them into comedy. After all, you can
cry at things you don't like. Laughter
has to be wooed and nobody is so quick
to spot faker.
Nora, Ibsen's Nora, left her home be-
cause in eight years she had never had
serious conversation with her hus-
band. That was foolish Of her. She
felt that she didn't really know him.
But it's ten to one that if she had had
those serious conversations on the
physical valuation of railroads and the
style of George Meredith she would
have found that there simply wasn't
anything to know.
