that the two men enjoyed the humor OF
the suggestion without feeling it neces-
sary to stoop to denial of so trivial a.
charge. But there would have been
nothing unnatural in Napoleon's having
preached the topic of kings public
bearing in his numerous discussions
with an ector who had played so many
royal roles. 1t is also an historical fact
that Napoleon was always posing,
feigning violent emotion that he did not
feel, and REFRESHING emotions that he
did feel.
On one occasion Napoleon told
Talma that his impersonation Of Nero
in "Britannicus" was too expansive.
Nero, he said, was q self-ccntred man,
but he praised the simple and natural
form followed by Talma. "Come to
think OF It," ho continued, men in
authority. whether they owe their
power to birth or talent, whether they
are agitated by passion or lost in deep
thought, may speak In a higher key
than usual, but they should, for all
that, speak in a natural manner. At
this very moment, for instance, wa
are speaking in a conversational tone
and yet we are making history" Talma
always appeared most deferential In
attending to th~se views on stagecraft
Another time Napoleon pointed out
that Tallna showed Ncro's despotic In
tent and cruelty too plainly, advising
him to hold In reserve his strength of
expression for tho later scenes, when
the full violence of Ncro's charactec
was developed by jealousy. Napoleon
also criticised adversely Talma's i'm
personation Of Cesar In LA Mort dc
Pomp6c."

hut at this point she suggested other
ambitions to him. Napoleon repulsed
the suggestions. He begged her not
to put such ideas into his head, for he
realized what the consequences might
be, greatness as a ruler to the detri-
ment Of his greatness as a lover Of
Josephine
THAT is surely a bigger and more
potent conception than what Shaw de-
veloped in The Man of Destiny"
1t really looked as though DAILY was
getting back to discussion Of Shaw.
Napoleon, but he merely added:
SHAY was more interested in put
ting himself before the public than in
developing big idea. Candida is q
great play and it is the one by which
Shaw will be remembered"
Then DAILY branched off on the diff
| tculty Of writing plays about grea.
men.
putting great men on the stage he
said, "is probably the hardest task in
writing. The public has certain pre-
conceived notions about great men
which are deeply rooted. Popular
heroes are remembered for their good
traits and not for their bad ones. 1t
10 easily conceivable that a playwright
| might present famous man in his true
character, but tho picture would cor
tain SO much that was unlovely and at
variance with the popular idea that
the public would refuse to accept 1t.
I'm Josephine Bahr found "a happy
way to accomplish his end. Instead Of
eatirizing Napoleon he satirised the
popular conception Of Napoleon, and,
strangely enough. the pnhlic will stand
for that"

Actor Must Know
Anatomy to Make
Up Realistically
Brandon lyman Explains
HolO He Makes Changes
So Quickly

There undoubtedly are a number Of
actors who mako up as we'll as Brandon
lyman, who plays triplicate role in
the star part of Success" at the Har-
ris Theatre, but there arc few who
think that any make up as quickly, and
not many actors have had the sensa-
tional advantage Of appearing in three
such divergent transformations as has
Mr.. lyman, first as his own youthful
self, then as broken down old actor,
and Immediately after that as the i'm
pcrious King Lear, in his new play.
Which led US to ask Mr.. lyman how
he did it.
"Wcll, Of course, it's part Of an act
or's job to know how to do it, and it
is up to each individual actor to find
some quick and sure system. When
WAS very little boy used to be ar
lists helper in some of the studios. It
was my duty, if remember correctly.
to fetch the paints and brushes. I used
to ask q great many questions about
the mixing Of paints and other things.
One of the artists encouraged me and
1 spent number Of years studying
painting.
II never produced masterpiece, nor
even very good drawing, I am afraid,
but two things did learn very thor
oughly: one was how to mix paints,
and the other was anatomy. Both of
these find mighty good things to
know in applying the rabbits foot.
II do not depend upon the chemists
for my stage cosmetics; mix my own
grease-the colors and the consistent
cies are more satisfactory. And as for
putting on twenty years-years of pow
erty, sickness and disappointment, at
that-to ones countenance, there is
nothing like knowledge Of anatomy
to help one; Of course, knowing how
to WELD the brush is also of assistance.
Zone Of my hobbies is to study
human faces, to find out the different
lines that different emotions will
bring out. But the painted mask is
not the only thing. The actor must
BIO the character he is impersonating
for the time being. The makeup
helps"
When asked whether he could make
up as woman, Mr.. lyman replied that
he had never done it on the stage, but
when he was boy of sixteen Che had
been on the stage for number Of sea-
sons them to his lot fell the charita-
bic act of delivering to a relative in
distant town the two-moi1ths old
baby of woman who had died.
Brandon was even as lad known
for his good heart; he wanted to do
this deed, but his boyish heart rebelIed
at the feeding bottles and the pewking
little mite. Then, an idea! II he
dressed like woman, nobody would
know the difference, and his mannsh
honor would be saved. Mr.. lyman as
sured US that the venture was success
full, il trifle uncomfortable.

When Josephine accomplished the
difficult task of detaching Napoleon
from her apron strings she released q
force that was beyond her control.
Thereafter he was sturg with new
passion. Amid tho splendors of his
palace he was oppressed with melan-
choly, preoccupied with the desire to
rival the triumphs Of Alexander the
Great. II como too late" he once re-
marked dolefully. "There is no long
CT anything to accomplish. I admit
that my career is brilliant, that I have

Who knows any particular phase of
life so thoroughly as to be able to
transfer it's characteristic incidents to

managerial prejudice by giving his

had heard that he received instructions
from Talma how he was to sit on his
