The familiar figure of Fuller Mellish,
which threads in and out of David Be-
lasco's production of "Tiger Rose" at
the Lyceum Theatre, is one which re-
calls to the lay mind long list Of
distinguished performances, the majo
ity of which have been of classical
roles. In the recollection the charac
teristic which stands out like bass
relief is the simplicity which distin-
guishes the actor and his art.
A comment concerning 1t to Mr.. Mel
lish after a recent performance of
Tiger Rose" brought to the face of
the veteran player veritable radiance.
"There is no word which you could
have applied to me or to my work
which could have so pleased me-" he
said. "There is to my thought no
characteristic more desirable. Sim
plicity is the earmark of true ability.
No great man is without it in marked
degree.
$50 we'll I remember my first impress
sion of Charles Dickens"-the actor
became reminiscent of his childhood
at was at Christmas party to which
nv grandmother and aunt took me in
Gads Hill, England. AS twilight ap-
hold were variously engaged Dickens
volunteered the proposal that he play
with my cousin and me at having an
Arctic expedition, the famous author
impersonating a polar bear before the
open fire. With simplicity as com
plete as that of the children with whom
he was playing Charles Dickens gave
himself to the game. So thoroughly
did he bridge the chasm of years be-
tween himself and my cousin and me
that all through the years that have
followed it has been difficult to think
of him in any terms other than those
of a playmate such as my childish
thought of that yesteryear conceived
him.
"Simplicity was also the keynote OF
Wilkie Collins's charm. He used to
come for weekend visits to my grand
mother at the seashore. l was just g
little lad, but old enough to anticipate
with Joy his coming. Upon the day OF
his arrival my first duty was to go te
the nearest confectioner's and buy 6
supply Of candies to put beside the bee
in the company room for Mr.. Collins's
consumption when he should awaken ir

fering of the George D. Grundy play
ers under the direction of BARLEY
Cushing.
The Shuberts announce the metro
poltan premier of Frederic and Fan
ny Hatton's new comedy, "The SQUAD
Farm" at the Bijou Theatre on
Wednesday night, March 13. "The
SQUAD Farm" is four-act satire on
the movies, with its locale in South
ern California. It has been staged
by J. C. Huffman.
The title of "The SQUAD Farm" is
somewhat misleading, as many have
been led to believe that itmis mu-
steal comedy. 1t is q satire on life
in the motion picture studios of lower
California, and the central figure, Mr..
Bruce Sanford, general director of the
Excelsior Film Company, has been
drawn from actual life, and the play
revolves about the somewhat varied
natures of his love affairs.
Lowell Sherman plays the part of
Bruce Sanford and is aided by Alma
Tell, who plays a shrinking violet type

CHRONICLE AND COMMENT OF THE STAGE
Why Is a Revival?
Brandon lyman Explains Psychologist
cal Effect of an Old Play on Public Mind
and Discusses Ibsen and Other Things
By A. c. Sanborn

In moment of temporary peevish-
ness the other day Arnold DAILY COM
planned long and loudly that the New
York theatregoing public did not sups
port artistic dramatic revivals. This
was in connection with "The Master"
but he insisted that if he revived Can
dida" the public would be just as cold.
He has apparently altered his mind
about the revival of "The Master"
since he is still playing it. 1t is to be
hoped that he may have the same
change of heart concerning CANDIDA"
However, his denunciations OF the
public brought up the question of just
how much difference the use of the
word revival makes in the public mind
as far as it's support of play is con-
cerned. The problem is especially in
teresting since Nine. Nazimova, in the
face of Days dire announcements,

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
RECOMMENDS DRASTIC
ACTION AGAINST FLU

In view Of the prevalence of the epi-
demic in Chickasha which perhaps
from reports is more extensive now
than ever before, considering the
number of people who are reported
to be suffering from Ia grippe or IN
fluenza, and the number of deaths
occurring daily, and in view of the
fact that there seems to be a differ
ence Of medical opillion as to wheth-
er the present sickness or epidemic
is la grippe or influenza, the county
council of defense makes the follow
ing recommendations:
First. That the sanitary laws
and ordinances be strictly enforced,
and that a cleanup campaign be in
augurated for the purpose of better
ing sanitary conditions.
Second: That the question Of
ventilation in all buildings where
people congregate in any numbers be
Immediately investigated and that
places such as churches, theaters.
public halls, department stores, depot
stations, and other places of this
character be kept thoroughly venti-
lated
Third That in all theaters and
ether places Of public gathering.
vacant row of seats shall be left be.
tween people attending such places.
Fourth: That all physicians be
required to report to the health Off
GERS all cases Of la grippe or influ.
enZa and that the residence or place
where people are suffering from
either OF these diseases he strictly
snuarantined; that no person residing
at a place where person is suffer
ing from la grippe or influenza shall
be permitted on the streets or at
places of business and at each resi-
dence or place where a person is, af-
flicted with la grippe or influenza,
flag Of some kind be placed so that
the general public may know condi-
tions, and that other persons shall
not be permitted to visit or go into
residences or places where a person
is suffering from the la grippe or in
fluenza
We respectfully suggest that all
precautions of every kind or charac-
ter should be taken in order that the
epidemic may be stamped out and
the lives and health Of the people
protected.
Very truly yours,
