Kelly Won't Philosopher

Mr.. Gregory Kelly, who plays Booth
Iarkington's seventeen year-o!d in
Seventeen" at the Booth Theatre, is a
slender young man who wears his
clothes a little more neatly and his
hair a little less tousled than Willie
Baxter. He's really little older than
Willie-he's voted once; but he doesn't
need a great deal Of makeup and looks
much the same off the stage as on.
Naturally, he has opinions on various
subjects, but he feels they wouldn't be
particularly interesting to other people
''If Pm to talk for publication" he
SAID, 81 ought to read up bit on cold
cream and massage. Or reducing cx-
crcises-that seems a very popular
topic for theatrical folks How I
brought myself down from 80 pounds
in order to play Willie. But l didn't.
And l can't spout fashions on the
strength of Willc's wardrobe-that's
certain.
"There's baseball-l'm terrific fan.
AS for athletics, run to the hectic
tennis and handball. swim bit, row
and skate. But most anybody knows
more about these sports than | do.
II haven't any philosophy, or if
have l don't know it. And l can't ex-
plain how TO live on twenty -four hours
a day, for it seems forty-fo still

is to do | read when I get time-but

say would be simply shop talk, for
love the theatre and take tremendous
interest in other shows, but largely in
things most people never think about"

goes up How long the show runs.

forms herself into an empty headed
society butterfly with an incessant flow
OF "gabble" and a penchant for asking
lnnumerablc questions which she never
waits to have answered. In appear
ancc, carriage, manner and voice she
is no more like any of the three other
characters mentioned than Miss Tavlor
herself AS Jenny Wrcay is like digni-
fed and gracious Sylvia Brooke, the
lovely mother in "The Harp of Life"
Miss Fontannc is an English actress,
who was drought to this country by
George c. Tyler at the suggestion of
Miss Taylor. who saw her play num-
Der of widely differing roles in London,
and who became impressed with her
remarkable versatility. intelligence and
grasp OF character. Miss Taylor's first
glimpse OF her was in revival Of
"MilcstoneS,' in which she played the
role of the old maid, who begins in
the first act as a young woman and
who winds up iii tho last act, fifty
years aftcrward, as orochctty and tot
tcring old woman in her seventies.
This was the role laidcc Wright
played in the New York production Of
this play with such great success
Miss Fontannc enjoys the unique
distinction OF being one of very
limited number of actresses who have
been personally coached by Ellen Terry.
She went to Miss Terry with a letter
of introduction from mutual friend
and expected nothing more than a little
note to some manager. Miss Terry,
however, became decidedly interested
in her personality and devoted a whole
year to giving her private lessons in
elocutlon and stage department., play
ing opposite her in the drawing room
of her home in scenes from a number
Of Shakcspearian plays. After that
Miss Fontanne got u place as under
study in Drury Lane pantommc,
happened 10 get a chance to play one
OF the principal parts, attracted the at
tention Of Weldon Grossmith and was
forthwith engaged for role in
play he was then about to produce.

ing SOUL who covered up his gentle
ness with Il stern exterior that was OBJ
Vlous enough even to the children: and
Sister Wendy and little Michael were
just right But they take second place
to the BaXtcrs. | don't believe there
will ever be another mother like Mrs
Baxter You can tell right away that
she is a fine mother, in spite of the fact
that she doesn't have gray hair parted
IN the middle and drawn tightly around
her cars-shc doesn't even wear spec
tacles or shawl. And Pa Baxter is a
peach, in spite Of the fact that he

good for Willie not to be taken too
seriously. And the beautiful part Of it
all is that they are just as fine off
stage. | can say, honestly, that | feel
as devoted to the family off stage
as Willie was to them (deep down in
his heart) in the play. In fact, as d.

except when she plays my little sister.

Aside from the picturcsqueness which
David Belasco has achieved in "Tiger
Rose" at the Lyccum Theatre, the da-
loguc is filled with atmospheric impress
sions, vivid pictorial suggestions and
great warmth OF color.
Beginning with the first scene of tho
second act, Michael Devlin, Royal
Northwest Mounted Policeman, sug-
gests the country to the minds eye in
his instructions for the man hunt when
he says:
"MacCollins, take the northwest end
toward the swamp; Pierre, the cordu-
roy road below; III ride around the
lot; Max allow, have that dog rib blow
that bu,le for the alarm"
In the second scene Of the same act,
boforc the storm arises, the lines Of
the play suggest it's approach while the
moonlight is still flooding the yard and
sending it's silver rays through the
open window of the factors home

such clear, clean moonlight The
States can offer nothing like this, do

Following this conversation the

there is distant thunder And later,

An Actress of Many Parts

With the single exception of tie
always charming Laurette Taylo- few
actresses now appearing in New York
have shown so much versatility on the
metropolitan stage in the last two
seasons as Lynn Fontannc, who, by a
strange coincidence, is member of
Miss Taylor's company. Since the fall
of 1916 Miss Fontanne has appeared
with Miss Taylor in four plays, and IN
each one OF them has impersonatcd q
distinctly different character so effect
lively tina. she has actually seemed to
DC possessed Of what the psychologists
call multiple personality"
In "Thc Harp OF Life the play in
which Miss Taylor renewed her uc-
ouaintancc with her New York public
after her long absence in London, Miss
fontannc was dcmurc little Country
mouse" Il young girl brought up in
the suffocating atmosphere of con-
ventional household and living under
the domination Of an utterly conven-
tonal mother. She was artless sim
piicity and sincerity pcrsoniticd in tho
carly scenes, and she had ono fine
moment OF revolt in the sccoad act,
when, unable to stand her mothers
attitude toward her any longer, she
blazed out in passion Of resentment
In "Out There" Miss Fontannc was
the scrcechy voiced, strident and ut
tcrly selfish Lizzie Hudd, sister OF
pathetic little Annie Hudd, the role
cssayed by Miss Taylor. Here was
dclneation of real Cockncy type, a
part RS far removed from tho little
girl in "Thc Harp OF Life" as the
imagination could possibly conceive
Next came "Thc Wooing Of Eve" in
which Miss Fontanne created q most
unusual comedy charactcr-a crying
ingenuc-a young person trembling on
the brink OF disagrecable marriage
and bursting into trcmulous sobs on
the slightest provocation Now in
"Happiness" at the Criterion Miss Fon-
tame is again transformed, or, per
haps, more properly speaking, trans

Miss Matfhisoy7 to
Play in "Eueryman'

This evening at the Ncighborhood
Playhouse Miss Edith Wynne Mattbi-
SON and her company will play in
"Everyman.' This simple announce
ment on two placards on the front of

Players will be assisted by Michio Ito,

Whether it let's out before or after
other houses in that block and gets the
roisc Of automobiles during it's last
scene. What manncrisms the comedian
has. How many blues in the borders,
and how the bunch lights are placed.
How many curtain calls are legitimate
and how many are pulled Are the
third tier boxes full? Is the house
selling out or giving out hard tickets ?
That Is theatrical slang for the large
cardboard tickets that are given out
with the stubs of the usual tickets
when 81 seats are sold for $l.5O. How
the effective scenes are built up. How
quickly the sets are changed. How
the curtains are tincd-a whole book
could be written on the timing Of cur
tains.
All of which seems to prove that
m a positive theatre fan. And if YOU
ask me my favorite play-why, III have
to admit it is Seventeen 1t is the
greatest sort Of fun to play Willie
Baxter. OF all the parts I've played |
can't think Of one that l enjoyed SO
much, except when l was a kid and
played John Napoleon Darling in Peter

John Napoleon Darling makes fun of
his father, a thing ! had often longed
to do. OF course, Mr.. Darling was only
a stage father, but ! pretended he
wasn't Oh. how loved that scene!
That was fine family-the Darlings

Holmes on Rockies

Tonight and tomorrow afternoon
at Carnegie Hall Burton Holmes will
close his present season in this city
with an extra travelogue, which he calls
"Thc Canadian Rockies" including
gilmpses OF Canada from coast to coast.
This subject is especially interesting
and beautiful. A more intimate knowl-
edge OF our cousins TO the north is
more and more sought after as the
war continues.
The larger cities of Canada, with
their historical and commercial inter-
est, arc in themselves an attractive
topic for information and illustration.

when DR.. Cusck is making brave effort
to help Rose and hcr lover.

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP

In war time spies ere everywhere
says Gerald Brandon in the Wash
:ngton Star, but they do not last long
when they play so held game as
Lieut. Fauxnom played. Perhaps t
is wrong, however, to brand Faux
nom as a spy, for it seems incredible
that the true Fauxnom could have
stopped so low; many persons he
lieve that in some way the Germans
managed to get rid of Fauxnom and
impersonated him, but the truth Is
not known.
Fauxnom was an air pilot engaged
in regulating artillery fire, He was
capable in mathematics and had an
excellent eye for distance and direc.
ton. On the day planned for our in.
fantry attack near Souilly, we started
to open the way for the advance
with our batteries of heavy artillery
hidden in the woods several miles to
the rear The German lines were
, invisible from the artillery head
quarters, and we were entirely de
pendent on Fauxnom to direct tie
fire.
At S'clock the bombardment began
with trial shot from each battery
