up into the bar Of sunlight, then spoke
the opening Words:
He did not wear his scarlet coat,
For blood and vino are red

He did not wear his scarlet coat,
For blood and vino are red "
But Daily did not stop at the Ballad
of Reading Gaol." On very evil day
he discovered Kipling's "If," and in
vaudeville and out and at performances
for the benefit of people and things
DAILY would walk out scowlng heavily
! and begin the poem. AS he trailed
through the various eff you cans" it
was evident that Daily thought of him
self as the hero of the poem, although
there wasn't a thing in the list which
he could have done on bet.
Later there were movies for time,
but he got back to the stage eventually.
With few exceptions, this was the be-
ginning of the twilight period. There
were one or two good Shaw revivals
They were not as good as the original
productions, because Daily had not been
careful enough in the consumption of
starches, sugars and fats. Even good
actor had some little difficulty in justi-
Tying a Marchbanks with waistlinc.
He made a good production of Bahr's
play, "Tho Master" 1t was not his best
work, by any means, for DAILY had By
this time acquired number of man
nerisms intended to show that he was
thinking deeply. 1t was unfortunate that
he should have done this. "The Mas
ter" was an interesting play, but there
was nothing particularly profound
about 1t, and this attempt to weight it
! down as deep and terribly subtle sim
ply frightened people away. During
the run of "The Master" Daly was
taken i'll and had narrow escape
from death. This took a little of the
light out Of him and he intrustcd his
future to manager. In justice to
Daly' it must be admitted that in this
case his distrust of the Judgment of
! producers was justified. The play in
which he was put before the public
was called "The Very Minute," but it
ran little longer. 1t was bone-dry
| drama about liquor in which the hero
tossed off ten or twelve ponies of
brandy in every set The big moment
of the play came in the third act,
when Daily, as Francis Cranmer, decid
ed that drink to which he had prac
tically committed himself didn't taste
very we'll after all.
Following this play came Bahr's
"Josephine," and then revival of "The
Master" The end came during this
play 1t was comparatively calm. OF
late years the impression has grown
that Daily puts on new plays in order
to make curtain speeches. In one de-
llvered last week he said that since the
pubic was not supporting his play he
would quit the stage and go into the
movies forever.
And so | suppose we will never hear
his voice again. That is something Of
pity. | should like to hear him lust
as he was in "Candida" on December
8, 1903, and I should like to hear him
say. as he said then: an hundred
years we shall be the same are. But

sistent, all interests in real life be.
come more and more secondary and
remote until the questions in dispute
are not only decided, but there is also
written record of the debates and
the decision.
This statement of the basic differ.
ence between a play and a novel in.
dicates the nature Of the task which
assumed in dramatizing "Tho Cop
perhead." 1t was by no. means a
mere matter of tense transposition.
Such actual passages of dialogue as
were taken from the printed page, al
though possessing qualities OF style
and colloquial truthfulness that were
fully adequate to literary purposes,
had to be developed to a high degree
Of intensity for drama. Only certaia
portions of the story were suitable to
my purpose, and these it was necessary
to amplfy, as we'll as to remodel in the
controversial form.
On second thoughts, perhaps it will
be better to interview Mr.. Thomas be-
fore proceeding to give in extensive de-
tail his more intimate experiences in
getting into the skins of the sundry
characters. 1t is permissible, however,
to quote few remarks that Lionel
Barrymore made in an interinission
between the acts.

These were great days for DAILY, be-
cause he had found something more
than a great dramatist who was also a
popular one. Through Shaw he found
himself Hitherto his protest against
the world and its ways had been with
out expression. He did little more than
hurl an as that sol" into the face of
the cosmos. Shaw gave him tongue.
He voiced the vague unrest in the soul
of Daily. he pointed out that it was a
pin, or perhaps two pins, which had
been troubling the insurgent actor.
And go DAILY grew in stature. The
voice of Shaw vitalzed him and he be-
came one of the best actors Of his time.
An unfortunate event checked the de-
velopment of Daily. He produced "Mrs
Warren's Profession" and the police
rneddled and the dramatic critics of
New York went crazy and wrote col
umns of abuse and spoke of sewers and
such like. 1t was at this point that Mr.
Daily should have learned that he was
in no way fitted to be martyr. Some
people can do it and others can't. Mr..
DAILY was too restless. He could never
lie still and smile while being stoned
He preferred to get up and throw the
rocks back. In fact, he was not averse
TO trading brick for every pebble.
The immediate result Of the failure
of "Mrs. Warren's Profession" was
that DAILY became faddy. He sought to
establish "a theatre of ideas" The first
idea was that no Newspaper critics
should be invited, and the project died.
Anonymity has always been the great
est foe of martyrdom.
Some little time after the production
OF "Mrs. Warrcn's Profession" DAILY
auarrelied with Shaw, and this was per
haps the most unfortunate event in his
life. His revolt began TO lose conference
again. phiosophically he was again a
Hchoolboy, making faces and shouting

Bernard Shaw Play Soon BY
Washington Square PLAYERS

Mary Shaw will appear with The
Washington Square Players in George
Bernard Shaw's "Mrs. Warren's Pro-
fessicn" at the Comedy Theatre, the
premiere being set for Monday, March
ii. The play, which is to be the fifth
bill of the regular subscription season
Of The Players, is to be given for two
weeks only. This will be the second
time that Miss Shaw has been a guest
of The Players. Last season she played
Mrs. Alving with them in Ibsen's
"Ghosts," and it proved one of the SEN
satlons of the theatrical year. In addi-
ton TO playing the part of Mrs. War
rcn, Miss Shaw will direct the produc-
tion of the play.

Don't Be a Copperhead
A Supposititious Preface By Augustus
Thomas to His Civil War Play, With
Some Veracious Remarks by the Star
By Alexander Pierce

Let US anticipate. When Augustus
Ihomas comes to write preface to
The Copperhead' for his collected
works he will probably point out to
the student of playmaking the object
lessons contained in this drama of the
Civil War and forty years later in
something like the follow.,4 terms:
The manner of plays conception
may vary considerably. Sometimes it
will start from a theme, and again from
a character or from a situation. The
difficulty of the beginning and the
larger problems of the story's develop
ment, together with the ways con-
sidered and chosen to answer them, are
in great measure eliminated when the
play is a dramatization from novel.
| do not wish to be understood as
advocating the adaptation of novels for
dramatic presentation as a regular
practice, for the process involves prob
ably as many disadvantages as ad-
vantages. Most Of my plays, in fact,
have not been adaptations, but in the
case Of "The Copperhead" number. of
very strong attractions were presented
in the story by Frederick Lands. In
addition to these was my own famili-
arity with the country, the types of
character and the period represented.
Furthermore, I must state my doubt
if the production Of novels, even to the
writer temporarily disposed to that
form of expression, is as absorbing as
playmaking. The difference between
the novel and the play is the difference
between zeas and is. Something has
happened for the writer of the novel
