A Ring of Benares
Strangely Affects
Macy Harlan

Several years ago, when Macy Har-
lam was playing an East Indian in
Inside the Lines" he made the &C.
quaintance of an English army officer,
who later became one Of his closest
friends. Recently the officer came to
this country to recuperate from his
wounds, went to see Mr.. Harlam's per-
formance of a Hindu in eyes of
Youth" at the Maxine Elliott Theatre,
and presented him with beautiful tur-
quoise ring several hundred years old.

Of Benares.
The stone is shadowy and filled with
mists of time. 1t has in it the smould-
ering mystery of the East; an awesome
antiquity; suggestion of the spirit

Mr.. Harlan wore the ring continu-
ally. During the intermissions of the
play he studied it intently. 1t seemed
to him to create an atmosphere vividly

When Edna Ferber
interviewed Houd;n;

One night some years ago when
Houdini was playing in the Middle
west extracting himself with ease
from the most complicated shackles
which the ingenuity of the local police
could devise, he was asked for an inter
view by reporter.
When she came to his dressing room
she proved to be a thin slip Of a Girl
with her hair in a pigtail and tied with
a red ribbon. At first Houdini was in
clined to shirk the interview. for T.
hardly seemed worth while to answer
the timid questions Of an amateur.
Then the little girl won him by tell
ing him she came from his home town.
Appleton, Wis. he gave her tho re-
quired material, and later obtained a
copy Of the article. 1t was a little
fowery and youthful. but it had a
touch Of originality and showed
promise.
1t is now one Of the treasures Of his
scrapbook, for little Edna Ferber has
made her mark in tho world, and it is
question whether Appleton, Wis, is
prouder of "Mrs. McChesney" or the

Lou Tellegen Wants
Every One to Fence

Lou Tellegen believes in universal
military training for the youth of
America, ard adds that tho art Of fenc-
ing should be made an important part
OF the curriculum Of the young soldier,
Il am reminded by the very title of
my play, Blind YOUTH of this great
necessity Of preparedness, this placing
OF the honorable weapon Of defence in
the hands Of the unsophisticated
YOUTH said Mr.. Tellegen.
"The battle Of the Marne taught ma
that with all their vaunted training
the Germans had not been schooled to
the use of the cold steel, that they
could not look at the point of the bay-
onet without wavering. Every French
man knows how to fence, and even in
our little neutral Holland the bows
eye is trained to follow the point of
the sword and drive it home into his
adversary at the proper moment.
Fencing is the great preliminary
step to the heavier use Of the bayonet.
In the long years to come before the
next war the boy must be schooled. and
above all his eye must be trained in
close combat The better the fencer.
the better the broad swordsman; and
the better the broad swordsman, the
better the bayonet fighter. Let each
ono picture to himself the moment
when he may come to grips with a
vicious opponent. Then only his faith
aul bayonet stands between him and
the final slash Of the knife"

Irene Fenwick Reveals Her Past
Actress Wants To Be Good, but Can Play OnIv
Bad Women

Irene Fenwick, appearing as Mrs.
Tudway, the would-be runaway wife in
"Lord and Lady Algy" at the Broad.
hurst Theatre, is tired Of playing bad
women. Her first great success was as
Lily in The Song Of Songs" and since
that time she has wanted to get away
from the wicked women Of the theatre,
but as all important parts written for
actresses seem to be those of bad
women she has little hopes for the
future. Even if the women are not bad
they are emotionally naughty.
Miss Fenwick began her stage career
in the chorus Of musical comedy,
peggy From Paris" From this she
went after three weeks to an ingenue
role in one Of Lulu Glaser's productions.
where Charles Frohman saw her and
put her in The Brass Bottle" and "The
Speckled Band" Her first featured en-
gagement was her acting the role of
Kiki in ''The Zebra" g comedy success
full in England but not very we'll re-
ceived in this country. Several farces
followed, includinl "The Million" and
Hawthorne, U. S. A." the latter with
Douglas Fairbanks. Then she left in
genues to play bad women. Her first
role Of this sort was that of Kitty in
"The Cupboard" A brief respite came
with Ruth in "Along Came Ruth"
Ruth's career was short and it's end
brought Miss Fenwick to her greatest
success, "The Song of Songs" This was
followed by "The Correspondent" ""The
Guilty Man" and "Mary's Ankle" She
has done several motion pictures, the
latest of which is "The Sin Woman"

Ditrichstein
Discusses the
Drama S Status
Asks if Democratizing of
World Would Harm
Art

Would the democratizing Of the
world handicap dramatic art?" was the
question Leo Ditrichstein asked the
world at large the other night in his
dressing room at the Cohan Theatre
when the subject came up for discus
sion. A controversy followed in which
five voices expressed as many opinions.
Mr.. Ditrichstein's view brought forth
tho accusation, "Why, you're Royal
ist!"
"Of course. Isn't he playing The
king?" offered the wit Of the party.
"a Royalist? Oh, mol Yet again,
perhaps yes, in a way" replied the
star.
"fou sec monarchies have always en-
encouraged art for arts sake, while de-
mocracies have commercialized it. Dra-
matte art was fostered in the begin
ming by Europe, and the sovereigns of
tho different European countries re-
garded state aid as essential to encour-
aging and realizing the highest ideals
Of art.
ain France there is still the IA
nous Comedie Francasc, conducted
to-day under the conditions established
by Louis XIV. In Spain monarchs rec
ognlzed dramatic and literary art by
creating state Offices and allowing GER
tain sums of money yearly to such men
as Calderon dc la Barca, the play
wright, Cervantes and others.
"1n England, from the Elizabethan
period until now, titles, decorations,
endowments have been presented to
representatives of dramatic art. Scan
dinavia, Germany, Russia and other
monarchies have endowed state the
atres.
"Now, what would like to know is. if
monarchies were abolished would it
mean that the state theatres would 20
out of existence? Would the status Of
actors be ignored? Would dramatic
art then be regarded in the same man
ner as that with which a greengrocer
looks upon a cabbage?
u do not think so. The theatre is
too solidly established to be shaken by
any change in government. After all.
however, the solidity of the drama lies
solely with the public. 1t is more a
question of individual support now
than of politics.
IAN encouraging circumstance is the
progress made by our sister republics
in South America. They have sustained
the lyric and dramatic stage, and this
example, l trust, would be followed in
Europe even though the entire political
map should be changed.
s'l deplore the fact that our states
men do not regard the theatre as es-
sential to the public's welfare. / wish
there could be state theatre at WASH
ington, where the best dramatic litera-
ture of the world could be produced.
"This would set standard for the an.
tire country, and soon the other states
would follow this example"
