Actress Wishes
She Could Talk
In Silent Dramas

Madeline Traverse, who succeeded
Nillette Kershaw in Eyes or Mo- at the
Longacre, has been dallying with the
movies for the last five years The last
play she appeared in was the Chicago
company that presented "Seven KEYS
to Baldpate" When that ended its tour
she went over to the movies.
She specialized in vampires, and was
so depicted on the screen in several
offerings. She is big woman, a de-
cded brunette, and bears striking re
semblance to Maxine Elliott One of
her movie achievements was playing
the role of the Queen in Elinor Gyms
hectic "Three Weeks" She is daugh-
ter Of Richard Trelegen. one-time pro-
prietor of the Boston Museum and a
director Of stock companies for many
years.
Miss Traverse received her early
training in one Of the stock companies
that her father directed This stock
company toured the Middle West, and
few CT the one-night stands escaped its
visitation. The training she received
then has been of inestimable value to
her ever since. But she is glad to get
back to the speaking stage, if only to
hear her own voice again.
The silent drama gets on your
nerves after time" says Miss Tray
erse, because you must keep your
mouth shut. The players who have
grown up in the movies don't mind this,
but to any one who has been on the
speaking stage it comes hard not to be
giving voice to some ones lines when
you are depicting part that is being
filmed
at is uncanny not to be able to talk
when you arc trying to act, and when I
first started had the greatest difficulty
in trying 10 overcome the habit OF
keeping my lips moving. 1t isn't the
women who suffer most thia way. FOR
many we'll known actors find the same
difficulty.
Loss of initiative is another fault
with film work that is sure to bother
you if you have an active mind and
want to use it. The ideal movie actress
is the one who does just what she is
told to do-no more or no less. Sug.
gestions are taboo unless you happen
to be a star. The ordinary movie
player is merely an automaton, and
soon grows to act like one. But it Is
interesting work, and remunerative. If
one only could work three months for
the screen and a like time on the speak
ing stage it would be an ideal way Of
making a living"

The Play of Tomorrow
BY Leo Ditrichstein

The play of yesterday IS retro
spective; the play of to-day is present,
but the play of Tomorrow is prospect
i've and apprehensive. What | mean
by that is this: The theatre IS the
barometer of conditions and influence,
it is the first institution to suffer from
financial contraction or conservation.
simply because it is luxury, and is.
with the possible exception of the pur-
chase Of diamonds, the least of neces-
sary expenditures; therefore, in times
of depression, financially or socially.
the theatre is the stethoscope that
registers the pulse of the public and
indicates the depth of its influence by
the nightly attendance, and is an abso.

reflection of the people as a commu-
nifty and nation.
