Tiny Elizabeth Kennedy Quite
Eersed in Barrie A1readv

Little Elizabeth Kennedy. whose role
of Phoebe in the new Eleanor Gates
comedy, phoebe Pretends." Is of the
first Importance, owes her earliest ap-
pearance on the stage to the fortuitous
chance that a discerning person caught
her in moment of play-acting on the
street in front of her Brooklyn home.
Elizabeth was then six. She is not
much older now Her open-air Perform
ance was the direct means of her being
given the part OF Eliza. the little maid
in Peter Pan" with Mauoe Adams, and
with such conspicuous success that she
was retained for the season of "A Kiss
for Cinderella
Miss Gates gives her personal atten-
ton To the welfare of Elizabeth. and
was asked If that important little player
had been insured, as the piece depends
largely upon her presence for its sue
cess. Miss Gates smiled and remarked
something about "old stuff" but as at
that moment the tot was busily holding
her little nose over an inhalator. it was
evident that every care was being taken
of her speaking voice and throat. Among
Miss Kcnnedy's other activities may be
mentioned going to school, assisting at
Liberty Loan drives, playing in stock,
in pictures and wishing one could go to
France to help.

BUCABOO OF BUSINESS
Stage Ideals Demand IT.,
Saws Eugene Walter

Eugene Waiter. who came 10 Philadel-
phia on Thursday to see his wife, who is
starring in his latest play, Nancy
Lee" discussed during the intermission
some of the special conditions that con-
front the American playwright. "One
OF the first obstacles" he remarked, is
the futility of attempting to establish
any situation. or even TO make an i'm
portant single point in the development
of plot by the use Of language alone.
"The American actor is chiefly reSpon-
sible," said Mr.. Walter. 1T Is the fault
of his training. He has been taught
that the most active actor is most likely
to earn his audiences applause and his
managers appreciation, and as result
It is hard to find one who can keep still.
In Europe--in France especially-it is
no uncommon thing to see in a success
fui play such q scene, for example, as
one in which two men seated at table
converse quietly for eight or ten minutes
and thus disclose character and develop
the plays theme. 1t does not seem
necessary for either Of them to offer the
knife or at intervals to arise and stalk
across the room to prevent the audience
from losing its interest in the thread of
their discourse.
Some of the most delightful and most
important scenes in French plays have
had virtually nothing Of what We call
action the words had a meaning big
enough to produce a desired effect, and
the actors were willing to let the lines
do the work. But the American actor
evidently believes that 1t Is not what is
said but how it is said that is really i'm
portant and he introduces a lot of man.

In these columns last Tuesday It was
remarked that the names of p. G.. Wode-

most a habit on recent musical comedy

the authorship of Leave 1t to Jane" is
completed by jerome Kern, whose light
and graceful melodies flow In an appar-
emily inexhaustible stream from that
young composers fiat in F'latbush. Yet
only few years ago all three were vir-
tually unknown to the public and to
each other.
In a modest way Mr.. Wodehouse be-
gan as "colyumist' on the London
Globe. Mr.. Bolton spent futile years in
an architects office. Mr.. Kern had diff
ficulties of his own persuading producers
to give an occasional song public
hearing.

and Mr.. Bolton were beginning work on
a musical comedy and needed lyricist
Kern bethought himself Of Wodehouse.

our young actors do not take the
artistic side of their profession very
seriously and perhaps they are not to be
blamed for this, because there is little
incentive to scholarship or study. but
acting is really an art which calls for a
good deal of scholarship. The actor
should at least be familiar with the his

the profession Of acting. j find that
most of our you're actors are sadly
