"Old Lady 31' at the Manhattan

Lee Kugel will present "Old Lady 81"
for two weeks and the farewell en-
gagement in New York at the Manhat-
tan Opera House, beginning tomorrow
matinee. Emma Dunn, who has trav-
elled the path that led through Richard
Mansfield's "Pecr Gynt," "Mother" and
David Bclasco's "The Governors Lady"
and who has been consistently lauded
the while, has reached stardom in this
play, which was presented at the Thir-
ty,ninth Street Theatre all last season.
"Old Lady 81" is comedy by Rachel
Crothers, and was suggested by Louise
Forsslund's novel of the same name.
There are a prologue and three acts,
the scenes are laid in q village on the
New England coast and the period is
the early '70s. The story in the main
concerns an aged couple who are COM

Joh, Cumberland
Once an Artist
In az, OlUI Wagon

John Cumberland, the inimitable
farceur, who shares with Florence
Moore the principal honors in "Parlor,
Bedroom and Bath" the farce hit al
the Republic Theatre, has had larger
share of the ups and downs than
usually fall to the lot of the actor,
but the "down" that fingers longest in
his memory is the period when he de-
seconded from the tall peaks OF art to
the humble station of cook in an old
fashioned owl wagon.
A number of years ago there was
period Of inaction on the part OF the
comedian. Something had to be done.
One morning Cumberland read an ad-
vertisement to the effect that night
cook was wanted on a lunch wagon on
the Brooklyn end OF the Brooklyn
Bridge. Up to this time the actor had
never cooked anything, but he made ap-
plication for the job. This is how he
tells the story:
81 got the job and was 20 work from
at night until in the morning.
This night work appealed to me. for it
gave me time to look around the the
atrical agencies in the day.
"Sexen o'clock found me in charge
of the owl wagon, but things were very
quiet until about 10, and from that
time on | was certainly one busy little
man. The types that came in to be
served were mostly printers who
worked over on the New York side and
'roughnecks.' One of the first gues-
lions asked me by one of the men
was, Where's Jim?' jim was my
predecessor and, although a good cook,
he had been fired for tapping the till.
"The boys all watched my egg-fry

She knew that many Americans feel

ssnctiiied phrases OF no particular
significance. And she knew that they
sre to be pardoned in their miscon-
cepton, because too many rcvivals of
Greek drama are made by persons who,
though they are classical scholars, have
no intimate feeling for the theatre. Her
approach TO Sophocles's play was that
tf the trained actress, skilled alike in
comedy, tragedy and romantic drama.
She insisted that, whatever else a
Greek drama may be, it must be, first
Of all, an Ineligible play for the

ulk to one another and reveal their
esshing emotions and wills. After
that, as she well understood, it must be
dramatic poem, but only after that.
Accordingly, she insisted in the
earliest rehearsals Of electra" that
each member Of the cast, even the
humblcst girl of the chorus, must be
, familiar with the whole play from be-
ginning to end. Ut may be men
toned parenthetically, that many an
actor in small part goes through his
stint week after week without having
tho ghost Of an idea what the whole
play is about.) When each young ac-

bidden to speak them again in an ordi-

matter Of fact communication to a
friend. If this did not bring the proper
understanding Of the meaning Miss
Anglin would explain carefully the dra-
matte situation and the emotions in
yolyed. After little friendly convcr-
saiion the meaning always became
clear and the dramatic value of the
lire was assured.
In short, Miss Anglin has found
that the curse which for many has
hovered over the term Greek drama"
has been due chiefly to productions

"The Copperhead,"
BY Augustus Thomas,
ToOpen Neat Week

On Monday, February 1S, John D.
Williams will present at the Shubert
Theatre Augustus Thomas's new play,
"The Copperhcad," with Lionel Barry
more.
This dramatization is suggested by Il
relation of characters in a story called
The Glory of His Country" written
" Frederick Lands, Of Indiana. "The
Coppcrhead" is by Augustus Thomas,
writing Of middle Indiana, just after
Lincoln went East to be President.
Mr. Thomas has divided "Thc Cop
perhead" into two cpochs. The first act
and the second occur at the time Of
the breaking out of the Civil War and
thcreafter-that is, 1861 to 1868, up to
the fall of Vicksburg. Tho second
epoch of "The Copperhead," Acts III
and ", occur forty years later. The
locale Of the scenes is the same
throughout, except for the changes
marked by the passage of different sea-
sons and the inroads of more modern
life.
Doris Rankin plays the chief femi-
nine part in "The Copperhead," acting
q woman Of some thirty years old in
the first epoch and young girl in the
second. Ethelbert Hales. William Nor
ton, Eugene Woodward, Thomas Carri-
gan, Grace Reals, Hayden Stevenson,
Evelyn Archer, Raymond Hackett and
Chester Morris are some of the other
players in the rather large company
that surrounds Mr.. Barrymore.

Here is a very important recon-
mendation-that you coordinate
within the State Defense Council,
state-wise. countrywide and COM
munity-wise, all the various war &C.

Administration, Red Cross, War Saw

mean they surrender their identity
but that there shall be that essential
of all organizations II Democracy Is

work that there shall not be waste
or duplication II does seem there
are certain organizations 30 jealous
of their prerogatives they consider
the winning of the war but by
product. We cannot have our little
petty selflshness and ambitions. This
is time that tries mems souls and
cannot tolerate that spirit, There
must be coordination of activities OF
liberalization within the State
Defense Council of permanent local
instrumentalities such as chambers
of commerce.
THE county councils are replica
OF state councils It Is very i'm
portant that there be below the state
and county council an institution
which we call in Connecticut our
War Bureaus but which are gen.
orally called Community Councils of
Defense ! understand you are or

good state defense council and good
county councils and no community
councils you haven't any council OF
defense In Idaho. II you had gen.
eral staff of the army but didn't have

onel, you would not have an army
without colonies, majors, captains.
! lieutenants, ETC., you would have no
way by which an order from the
general staff would be repeated to

the same In making Democracy eff
cient through state councils of de-
fense--there must be machinery ex-
tending from Washington-the Presi-
dent of the United States-right

Tense, to your government, to your

and finally repeated to communities
and individuals. When you have
that you have organization.

lated sections, overlooking nothing
that can contribute to the success OF
the war---was urged by them and
they rivited fhis into the minds Of
all.
One OF the most constructive adj
dresses before the state war con-
ference was that Of Gorge Brinton
Chandler, representative OF the Coun-
ell of National DENSE and recog-
nized as one OF the premier organizers
In war work In the United States.
Following a discourse on Democracy
and it's history, he made valuable
recommendation to the state and
county councils which are excerped
from his addresses as follows:
Il recommend that the State
Council of Defense be established by
law, statutory enactment, and be
adequately financed by public funds.
1t is impossible for me to say what
your contribution will be to this war,
but considered on the basis of popu-
lation your contribution to this war,
assuming that the United States
government expends about $4,000
100000 during the next year, will
be the astonishing figure of about
100000 per day. Either you will
mortgage your future or you will
buy liberty bonds or war savings
stamps---in some way contribute to
the preservation OF human liberty
and the price will be 100000 a day.
