AFTER SEVEN YEARS,

A HARGARET LAWRENCE, the
M charming actress at Maxine
= - Enlott's Theatre, It may be
remembered, returned to the stage in
-Tea for Three" after having been
nway for seven years.
The last time Miss Lawrence was
seen on the stage was in "Over
Night one of the successful come
dies of the season Of 1911-12. In the
midst OF her engagement she suddenly
T. announced her retirement from the
stage. Two weeks later it became
known that she had married Orson d.
Mum, now Lieutenant-Co
in the navy.
Indirectly tho war brought Miss
Lawrence back TO the stage. Lieut..
Mum naturally became busy as soon
a. this country entered the war and
o. a result 1t left his wife with more
time on her hands than she knew well
what TO do with. Miss Lawrence felt
that It would be more patriotic for her
TO work and thus earn the money
she wished to give to various war
charities rather than call on her hus-
band even though he Is well able TO
indulge her charities TO a considerable
extent. SO she returned to the foot
lights
II think the greatest change I no
ticed," said Miss Lawrence to the
writer, was in the audiences. They
are both nicer and harder. II that
sounds like paradox, I'll try to eH-
plain it.
In the first place they are more
friendly. You can feel 1t on the stage
you know, whenever you have SYM
pathetic audience; those we play to
are surely sympathetic.
But they are harder to act to for
. all that. Harder in this way-they
have been trained. perhaps by the
movies, to think dramatically. What
I mean is, they anticipate everything
you are going TO say and do. They
think Just about as fast as the author
can write or you interpret what he
has written.
And while It makes 1t harder to
play to them II makes II infinitely
better, l believe, for the theatre. The
interest is genuine and in no way
forced.
"Of course we back OF the stage do
not see quite so much of the changes
out in the front Of the theatre, though
I have been out in front as a patron
quite a few years and l have noticed
. that the theatre each year makes de-
ctded steps forward in the way OF
catering to its patrons. The idea is
and you'll notice this, II nowhere else
