 From Boston where William Hodge has been playing for the past two months in The Guest of Honor in which he will be seen it the Shubert, New Haven. for three days, commenc- ing New Years Day, the most entFu- siastic reports have been received as to the stars success in lis newest play. Previous records for receipts held by Mir. Hodge iu the Hub have been shattered by this play which takes position as the finest vehicle he has had since the days of The Man From Home" in which he ap- peared five seasons.
 Like The Road to Happiness, D Fixing Sisters and "A Cure for Curables.'' The Guest of Honor is from the pen of Mr. Hodge himself Having an intimate Knowledge of his own capabilities it can readily be imagined that Mir. Hodge has written for himself a part not exactly bereft of opportunities. In addition he has drawn some thoroughly human char acters whose prototypes are instantly recognizable and therefore are en- joya bIe.
 The cast with which MT. Hodge has surrounded himself Is an exception ally competent one including Jane Houston. Jennie Lamont, Ethel Winthrop, Miriam McCauley, Jane Loring, Jean Howard. Scott Cooper, Charles W. Butler, Brigham Royce, Graham Lucas. J. Albert Hall, David A. Leonard, George Lund, Howard Morgan, George Syndham, etc.

VIOLA BATTLES WITH
 JAPANESE LANGUAGE
 AND MAKES PROGRESS

Viola Dana, the dainty star. is making a desperate attempt to mas ter few words of the Japanese Ian- guage so she can chat with the little brown kiddies who are with her in The Willow Tree, the Screen Classics, Inc. production of the Co., han and Harris stage success now being filmed at the Metro studios at Hollywood.
 The first word Miss Dana picked up was ohio. Upon inquiry she discovered this was the Nipponese morning salutation. Next Miss Dana learned the good bye" word, which is ''Sayonora". The latest addition to Miss Dana's oriental vocabulary is kagadesuka". In the English Ian guage that is just plain How are you?"
 Since Miss Dana started filming The Willow Tree, under the direc- tion of Henry Otto, the Metro stu diOs have taken on the appearance of a modern Japanese village. Every where the Japanese children fit in their quaint native garb-complet even to the funny little sandals which they manage to keep on their tiny feet by toe power.

LYRIC
(Review

The Little School Teacher as presented by the Polls Players at the Lyric theatre this week pleased all at the opening session of the show last night and not even dur ing its long run in the big city did the play get across the boards with any better success than last night.
 There are 21 characters in the show but the credit for the piece must go to Miss Mary Ann Dentler the demure leading lady O the Lyric players as she played a very versa tile part in the production last night and put it across well.
 The ploy opens with the teacher coming from New Yoark to a Yer mont village and depicts the experi- ences of the girl in overcoming the prejudices of the village. By her winning ways and charming smile Miss Dentler as Miss Emily West, the Little Teacher" comes "out on top and wins the love of the whole village and earns their gratitude for what she has done.

Corner of Paris Art
 Salon Reproduced In
 Studios for New Drama

One end of the statuary oval Of the famous Art Salon in Paris has been built In replica on one of the stages of the Metro studios in HaIIy- wood for Should A Woman Tell 2" the melodrama by F'inis Fox now under production by Screen Classics Inc, featuring Alice Lake and an all star supporting cast including Jack Mulhau and Frank Currier.
 Before designing the setting. Amos Myers, technical director for the company, spent much time in re- search. He consulted books con ta3ning photographs of the famous art showpIace, and received the views of Victor Andre, mural scu1p- tor and head of the Metro modelling department, who studied in Paris.
 The setting is used in an episode of the story showing how Albert Tu- ley, (played by Jack MuIhaID for merly a Maine fisherman with knack for modelling statuettes from clay, has become a noted sculptor and has had a statue accepted for the Salon.

Hello America 3 brand new show in burIesque this season which comes to the Park Theatre next Thursday gives up one whole scene to a Min streI First Part.

This year and next We are to have a least three new singers who will essay the role of Carmen" ir grand opera Applying the principles of dramatic criticism. 70 music they may be warned by -4c z:.--;-3aarls shat unless they have sg.-.rt5ljng new to offer in the matter ot conception. it were better that they desist Ma dame Marguerite SyIya is the ereates of the present day "Carmen's'' but that has not prevented Mary Garden from siaugh htering the multitude to make a holiday for her own Car men" Mary Garden more than any singer-or shall we say actress 2--On the operatic stage has ''soInething to offer. No pent up Utica circum- scTibed her activities. She hewed out Q Carmen that is unlike every ''CaFrn en- ever seen or heard.
 This would have been an artistic achievement had she succeeded in building a creation which would measure within miles of tradition, dramatically and lyrically. She has done nothing of the sort. She has given a new creation which is Mary Garden. but operaticalIy might as well be "Thais'' as ''Cleopatra'' "Aph- rodite" or ''Carmen'
 So the question naturally arises, if we accept the dIctum of our music critic, whether a new singer is justi- fled in following the lines laid down by any other singer, or if she must hew a new crea tion from her own imagination. Manifestly the latter proposition is absurd. Tradition must be respected. A painter is jus tifed in framing the figure of his i'm aginauon, but to he a painter he must use paint, however cleverIy they are blended One can only deViate from tradition when one discovers that tra- dition is wrong.

POIS'S

Langdon Mccormack. producer of The Forest Fire" and numerous other spectacular acts, has given to Bridgeport with his "On The High Seas which is playing at Polls one of the most unusual, let alone dra- matic, acts which theatregoers in the city have ever had an opportunity of witnessing.
 It is a melodrama in four scenes with a cast of eleven persons and is absolutely devoid of that make-shift Ogether appearance which the majority of big acts have. The principals, Isabel Req ard Joseph Phillips are excellent in their respec- tive parts-which are not altogether easy ones to play well. Throughout the entire piece there Is just enough action, intensity and dramtic situa- tions to make the act a huge sue cess.
 "A Ton of Pep .s a classical tf- tie for the act offered by June Mills and Company. June, who is round rather than fat, is an exceedingly live ly person notwithstanding her ex- cessive weight and puts over a num- ber of catchy songs with the assist ance of her "company," which gen. tleman has an excellent voice.

WILLARD LEWIS
 HAS GRIEVANCE

Willard Lewis has a grievance about the parts which he plays In pictures. That seems a trifIe ungracious of him for out at the Goldwyn studio he has been given very good parts, indeed, in the support of Pauline Frederick. But never yet has be been filmed playing billiards. And Louis, be it known. is always winnin g a championship at some club for his proficiency in billiards. will Rogers gets a chance to throw a lariat on the screen and Geraldine Farrar is shown as a primma donna receiving the plaudits of the multi tude and Mabel Normand has a chance to show what a good swimmer she is. But am I allowed to play billiards? I am not. And it isn't fair, and when I sign a contract again, the first thing I am going to stipu- late is that I be given a chance to show what can do best of all"

 Of late the newspa pers have taken a deeper interest in this subject than previously. After a recent concert in New York, in which Madame Ru- ano Bogislav, the noted singer of folk songs, sang some exceptionally inter- esting Russian songs, one of the vet er&n critics of the city observed
 Tt is well to have q singer of such exceptional ability as Madame Bog isIav sings such songs. It reminds Americans that there is a still real Russia. The music of Russia must be protected for posterity. The BoI- shevik regime has all but depleted Russia of music and art. We many find ourselves in the position of a. mandatory over music and at Of Russia, and Madame Bogtslav has brought before the music loving pub lie in a most emphatic and effective manner the need of supporting and encouraging the singing of the songs of the other Russia, the Russia of the great masters"
 More than ever the Russian musi- clans are coming to the United States to escape tEn rev conditions in thel- former wonderful country.
 We throw ourselves on the mercy of America, declared Neronina Ves- off, the noted Russian dancing teach CT the other day. 'Without her kindly offices the real art of the real Russia will die"
 It Is a serious question, the wis dom Of erecting monuments to the memory of military heroes. but dur ing the late war it was significant mat many of the statues to enemy r2usicaI gen'uses not ore came under public ban. The Wagner statue Tn New York, and those typifying other German musical geniuses from Bee thoven down, remained untouched. Happily art is being -enoved from the theatre of warfare and if this be accepted, the memory of Theodore Leschitezky, the great teacher and artist, who brought forth so many geuiuses of the keyboard should be recognized hy Americans, who are under such a heavy obligation to him. Each concert season in New York gives fresh evidence of the genius of this great teacher, from whom So many American pianists received their inspiration.
