Cloaks of dream to fold
Stranger-folk from rain of tcsEs,

Mrs. Fiske has been identified with
the beginnings of large number of
playwrights. Her production of Ed
ward Sheldon's first play, salvation
Nell" in 1908, while Sheldon was still
an undergraduate at Harvard, is per-
haps the best-remembered example of
Mrs. Fiske's willingness to experiment
with the aspiring young dramatist.
"Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," which she
produced in 1911, was the first play
by Harry James Smith, who has since
written "a Tailor-Madc Man" Leah
Kleschna" was G. II. S. McClellan's
first play. She produced Becky Sharp"
in 1911, the first play Langdon Mitchell
ever wrote. Later on she followed it
with his "Thc New York Idea" and
"The New Marriage" Lorimer Stod-
dard, who made the dramatization of
"Tess Of the D'Urbcrvilles," and Mar
ian de Forest, who made "Erstwhile
Susan" out of "Barnabetta," also owe
their introduction to the public to
Mrs. Fiske.
"Mis' Nelly Of N'Orleans," in which
Mrs. Fiske is now playing, is not the
first produced play from Laurence
Eyre's pen, but it is the first success
full one. Some time ago Mrs. Fiske
saw play Of this young authors in an
out-of-town tryout, and was so i'm
pressed with his work that she gave
I him the suggestion for this play oat

The effect Of the mysterious light
that CLOVIS in "The Unknown Purple"
has required some striking departures
in the use of colors in that play. For
instance, to neutralize the effect of the
purple rays, Richard Bennett is COM
PEELED to wear a green wig in order to
get the appearance Of white-haircd
man. Holen McKellar's costumes had
to be tested under a purple light so
that the colors might not be submerged
when the room was flooded in purple
shadows. 1t was found that emerald
green held its color, no matter how
strong the violet rays, that black threw

Plays and Players

Swallowed and that amethyst did not
lose it's identity
The theory of makeup had also to be
revised, as the purple glow has dis
astrous effect on the red and white
ordinarily used. Instead of fesh-col-
ored powder, mauve and yellow-colored
powders had to be used, and these had
to be expressly made. Instead of
blue pencil for the eyes purple crayon
is used. All articles that have to
show up as white are tinted lavender
or green.
The younger actresses arc having
their innings. The avidity of Broad
way for new faces is such that shrewd
managers realize they are taking no
risk in entrusting leading roles in i'm
portant productions to young &C
tresses who have little reputation and
experience, but who have youth and
charm. Mona Bruins, who is to have
the part Of Susan Lenox in the play
made by George v. Hobart from David
Graham Phillips's book, "The Rise and
Fall Of Susan LcnoX," shortly to be pro-
duced by the Shuberts, is an actress
quite unknown to upper Broadway.
She is at present appearing in "Ho-
bohemia" which is as near as she has
ever come TO Broadway in the three
years of her stage career. And she is
less than twenty years old.
Constance Binney, who will have the
leading role in Rachel Crothers's new
play, "S9 East" is also not out of her
teens. And this will be the first
speaking part she has ever played. She
has appeared on Broadway only twice,
in both instances as q dancer. Lack
of experience would seem to be an
asset.

Inform your troops that all Anseri

tation of the American soldier fol
valor and his splendid discipline un
der the most trying conditions have
endeared every member of the expe
dictionary forces not only to his

Their comrades in France have
not forgotten that the Americans in
North Russia are part of the expdi
tionary forces and we are proud tc
transmit to you the generous praise
of the American people. l feel sure
every soldier in Northern Russia will
join his comrades here in the high
resolve of returning to America with
unblemished regulations.
81 wish every soldier in Northern

Asks industrial Board and Rail
Administration to Try to
Reach Agreement.
new PLAN OF ACTION
Probably Means Policy Of St%abiIizing
Prices by Agreed Reductions from
War Levels Will Be Con.
tinued, Many Assert.

Washington, April 19.-The indus
trial board Of the department of COM
merce and the railroad administra-
ton are directed by President Will
son to reopen discussion of price
sterilization and seek to find a COM
mon ground on which they can agree.
Chairman G. N. Peek announced that
the board would take up the question
with the railroad administration imme-
diately, but any action probably would
have to await the return of Director
General w. D. Hines next week from
his inspection trip in the west.
The president directed that negotia.
lions between the two agencies which
resulted in a wide breach in the cab
met be Immediately reopened. He is
understood not to have indicated his
views as to which party in the con.
troversy should prevail, but simply
asked that further efforts be made to
settle the dispute.
The text Of the presidents cable.
gram was not made public.
Reply Made to Redfield.
The presidents cablegram was ad.
dressed to Secretary w. C. Redfield.
Mr.. Redtield, after a conference with
Mr., Peck. Assistant Secretary Sweet
and Solicitor Thurman cabled the
president asking whether the board
should so out OF existence because of
the refusal Of the Railroad Admins
tration to accept a new schedule of
steel prices arranged with the indus,
try, or should continue quiescent until
the president returned and a new plan
of action should be worked out. The
presidents action is accepted by many
as meaning the policy of stabilizing
prices by agreed reductions from wal
levels will be continued.
