WmfieLd'S First
Success.

IN AVID WAKEFIELD, who
comes to the Brandeis
- in his revival of "The Auc-
toner" was recently commenting on
the fact that very few players who
have once made a distinct hit in one
play are able to follow up this
success with another. Although Mr..
Warheld has had three distinct sue
cesses in his eareer-"The Auc-
tioneer," The Return of Peter
Grimm" and "The Music Master"
having been produced in the II years
since he and David Belasco first
joined hands-there are few actors
who have been so fortunate in this
respect.
1T is a strange fact and one wor-
thy of consideration" says Mr. War
field, "that players who have made
signal successes in one part have al
ways experienced the greatest diff
ficulty in securing a second great
success. Audiences get attached to
plays and those plays seemingly
can run on for ever The public
pays more for what it wants than
for what a manager may guess it
wants, therefore there are plenty of
these artistic Frankensteins. Now
and then some player is persuaded
to branch out, to undertake new
and different roles demanding a dis
play of versatility, but the public
has grown accustomed to. seeing its
favorites in the roles they love and
so turns a cold shoulder to all such
ventures.
"More than one of the present day
actors have encountered this same
difficulty, while theatrical records
fairly bristle with the names Of play
ers who continued in one role season
after season"
