Blanche Ring Wonders
How Actors Came To Be
Designated as $'Stars''

Blanche Rings interest in astron-
omy, being the leading comedienne of
"The Passing Show of 1919" at the
Winter Garden, should naturally lead
her to say something interesting as to
the origin of the word "star" applied
to leading actor or actress.
"As near as I can discover" said Miss
Ring last night, "the use of the word
star as applied to leading actor or
actress dates back to about 1850, OF
more particularly when the first COM
binations, or rather travelling COM
panies, began to tour the country.
Previous to that time we had only
stock companies, and the more impor-
tant actors or actresses of these compa-
MES were called leading men and lead
ing ladies'.
when performers became of suf-
ficient prominence-as, for instance,
Edwin Forrest, Edgar L. Davenport
or my great-grandfather Charles
Fisher-and moved from city to city
or stock company to stock company, or
began touring with their own COM
panies, they were called stars Who
invented this term | have never been
able to find out. Whoever it was, he
must have been a wag. In the first
place, the stars in the heavens move
in circuits, just as do the star actors
"The only difference is that many of
these stars are a thousand times larger
than the earth and fly about with the
retinue of worlds, or commonplace
actors, at the rate Of several hundred
thousand miles an hour. Considering
that several of these stars are a thou
sand times larger than this earth, to
call leading actor star must GER
tainly be satifying to his ego. How
ever, as there are within the limits of
human vision three thousand million
stars in the heavens of various sizes
and Importance, any single stage star
may have occasion for bewilderment-
indeed, humility.
"The multiplication Of our stars may
be hksned to Hydra, terrible mon

Any astronomer will tel: 80, as we'll
as any manager, that she fixed stars
vary in brilliancy; also, that various
stars formerly distinguished by their
spiendor have entirely disappeared.
Others are now conspicuous which were
not very long ago invisible. Other
stars alternately appear and disap-
pear and undergo great periodic
changes.
"The inventor Of this name, stage
star must have had all this in mind,
and must have had in mind the fact
that many stars have all at once
blazed forth with great splendor and
are now extinct. There are In the
heavens double stars also, sort Of

Margaret Deland's Iron Woman which

izations I know"
A lew seasons ago Burns Mantle
suggested an interesting experiment as
proof of the modern actress technical
resources. He urged five actresses then
playing in the city-Emma Dunn,
Frances Starr, Ruth Chatterton, Grace
George and Laurette Taylor-to make q
general exchange of parts, each to give
one performance in an alien role. Thew
might choose their roles. or pick them
out of hat. But only Emma Dunn and
Laurette Taylor leaped to accept the
challenge
isn't it pity that we aren't more
enterprising?" said Miss Taylor.
But the complement to that naive re-
mark was irresistible. After all, dis
erection is frequently the better part.
CT sSatilty is undoubtedly eaSy for
Miss Taylor-it is the breath of her
artistic life. That is why years of
cheap stock acting have left her nm
scathed. 1t is more than bag of ef-
fects to be shrewdly used, and it is even
more than remarkable mimetic gift
1t is something of the Imagination
that not the long run system or the
stock system can either fire or quench.
AS l was going, with a characteristic
lack of embarrassment she told this in
cident. She had given special matt
nee in which she essayed three Shakes
pearian characters, and was severely
reprimanded by most of the critics.
Clayton Hamilton met her some time
later and gave her his opinion with
exceeding frankness.
ooh, WE'LL" said Laurette Taylor. de-
Tending herself, you needn't be so
angry. | haven't ruined Shapeskeare's
reputation" But Mr. Hamilton con-
tinued to be severe "The wonder is"
he said gloomily, that he didn't ruin
yours"
1T wasn't kind, was it?" said Miss
Taylor, with an Irish relish for keen
retort, but it was rather good, don't
you think"

this youthful actress.

Kenyon. "I'm surprised people are

Miss Kenyon disagrees with the mo-
ton picture critics as to which Of her

surprised that some of them should
have preferred "The Bandbox," which
was presented at the Broadway Thea
ter last week, to Twilight" which is
her own favorite. This week she

limit of the other sort Of thing and the

The Limousine and the Girl were by
this time rapidly nearing home, so the
rest of the story CANE in hurry.
Miss Kenyon confessed to being an
out-of- doors sort of girl, fond of ten
mis-, riding and swimming. She was
studying languages at Barnard when
she was offered a part in Princess
Pat" And Languages and singing are
still her pet hobbies.

What the Theater Guild
Expects to Do Toward
Cooperative Theater

When the New York Theater Guild
calls itself a cooperative theater, the
word "cooperative" is not merely a
figure of speech. The cooperative idea
is, as a matter of fact, fundamental in
the whole organization of the guild,
beginning with its financial structure.
Financially, it is cooperative In tho
same sense that every cooperative
store is, which means that. ia addition
to their salaries, practically every
member of the company receives a
definite percentage of the weekly
profits, the larger percentage going to
the actors.
cause it was felt that there was q need
in this country for just such an organ
ization. built upon the democracy Of
idealism and possessed of faith in it's
ability to interpret the work of worth
while dramatists alphabetically and
intelligently. Philip Moeller and Helen
Wesley, founders of the Washington
Square group, and Lee Simonson, who
designed so maay of the settings for
the Washington Square Players pro-
auctions, felt that the maturer posi-
bilities Of that pioneer organization
could now be realized. Helen Freeman.

also became interested in the forms-

A board Of managers, which elects
it's own director, is the executive head
of the guild. This board is composed
Of Philip Moeller, Helen Wesley.

body admitted that it was charming, but
they all ascribed it to the delightful
playing of Laurette Taylor. She did
play extraordinarily we'll in this act.
AS we'll, we think, as we ever have seen
her, scoring all her points with a min
lmum of exort and building up a def

went along. And yet it is not because
of Miss Taylor that the dialogue is ex-
