Megrue Insists on
Justice for Husbands

The harm that husbands have suf-
fered from the neglect of playwrights
is .incalculable. On the surface, of
course, there is little open indication
now of purely husbandy Bolshevism,
but there can be no doubt that q con-
tinued policy of neglect will bring the
low murmur coming from husbands
here and there in theatre lobbies into
resounding revolt against such in
justice. Playwright after playwright
comes from real life to the theatre
only to turn tratorously against the
class he sprang from, and the husband
goes on year after year, merely foil
for the exploited brilliancies, problems,
adventures, sins and careers of wives.
But every dog has his day, and if the
metaphor can be varied for the mo-
ment, the worm is beginning to turn.
The husband is to have his little hour.
A world which has been used to seeing
him sent out into the night that peo-
pie are sent out into in the second act
Will find him on the other side of the
door, standing at r. u. E., with his
hand uplifted, saying nobly: "Go, wom-
an, and sin no morei"
1t is by no means strange that tho
revolt should come from q playwright
who has had his full fling at his wife's
side Of the case and has found her TN
grateful. After long season Of "Tea
for Three in New York, Ro Cooper
Megrue has turned his heart back to
his own kind. "coifes for FOUR

fore the last curtain, "she can" But
what OF, the husband? Are wives to
set aside the barriers Of convention for
n better, richer world and husbands TO
stay penned behind the cage, yearning
their hoarts out, creatures Of habit who
must always stand apart from more

Mcgrue, or words to that effect
When "Tea for Three" was first pre-
sentcd wife asked the playwright to

her husband and her patonic friend

contemplation. IF wives had casc TO

testimony to an old loyalty. r. B.

Why I Am Not u

and they played the parts that be-
longed to that line whether they fitted
them or not. And this was particu-
larly tho rule with stock companies.
OF course the line was not drawn SO
fine in the case of a production,
To-day when a play is cast the char
actcrs of it arc closely studied and
actors who most closely resemble them
physically arc apt to be chosen. The
first question asked is, "Will he or shc
look the part?" Appearance counts for
great deal and personality as we'll.
Cln the old days personality used to
be called magnctism) The play cast.
the director sometimes insists on the
actor playing his part in a way which
IS not natural to him, and often this
destroys his personality 49, the very
'hihg he was first engaged for. be-
lleve this is mistake, for if an actor
cannot play role the way he feels it
the part will not fit him and he will
never be q success in the role.
Amusing things happen some ctimes in
connection with this type" system. |
was playing few years ago in a sue
ccssfal piece in which were so many
small parts that in some instances
actors not only doubled" but "tripled"
the roles. One man who played three
parts was taken i'll one day and an
other actor was engaged TO replace
him. He had played the three parts
for about a week when the manager
went to him one day and gave him his
two weeks notice of dismissal. "What
is the matter?" inquired the actor.
You are not the type" replied the
manager. "For which part ?" was the
question. 1t is not on record what the
manager said to that.
l have always believed that acting is
not to act but just to believe in what
you are saying. If you do that your
audience will believe it too. And if
they dopt-well, blame the way the
part is written.

Why, it was only few years ago
that men and women were asking the
meaning of the word "bighty," but
they all know what it means now; like
wise the other British slang terms. In
other words, "The Better ole" is al
most as much American now as it is
British.
