The Missing Lillian

Lillian had the ''flu!"
That's the perfectly plain answer to
the nonappearance of Lillian Gish in
D. W. Griffith's newest production
"The Girl Who Stayed at Home at
Loew's Palace this week. 1t also ex-
plains the rise to prominence Of a new
film star, Clarine Seymour, who was
given her great chance through that
same attack of influenza
Ever since Mae Marsh left the Grif-
fifth standard Miss Gish has been cast
in the role opposite Robert Harron.
Harron and Miss Marsh made a splen-
did dramatic team. but when Miss
Marsh left, Miss Gish was cast in the
Marsh role.
Heart of the World" was the first
big Griffith production which brought
Harron and Miss Gish together as
teammates and the success they joint
ly scored vindicated Griflth's judg-
men. Then followed several Griffith
Aircraft pictures in which they were
jointly starred and by the time THE
Girl Who Stayed at Home" was ready
for release, the public had come to ex-
pect the Harron-Gish combination, as
a matter of course
The first showings of this film at the
Palace last Sunday, however, raised
a storm of questions:
What had happened to Lillian
Gish?" Had she and Griffith quar-

soon to appear on the market, and If
Jennings can convince the fans that
his bad man is the goods, we can
expect to see new two-gun' hero

In discussing his reformation and
his career as an evangelist, Jen-
nings tells how he was held up on
his way to a meeting and robbed
of his watch and money. Later, he
saw the thief in the audience.

veal him to the police. / want to

Mr.. MantelPs Place
In Classic Tragedy

That Robert Mantell. who comes to
the Shubert-Garrick Theater for the
week commencing next Sunday, in a
repertoire OF Shakespeare, is worthy
to rank with tragedians such as Bur-
bage, Garrick, Kean, Kemble, Forrest,
the Booths and Irving, is admitted by
nearly every critic Of prominence.
The late William Winter who was
Mantell's senior by about twenty
years, and who was a sort of artistic
godfather to him, told Mr.. Mantell a
short time before Winters death that
audiences of today would laugh at the
rant and roar OF Forrest and his con-
temporaries, just as the gallery gods
got to laughing at blood and thunder
melodrama, finally driving 1t from the
stage.
Prof. H. II. Hay, of Girard College,
Philadelphia, coworker with the late
Horace Howard Furness on the yario-
rum shakespeare, expressed the opin-
ION not long ago that Mantell is su-
perior In every respect to Forrest, and
much more versatile actor than
Booth. completely eclipsing Booth in
such great parts as Lear and othelIo

stage.

critic. whose memory also extends

MIR. Drinkwater' S Lincoln

England has seen John Drinkwater's
Abraham Lincoln" acted in advance
of America. The poet, who is also
something of a theatrical producer,
presented his play at the Lyric Opera
House in Hammersmith. in West Lon
don, on February 19. and himself
played a small role. The account in
the London Times of the following
day is in part as follows:
From the nature OF the subject it
lacks many things which are supposed
to be necessary to drama; humor, for
instance, of which Mr.. Drinkwater
has been perhaps oversparing; love
interest of the usual kind, although
the pretty glimpse which he gives us
of LincoIn's relations with his wife
ought to be enough to flavor the play;
and emotional appeal in general,
Customed to find offered through Ques-
tions of politics and philanthropy. 1t
is all. in fact. little 'high-brow,
and none the less welcome for that in
these days when the drama is mostly
as low-brow as are some ladies' hats.
Lincoln was, first and foremost r.
picturesque figure. He might have
done all he did and more and yet
have been less admired than he is on
this side of the Atlantic, IL he had
not carried with him so much of the

log cabin into the White House. Mr..
Drinkwater is careful to give the
actor of the part. William J. Rea,
plenty of opportunities for what We
might call the Barnard statue side of
the man: and in the huge hands stick
ing out from shirt sleeves. the sloven-
ly clothes. the shocking hat. which so
worried poor Mrs. Lincoln, and the
general behavior. Mr.. Rae is far
more Barnard than Saint-Gaudens.
But Mr.. Drinkwater and Mr.. Rea
do not stop short at that. In each
of the six scenes. which take US
from what was practically the offer
Of the Presidency in 1860 to the
assassination in the thcater in 1865,
we find this or that point Of Lin
coins character and passion brought
out. We sec Lincoln reading Arta-
mus Ward aloud to calm the nerves
of his Cabinet; bidding his sadly
harried secretary read to him about
the cloud capped towers, because
he feels tired: pardoning a soldier
who had fallen asleep on his post:
chatting with a negro; promising to
buy a new hat-sOme day; and
rounding magnificentlv on a treach-
erous member of his Cabinet, one
Burnett Hoole, who was acted by a
Mr.. John Darnley,' not unrecog-
nizable, under his makeup. as the
author of the play.
Deeper still, we see the agony
and the determination with which
Lincoln brought his country into
the war and maintained II in war
until the cause was won; his woe. at
the loss of life; his unconquerabIe
faith in victory; his gradual reali-
zation that not only the Union but
abolition was necessary to the
health of his country; his insis-
tence on clemency to the vanquish-
ed. All this and more of Lincoln's
great character and lofty philan-
thropic passion Mr.. Drinkwater Of
fers in musical and shapely prose,
and Mr.. Rea, whose performance
was remarkably penetrating and
well-sustained, brought it all out
in the acting. His Irish brogue
was no drawback in a production
which did not profess to be Ameri-
can in external trifies.
The weakest part of the whole
thing is the choruses. spoken by
two female 'chroniclers' in non
committal robes. These poems read
well; but they are unnecessary in
so direct and broadly planned a
play as this, and they became, be-
fore the close, than a little
disturbing"

work with herr" What was the mat
ter?"
The Griffith interests, in announcing
The Girl Who Stayed at Home" had
neglected to explain the absence of
Miss Gish from her usual combination
with Harron. In some quarters II
was firmly believed that Miss Gish's
next appearance would not be under
the Griffith banner. However, the
matter was all cleared up early in the
week by a personal representative of
Mr.. Griffith, who assured the public
that Miss Seymours rise does not
mean the eclipse of Lillian Gish. The
Griffith production forces rate the dis
covery of Miss Seymour, who plays
opposite Harron in the newest Grif-
fifth output, simply as a fortunate
find" and while it is probable that
Miss Seymour will have prominent
parts in forthcoming Griffith pictures
enthusiastic admirers of Miss Gish are
reassured that she is D. w. G. star
in full title.
incidentally, the weeks showing of
''The Girl Who Stayed at Home at
the Palace is emphasizing the real
luck of the Griffith studio in discover
ing the Seymour girl. Prior to her
appearance with Griffith, she had ap-
peared in slap-stick comedy where
beauty as well as comic ability is a
prime asset. THE Girl Who Stayed
at Home" marks her first big chance
at a film career.
