simultaneously from the Atlantic to

every city. town. hamlet and farm on

Not that I care personally" said
Mr.. Jones, with murderous CLEAN in
his eyes, but it effects my personal
liberty. Besides, it's q hard role to
play without rehearsals, and most OF
the cast have never tried It. And It
proves my contention that farce is the
hardest kind of thing to play. Pathos
Is easy; If you can't make people cry
by soft means you can at least hit
| them on the head. But how are you
going to get laugh out Of the man
or woman who won't laugh?

Mr.. Jones began his career in Gin
cinnati as treasurer of the Grand OPP

box office Of a theatre is the best place
in the world in which to study farce
types. When people buy seats for
the theatre says MT. Jones, they
always turn their farcical side toward
the poor treasurer. Why do people go
daffy while buying theatre seats?"
While treasurer OF the theatre Mr..
Jones whiled away his leisure moments
in the gymnasium on the roof OF the
theatre and soon became a proficient
acrobat. He practised not only alone,
but with the various acrobatic troupes
who played Cincinnati and went to

r VEN in Washington, D. c.,
r where they have moving pic
ture shows on Sunday, It is
unusual for a public official to 20 to
the movies instead of to church and
then to brag about 1t. But when he
went to see open Your Eyes" the
photodrama which began its New
York engagement at the Central The
atre on Saturday, Secretary Harry
Almond of the Metropolitan police
department OF the District OF Column
bia not only Dragged about 1t but
stated that he was glad he went to
the picture show instead OF to church
Furthermore, he put himself on
record In writing to this effect In the
following letter TO the producers of
this thrilling screen drama with a
mission:
ITO say that am glad that I de-
cided at the last minute to come to see
the picture sermon. Open Your
Eyes at It's special showing on Sun
day morning instead Of attending the
regular morning service at church Is
putting II mildly, Not that I would
not have enjoyed and benefited by
what the preacher had to say, but be-
cause feel that the vital facts so dis
tinctly brought before my eyes and
through them registered on my brain
by the film will remain wildly with
me all my life, and cause me to be Of
more value as a citizen, and able to
assist my fellow beings more than
any verbal sermon ever delivered.
"Of course I had known of and

he said, 'Just puff your cheeks"
After leaving the circus Mr.. Jones
made his debut on the stage in a play
written by a ministers wife, financed
by a deacon's wife and starring the
ministers daughter. With such
auspices everything looked rosy. Blu.
one morning in Toronto Mr.. Jones
came downstairs to ind that the COM
pany had dlsbanded and disappeared.
He thereupon Joined another circus in
the capacity Of acrobat, musician,
clown. writer and trapeze worker.
After various flyers in road COM
panies Mr. Jones made his Broadway
debut in the big extravaganza 1892"
in which he played the king OF Spain.
Mr.. Jones could sing very we'll, and
so he tells US that whenever the
thought OF being a king oppressed him
he burst into song. He received $s5 a
week. a good salary for those days,
when landlords did not take opium.
Then followed a long series of big
musical productions, including I'm Gay
New York" Lady Slavey," "A Round
Of Pleasure" Yankee Doodle Dandy"
and others. Those were the days of
great casts when stars OF the first
magnitude were content to play bits.
Mr.. Jones began his career as
farceur in Gong Some" written by
Rex Beach and Paul Armstrong. Since
that time he has appeared almost ex-
clusively in farces. in such successes
as Baby Mine" The Thirst Party"
"Mary's Ankle" up in Maoels Room"
and others.
Let no one think that the so-called
bedroom farce is dead" says Mr.. Jones.

plays. La La Lucille" FIRST written
as straight farce under the title of

JAZZING UP THE DRAMA.
TIME producer is modest, the &C

tors and actresses step into the
background. Hence this op-
portunity TO drag the shivering play
wright out into the spotlight. Who Is
he? Samuel shipman.
Perhaps the reader does not know
who Samuel, Shipman Is even now.
That merely shows what It is to be a
blushing violet Of playwright, almost
lost in the shadows Of the theatrical
woods.
But we have Sammie Shlpman out
in plain view, and we are going 70
make him show his talent to the as
sembled throngs. He Is the man who
put the jazz into playwriting. He is
the man who discovered how to elm
mate the agonles OF creation and sub
stitute for them the thrills OF produc-
ton. He recently contributed an ar
ticle to a monthly magazine entitled
IAN Life Is Melodrama," but he really
doesn't believe that. Life to him is
all comedy-and royalties. We can
prove 1t.
Life became comedy to him a year
ago when he discovered that II didn't
take so long after all to write a play.
The thing to do, he found, was to
smash It out In the least possible
amount Of time, and then grab all the
time left over to have a good time. AS
matter of cold record. It must be said
right here that Shipman usually con-
sumss the extra time in writing an
other one, but that only goes to show
how much fun there is in his Job.
