supreme achievement in romanticism
, is in having the orderly mind of mill

truth concerning the blowing up of the

The play constitutes wholesome

The Better Ole" and yet everyone of
them III the audience, whether he mas

you dozen sins against military fact
and probability. What they see that is
right is the attitude OF the soldier and
his adroit use of frivolity in evadine
the tremendously tiresome routine Of
war. to say nothing of its terriers. This
attitude is the same. no matter what
the soldiers nationality.
The play has a special, after thc-war
plea for our favor. 1t allows us to ad
mire three men who arc such poor sol
dicrs. War demands of soldier a
definite amount of intelligence. com
plcte temperamental sobricty and a
thoroughly conventional manner Of re-
acting to any given set Of facts. Out
OF men with these highly commendable
qualities one makes winning armies. If
other qualities crop up it becomes a
military necessity continually TO
squelch them. a man who is good
soldier makes of himself very dull
person. This wouldn't be true if there
were more heroic moments in war. but
the facts can't be cvadcd. heroes are

Fewer Productions and
Bigger, Says Louis MAYER

A war among the motion picture
manufacturing and exchange interests.
which will affect over 10000 theatres
throughout the country, was declared
by all concerned owing to the action
taken by the Anita Stewart Produc-
tons, Inc. This concern is headed
by Louis B. Mayer, and his entry as
producer is his protest against the
methods of the big syndicatcs.
In statement given out Mr.. Mayer
points out that long term cancel
liable contracts deprive the theatre man
of the privilege of selecting his pro-
grammc; the keen competition among
the theatres makes the contract pos
slblo, with the result that the man
ayers advertise to the public attrac-
tons which they have not themselves
seen, and if the picture is not up to
standard there is no redress.
10 eliminate these conditions Mr..
Mayer has announced transcontinental
trade showings. His representatives
"iS Nv" O0I di idllS luS SO LnaC every
exhibitor in the country may attend the
advance exhibition of the first picture
which is "Virtuous Wives" AS in the
case of the Strand Theatre here, which
is showing it this week, no contract
will be taken until the manager has
seen the picture. Under this selective
system the theatre man as we'll as the
public will be certain Of the quality
of every show.
This fight on the "blind'.l looking"
system will undoubtedly force the
other concerns to combat the Mayer
idea, as they cannot follow suit be-
cause the rate Of production is too
fast to allow of it; but the basis of
the Anita Stewart operations is that
there should be "fcwer productions
and bigger ones"

The Crowded. Quarter-Hour
With Jane C01uL
By E1arriette Unoerhill

We wonder if Scott really knew wha-

those lines to be proclaimed "to all the
sensual world"
OF course there are crowded hours
and crowded hours, but our idea of a
really crowded hour is getting three
interviews. And that is what VIC were
called upon to do New Years Eve.
Realizing that Jane Cowps hours arc
quite as crowded as our own We let her

the blue velvet Sclwyn just in time to

Protest Against Realism
in 's7he Better 'OIe'

War thrills have become like punct-
ured bladder, and public suffering
from war hangover is all too ready
to scrap every theatrical gun which
barked with crashing efficiency three
months ago. And yet THE Better
Ole" a dramatization of Captain
Bairnsfather's remarkable war car
toons. is bowling along with all the mo-
montum of success
Why?
The answer furnishes an important
hint to dramatsts and producers of
the near future, as we'll as to their vic
Tins, the public 1t is not without in
terest also to the amateurs.
"The Better ole" presents the solace
three war-stricken men of Old Englans
find in each others companionship and
foiblcs. AS an accurate representa-
ton of the appearance of the front line
trenches or the manner in which war
rors of to-day order their lives. it is
less than nothing. Many have criti-
cised the incongruity of having silly
Broadway chorus girls romp about
amid French village just behind the
lines. These very chorusy scenes are
a supreme achievement; they help
take the piece out of the realm of
"iaithfulness' or news reporting and
chuck 1t willy nilly into the mould OF
fancy. thus 1t accompishes an excel
lent presentation of the mental atti-
tude, the spirit of the British soldier.

no Is Helen Hayes?

1t is the sudden, if not the unex-
rected, thing that is always happening
ir the theatre. Many an actor has
dined at restaurant unknown ana
lnnoticed, and then has found himself
the talk of the crowd in the same
restaurant at supper time. Success
comes that way on the stage.
A few VIC eks ago only Il few
people knew that there was an actress
Of the name of Helen Hayes. About
II o'clock last Monday night all over
New York there were people who were
talking about chat little Hayes girl"
who had just made such hit in J. NJ.
barrie's new comedy, "Dear Brutus.' at
the Empire Theatre. Everybody was
wanting to know who she was.
There really wasn't so very much to
tell. For little Miss Hayes is actually
just as young as she looks on the stage
Her full name is Helen Hayes Brown,
and she claims Washington, d. c.. as
her home town. Lew Fields discovered
her. That was ten years ago, when she
was a mere tot. At that time she was
the star pupil Of a teacher of dancing
at the capital, and Fields, who was
Playing III Washington, CHANGED to see
her at an amateur entertainment given
at the Belasco Theatre. He immcdiatc-
ly offered her, or rather her mother
for her, an engagement in q musical
play he was about to produce. She
made her debut the next season in cold
Dutch" Then she appeared in "The
Summer Widowcrs" and "Thc Never
Tones" Next Charles Frohman en-
gagged her to play tho little girl in
The Prodga Husband" comedy in
which John Drew was the star She
played then in stock for couple of
seasons, and last year George c. Tyler
gave her the title role in "Pollyanna"
company that toured the Pacific Coast.
Early this season she was seen at the
Globe Theatre here in "Penrod," an
ether Tyler production. She played
Penrod's sister.
When they began to cast "Dear
Brutus" in the Charles Frohman Office
at inc LHpllC l uSdblS All AidS Il'd'i az
once thought of the little girl who had
once played with John Drew. He
needed just such girl for the part of
the artists might been daughter,
Margaret, in the mystic wood scene in
the second act of the Barrie comedy.
He called up Mr.. Tyler and told him he
needed Miss Hayes.
'Not on your life,' replied Mr.. Ty-
Ter. CAS- soon as | find the right play
I'm going to star Miss Hayes"
Mr.. Hayman argued. Mr.. Tyler
wouldn't bulge.
Well" said Mr.. Hayman at last, oil
send you over the play to read"
That night Mr.. Tyler read "Dcar
Brutus." In the morning he called Mr..
Hayman on the phone.
"You win" he said. OTIS wonder
full part and Miss Hayes can play it. |
won't stand in her way"
Last Monday night Mr.. Tyler was in
the audience at the Empire and saw
Miss Hayes score hit-one of the big
hits of the current season. Did he en-
Joy it? Well, rather. He beamed.
And now he's looking all the harder for
that play to make her star.
