IN the next ten or twenty years, quite
comparable to the Elizabethan age. It
will be brought about by the drama
lists who write their dramas on the
walls of the modern theater rather
than in studies; it will be brought
about by dramatists who write for
their own generation the best that thew
have, as the Elizabethan dramatists
did, .
A brief question was interjected
here, which sought to draw out Mr..
browne's opinions on giving the public
what they want"
is not my purpose. No one can give
the public what it wants, for no one
knows what that public wants. There
is no definite standard. Give them
what you yourself want, and if thew
like it, we'll and good. But the only
sincere thing for the lover of the
modern stage to do, for the modern
dramatist to do, is to give his own
generation what he wants himself,
u believe that there will be a re-
ylval of the drama in this country
largely because | have found here the
greatest dramatic sense of any coun-
try that L know. l have made my home
mere Tor ten years, and my first H.
luslons about the country have. of
course, disappeared, but the tremen-
dous dramatic sense of the people is
as evident as ever. 1t is displayed in
hundred incidents of daily life. in
polltlcs, in business. Given this
dramatic sense and the sincerity nee
essary to bring it to the stage, there
should be here, as there has been in
that other land Of the strong dramatic
sense. Ireland, great dramatic re-
vival."

Solange Hutchins was preparing TO
her first interview. She paced up an,

she thought Of everything she ha'
done N the sixteen years Of her life
of witty things to say to the inter
viewer. She committed them to mem
ory and, thoroughly scared, she se
forth to meet the demon of the press
A tall, grrf. impatient man in a sloucf
hat, che imagined girlishly, would sub

only q little less severe than an in

Solange certainly was not the picture

terviewer.
with Mr.. and Mrs. Randall and their
son Carl, the dancer who is to appear
in the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic TO-
morrow, Solange arrived last Sunday
on her first visit to America. Her
father was Count Lestazzi (she is
entitled to call herself the Countess
Lestazzi) and her mother is an Ameri-

have been friends since Rirlhood, and
when Mrs. Randall went to Paris she
met her friends daughter for the first

441HEN Hope Hampton, one Of the
~ newest actresses before the CAM

339HEN Hope Hampton, one of the
~ newest actresses before the cam
era, talks for publication, it is the fu-
ture rather than the past of which she
wishes to speak. But there are events
in Miss Hampton's past, brief as it is
which must be known before the
future can be predicted.
A Dallas, Tex, girl, it was through
newspaper beauty contest that she
came to the screen; as student at
the Sophie Newcomb School in New
Orleans she submitted her photograph
IN such contest and when she won
there were several immediate and fiat
tering offers to act in the silent drama.
But Miss Hampton, conscious Of her
own limitations, realized wisely that
without experience, as she was, her ca
| reer on the screen would be dsappoint-
ingly brief. If she entered the profess
sion, ran her reasoning, mere beauty
would be no guarantee against speedy
termination Of her career.
So the scene shifted to New York.
Here came the Dallas schoolgirl and
enrolled as student in Sargent's ORA
matte School, which demands two years
work for graduation. But in the case
Of this girl at the end Of the first year
the conscientious faculty Of the school
refused to keep her longer as a stus
years course. She had made herself
ready. Opportunity was near at hand.
AT the annual presentation Of the dra-
matte talent Of the school Jules E.
Brulatour, one of the deans Of the
motion picture industry, saw Miss
Hampton and realized her possibilities.
This, brings the history of the star
nearly to date, for her very first pic
ture, "A Modem salome," has been
Hampton herself has just returned
from two months trip to England,
France and Italy.
Rome came first in her memory. for It
was there that Miss Hampton, in a pink
costume of the period Of Marie An
tolnette, sat for pastel to Count Baccl
Devanutti, and it was there that she
cast ten coins in that famous fountain
where, says legend, the casting Of a
single coin spells sure return to the
Eternal City. But her pleasure had

rights to "A Modern Salome,"" sealed the

Even the sea paid tribute to her, for on
the homewerd trip Miss Hampton won
prize for beauty, both of face and
costume.
California beckons next. The produc-
ton of a second picture waits only on
the discovery of a story that both MI
Brulatour and Miss Hampton consider
suitable. Both admit the difficulty of
the search, a difficulty caused by the de-
mands of both, for the next drama for
Miss Hampton must be a story Of Amer
ica, with American atmosphere. Not
that this actress wants a story of prop
uganda. but rather that she wishes to
bring out her full powers by the use of a
native vehicle by bringing to Ameri-
can audiences the stories that they know
and appreciate. For Miss Hampton
knows full we'll that she is at the mere
beginning Of her screen career; it is for
this reason that she is so concerned with
the future and so careless Of the past.

The Shuberts were faced with a diff
fcult task when the time came fol
choosing the sextet for their coming
revival. So much has been writer
about the famous "Florodora" sextet
so much has been told by father to sor
about the beautiful maidens of twenty
years ago, that they have come to be re-
garded as the very pinnacle of feminine
charm. To be listed among the mem
bers Of the original sextet was to be
listed as a girl Of great beauty, and
there are countless women who claim
the honor. The ranks of the sextet
were depleted by marriages to million
aires and to noblemen, and it was
necessary to introduce new members
almost continually. The Shuberts had
to choose worthy successors to the
pretty maidens of the past. Then, to
prevent desertions, they inserted non-
marriage clauses in the contracts.
Here are the really original members
Of the sextet: Margaret Walker, Vaughn
Texsmith, Marie Wilson,. Marjorie
Relyea, Agnes Wayburn and Daisy
Green. All Of them married wealthy
men. Their successors were equally
successful, but their tastes in husbands
seemed to run more to nobility than
to money.
Out of more than two hundred ap-
plicants eight candidates for sextet
honors have been chosen. So that each
member may receive night off during
the week, the girls will play in rota-
tion. From Worcester, Mass, have
come two young sisters, Marcella and
Beatrice Swanson, with the blonde hair
and blue eyes Of their Morse ancestors.
Beatrice, who is eighteen, has posed
for the Phoebe Snow posters. Marcella
is one year older. Madeleine Richers,
a striking brunette Of this city, was
the third girl chosen by the Shubert
beauty experts. The others are Dana
Sykes, Dorothy Leeds, Vera Gibson,
Fay Evelyn and Muriel Lodge. How
will Wall Street greet them?

Comedy in Dorothy Gish's best and

of Little Miss Rebellion" which will
be seen at the Palace theater tonight.
A lonely little grand duchess of a
mythical European duchy is the CEN
trail figure in the picture. The royal
miss finally breaks through the re-
tainers who guard her and mingles
with some ballplaying American SOL
diers. Thus she becomes acquainted
with Sergeant Dick Ellis and attends
a jazz ball with him. Then comes
the revolution that sweeps the duchess
from her throne and sends her fly
ing, with faithful old grenadier, to
America. In New York she becomes
chief flapjack mixer in a quick-lunch,
and the reunion with Ellis, now in
"cits," follows.
Little Miss Rebellion" is chock full
