Mrs. T1nnble Bradley Achieves
Success as Director of Plays

or a joyous measure to awaken emo
tion, so Mrs. Bradley can play upon
the sensibilities of an audience by a
tudicious use of colors.
In staging an act she uses that
combination OF Colors, coupled with
lighting effects, that subtly convey to
the audience the proper mood for the
play. Her work in staging The
Crimson Alibi" in nine scenes, one OF
which is a massive set showing three
floors of a hotel-was so notable that
Mr.. Broadhurst sent her to London to
reproduce the effects at the Strand
Theater in that city.
Mrs. Bradley has acquired her
knowledge of this difficult business OF
the theater, not by love of beauty or
temperatmental talent but by a nat
ural gift for the work, perseverance
and opportunity. She was educated in
France and the impression made on
her young mind by the finesse and
artistry of the French is evident.
In later years members of her fam
lily were connected with the American
legation in Petrograd, and she lived
two years in Russia. Here she
acquired her astonishing wisdom in
colors. The Orient and the Occident
met in a bewildering profusion of
color in Moscow, the art center of the
theatrical world.
Unoffcially Mrs. Bradley staged
several plays for the Staniskawsky
Players at the Moscow Art Theater,
and gradually learned more of the
technical side OF producing. In Rus
sia she did her best writing, for Mrs.
Bradley Is an author and playwright
and has many successes to her credit.
Mrs. Bradley has blazed the trail
aaII l.
likely that the path will be unduly
crowded. There are very few who are
fitted by knowledge, talent or courage
to follow her.

Under the title of Three Wise Men"
John Golden, then associated with

little later 1t scored a tremendous
success in the metropolis, then under
its new title OF Three Wise Fools"
The verdict of Washington play
goers was later substantiated in
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and
other large cities, for Three Wise
Fools has scored an unqualified sue
cess wherever presented. It will be
seen with the original New York cast
of principals, including Claude Gill
ingwater, Harry Davenport and How
ard Gould. or these, Gillingwater
was the only player in the company
when originally presented here. The
changes were made before the New
York opening.

role OF the judge. Harry Davenport.

"Three Wise Fools" has won the
enviable reputation OF being the finest
acted comedy seen in New York in
years. The play is clean, the dialogue
brilliant and a thrill is furnished in
an unexpected spot. Those who en-
Joy a well-wrought play in the hands
of artists are sure to find an evenings
delight IN John Golden's offering.
As those who saw II here originally

lives OF three Rrouchy old bachelors
who live together in Washington

into a humdrum routine.
How a young girl enters their lives
and lifts them for a time out of this
existence is woven into three acts of
exceedingly entertaining comedy.
Besides Gillingwater, Davenport

A little woman, with all the gentle
ness and charm of femininity, but a
vertiable human dynamo, upon whose
slender shoulders rests a burden too
great for many a man to carry-this
is Mrs. Trimble Bradley. She is gen
eral stage director for George Broad
hurst. and incidentally the only wom-
an stage director in the country.
Within the past few years cour-
ageous and industrious women have
invaded many fields formerly thought
exclusively mans. 1t remained for n
daughter of Kentucky to make a
name for herself in the one depart
meDt of the theater not previously
conquered by her sex.
The theater has always been gener-
Gus to women. For many years Il
was, perhaps, the only profession
where being a woman was not han
dicap. But It was the acting side OF
the theater that women adopted. The
more exacting and more difficult prob
lens were left to men until Mrs.
TFimble Bradley, fortified by a great
knowledge of her subject. undertook
to prove that no work is too onerous,
too difficult, too intricate, too ex-
hausting for a woman. She has
proved that woman is a valuable busi-
ness asset to a producer, whether she
be stage director or star.
Mrs. Bradley has staged and super
vised big productions in Europe and
America She has visualized in her
pretty head the entire scenes of a
drama or melodrama and has seen her
mental picture develop into a tang
ible, beautiful thing, under the heavy
fingers of a stage crew. She is the
thought behind the show, she is the
brain of the production.
She supervises the actual making of
the scene models, selects the color
scheme, interior decorations and cos
tunes, plans the actual building of
the scenes. She directs the re-
hearsals and Is tireless in her strenu-
Gus work. She has many successes to
her credit-"The Crimson Alibi," ''The
Storm" The Wonderful Thing" and
Come Seven"
1t is her knowledge of the
psychology of color. more than any
thing else, that is responsible for
Mrs. Bradley's success. AS music

The predicament of the young So
ciety man in trying to hide himself,
escape from the house, and make ex-
cuses for his presence when discov-

with which the farce abounds.
The fact that a maiden aunt OF the
hostess arrives at n most opportune
time, and believes that the young
society man Is really the husband OF
her niece. mixes up the situation,

Asked il he did not. think a play
should exert an edifying or educa-
tional influence, Mr.. Hopwood replied /:
II never knew OF a play which, in
a few hours time influences anyone's
life. I think most people go to the
theater for a few hours entertain
ment. They may learn how to wear
evening clothes or how to handle tea
cups, but the main question in regard
to the theater is, is it beautiful or
amusing
THE real problems in life are so

they would cause tears and mourning.
Attempts at problem plays only sue

opinion the only one big American
play, The Easiest Way is the best
serious play written in years, and it
didn't solve anything. II they had
